Uh...bad street brawler was amazing

Holy crap that's Bad Street Brawler. I have this game still. It's straight up the worst game I've ever played.

The name really does say it, it's a bad street brawler.

I've just played the first level on a Spectrum emulator.

I have no real wish to play the second.

To think all you had to do was wait 2 more years for River City Ransom to come out. If only precognition was real.

The "actual game" looks like a Altered Beast that takes place in a US park.

I decided to play Crystal Warriors recently because of the awesome cover art. DUDE I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. That game rules!

I'm reading this game's wikipedia page and it sounds very fun. What a shame it's stuck on the game gear and the now nonexistant 3ds eshop. I hope Sega does another re-release. Not that it matters to me 🏴‍☠️.

My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I've ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

10s of MB software with the rest of the disc as CD audio was standard for the time.

Even with those constraints PS had noticeable mid-battle lag as it loaded in animationss.

I 💯 went through this disappointment. I used to also love looking at a game's concept art because they always looked so much cooler and atmospheric than the game. I remember the inflection point clearly. I was playing Mass Effect 3 and walking around the citadel wards/docks, with it's beautifully detailed textures, evocative colours, and painterly lightshafts, feeling absolutely enthralled, and thinking "Holy shit, they've finally done it, the gameplay looks better than the box/concept art."

I'm so glad I finally got around to playing the ME series. Such a memorable trilogy of games
