Also, there are games that one cheats in just because they like the graphics or presentation or whatever, but don't care to actually challenge the game.  Examples from me:

Bio-hazard Battle (Genesis)
Various arcade shooters

Chit-Chat / Secret Santa 2024
« Last post by Necromancer on October 23, 2024, 09:28:51 PM »


For fucks sake, I'm even later this year!!!  I'm late as shit AGAIN, but Secret Santa is back for another year!  Here's the same ol' rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't / won't follow through.
2.  Sign ups are open until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will be sent out to their respective Santa.
3.  Due to past issues, no super new members allowed.  Santas must have a minimum of 25 posts or have a long timer vouch for them.
4.  To make life easier for me, please fill in the form below when sending me your info.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.  Please don't ask Santa for relatively rare games that sell once every 90 days on ebay for reasonable prices; he's on a schedule and can't wait months for a deal to come along.
5.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated, unsold BIN pricing.  (But honestly, isn't EVERYTHING overpriced nowadays?)
6.  Gifts should be mailed by December 11th to give the PO two full weeks.  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with an empty yule log.
7.  Also related to a past issue, make sure your gift is sent with tracking.  If at all possible, it's strongly suggested that you have Santa send your gift to a secure location (work, PO box, a neighbor that's home, or held at the PO); if tracking says it was delivered but your package was stolen off your porch, it's not Santa's problem.
8.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you fuck this up and I'll shit in your toaster.
9.  The most important rule is to have fun!

For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive something extra in their stocking.  I'm not sure what it'll be, but I think everyone that wants 'coal already has it.  Any suggestions?

Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

I remember near the end using Rumi and SLOWLY moving forward while constantly firing.  That was the only way I could get to the final boss.

Pretty sure that was one of my tactics as well. Got to be the hardest game of actually ever beaten! I also remember using Fahkyle for level grinding in the final level with his lightning attack.

As far as cheating, maybe more than anything, Battletoads. Definitely remember cheating on that game with the game genie.

Exile Wicked Phenomenon comes to mind for me.  I think the only way to get through certain area is to actually get hit in just the right way to move forward and avoid the enemies.

TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Re: Game of the Month: October 2024 - Devil's Crush

Played this and Alien Crush last night for a bit.  So, yes, Devil's Crush is the better game, but man, I like the soundtrack to Alien Crush a good deal more.

Pinball on videogame consoles was weird back when these were coming out.  I think they're still some of the most interesting games I've ever seen.  There's a lot you lose by taking pinball into a digital space, but these two really showed that there was a lot to be gained as well.  Yeah, you're playing pinball on your game console, but you're also playing a videogame.  I thought it was leaps and bounds ahead of, say, NES Pinbot.

As a dumb aside, TZD used to have an FAQ where a question was if they would buy used games from owners.  TZD's response was something like "We can't do that because then we wouldn't be selling all NEW games.  Also, how many copies of Kieth Courage would we end up with compared to how many copies of Devil's Crush?"
