Old games you want back from the dead
« on: June 14, 2009, 01:58:30 AM »
Literally just now, I got Future Cop: LAPD working on a 64-bit Vista computer. That game is 11 years old and really didnt sell very well. It does have a great following though, and many who played it, love it. Personally it's one of my favourite games of all time, but obviously not everyone would agree. For a little while, I thought "Oh this isnt working on a 64-bit machine, it wont even install, I'll have to wait until it's on GOG or Steam, because it's too young for DOSBox," but it's such an unknown generally, this wasnt likely to happen any time soon, especially since EA own it. Thankfully I managed to revive my dead game, (I'm pretty sure I could hear the sky captain shouting "I LIVE AGAAAIN!" when the intro started.)
I generally see tonight as one of my best days ever (I may be a bit hyper and exaggerating things, but still tomorrow I'll probably be glad of my achievement, I'm such a geek :P )

There are plenty of games that died despite the love of its followers. Any games out there that you lot cant play anymore, that you want but either cant afford or just cant find?

Maybe this is an impulse post, but i just think it's a strange feeling when you realise that you cant play your favourite game anymore.

His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

my god...Future cop LAPD....I loved that game so much!! Where you could transform into walker, hovercar thing and something else (or was it just two, it's been like 9-10 years since I last played that game) and multiplayer, where you could get dreadnaughts and stuff in the bases
.....*Dies of nostalgia overload*


I hope you will remember me, At least say so to comfort me, You say goodbye so easily, Its now or never, It may seem really pitiful, But life became too beautiful, The pain of love unbearable, It's now or never, Gone Forever.

Honestly, I can't think of a game that can replace it. It's really different and really fun, especially in co-op and when against eachother. And it only has two transformations, walker and hover. Only problem was, I got so good at it, I would always dominate in multiplayer, but I would make last for hours, just playing around with the helicopters and flying fortresses until we agreed that I should defeat them, or until they make their own dreadnaught.

haha yeah Sky captain was awesome as well though ^^ I downloaded the demo yesterday :P Co-op was always fun. Yeah I know what you mean, I always used to dominate the others, but then I'd get cocky and lose T.T I actually just had a flood of memories just from the demo, with all the different weapons and stuff....

That's one thing, there were very few weapons that were just plain rubbish, it was all about what abilities you wanted, what style you liked. Though there was an optimal set up, I've seen people make some strange choices because that's how they played.

You know, I would say "Konami, revive Sparkster." However, how my mind thinks, it's "Careful what you wish for." I say this cause I'm worried if they tried to revive his series, they would screw it up, just like every other series staring furries have been screwed up. The only one that still makes decent games is Klonoa. Other than him, most furry games are either mediocre, like most Sonic the Hedgehog games nowadays, or really horrible, like Crash Bandicoot: CotT and MoM.

Besides, they did use Sparkster recently in a DS Olympics game, but that game was rubbish, so it doesn't count. I mean a true revival. But I'm worried that either A: It will never happen, or B: It will happen, but it will suck.

Well there's still Ratchet and Clank, and Banjo Kazooie (he may have past his prime but his latest game is far from bad)

But yeah a new sparkster game would be fun. surprisingly, I dont play that many furry games, but then most of the games I like are first person. A first person furry game would be awesome... oh wait, that was oblivion... that was alright.

Other game series I would want sequals of that will never come are Dungeon Keeper and Freespace. I also want a new Mechwarrior game, but there's a mod on the horizon with the blessing of Microsoft, so I'm very happy with that, especially since it uses the Cryengine2

One game I want back.....hm....oh, Primal Instinct! :D

Is Ratchet a furry? I knew he was kind of a wierd looking character, but I didn't know he was a furry. What kind of animal is he?

Whilst Ratchet is an Anthropomorphic character, he doesn't have a specific animal associated with him as far as I know as he is of the fictional Lombax species. As humanoid dragons are still scalies I assume fictional/mythical anthros also count as furries
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.
