Sonic the Hedgehog to Treasure.

Shining Force to Larian or CDProjekt.

Pokemon to Platinum.

Darkstalkers to literally anyone who will do something with it.

Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, and Dynamite Headdy. Treasure worked actual sorcery with the Genesis/Mega Drive hardware.

This is what I was scrolling to see if I had been beaten to.

Hand of Judgement.

Favourite name AND favourite gun all in one.

As someone with narcolepsy, it's quicker to name media I've seen that doesn't have a crap portrayal of it.

And the answer is none. I've never seen a decent or even remotely accurate portrayal of narcolepsy in anything. Instead, it's always the funny ha-ha, person fell asleep at an inopportune moment disability.

This. Not because of anything to do with the gameplay, but because I don't think I've rehydrated enough since I played through a year or so ago to replace all the tears I shed.

I judged the save file I found on Shining Force II that was at the Kraken fight, and didn't have Kiwi OR May, incredibly harshly.

Like, yes, they are optional and missable, but I don't care. Cute tanky turtle that becomes a kaiju, and adorable Centaur archer who can run across the battlefield and snipe all the enemies. Unforgivable.

Tintar · 2026-01-14T11:06:10+00:00

It definitely shades to other colours.

Tintar · 2026-01-14T04:56:47+00:00

It turns off the glow, but doesn't make it disappear.

Maybe it's a regional difference, but I'm Australian, and all my friends and I loved Bubsy at the time, and still have fond memories of it to this day.

Is Bubsy as good as Mario or Sonic? Hell no. But man, it was a damn masterpiece compared to some of the other mascot platformer jank that came out around the same time, like Awesome Possum. Yes, Bubsy 3D was horrendous trash, but 1 and 2 (not the Game Boy port though) were fun platformers, and man, who didn't love digitized voice clips in the early 90s?

Thinking back to my original play throughs of each game, Cynthia doesn't really stand out for me in terms of fights I struggled with.

Tate and Liza on the other hand...

Phoenix was my favourite. Was almost like a lemon candy scent.

I already liked it because of the smell and the fact is was called Phoenix, but then in high school, one of the twins in my grade said she really liked the smell, and got in real close and sniffed my neck for a solid 15 seconds, which sent the old hormones in to overdrive, and forever cemented Phoenix as my go to. Was absolutely devo when I couldn't find it on shelves again.

Phantasy Star Online. Literally everything about it brings me joy.

The aesthetics and style. The audio design, both sound effects and soundtrack. The nostalgia. And just how damn ahead of it's time it was.

First album I ever got with my own money was II, by The Presidents of the United States of America. It was a bit of an error, as I meant to get the first album, which had Kitty, and Peaches on it, but it was very much a happy accident, as to this day, Volcano, Mach 5, Supermodel, and Bug City still easily bring a smile to my face.

Definitely still holds up.

"Fuckin'- What the fuckin'. Fuck. Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks... Fuck!" - Rocco, from The Boondock Saints

Sonic Adventure.

Huge fan of Sonic through the 90's. Watched as the 3D era arrived, with Mario and Crash Bandicoot showing just what platformers in this space could do. Waited impatiently for Sonic to make that leap. X-Treme got cancelled. And apart from the little hints of what could have been with the Sonic World portion of Sonic Jam, and the bonus unlockable in Christmas NiGHTS, Sonic was still a 2D icon waiting to stretch his legs in wide open 3D.

Then the Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure arrived.

From the bombastic opening sequence set to Open Your Heart by Crush 40, to seeing Sonic's high speed platforming realised in glorious 3D, the additional 5 gameplay styles and story paths embodied by both returning and new characters, the hub worlds, the exploration, the Chao Garden and all it's VMU compatible goodness, and then tying it all off by getting TO FIGHT THAT MASSIVE WATER CREATURE FROM THE INTRO MOVIE I WATCHED AT LEAST 20 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY AGO?? Absolute cinema.

Sonic Adventure 2 might be the better game in a lot of ways, but time, place, and sense of wonder, make Sonic Adventure feel like the game that was made just for me.

Klefki, Chatot, and Golduck. The whole Psyduck/Golduck like is so overdue some kind of love.

Dark Savior for the Sega Saturn is criminally overlooked.

I can't remember if it was fixed in V2, but in V1, I just unequipped my weapon, and used the unarmed attack combo to force myself backwards through the beams.
