Chit-Chat / Re: Has anyone ever seen every episode of MST3K?

« Last post by Lost Monkey on March 30, 2025, 02:08:05 PM »

I've seen upwards of seventy over the years, as I can only stand so much bad film making before taking a long break.

Not even close to all... and I have been watching on and off since the 90's. 

I find comfort in knowing there will always be some MST3K out there that I haven't seen.

In terms of the new seasons (Netflix era), Mac N Me and Star Crash were great. 

My favourites from the original run would be Godzilla vs Megalon, Catalina Caper, Squirm and Laser Blast.

Yeah I just consider it a remaster of the PC 88 and 98 versions. I think it has three extra levels, one for each character you can play as in the game.

Major points for that!!!!!!

  I did get to see the stuff from 2017 and 2018, but nothing past that yet.  There's also the free stuff on the official YouTube channel that I check every few days.

Original mode is so difficult.

just upgrafe the laser twice and you're good, homie
the laser is pretty much the best weapon in the game

rondo, splatterhouse, darius, r-type...honestly not a big fan of how genesis fans are basically "stealing" pc engine exclusives for more powerful hardware

shame the bubble bobble pce port never got finished
i think contra/super contra arcade ports would be pretty nice. im a younger guy without nostalgia, so i always kinda liked the arcade versions more, the difficulty isn't quite as high

i think a relatively simple hack would be "SFII hyper fighting", its pretty baffling pce never got that one. just adjust some code, hardly any new graphics
samurai shodown would have been really interesting to see on pce arcade card, kind of a missed opportunity i think, and of all the snk fighting game ports on the snes, i think samsho is one of the weaker ones, so a pce port can't be much worse

Everything is better on Turbo.

Popful Mail isn't better on Turbo.

i believe it actually has a couple extra stages, but it would benefit from a fan translation. its more like a 16-bit version of the pc98 once rather than a full remake

pretty phenomenal platformer, holds up well against bonk 2 or the sonics. taito definitely improved upon jogoku meguri and new zealand story (botched port aside)
it loses a bit of presentation compared to the arcade and "some" levels don't have both doors, but everything is mostly intact
once change i like is that fire doesn't spread like it does in the arcade version, so certain bosses are not nearly as frustrating

ungodly rare and expensive game just like the other 1992 taito hucards. saturn port is also crazy expensive

truthfully, the system needed an actual DBZ fighting game.
the real time turn based one is interesting, but not anything that follows up on SF2 fever like the butouden series did.

i've never beaten r-type tbh, stage 6 is best i ever did on one good. if i were to go back to r-type, id probably just stick to part 2 hucard with the password haha

i've 1CCed tatsujin on easy and 2CCed it on normal, the rapid fire helps of course
side arms is just insane, i did that within the default continues provided but i could never 1CC that
never played image fight except the first stage...at this point in my life i don't really play hard games anymore!! lack of time, too much stress
