Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: N64: KarugaKids Review

@BLUEVOODU
It has been a while. That was back when I was going through 16 different fighters on the N64. I was thinking recently about pulling out some of those old fighters. I have Dinosaur Planet in my N64 right now. Dinosaur Planet is a cancelled game developed by Rare and set to be published by Nintendo, planned for release on the Nintendo 64, but later intended for the Nintendo GameCube instead. It was worked on for a couple more years then released on the GameCube as Star Fox Adventures.

General Discussion / Re: What gaming related trends...

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 30, 2025, 12:50:51 PM

I think for me... games that took a ton of time fell off the map.  IE games that took a long time to complete, grind through for whatever reason, and those where it takes a ton of time to master.   I know some people have the ability to just to play games and games and more games, it's just not like that for me these days.

I accepted that I suck at video games and I had to swap between the easiest and second easiest difficulties. Campaign was relatively enjoyable after that.

LOL @mastermario  - this is one game that I have that's still sealed.  It's that bad?  Sniper elite 5 is pretty hard on medium difficulty if you're trying to 100% it.  I cannot imagine how hard authentic is.   Compared to Sniper Elite 4, they really upped the difficulty... but will still platinum SE5.

used to buy games that were critic darlings (Heavy Rain and Hades for example) when they were on sale because surely if so many people love it, I will love it (obviously that is not true at all lol).

@Mai Valentine I hear you on this.  I stopped doing this as well... plus stopped buying games that are just going to sit.  I think we counted 20 unopened Nintendo Switch games... and that was AFTER I got the Switch 2 and opened many of the unopened games thinking "oh... I'll get to this."  Nope.  But at least they are installed LOL.   I have also stopped buying "I think I want to play this" titles as well... IE many of the Nintendo titles.  I broke this rule in the last half of 2025 though...

General Discussion / A Minecraft Movie

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 30, 2025, 10:26:34 AM

Yet another video game movie... the "A Minecraft Movie" was another entry into the video game made movie trend.  We watched this the other day on Prime and it was a pretty decent movie.  It's not mind blowing... and it has Jack Black's typical antics. The interaction between Jack Black and Jason Momoa is pretty hilarious at times.  I theorize this is called "A Minecraft Movie" because it is a story line that could be in MineCraft ... however, there are "boss" type characters that do not exist in the game.

Has anyone checked out this movie?  What are your thoughts?  I would say it's worth a view at the minimum... it also has a decent message of relying on each other across generations and value / worth being in each generation - at least that's what it seems like.

Post it up!

...How many units of Turbo Graphx actually exist in the U.S?

That is a great question.  Upon googling... there seems to be a lot of conflicting information.   One source says 2.6 million units between the Express, Turbo Grafx 16, Turbo CD and Turbo Duo -  basically all variants.  Others state 300k Turbo Grafx 16's sold in the US but 750k were produced... if I read that right.

@retro junkie -- do you have more accurate numbers and history on this?

@BLUEVOODU this past week I was playing Air Zonk, Blazing Lazers, and Coryoon: Child of Dragon. All Shmups.

NICE!   Air Zonk and Blazing Lazers.... GREAT games!  It's been a long time since I have played those.  How far did you make it on Blazing Lazers?  I am not aware of Coryoon: Child of Dragon.  It looks like a cute em up like @targetrasp mentioned LOL.  How is the game?
