Both good games. psx is an interesting way of referring to ps1. not shitting on it because I remember it being called that in the 90's. but since then there has actually been a psx and I guess the slim was technically the psone . lol PSX just makes me think of mountain dew commercials. wish I had one of those, the actual psx, not md, lol

@cheesystick1 The game footage is usually captured with a Sony DSR-25 deck. I have lent Dave my Sony DVMC-DA1 to capture video on his end. Both devices capture to the same codec. When capturing HD games I use a Blackmagic Intensity Pro. The Blackmagic cannot capture standard definition video games.

7:00 Bucky! That was made by some of the folks that left Konami to form the company TREASURE. That's partly why that game looks and plays and sounds so awesome. RIP Konami, the heart and souls that made your games cool are now gone. Oh well, just gotta wait for Treasure to make another game to enjoy hardcore action gaming again. Everything else, now days, plays so slow....

If I were to take requests, could we pick games that have more game in them than navigation in them. Those are exactly the kind of titles that encourage me to go back and play old games that get to the point. Just think of all the other stuff one can do, create and accomplish, with the time spent in skyrim alone. Imagine, instead of building a world in Minecraft, one could learn Maxon C4D and learn the trade for the real world.

Bucky O'Hare was also a cartoon! RC Stunt Copter is also a very underrated game and I lost dozens of hours of my life to that addictive little game. You guys always seem to dig up obscure games I've never heard of too, how about doing a show based on them? Things like Team Buddies, Markos Magic Football, Bloody Roar, Evil Zone, Eagle One - just off the top of my head. Admittedly most of those are PS1 games with the exception of MMF but there's loads more out there. Great show as always! Thanks!

One thing not mentioned about batman returns on the snes....how the level in itself is fairly easy to get through but on the boss battles the a.i suddenly shoots through the roof to ridiculously hard, plus your character has one life bar but the bosses seem to have a life bar that changes color a couple of times before you actually start to knock their life bar down making it a tad unfair.

Jumping Flash is definitely one of the best early PS1 releases. It was way ahead of its time with the use of the double jump to reach high platforms in a 3d environment. The game had that avant-garde feel to it too with its wacky art design.

I love how you guys use TV magic when you put carts into the systems. The way you used the backwards footage when closing the lid-thing on the NES at 5:30 really took me aback. It stood out like a sore thumb, despite how quick the clip was. I was just like "Whoa, what?! You can't DO that!" lol. xD EDIT: Looking closer and repeating the clip a few times, it seems that maybe you may just be using the tip of your finger leveraged against your other finger. Maybe this one's not so TV magic-y. It's still hard to tell though. I guess I'll just have to ask. Was that a reverse-played shot of you opening the NES, or was that just super slickness?

I enjoyed Jumping flash 2 a little more. It felt a little more imaginative in its theming, Its music was a bit better, and the small cutscenes were more amusing. That, plus the fact that it was probably the first 3D platformer I ever experienced in-depth. The feel blew me away, from the visual effects of diving into water to trying to jump as high as I possibly could and land on the toughest objects. One could also argue that it's one of the first games with a built-in "achievement" system.

I've heard bad things about composite capture from both the dazzle and even the hauppauge, so I don't know what to do. I don't need top quality, (you guys,) just something that won't throw audio out of sync. BTW, I will recommend you to all of my friends. Your show rocks.

Funny fact about Bucky O'Hare for the NES: it really screwed software pirates over back in the day (much like how Earthbound did in its own way). After beating the game, a password was given to unlock a hard mode that made everything a one-hit-kill on the player. If the game code found it was't being played on legitimate hardware (or early emulation), it turned this mode on by default. Makes me wonder what'll happen if I get this game and run it with the lockout chip disabled on my NES.. Hmm

@dave4shmups I bet its something to do with emulation being difficult. He said 32X for sprites and Genesis for backgrounds, so technically there is supposed to be 2 emulators and when you program a genesis emulator you have to kind of write the code in the middle of it, and make it stick out (so it feels like an actual 32X unit sticking out of Genesis.)

Funfact about Bucky, the Lead Programmer and Music Composer both left Konami and formed TREASURE. Might be why Ronald McDonald Land for SEGA GENESIS (made by Treasure) has that same tight gameplay feel as Bucky. That is why the old Konami is dead. If we are to ever see another AXELAY, CONTRA 3, or SUPER CASTLEVANIA 4, Konami will have to hire TREASURE. Kinda like how Konami hired them for Gradius V. Contra V or Castlevania V anyone?

@GatorM Actually reviewers at the time criticized the fact that the second player link mechanic slowed the gameplay down. Reviewers expected the game to be as fast as the previous sonic games and therefore it got negative reviews. The fact that the 32X was selling poorly also led to lackluster sales. Although it is a good game, it is not fondly remembered by SEGA.

Most underrated game ever in my opinion was Suikoden V for PS2. Suikoden IV felt like a betrayal to the series and as a result many series fans didn't give V a chance. It's kind of unfortunate because V went back to all the good things about the first three games. People also didn't like the slow start of V but I would argue not having that slow start would be like starting the classic story "Dune" at the betrayal of Dr. Yueh. The early character development really helps the plot later.
