Any tips on getting a Chaos Emerald in Sonic and Knuckles?
I never gotten all of the blue spheres. I been trying forever to get all of the blue spheres. My friends won't share any secrets and they have all gotten all of the emeralds and even my mom has gotten one emerald. Need youtube video of getting an emerald.Any tips on getting a Chaos Emerald in Sonic and Knuckles?

Practice is the best way to beat it. Other then that, beat it as fast as you can or else the speed will be too much. I also suggest you find as many special rings so you can have more chances. I've gotten all seven chaos emeralds before beating Flying Battery Zone Act 2.Also, do not go for the rings unless you are familiar with the stage. If you just collect the blue spheres and avoid the rings, then it would be much easier. Get all the rings for a perfect at your second time trying.nivea cream
just concentrate and use the force Any tips on getting a Chaos Emerald in Sonic and Knuckles?
- After you touch a blue spheres, they'll turn into red spheres. DO NOT touch ANY red sphere.
- If the spheres are in a big X by X placement, they will turn into coins ONLY if you get the outtermost blue spheres and every single sphere in that 'box' is a blue sphere.
- Remember that if the blue spheres are in a 2 by 2 placement, they never turn into coins.
- Be careful with the white spheres. They will bounce you in the opposite direction and it sometimes gets harder to control. (If you do hit one, just press up to go forward again)
- Your running speed will increase, so watch out for that.
- Jump when you need to. It's there for a reason.
- Don't blink.
- Practice makes perfect.
- ????
- Profit!

Was GameCube launch that bad?
a lot of my friends who bought GCNs upon release in November 2001 say it was a terrible launch, some people also say that its purple color and marketing early on at launch combined with less than stellar launch titles made the GCN seem like a bad buy, and that even with its eventual $99.99 price tag and great selection of games it never got away ffrom that impression in some peoples mindsi'm not sure i agree with all of that, but thats what i hear on the internet, and i didn't get a Cube at launch, later on. but was it really that bad?As far as i Know the Cube launched with Pikmin, Luigis Mansion, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros Melee, Rogue Squadron 2, and that seems pretty good to me.Do you think its launch could've been better?I wonder why, with the GameCube launch looming in 2001, why did nintendo release Majora's Mask for N64 in October 2000? I know they spent years working on it for N64, it took OOT's engine and improved upon it, but i wonder if the Cube would've had a little more must have value for gamers and non-gamers if a prettier Majora's Mask had been delayed or canned on n64 for a Cube version.I think this may be a reason why Nintendo delayed TP so long and made a Wii version, it could easily be done considering the MiniDisc and DVD media formats weren't that big of difference. Additionally had Nintendo taken online gaming a lot more seriously in 2001 (which to be fair why should they have? XBL and PSN hadn't gotten big by then) but if it had online Melee, or online Double Dash maybe people would've liked that. I dunno. COuld've helped i suppose.So all in all, how could GCN launch of been improved in retrospect? Would you have delayed and made certain games like MM on GCN only? or change nothing really?Was GameCube launch that bad?

I recently bought 4 GameCube Games
[QUOTE=''EpiphoneMan2008'']I recently bought 4 GameCube Games[/QUOTE]And...?But anyways the OP has a great point that I never really thought about with the whole Majora's Mask things (that was a kind of dumb move on Nintendo's part). And yes from what I remember the GC launch sucked real bad. There was 2 good games (Rogue Sqaudron II and Tony Hawk 3) and 1 ok one (Crazy Taxi) the rest sucked IMO.
By most standards, the Cube was a really good system, but it it was still vastly inferior to every Nintendo system that came before it.
bad very bad, ,gc had the kind of launch the ps3 had,
I have always thought that the GCN had one of the best launches of all time. Pikmin and Smash Bros. Melee within the first few weeks of releasing (two of the best games the console ever saw). Luigi's mansion, Wave Race, and Rogue Squadon are all great games as well! Who's saying it was bad?Top three GCN games1) Pikmin 22) Pikmin (Launch)3) Smash Bros. Melee (Launch)VERY GOOD

i got a gamecube at launch with luigis mansion and rogue squadron II. and do you know what ? i was one of only a handful of people who bought one that day.

[b]Pikmin and Smash Bros were not Gamecube launch titles[/b] they were not even close to the launch, they both came out over 6 months after launch!
Seeing as people seem to have little to no idea of what the Gamecube launch was like and I actually personally bought a Gamecube at launch I'll try to recall what it was like.
From what I remember people were quite optimistic, the console sold tons at the beginning but interest slowly decreased after the 1st few months. Out of the launch titles -
Super Monkey Ball and Rogue Squadron were both [b]very[/b] well received by magazine critics
Wave Race, Luigi's Mansion, Tony Hawks 3 and Crazy Taxi all achieved fairly good, though nothing amazing style scores around the 80% area If I were to put all the console launches of that gen into order it would be
1. Dreamcast - Soul Calibur (one of the most acclaimed games of all time) Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, House of the Dead 2, Hydro Thunder, Trick Style
2. Gamecube - Super Monkey Ball (Awesome) Rogue Squadron (great gameplay and the graphics were amazing back then) Luigi's Mansion (great gameplay just a bit short, Wave Race (not as amazing as the original but still very good)
3. XBox - Halo, Project Gotham Racing (extremely good update of Metropolis Street Racer) Much's Oddysee, Fusion Frenzy (good for multiplayer though a bit lacking in single)
4. PS2 - Timesplitters (very good multiplayer though pretty poor in single, easily the best launch title for PS2) SSX
weren't luigi's mansion Star wars :rogue squadron 2, crazy taxi and wavestorm exclusive launch games?that doesn't sound so bad. Now the PS2 launch, that was bad
Crazy Taxi wasn't exclusive, but the others you mentioned were, and Monkey Ball was for quite some time as well, heck Monkey Ball 2 came out on Gamecube before the 1st Monkey Balls arrived on XBox and PS2.

They both came out two weeks after the Gamecube was released...but yeah, they were not official launch titles either way.
I agree with most of your other thoughts though. I bought mine a couple of days after Christmas that year with Rogue Squadron II after receiving Luigi's Mansion and Super Smash Bros. Melee as presents.
It was a decent launch. Better than the N64 launch at least. While Super Mario 64 is one of the best ever, to have just one other game available at launch was pathetic. Sign of things to come with that system really, but that's a whole other topic.

It was O.K. but it wasn't as good as the N64. Mainly because of it's graphics and some of it's crappy games ruined it. But the sega dreamcast (PS2 defeated it), PS2, and Xbox owned the the GC horribly.

Ps1 point blank gun ps2 compatible?
I know the Point Blankgamesare compatible on the Playstation 2 but are the original GunCon Namco guns compatible too or do I have to get a PS2 compatible gun and if I do will that work with point blank?ThanksPs1 point blank gun ps2 compatible?
I am pretty sure you need a guncon2 for the ps2. Or, there are several third party guns that claim to work on both ps1 and ps2 on amazon.com.Ps1 point blank gun ps2 compatible?
GunCon45s (aka, the PS1 GunCon) do work with a PS2 console and can work with some PS2 light gun games as well. To sum it up, yes you can play the original Point Blank on a PS2 with a PS1 GunCon45. You cannot do the same with a PS2 GunCon2, however.And Lazyhoboguy is correct in that there are alternatives that can switched between GunCon45 (PS1) mode, GunCon2 (PS2) mode, and Non-Guncon mode (for use with PS1 games that require the Konami Justifier), allowing you to simply use one gun with everything.

Hi, i'm having trouble getting my PS1 g-con to work on new tvs like LCD and Plasma. Do you know of any fixes please?

PS1 G-Con 45 guns
HELP!! My g-con 45's don't work on my fancy new TV. I've heard they're not compatible with Plasma and LCD tv's is this true?? Is there anything i can do to make them work?PS1 G-Con 45 guns
As far as I know, the original Guncons only worked on CRT displays (not plasma, lcd, led, etc). The newest versions of the Guncons work on HD TVs through the use of infrared emitters much like the Wii-mote so they are not dependent on the display technology of the television. The Sony made ones are USB and are designed to work with the PS3. There were a few third party guns out there that I believe would work on the PS2 that used IR (Liksang had one before they went under) but they may be difficult to find.-ByshopPS1 G-Con 45 guns
so no way to get them to work on plasma then?? : (
thanks for the info!

on the original xbox its limited to certain games.how do i play my own music in xbox games?
On the back of the box, it will say if custom soundtracks are available.
If you google it, there's probably a list of which games offer it.

Name this NES Game!
Alright back when I was a kid I had the original nintendo, this was back whe the 64 was new. I played this game that was much like a SWAT or Rainbow Six type game. You would rappel down a building a pick a window to smash and go in. You could also fall and die if you rappel too fast. It was a room by room type game. The guns made a dud dud dud sound, and when you died you would here a loud screech sound.Anyone remember this game? I just randomly thought of it while watching AVGN, but I don't recall the name. It was a hard but great game.Thanks for your help!Name this NES Game!
probably rescue the embassy mission.Name this NES Game!
And yes that is it! Just looked it up at vnes. Thank you!
your welcome :)
Hostage Rescue Mission, Rescue: The Embassy Mission, and Operation Jupiterthese are all different names for the same game. i think in the US it was Rescue:the embassy mission. i remember this game vaguely, not bad not great

Need help deciding on some PS2 games!
So I recently discovered I had $72 in store-credit to gamestop after purchasing a new PS2 slim. While I had my old PS2 I never really got around to playing many of the great games the system offered, and with my budget tightening and the games getting cheaper, now seems like the perfect opporitunity to play all the games I missed. I need some help deciding on which 3 of the following games to get this week (you're more than welcome to put in your own input as well!):Shadow of the ColossusIco (If I can find it)Final Fantasy XDragon Quest VIIIOkami (Is this really like the Zelda of the PS2)Klonoa 2Jak 3 (is 3 semi-open world like 2?)Ratchet DeadlockedSly Cooper SeriesStar Ocean: Till the End of TimePsychonautsNeed help deciding on some PS2 games!
The GTA Collection.Need help deciding on some PS2 games!
sothc, final fantasy x and star ocean are great and really cheap right now
I'm also planning on getting Okami, if you get it first, let me know how it is.
out of your list I would go with Final Fantasy X Dragon Quest VIII and Jak 3
Final Fantasy X, Dragon Quest VIII, and Okami for sure.I have Okami on Wii and its great :)

Final Fantasy XOkamiJak 3But the rest aren't bad either. Infact, they're excellent (with the exception of Star Ocean which is junk) , so get them when you can afford them.
Dragon Quest VIII is the greatest PS2 game ever. It is also the best RPG ever! IMHOBUY THAT ONE!
So far heres what I'll be getting based on what you guys recommended:Shadow of the ColossusOkamiDragon Quest VIIII didn't choose FFX cause my friend said he'll let me borrow it for the summer, and I'll get Ico if I can find it. (If it's cheap.) When I'm done with those Jak 3 will be the next on my list. Thanks for the help guys, hopefully I'll have time to pick these up tomorrow! :)
Your list is so good that it's hard to chose.
Shadow of the Colossus - Pure awesome but not a long game.
Dragon Quest VIII - My favorite PS2 RPG. It's a very traditional JRPG and you will need to grind alot. You'll encounter random enemies that will wipe out your party.
Okami - A great adventure game
(Jak 3 is a great game and similar to Jak 2)

(unless your into real old school/formulaic RPGs you wont like Dragon Quest VIII. Ive played many RPGs and DQVIII is among my least favorite.) Star Ocean TtEoT is great if youve played the two previous Star Ocean games. If not, you wont understand the story.Outside of this list Id find the GTA collection, Rogue Galaxy, Xenosaga (I and III only. Skip II and read summary of it), Dark Cloud 2 (THIS IS A MUST!), and Tales of the Abyss. I can think on MANY others but you should just stick to these essentials to prevent creating an extensive backlog of games you need to play (I have one of these and it kind of sucks :P)

I was able to manipulate the spells and techniques I learned well enough to beat most enemy encounters as I whent along. That's one of the things I liked so much about it: the balance onf difficulty is perfect because you seem to learn the right spells to strategize your way through battles.
[QUOTE=''SimoSays2541'']I need some help deciding on which 3 of the following games to get this week (you're more than welcome to put in your own input as well!):[/QUOTE]Out of this list I would buy: Ratchet, Sly Cooper Series and Psychonauts. I would also suggest buying God of War 1%262 and Ace Combat 5, Zero and if you like them then Ace Combat 4
Out of that list, only Shadow Of The Collosus... but if I had to say: get the case that sells GTAIII, Vice City and San Andreas as one!!!. Also get Resident Evil 4 and Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3... I would say get 2 first to get a hang of it, then get 3. They are both equally as good games so you can't go wrong either way.
FF10, Okami, Shadow. I hate SoTC's guts and would have liked to recommend R%26C Deadlocked but i think that one was made purely for co-op/versus mode and centered around an arena? I havent played that one. Up your Arsenal is #3 and is what I would have liked to recommend. R%26C Size Matters doesnt really have the same level design as the others because its a psp port but it was still fun and I went through atleast 3 times to unlock stuff.You can not pass up FF10 its one of the top FF games. It has a cool stat building system, a cool weapon building system, and a cool guardian building system. Its just freaking cool. The story will turn your brain to mush and the graphics are great.Okami is a fun game that is very much similar to zelda in that you dont gain stats you just increase your health and get new stronger weapons and learn to do new things and the fighting is action based. The celestial(sp?) brush technique thing is pretty cool to and help you defeat bad guys but you can also use it to defeat all the generic enemies and get these bonus items that you use to unlock upgrades and stuff. This was this one developers(clover) only truly awesome game..People rant and rave about Shadow but I think it was garbage, its ampty and shallow and despite what everyone says its not even close to being one of the most beautiful games on the ps2.DQ8 sucks because it has a lame story, lame graphics (cartoony), and LAME combat. The only thing cool about it is that you can roam around 3d, it has all the familiar monsters from the past DQ games, and the music.If you want some other suggestion check out my signature dude. My #1 suggestion would be Dark Cloud 2. (along with FF10 and even though Okami is great its only good for a once through so I would get something else..)
I only own Dragon Quest VIII and Jak 3 and can vouch for both of them as good games.
Final Fantasy X for absolute sure.Persona 3Persona 4Those last two are not on your list, but they are absolute must plays. Get other games if you want right now, but get those eventually.
I'd go with Psychonauts, Okami and ICO.. and I'll add one that isn't on your listing.. Beyond Good and Evil.. all great games.nivea cream

GRAN TURISMO 3 AND 4 problems PS2

What do you mean when you say ''locking out?'' I once had a problem with my PS2 running GT4 after letting it run for over 48 hours, though after that it started having other problems too. GRAN TURISMO 3 AND 4 problems PS2
on gt 4 the little white dial on bottom centre of the screen goes red and stays like it - I've left the machine on for over an hour and nothing changes (i've done this more than once) and on gt3 I can't get access to even domestic basic b driving test when I attempt to load the first lesson a little white square appears in the top left hand side of the screen - and thats it nothing else happens

Its a problem with it reading the disk, I had the exact same problem. This is either a problem with the game disk or the disk drive in the PS2 (which was the case for me). The only solutions i can offer is to either get a replacement copy of the game, or to try and use a CD lens cleaner. If both of these solutions fail then you will need to replace the console.
Just seems strange that its the only these games, all my other games work fine
Mnay thanks for your help folks
if your games were used they could have been sun damaged
Sun damaged?
some kid could have left it in the sun and the heat expansion destroys the data
I have the same problem on GT4 where the white spinning dial turns to red that means disc read error even the disc surface is ok, no scratches. So, I decided to copy the the GT4 disc and then now I can play GT4 with the new disc that i have been copied. That's simple is it?

it wont play copies until you mod it with special items or use a special disc that allows it to happen
Yeah, I'm think that i'm using GT4 game that had been moded. The original GT4 disc usually has the capacity that more than 5GB but the game disc that had been moded has its capacity less than 4.7GB. Actually, I didn't know how to modding the disc but the disc that i had been used is a kind of pirated discs.
gt4 uses a 8.74 gb dual layer disc probably only one of 3 games to use dual layer on ps2
I have GT4 and it runs just fine for me.
I do have some complaints about it though. I miss the arcade type racing of 1 and 2 and they got rid of the racing Mod????
that hurt me the most right there. lol all in all its still an ok racing game = p

X-Men Legends III
Has anyone heard even the slightest thing about an X-Men Legends III? I can't find anywhere on the internet if it's in the works, or if they have ever said yes or no, even a vague maybe! Does anyone know anything? Obviously, I and II did very well. Someone HAD to have sparked the question...X-Men Legends III
Raven did X-Men Legends 1 and 2 then they did Marvel Ultimate Alliance. After that they did X-Men Origins: Wolverine. They haven't announced what they're doing next. Vicarious Visions is doing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. There's hasn't been any word/rumors/whispers of an X-Men Legends 3 and frankly I don't think we need one. MUA is fine for me.X-Men Legends III

I don't care much for the ultimate alliance games (not saying it's a bad game), b/c they lost touch of the x-men. Though, if they were to include a greater amount of x-men characters back, into these games as well, I would be more than happy! I love X-men, and my favorite characters are cyclops, nightcrawler, wolverine, and storm. I had great fun playing with that group as my team of 4, running around and defeating badies! It would be nice if those of us whom were strong x-men fans were able to play our most favored characters again! Even if you were able to include the other marvel characters like spidey and hulk. I would fall over dead if they were to bring a third installment to the Legends series, onto the PS3 and XBox360!!! But, just adding more of the X-men characters back to the RPG/Action games would suffice. :D
I don't know. I just don't think a MUA style game featuring only the X-Men would be a great idea now that MUA came out and gave us a ton of superheroes to mix and match into teams and then go beat up weird combinations of villains. I would welcome more X-Men into the MUA roster and it's inevitable that they will.
I enjoyed XL2 way more than MUA1 just from the mechanics point of view. XL2 had waaay better loot system and attribute/skill upgrading. MUA is crap in that area. I don't really care which set of hero's gets used I just want kick ass mechanics. I think Vicarious Visions is a craphole developer though and scared to death of what MUA2 will be like.
I'd really love a game like XL1 where the stoyr revolves around a new mutant.(one we customize ourselves!). Now that we got City Of and Champions Online two incredibly awesome superhero MMO's MUA2 better deliver BIG.
My most wanted to play as is Angel/ArchAngel.
Oh man I just remember MUA2 is based(loosely) on the Marvel Civil War story arc. That should be freaking awesome if the game turns out to be any good =/
I rekon MUA was way better than those x-men legends games. so dull same game but with all the marvel super heroes it was epic. the 2nd game will be a blast.
There's a Civil War game in the works.

Have you looked at the development of MUA II at all? Vicarious Visions is looking to do an awesome job and the fusion system looks to bring some new ideas and combat opportunities. There is a lot of potential for the title.
Hey if you wanna ignore their half-assed buggy glitchy past work be my guess(spidey3). I will expect a buggy/glitchy game and if its not I will say good job VV...for once....
Raven did X-Men Legends 1 and 2 then they did Marvel Ultimate Alliance. After that they did X-Men Origins: Wolverine. They haven't announced what they're doing next. Vicarious Visions is doing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. There's hasn't been any word/rumors/whispers of an X-Men Legends 3 and frankly I don't think we need one. MUA is fine for me.X-Men Legends III

I don't care much for the ultimate alliance games (not saying it's a bad game), b/c they lost touch of the x-men. Though, if they were to include a greater amount of x-men characters back, into these games as well, I would be more than happy! I love X-men, and my favorite characters are cyclops, nightcrawler, wolverine, and storm. I had great fun playing with that group as my team of 4, running around and defeating badies! It would be nice if those of us whom were strong x-men fans were able to play our most favored characters again! Even if you were able to include the other marvel characters like spidey and hulk. I would fall over dead if they were to bring a third installment to the Legends series, onto the PS3 and XBox360!!! But, just adding more of the X-men characters back to the RPG/Action games would suffice. :D

Any games missing from my ps2 list?
Hiya all. I've got or am considering getting;-Persona 4-Final Fantasies-Shadow of the Colossus-Metal Gear Solids-Gran Turismo 4-Ace Combat 5-Disgaea 2-Sly Cooper 3-Grand-Theft Auto: San Andreas-Katamari Damacy-Okami-IcoI don't actually own most of these games, but I'm in the process of acquiring =D. So yeah, anything I'm missing or might like based on my provided games? Thanks!Any games missing from my ps2 list?
To me Vice City is better than San Andreas....and it also would make sense to buy the first two Sly Coopers...Any games missing from my ps2 list?
Dark Cloud! :D
Ooh thanks for the suggestion. Not sure how I looked over Dark Cloud. Totally my sort of game xD. Oh and I'll add Dragon Quest VIII to that list..
Ace Combat 5 is a an exceptional game.Aside from that you could get Devil may cry 1 and Jak II which is as good as the sly cooper series.
kingdom hearts?
star wars battlefront maybe
dark CHRONICLE
uhhhhhhhhhhhh dunno any others
Yeah I've heard a lot about kingdom hearts and have an obsessed friend, but I'm sorry, not even gonna give it a chance. There's NO way that game's good =(. I refuse to have my image of final fantasy raped for the rest of eternity..
All of the SMT games, especially Persona 3.
All the Tales of games, Gradius V, The Silent Hills, God of War 1 and 2, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, Zone of the Enders, The King of Fighters, Persona 3 and 4, Guilty Gear, Dark Cloud and Beyond Good and Evil (probably Resident Evil Code Veronica)
FINAL FANTASY XII
Oh thanks for the Tales recommendation, totally forgot about them =). And would I still like God of War if I don't really like gore..?
Take a look at Primal. Heck of a PS2 game, great graphics %26 animation. Two characters to control that you can switch between.
[QUOTE=''yokofox33'']All of the SMT games, especially Persona 3.[/QUOTE]
Yes Persona 3 for certain. Make sure you get Persona 3:FES it includes the original game as well as an added 20 hours of gameplay that follows up the original story. It's only about $5 more if that now.
What about Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil.. both great games.
Rogue Galaxy, Shinobi, Champions of Norrath, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Dragon Quest VIII!!
Surprised that nobody mentioned Prince of Persia. This is one of the best series on the PS2. People say that it went down hill after the first one but I think it got better.
[QUOTE=''good_sk8er7'']Dragon Quest VIII!![/QUOTE]This. My favourite exclusive game on the system! Also Beyond Good %26 Evil (better than Dragon Quest VIII) if you don't have it

Sly Cooper is a Platformer. Other great platformes are the Jax and Daxter series and the Ratchet and Clank series.

I bought Metroid Prime Last Night and WW 3 Nights ago..........
So now what games are there that are MUST HAVES FOR GAMECUBE?If you are looking for these games WW was 15 Bucks on ebay and Metroid was 10 Bucks on ebay!I bought Metroid Prime Last Night and WW 3 Nights ago..........
Resident Evil 4,Super Smash Bros Melee and Paper Mario 2 the Thousand Year Door I would say.I bought Metroid Prime Last Night and WW 3 Nights ago..........
You have the 2 best.
Also, SSBM and Mario Kart DD.
Tales of Symphonia! And the Resident Evil remake
-Resident Evil 4 if you don't already have it on another platform.
-Twilight Princess if you don't have it on Wii (but for the lack of widescreen support, it's better on GC anyways).
-Beyond Good %26 Evil if you don't have it on another platform.

''SUPER MONKEYBALL''. Also, the best survival horror ever ''Eternal Darkness'' (one of the few horror games everyone should play). ''Simpsons Hit %26 Run'' (The Simpsons go GTA - Lots to unlock and plenty of in-jokes for fans), ''Metal Arms: Glitch in the System'' (to unlock the four-player multiplayer greatness and the ''Halo meets Mario'' hilariousness - Only game to ever make me laugh outloud), ''Soul Calibur II'' (Still the best fighter on the 'Cube or anywhere else), and mayyyyyy-be ''Resident Evil Remake''.I've also got ''Buffy The Vampire Slayer''... yeah, I bought it. So what? It's not bad...... stop laughing...
[QUOTE=''Ripcurl530'']Tales of Symphonia! [/QUOTE] I agree. If you enjoy RPG's, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
-PIKMIN 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My favorite game of all time)-Pikmin (A classic in my heart)-Beyond Good %26 Evil (I don't care which system, just get it if you don't have it)
Well, my faves are (apart from the ones you already have):
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Smash Bros Melee
Resident Evil 4
Viewtiful Joe
Super Mario Sunshine (I know others say it isn't very good, but it's still fun)
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness (Again, I personally found it to be quite nice)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Mario Kart Double Dash
Sanity Requiem (I hope that's how it's spelt)
Tales of Symphonia

The funnest racing game?
Which racing game did you have the most fun playing?The funnest racing game?
Out Run.The funnest racing game?
im not going to vote because of one thing no simulation racer
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of simulation racer's, its just a poll dude. The GT's were ok, and Forza was pretty cool but I don't think that they have the same ''fun factor'' that the poll refers to.
Mario Kart, F Zero GX, Micro Machines 96'
Formula 1 World Grand Prix for the Dreamcast. So rewarding.For multiplayer, it has to be Diddy Kong.
Out of the games listed I would probably have to go with NFS:Most Wanted. With that being said though, not one of those cracks my top 10.
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Burnout off your list. But I think PGR1 and 2 were my favorite legacy racers. Not completely arcade,but style still meant more than tuning and tweaking.
Neither that you mentioned. How could you leave out Mario Kart.
Crash Team Racing
super hang on.
Yeah, sorry to all that preferred Mario Kart and Project Gotham 1 %26 2, and others. Somehow I just forgot about them. I guess either not many played Rumble Racing or not many people liked Rumble Racing, I loved it back in the day, it was really fun. I guess I should've left that one off. I also liked Juiced alot too, apparently I'm one of the select few for that one too. That just goes to show how different we all are.
The Burnout games are just amazingly fun. Every one should give them a try, even if they don't particularly like racing games
To date, the only racing game I've even even the slightest bit of fun playing was Mario Kart DS
Cel Damage for GC
RC Pro AM(nes), Rock N Roll Racing(snes), RPM(snes), Test Drive 2: The duel(snes), F-zero series(snes), Ridge Racer series(ps1), NFS:Underground-Undercover(ps2/360), Road Rash series(snes/gen), Skitchin(gen), Demolition Derby 1(ps1)....I love all those.

Banjo-Kazooie Stop N' Swop True Story
Many people have theories on the Stop N' Swop ( A secret feature in Banjo-Kazooie allowing people to access secrets and use them in Banjo-Tooie.) The true story is that the secret eggs were programmed into Banjo-Kazooie, and they were able to be unlocked, but Nintendo cancelled Rare's plan. You were originally going to be able to stop or pause Banjo-Kazooie and swap the cartridge for Banjo-Tooie to unlock secrets within the game. Nintendo thought that the plan would allow hackers to exploit the code in Banjo-Kazooie or Banjo-Tooie, so the project was cancelled. The Eggs still are in Banjo-Kazooie, and Jamjars the mole in Banjo-Tooie explains after you find all six 64 carts hidden in Tooie that he wonders what they do. Banjo-Kazooie Stop N' Swop True Story
I thought they cancelled it because it was harmful to the n64 if you did itBanjo-Kazooie Stop N' Swop True Story
So why did you just tell us that??? Neat feature, pointless thread.
In Banjo Kazooie it was still possible to access the eggs and key. There was a code you had to enter in the sandcastle. On e you got the eggs and key though, there was nothing you could use them for, so it was pointless.
I found three of these 64 cartridges in the XBLA version of the game and found gold, silver, and bronze eggs. What color would the other three be?? And what does it mean?
Thanks for telling me that. I never actually heard about it.nivea cream

Yes, this was one of the biggest screw-ups in the gaming industry. Apple must have gone crazy to team up with Bandai...
Yes, I read the article about it.
I heard of it because I was on my 2d or Mac by that time, but did not get the thing it did not have much appeal as a gaming rig. stuck with the Nintendo systems.
At that time (1996) I never heard or read anything about this Apple console;PSX and N64 were the kings.

For just a system with the hookups and 1 controller, I think somewhere around $40 would be fair. Games could make a big difference, depending on what you have.Turbo Grafix....please help
well as far as I remember I still have quite a few games, off the top of my head not sure how many, also, I should still have the tap for extra controllers, which should all still be there
I have 70 games for my TurboDuo. If you have Wii, you can always get Turbografx games for the Virtual Console.

well as far as I remember I still have quite a few games, off the top of my head not sure how many, also, I should still have the tap for extra controllers, which should all still be there

PS2; What is the best T-rated shooter game with a thriving online community?
Pretty much what i said up there ^^^^PS2; What is the best T-rated shooter game with a thriving online community?
Even though I never played them, I would probably say the SOCOM games. They were pretty much sonys reaction to the increasing online focus of the x-box. There was 3 of them I think, and considering there were one of the few exclusive sony online games, I would not be suprised if it still had a somewhat decent player base.PS2; What is the best T-rated shooter game with a thriving online community?

Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED
honestly this was one of the best games for N64 good multiplayer and single player but for some reason mario kart got more attention when this was overall a better game in graphics,story and gameplay come on u got to use planes,hovercrafts and cars which included boss battles.
Even gs gave it a 6.6Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED
It held a pretty fond place in my childhood. I liked the fact that it had an original concept. It had new characters, multiple vehicles and kick ass multi player. I recently gave my cousin my copy of the game and he loves it.Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED
my copy is lost but I spend alot of hours with this game I hated mario kart 64
Yeah the game was amazing. I loved the challenge of the boss and silver coin races. The level design was really nice, especially the space levels.
My Dad and I played in Icicle Pryamid for hours with the map off. Over and over again. Me as Bumper and him as Tip Top. That game was the bomb except T.T. that giant clock annoyed me.
agreed - diddy kong racing was the bomb back in the dayi own the ds version and while it does bring back fond memories, it just isn't the same :cry:
I just dotn understand why mario kart is considered better when its plain and boring after 10mins
who says its underated ? ive never heard anyone say a bad thing about it. its a fun game, definitely better then mario kart 64 which imo is atrocious.
The reason why it is underrated is because even though people know its a good game, it is not as popular as mario kart 64, diddy kong is like three times better. I remember playing the multiplayer with my friend. but, now I am stuck on the first level... Summer is coming, maybe I can put some time into it.
[QUOTE=''wescash'']agreed - diddy kong racing was the bomb back in the dayi own the ds version and while it does bring back fond memories, it just isn't the same :cry:[/QUOTE]I agree. It doesn't have the same nostalgic feel to it.
Haha I played it once, got frustrated 'cause I couldn't win and I realized you had to place 1st to advance, and quit.
But y'know, I was young.
That game was so much fun. I loved how you could drive around the little island place to get to the different levels, and how you had to do different challenges like getting all the coins and still winning, or that game where you have to grab all the eggs, or the boss races.edit: oh yes the genie, the song that played when you drove around the island (laaa laaa laaa laa laa laa lalala) and when you turn on the game and it says DIDDYYY KOOOOOOOOOOONG RAAAAAACING were all pretty awesome
I liked Diddy kong racing more then mario kart aswell, I spent hours playing that game.
Well GS gave the much-loved Mario Kart 64 a 6.4. Go figure. (personally I think the reviewer just couldn't resist)
Gamespot reviews are often a bit screwy, and nobody likes lame names like ''Diddy Kong'' on their kart racers so I think the bias is understandable. Not to mention it came ot later the same year as Mario Kart... who needs two of practically the same game within a few months?
Simply adored it, I wish I had it.
One of my all times greats is Diddy Kong Racing remember getting it with my N64 christmas 97'. . . everything from the graphics, music and gameplay was perfect.
Also because i got it at christmas the snow covered world with its christmas theme was just the best feeling while playing :)
For multiplayer I'd say Diddy Kong and Mario Kart are even. But for single player DKR is way better with it's Adventure mode.
Yeah, I remember that game. Was actually pretty solid, I could almost compare it to Mario Kart 64. I liked how I it had cars, boats, and planes to race in.
I thought:DKR: 9.6MK 64: 9.5
I loved this game. I remember trying to race that one monster looking creature up the mountain and I would always hit one of the palm trees lol.

Just google warzone 2100 so you know.Late 21st century, most of the world is wiped out by nuclear warfare.
Thats when the Project began to create the new world. You are known as the commander and thus the protaginist. To build a new world and uncover the mysteries of the Nexus project.heres the link for the downloadhttp://wz2100.net/RTS game revived from humble ps1 beginnings now free for cpu download!!!
funny thing, iv'e got this game, the retail version in its original packaging, iv'e got it as a gift many years ago when it got out, and still got it, I remember it was a good game indeed :PRTS game revived from humble ps1 beginnings now free for cpu download!!!

I got the PS1 version and still play it a ton, but now I tried the cpu one and the graphics enhancement make it KICK BUTT!
ALSO FLAMERS ARE ACTUALLY WORTH SOMETHING.But machinegun strength is normal now. It isn't the best all around weaopon anymore :(
I played the heck out of that game. I think it was the first RTS I took seriously.
I have the 2.1.3 because its bug free, but that version doesn't include the movie campaign clips.The 2.2 beta does, but itsbeta so it has some bugs. I can't wait for the 2.2 normal to come out though :pBTW skirmish multiplayer rocks!!!

Well I have the ps1 version, and the pc version. Too bad I can't play the latest version, it never plays, it might load, then goes to the start screen. What sucks, is there is no replay mission part, so I saved on a part that I had no chance of winning, so I have to do the whole campagne again.nivea cream

I need some good RPGs
Some from each gen. I want a few from the 8-bit, the 16-bit, and the 32 bit. Also some for PS2.Thanks :)I need some good RPGs
Beyond Oasis for the Genesis. Is probably my first experience with RPG's. It one of my favorite experiences in gaming to date.I need some good RPGs
There's just too many to name, so look HERE
Yeah I agree with the above poster ^^. But if you want the best rpg, get Shadow of the Colossus.
EarthBound, Golden Sun, Tales of Symphonia, Mass Effect (although the last one isn't really retro it's still my most favourite rpg)
Definitely Star Wars: KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic).
[QUOTE=''Ronin893'']Beyond Oasis for the Genesis. Is probably my first experience with RPG's. It one of my favorite experiences in gaming to date.[/QUOTE]Yes I believe it is on the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I just ordered that so when it comes in I will definitely try it. Thank you :)
[QUOTE=''KrayzieJay'']There's just too many to name, so look HERE[/QUOTE]Wow thankyou! This list has helped alot!
Your welcome, I actually took a long read through it myself, but some games they didn't mention I think belong there are; suikoden v, dragon quest viii and persona 3 %26 4.

I suggest you do actually, I'll go as far as to say it's one of the best RPG's I've ever come accross, and I've played a lot of them :3oh and I've just noticed Suikoden V isalready on there which is good :P

If you have not played Xenogears, do so as soon as humanly possible.
SNES has the best RPGs. Play Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, and Earthbound.

[QUOTE=''p00zer'']Yeah I agree with the above poster ^^. But if you want the best rpg, get Shadow of the Colossus.[/QUOTE]Shadow of the Colossus is not RPG. But a great game nonetheless.

which Megadrive/genesis game has the best graphics
i choose sonic because of the 3d effectswhich Megadrive/genesis game has the best graphics
Virtua Racing, Earthworm Jim 2 and Sonic 3D Blastof those you listed, I think Sonic 3which Megadrive/genesis game has the best graphics
Sonic 3 and Sonic %26 Knuckles were great looking games. A nod has to go to Comix Zone, Ristar and Toy Story though.
Sonic 3/Sonic and Knuckles.
I also like the graphics of Sonic 2.
3D Vectorman, 2D Comix Zone.
Alien Soldier and Panorama Cotton.
The best looking Megadrive games are, in no particular order.
Sonic 3
Ristar
Misadventures of Flink
Ranger X
Alien Soldier
Gunstar Heroes
Contra: Hard Corps
Thunder Force IV
Many of the games you've given as poll options are pretty mediocre graphics wise for MD, tbh even Castle of Illusion beats the crap out of half those games.
[QUOTE=''Panzer_Zwei'']Alien Soldier and Panorama Cotton.[/QUOTE]Good call. That game had some massive sprites and cool looking parallax scrolling, which reminds me I forgot to mention Dynamite Heady.

MUSHA ALESTE, it blew my mind, first it took me years to realise that the second level is inside the first level boss (must of been really high in the air). Then on the third level all these metal plates drop off into lava and you could shoot certain enemies, and they would fall into the lava. It was a 3D effect.
Ecco 2: Tides of Time has some truly impressive 2D AND 3D effects. In my opinion, it uses almost all the programing kung fu the Genesis can handle without feeling gimmicky.
I always thought Alladdin looked pretty good for the time, that and Earthworm Jim.
Sonic 2
Virtua Racing (3D on Mega Drive), Sonic 3D blast, Vectorman, Gunstar heroes (not the best looking game buttechnically impressive given the speed and large numbers of enemies on screen). Mortal Kombat 3 (puts all previous MD Mortal Kombat ports to shame)

eBay is really your best bet. I don't know why you don't want to use it.

You could try amazon or gamefly.Best place to buy complete GBA games besides ebay?
I only know where to get incomplete GBA games... sorry.
...try Amazon.
I'd go with amazon too
CD Tradepost might be ok. http://www.cdtradepost.com/search-result.aspx?store=0%26searchby=browse%26cattype=game%26category=GBA
eBay is really your best bet. I don't know why you don't want to use it.

Friday the 13th for nes
Did anyboyd likes this game? I tell you, I love this game. Remenber, going to mine grandma house and playing it with my cusin. Man, we played that game all through the night and let me tell you, it scared the holy **** out of us. I just wanted get ur opinion.Friday the 13th for nes
It was crap. I would have liked it if I could have been jason. Nice attempt and all but it was a pretty bad game.Friday the 13th for nes
Agreed, the game did suck pretty bad....
[QUOTE=''mattykovax'']It was crap. I would have liked it if I could have been jason. Nice attempt and all but it was a pretty bad game.[/QUOTE]It was one of lgn's better works.....now that's kinda scary.
I really liked it..
I actually thought the game was decent (not great). As the game progresses it gets easier to defeat Jason, if you have stronger weapons. Now with that being said, he had stronger weapons later in the game too, meaning he could kill you more quickly as well. It was A LOT more difficult if you ran into him while outside!! The trick was to make sure you had a quick character and ALWAYS try to fight him INSIDE ;) There is a great deal of luck in predicting where he will strike next, because it is random, but if you keep your quickest characters alive (aka stay near them and try to light their fireplaces first), it is much easier than getting stuck with the slower characters near the end of the game! *Seeing as how Jason gets faster and faster*
It was mediocre, i think. i remember playing it.
I tried to like it, but...No.
hated every moment of that game.
the music is terrible, i get lost inside the cabin, the first weapon in the game is as useless as a wad of paper and the map is a piece of s****. The company LJN did a terrible job on this game as well as several others.
The game is horrable, granted, but seriously!!!! Thats one of the scariest video games I have ever played. Screw ''Fear'' and ''Resident Evil'' and ''Silent Hill'' and the rest of that crap. Friday the 13th was scary as hell.
I haven't played it in ages, but I still remember it quite well. I liked it, but it was too hard for me to beat back then...
game was scary. The **** pop out of nowhere and boom you almost **** your pants.

Can you create your own Rollercoasters, Go kart trcks, etc?
Is the interactivity good?plz I would like to know.Ok I really really like Roller Coaster Tycoon (2) but i have a question for PS2
why dont you just replace the drive? it takes 5 minutes max
about the game go read a review you find alot more thereOk I really really like Roller Coaster Tycoon (2) but i have a question for PS2
well I'll read the review, but we replaced the drive 3 times. Its something in the tower that I don't know about. Probably poor wiring or somethin.

why are these snes cartridges different?
I was just wondering if anyone knew why these cartridges are different. I own one game like the one on the left (In fact it's turtles 4). where as the rest of my collection is like the one on the right.![]()

They are so square! Ours are much better games and console :P Not my stuff tho I don't own a SNES. :( But yeah dunno just different region games maybe.![]()
Wow, I never even noticed that with SNES carts.
Dammit i need to know this useless information lol.
i too have several cartridges like the one on the left but most of mine are like the one on the right.only differences is on some of the older snes systems when you turned on the power a plastic tab would extend. the cartridge on the right would be locked it while the one on the right would still be able to be pulled out.newer snes systems (at least here in the US) did not have that tab lock.

which ps1 game has the best graphics
i choose gt2 because of the car detail and pictures of cars and partswhich ps1 game has the best graphics
FFVII's graphics were far from great if you look at it now... Chrono Cross had some nice visuals thoughwhich ps1 game has the best graphics
Final Fantasy VIII and IX, the Tony Hawk games and Chrono Cross.
i would go with ffVIII
''Reel Fishing'' and ''Pandemonium'', hands-down. ''Pandemonium'' especially, rocks the graphic punch of the system to the limit. If you haven't played the secret platformer sensation of the PSOne, you GOTTA. No kidding.
I'm not sure why FFVII is up there. For the time it came out the graphics were pretty great, but compared to the entire PS1 library it doesn't hardly hold up. But Final Fantasy VIII's graphics were great, along with the Gran Turismo series.
I think it was Tekken 3.
Metal Gear Solid in my opinion.Some of the areas in the game almost looked 3D accelerated at the time.

Best I personally have played would be from FFVIII.
LoL. FFVII should not be in there.
I would say FFIX. Great FMVs, great character models, great backgrounds, great everything.
final fantasy 7 and 8
FF8s graphics in the opening scene pushed the ps1 to its max.when i worked at blockbuster back in the day we would play that opening scene to make sure a ps1 was working good.
fear effect.
...FFVII?! XD Dude, that game's graphics were among the WORST...but anyways, I voted FFVIII or FFIX, they both look purdy. =D

Can you use a PS2 memory card...
For PS1 game saves? I can't remember... I am sure I still have PS1 memory cards, but it would be easier if I could just save my save games on the PS2 one...? I am just wondering because today I bought Tomb Raider II and Chronicles again off ofeBayand they should be here this week and I don't want to be disappointed... so if not, I will have tofind my PS1 memory cards (I know I still have them somewhere), but just wondering...?Can you use a PS2 memory card...

Where did you get one of those?? is it third party?
BUT everytime I tried to save a PS1 game on my PS2 I got an error message telling me there was no card in the slot until i bought a PS1 card.why would I bother to try and transfer a save from one card to another if I can't re use it until I transfer it back again.Seems like a lot of wasted motion. Also I am likely to lose track of the game since I have multiple cards for both.

You will almost certainly need a PS1 memory card. I think they come pretty cheap, which is more than I can say for the hideously overpriced PS2 memory cards.Can you use a PS2 memory card...

Where did you get one of those?? is it third party?
BUT everytime I tried to save a PS1 game on my PS2 I got an error message telling me there was no card in the slot until i bought a PS1 card.why would I bother to try and transfer a save from one card to another if I can't re use it until I transfer it back again.Seems like a lot of wasted motion. Also I am likely to lose track of the game since I have multiple cards for both.

I have not done it because I have many PS1 cards but you can transfer PS1 card to PS2cards but in order to use that save again you have to transfer it back to a PS1 card. Now I have all Sony consoles I don't have to worry about the cards anymore

perception of xbox
i remember when xbox was a joke. everyone thought it was going to fail, the controller was ridiculously huge, the console looked like a charred brick... the launch games, save for halo, were not very good. and the price was really expensive.fast forward to today, and there were some great games for the console (not just halo). that there weren't any good games must have been simply a bad perception similar to the flack that the psp gets for 'not having any games'.it had great support from sega and other japanese companies like from software and tecmo, but also some really interesting stuff like stranger's wrath and fable.it's hard not to feel sorry for the platform, as it was only meant to exist to establish the 'xbox' brand, and gain a consumer base. but MS did throw a lot of money at decent developers (which they're still doing now).it's funny how xbox is just accepted now (or '360' as people more often say).perception of xbox
For the Xbox coming out so late last generation, it really did hold it's own ground.perception of xbox
the Xbox was by no means a bad system, it was a good system.it just faced the same problem faced by other great systems like the dreamcast and gamecube..... it had the PS2 as a competitor.we all know how the PS2 was selling, there were alot of great games on it, it had thebrand name and legacy its difficult to go up against that.youve got to commend MS for not abandoning the platform despite the somewhatlackluster sales of the original Xbox.
I love my Xbox. And I agree that it's hard to comprehend the argument that there were no good games for the console. There were a ton of great games for it.

Best Survival Horror Games
Yeah, what is your favorite survival horror games? Mine are, in order:1. Silent Hill: Abosolutly amazing series. Chilling atmosphere, creative and deep stories, and, quite frankly, some of the most disturbing/creepy monsters ever thought up.2. The Resident Evil series: Whether it's zombies or parasitical mutant humans, the RE series remains chilling and fun. Now if only Dead Aim and the Outbreak games were as good as the rest. :(3. The Suffering. See RE, only replace the zombies and mutants with monsters reprensenting execution methods, and add blood....LOTS AND LOTS of blood.Best Survival Horror Games
this shows you didnt play Fatal Frame yet, because RE is not scary its just carnage on zombies and with RE4 they totally left being scary game structure. Silent Hill is not scary anymore thanks to the same fog everytime. but if you get chilling by these dont play Fatal Frame or you'll wet your pantsBest Survival Horror Games
thanks im gonna go check out FaTal FrAmE now ;) :)
The best in terms of truly terrifying, eerie, bloody atmosphere would be Silent Hill. Best in action would be Resident Evil series.
If you want a scary game, get System Shock 2 for the PC. I wouldn't classify it as a survival horror though. More like, sci-fi roleplaying shooter or something along those lines.
Not In order:Silent Hill Series.Resident Evil, the old games...they are getting into more action thatn horror now.As someone mentioned above, fatal frame.Siren...I think there is a second, I haven't seen it...or maybe it was only released on Japan, I have no idea.Obscure, fun two player horror game...a bit too short but it was fun...I'm waiting for the second one.Clock Tower 3.Kuon.Haunting Ground.Rule of Rose.(Freaky fat girl xD)And I'm saving my money for that new Alone in the dark game...it's said to be released on the PS2 as well, it may not, but I'll wait and see.The past dark alones are pretty good.

I disagree with you on Silent Hill, however. I think Silent Hill is still creepy. Not as much so as it was originally, but I still think Silent Hill is scary. Resident Evil, however, isn't at all scary, really. Suffering was pretty freaky, although it was a bit action-ish for a survival horror game.
Theres an independantly developed game series called Penumbra, the most recent is called Black plague give them a look over.
I would say RE4 but thats more like an action game so I choose SH2 which was the most scariest game I have ever played ! gave me goosebumps every time I played it.
Play Fatal Frame 2, in the dark, past midnight, alone
My personal favorite survival horror games: Resident Evil Series - they are all great and just keep getting better. I like the horror that comes from not knowing what is going to jump out at you next or whether you will be able to fight off the next horde of enemies. Eternal Darkness - similar to Resident Evil, but with an H.P. Lovecraft twist. Haunting Ground - I love the panic that sets in when you are being chased. (Clocktower 3 is a similar game, but it feels more like a demo game than a fully realized game, so I don't recommend CT3.) Siren - another game that relies on the horror of being chased. Siren gives you a very unique stealth-horror experience. But I only recommend it for people with lots of patience and who don't mind trial and error games. Silent Hill 4 - I think I'm the only person who posts on these boards who enjoyed SH4 but not SH3. I enjoyed SH4's eerie story line and setting. I found SH3 to be a boring trip down a bunch of long hallways. I haven't played the other SHs yet. For the record, I have played Fatal Frame 3, but never finished it. I personally found it to be the kind of game where fighting with the clunky controls took my attention away from the story/atmosphere so much that it sort of drained all of the horror out of the game and made it a chore to play. I'll probably give it another try one of these days, because it did seem to have some potential.
Oh yeah, I forgot Fatal Frame 2. Now THAT is one of the scariest games I've ever played.Seriously, the first area alone (the house with the woman ghost) spooked me to no end.
Silent Hill 1,2 were making you tense, but Fatal Frame makes you scared. before I played Fatal Frame I always thought how good is Silent Hill series, but now I think how scary is Fatal Frame series. since their aim is ''horror'' Fatal Frame is the only game truly reaches that aim. I watched those ringu ( the original ring ) and some other horror movies in midnight, like 02:00 am and I like horror theme alot, but I dont dare to play that game in midnight. dont play it in dark, midnight, its very dangerous.RE4 is action game like others said, its not scary, so out of question in horror genre, but dont misuderstand this, its great game.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It is probably the true grand-daddy of today's horror games. It did teach that zombies go well with humor (and Super Soakers)
[QUOTE=''Pvt_Murphy'']If you want a scary game, get System Shock 2 for the PC. I wouldn't classify it as a survival horror though. More like, sci-fi roleplaying shooter or something along those lines.[/QUOTE]
I agree with SS2.
Clock Tower, Silent Hill, Eternal Darkness, Siren 1-Blood Curse, Fatal Frame and System Shock 2 are the best horror games IMO.
Going by individual games - I would have to say Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame 3, Haunting Ground, Clock Tower
Silent Hill 2 and 3. 3 was probably the scariest, while 2 had the best story. RE3 scared me at times too.
Resident Evil Outbreak had its moments. Although you had tons of options for killing, it was not all action. In fact in many cases the zombies would just get back up unless you did shoot them in the head. The new ones are definitly not scary, due to amazing action sequences and the fact that your some army dude (or gal) ready to go at it.

Which SNES game has the best graphics
i choose dkc because it looks better than the other 2d games in my opinionWhich SNES game has the best graphics
I think you should expand on the list just a bit, like no F-zero? I aint voting until I feel there are more representation!Which SNES game has the best graphics
[QUOTE=''SegaGenesisfan'']I think you should expand on the list just a bit, like no F-zero? I aint voting until I feel there are more representation![/QUOTE]That was one of the earliest SNES games, graphically isn't wasn't even in the same league as the later games such as DKC series and Yoshi's Island.
For me it was the DKC games, they were amazing. I'll never forget the first time I played the original it blew me away.
yoshis island has the best graphics.
Hmm good question but I would pick donkey kong country I used to remember playing that game until I sold most of my games in order to get a Wii, god I'm idiot for doing that.
I'd choose probably Super Mario RPG because like DKC it had those 3D-like CGI graphics, but there were a few moves in the game that had pretty cool graphical effects imo.DKC had awesome graphics too though.
Super Metroid. Hands down. No ands, if's, or buts. Hands down. Guarenteed Super Metroid. Best graphics, I still play it! StarFox -was- okay, untill it reached to N64. :)
DKC
Star Fox is by far the most technically superior game on that list.
However, I'd go with Yoshi's Island for an artistic standpoint.
Super Metroid. How it isn't on that list baffles me.
For me, it's a tie between Super Metroid and Secret of Mana. Super Metroid hadan atmosphere like no other game of it's time, and Secret of Mana had, in my opinion, the deepest and most diverse graphics of the system. If I HAD to choose only one, though, I'd go with Secret of Mana.

I couldn't get passed the final boss though o_O;
Super Castlevania IV and Actraiser 2 have better graphics than the last 3 games in the poll.
I voted for Donkey Kong.
Either Seiken Densetsu 3 or Yoshi's Island I'd think.Star Fox has awful graphics... Sure, 3D graphics were novel for being on the SNES; that doesn't mean they look any less horrific.
DK
Super Metroid. From that list, Yoshi's Island.
Star Fox looked great, but hasn't aged well, whereas a nice, crisp, 2d game, looks great for a long time.
Well, I never played Starfox(but from what I've seen of the graphics, they're REALLY primitive, even though I guess it was all they could do...=/), Super Mario RPG and Yoshi's Island weren't amazing IMO and Super Mario World wasn't even very good-looking anyways...XD So I'll go with Donkey Kong Country, that game was great-looking, however overrated I think it is(it's fun and great-looking, sure, but dear god, it's not some sort of godly game...XD Same goes for most of the SNES's games, I think Streets Of Rage 2 could beat all of them...=P).
