Yeah the first two FNM records really are great, I've found myself going back to them a lot in recent years. Totally different band really, but you're right, his style was really unique and a good fit.

Yeah it's a good game, and one I always pull out when people say there are no good games available on phones. I played it on Android and don't think the experience was any lesser than playing it on console or PC. Actually the tactile nature of the puzzles really leant itself to touchscreen.

Poor old Chuck he played a tiny gig in a pub down the road from me months before he died. Shame.

We finally got around to watching Chernobyl. Very good. Very bleak. Hard to imagine something like that happening, and the way the Russians tried to cover it up to the world.

Rogue Aces does look exactly like an updated version of that Wings Of Fury, but I was sure the game I was thinking of began with or had 'Aero' as part of the title. I thought it was more about doing tricks and stuff rather than shooting stuff, but Google hasn't proved fruitful in my search. I really...

Did they say which platforms? I enjoyed the bit of Death Smiles 1 I played on MAME. It's the one where you can fire left and right, yeah?

I was looking through my PS4 download list earlier and came across a game called Rogue Aces . Never heard of it, but it must have been on PS+ at some point. Curious, I downloaded it. Its really fun! 2D side on plane game, not really a shmup because you have full 360 control of the plane, but it's li...

You could definitely do that in the earlier Gran Turismo games. It's only really the recent ones that focus on supercars. I remember Forza Motorsport 2 on the 360 being good for that, too. I bought a clapped out Lancia and turboed the shit out of it, and painted a massive Pacman on the side. I used ...

Yeah I played some of that Full Blast this morning. I didn't really like it. It wasn't offensively bad, just boring. I only played a couple of levels and got about six trophies!

Llamasoft documentary goes live on Kickstarter: https://www.hardcoregamer.com/2019/09/13/llamasoft-documentary-heart-of-neon-goes-live-on-kickstarter/357373/ Should be pretty interesting. Jeff Minter is an absolute gaming legend, his psychadelic shooters have captivated people for decades, and I'm s...

I'm saying nowt. I'll be the one who gets my wrists slapped either way. I'm a good girl.

It's ok not to like something. It's the three paragraphs of superfluous, hyperactive gibberish afterwards that spoils any valid point you might be trying to make.

R-type looks slow and dull to me

Well it might not bear much resemblance to the modern bullet hell shooters you're used to playing, but it's a fantastic game. Hard as nails and the powerups are amazing. Love that game, and remember it's 32 years old!

All I'm saying is that playing traditional shmups on a touchpad is the equivalent of playing darts while wearing boxing gloves. It's never going to work properly and whoever is claiming otherwise is either severely misinformed or straight up lying to you. I've played a few. The iPhone had loads of ...

No worries, wasn't looking to sell anything, just wondered if there were particular titles you were still hoping to add to your collection.

I don't suppose you'd have any duplicate of non-shovelware titles in that pile? There are still two or three GameCube games I'm looking for and that second hand market isn't messing around!

What you looking for?

Yeah, but I won't let my kids watch TV or play on tablets in bed, either. Haha.

I am going to bed, and will spend the next two hours playing Super Metroid. I have never played it before and am excited to get in to it. Will report back. Goodnight.

I've loved the series so far. Only played Zero and the remakes of the first and second game, but it's already one of my favorite series. Kiwami 1 is a little drop in quality from Zero, but Kiwami 2 was even better in my opinion, just a brilliant story and loads of stuff to do. I'm a little concerned...

Yeah, this is wank. It feels like some kid knocked it up while watching Netflix. Dull as fuck. Uninspiring enemies. Empty backdrops. It feels so budget it hurts. It makes Overdriven feel like Crimzon Clover. Unsatisfying and I get why Ksub references Sky Forces now too. Even at £1.69 it’s a waste o...

Yeah I read that and really want to play it. As for the SNES games, there doesn't seem to be a terrible one among them. Even the football game was fun enough to play a few matches. I've been browsing lists ranking all the games, and consistently Brawl Brothers comes near the bottom - I really enjoye...
