Awesome, thanks so much! I just got in the mood to play some Out Run and my Sega Saturn is with my brother at the moment. Shenmue saves the day once again :)

I'd also recommend Crimson Shroud


Yeah definitely, that's one I really do want to play.

Just finished playing The legend of heroes: Trails in the sky for PSP. Anyone else played it? I'm gutted there's no confirmed release date for the second game.

My good man, there are 2 very very big fans of the game on this particular board.

I am obviously one of them, a big enough fan to have played just about all of the games in the Legend of Heroes series.

The other equally fanatical "member" is AnimeGamer, or as wel affectionatly know him AG.

Theres a Falcom thread kicking around here you should look it up. and we can talk about Tits all the good long day.

That'd be Legend of Heroes 4: Tear of Vermillion which is actually a bad port of the game (which is saying something since its still really good) For some reason Bandai released 3 The moonlight Witch, 4 Tear of Vermillion and 5 Song of the Ocean as Legend of Heroes 1,2 and 3. (They also removed sections of the games, downgraded all the music and didn't spellcheck lol)

Still its an English version of the Gharghav Trilogy (they have an overarching story) If you dug 4 you'll love 6 (which is what Trails in the sky is)

Axm, you'll be happy to know Legend of Heroes: Zero no kesiki, which is a followup to the trails in the sky series got released a little while ago, and Sen no kiseki is coming soon (and looks absolutely amazing)

Thing is like Stocke pointed out its alittle slow going when it comes to releasing them outside of Japan. We're still on the first (of three) game in the Trails in the sky series. Theres Second chapter, Third, Zero no kiseki, ao no kiseki and now Sen no kiseki and all of them are pretty important storywise so just jumping to the last one is a bad idea.

We don't tolerate reason here, stranger. Best you clear out of town come morning.

And that goes for the rest of you. Unless you have some dry bitterness to stoke our eternal orgasm of cynicism, you've got no reason to come around the internet anymore.

I will personally unofficially permaban the next person who types a single syllable that so much as squirms in the general direction of positivity.

:D A Burning Rangers sig.


Anyone know how well Night HD has done? Because the creator said if it did well they might allow a BR HD game.
I know the 360 version has sold at least 8,125 copies from looking at the Spring Vally Leaderboard.

I also played a bit of New Super mario bros 2, and I don't know why, but that game just makes me feel angry. Also, the 3D effect in that game is utterly pants, all it does is blur the background so I can't see the detail :s. I don't expect the 3D to be best shown off by a 2D game, but still the 3D seems completely unsuited to portable play, as you have to find the right angle and hold it completely still, otherwise you just get some irritating double vision effect. It's a poor gimmick, ya hear me Nintendo! It's also been out a year and there are only like 3 or 4 games out that appeal to me, which is in stark contrast to the DS.

Oh how I loved the DS, this 3D clown is just a pretender.


Well playing a 2D game is not exactly the best way to utilize and fully evaluate the 3D aspect of the console. is it? :P

Try Super Mario 3D Land - that has some great uses of 3D in it.

I just wasted a Blank CD-R by just burning one track on it: "Passing Breeze" from OutRun. I need to go for a drive.

So is anyone playing their Dreamcasts on HD TV's with a AV Cable[£5] or the VGA Adaptor for £45? Of course at that price difference i expect the adaptor to be a lot better but if the cable does more than a good enough job i might just go with that for now.

So in your opinion, which game in the series should i play next? I'm tempted to play SC in Japanese but it'll probably ruin it for me if it ever does get released in English. Another game in the series will have to do.

SC is haaaaard not only is it in kanji its written in a dialect thats hard to understand on top of that. if you can get through it power to ya but the xseed version, if it happens, will be a great translation. For now why not revisit 1-5? unless ofcourse you can't wait another year for sc, then just go for it.
