Dont really remember this game too well now, but I have strong negative emotions tied to this game. All I remember is renting it once and immediately bringing it back for another game.

>>2897978
either way you would've missed out on games
>>
>>2897969
I only had a Genesis as a kid, I did have a Game Boy pretty early on but my first Nintendo console was the N64. I guess it would have been cool to have a SNES as a kid but I don't think I missed out too much because I can play all the games I missed anyway. And I definitely wouldn't have traded my Genesis for it, because I have so many good memories with the Sonic games.

My friend back in elementary school hyped this game to me saying you could plays as all these different monsters and do all this crazy shit and the gullible little dumbshit me believed him. So I drop $20 on the game, which is a lot of money for a kid, and I'm extremely disappointed. So I call him out on his bullshit.

>Oh. That must be on the Genesis version.

dk64 gotta be the worst dk game by far. sold my super Nintendo with a copy of mega man x2 for like 50 bucks to my aunt. tried to hunt it down years later. she lost it/sold it/who gives a fuck im never getting that back.

I bought it for $10 "ironically" because I was in my ebin memer phase.

The worst part is that it was clearly made by people who genuinely loved Shrek, but weren't competent enough to program a fighting game.

"I was in my ebin memer phase"

The whole Shrek thing isn't any older than four years, and it only caught on in late 2012/early 2013. You must be either young, stupid, or both.

meme aside
i legit bought this.

It was the first game i bought for myself with money i earned. Before that my sis chose all games
I never even cared for superman before, but i thought flying around with his powers would be fun. I was so excited too. Got dropped off at the mall, went to a store (called Babbages or EB Games; i forget but one name bought the other at some point)
got home, so stoked, popped it in, and played about 20 min
Flying was awkward and slow. You go thru rings in the sky. I figured it would start with a tutorial thing, but after a bit i realized that was the game.
A hot wave of guilt and anxiety hit my chest. I realized in an instant moment that it was a bad game, and that it was too boring to continue, and that i wasted my money. It was so expensive and took me a long time to earn that cash doing things. Coulda spent it elsewhere for something better.. Felt awful.
Brought it back the next day and just cuz i opened it, i could only sell it back for like $5 or something.. I did, feeling a small bit of relief that i didnt eat the whole cost and that i was finally rid of that cursed object..

it's so bad
>>
>>2897978
I've actually grown up with a PSX instead of N64 and wish it could've been the other way. There are just so many fun, vibrant games for the N64, and as a female in gaming it was disconcerting to play the likes of Tomb Raider and DoA when I was yearning for something more akin to my tastes.
>>
>>2897978
I can't say I feel the same, all of my friends had N64 too and we played tons of multiplayer. Mario Party, Kart, Tennis, Smash Bros, and Goldeneye are fond memories and still hold up quite well in recent playthroughs (though I am totally awful at kart now)

For me it's not buying more SNES/Genesis stuff back when it was heavily discounted as 1997 rolled in and it was going out the window. Sure, my bro and I got mario RPG for like 7 bucks, but we could have had a stack of SNES and Genesis brand-new and now sold them for 10 times what they cost then. Not to mention the other expensive RPGS we passed up brand-new in that bargain bin as we dug out Mario RPG. I'm not a fan of such games, so i'd be happy to profit off of them now and buy something I like instead.
>>
>>2898034
This but for many good game boy games.

That was my second SNES game, and I still really like it. Can value your opinion but that was a pretty solid, fun game in my opinion.

see, stories like this one here are where i hate the employees for not being honest or simply being ignorant/oblivious... if i was working at a retail outlet and see a kid spending his own money for a game i know is shitty, i'd let him know the game is shit and recommend something else. if he insists, that's on him. he was warned.

Mine was RAMPAGE. Beat the game the day we bought it (probably cost like $45 in the 80's which is a lot more now). I eventually traded it for a Chinese 4-in-1 cart and was pleased.

I bought the genesis version based solely on how bad that game was. The most fun I ever had was playing it and Jurassic Park while tripping and laughing our asses off at the digitized graphics/sound.

I mean holy shit those jpegs are bad.

It's Road Rash, on rollerblades with an awesome grunge soundtrack. Clearly you're at fault here and not the game.

Jurassic Park: The Chaos Continues is kind of cool. They basically just made Metal Slug + Dinosaurs (two years before Metal Slug even came out).
>>
>>2900195
I'm talking about the genesis version. I remember chaos continues having really REALLY good visuals and sound.

The dinosaur sprites in the genesis version are so damn funny though. Standing on the back of the triceratops in the opening just totally broke us.
>>
>>2897978
I felt this way about picking Genesis over snes, I mean I enjoyed the Genesis but so many classics on snes, especially the rpgs.

I chose wisely with the psx.
