I thought Karnov was that Russian Chess master, but that was Karpov. Too bad. I wanted a muscle-bound brute to represent a chess master in video games.
I want to see him take on a dinosaur too.
I was just watching my friend play this on Xbox One last weekend. He was just shoving players to the ground with no fouls called. I should get this remake for sure. We used to play the original all the time back in the 90s.
I love the haystacks. I sit in there and become a deadly, man gobbling haystack of doom. You can just wait in there and assassinate anyone who walks by and then stow the body in the stack where no one can see. It's like the haystack is a life form. haha
There is a Volume 2 and a PSP version called Power-Up. My recent favorite on those collections is Lunar Rescue.
Yeah, it goes for something like $100 on ebay. I got it years ago in a Gamestop for probably under $20.
I guess Chess is the ur-RPG. I just wanted to use the prefix "ur" in a sentence. Ever read Samuel Donaldson's Thomas Covenant fantasy series. He uses "ur" a lot in those books.
You would have to remind me of Dragon Magazine. I really love those. Now I want to collect them again.
Great theme. I'm on board.
I remember being intrigued by one of the NCAA games being compatible with Madden so that you could take a customized player from college to the pros.
What's with that strange blue dino with Spider-Man's head and a creature riding on its tale in the foreground of that picture? haha
It's funny how a game series can only be known in one country. It seems nowadays that happens less.
You talk to Gemini a lot in the early part of the game and you meet her horse in her apartment. Haha. I'm on a mission right now to take a photograph that will be her background for her portrait in the Review's advertising.
I'm liking Subaru right now, although, the dialog questions come up so fast, I'm probably making friends with everyone except maybe Cheiron, who is hard to get along with anyway. Subaru is androgenous and hyper-rational. She's infuriating at times but she's interesting to me because she's so secretive. I generally can make linking attacks with her in battle mode because, I guess, I've answered to her satisfaction in the story portion of the game.
I like those arcade cabinets with the periscope controllers.
