Re: Obscure Games.
Thanks, as always, to those that have contributed; The list is awesome! Here's another: Headhunter (PS2) http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/4510/534931front.jpg Doomed on the Dreamcast for most, Acclaim was nice enough to quickly and dirtily port this title to the PS2.

Re: Current Status (4/26/09): 1 Bug Till Beta
try ebay again. I got mine this year from there! (<- see how I don't need to fizzle the doozle anymore!) I watched eBay for a while, and I got an amazing deal on a "THE BEST" version. I was also quite lucky to have 87th offer me an original version a long time ago. (That, too, was quite a...

Re: Obscure Games.
Finally, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but half of the games mentioned in this thread aren't "obscure". Hahaha, that might be true, but the mission of this topic is a bit easier to stomach. For us computer people, proficient in IGN-isms and emulation, these games may be fairly w...

Re: Awesome Custom Cover Art for Snatcher!
I'm not one for fan works, and this is why. I don't mean to be antagonistic, but I don't find anything appealing about either of the two presented boxarts. Neither is faithful nor visually appealing.
That's just me, though.

Re: The "How I got my copy" thread.
For me, I had acquired a Sega CD (Version 2) and wanted to expand the library with the best of the best. I found an eBay auction for an ex-rental for $40. Realizing it's about $20 less than the going price (at the time), I jumped at it. The game came with the case, but only the front insert. Though ...

Hahaha, forgive me, then; When I see you (Marc) stating things like "For real" and "Oh, fuck," I figure it's a display of anger. My error. As for pSX, I think it's great you were able to get a hold of one of the developers. It really does sound like an issue on the emulator's end...

I think about every 3 or so pages, I break down and have an odd moment involving poorly-injected Internet humor.

What a nice report to have a lunch break to. Thank you, as always, Slowbeef. Take your time, team; We've been waiting about 10 years for the game and 5 for the hack. For us, another few months is an easy proposition.

Grandia is an RPG that existed during the Sega Saturn era, and, like Snatcher, almost didn't make it outside Japan. Luckily, the Japanese original was ported...

Thank you, as always, for keeping us so up-to-date. Your dedication is very much appreciated, and, though I prefer pSX, I'll definitely be switching to ePSXe for Policenauts. (It will be nice to have the Mouse support, as well.) Hopefully, you and the team aren't getting too stressed over this issue...

And double-posting. EDIT: New Page, you ruined the effectiveness of my post. To avoid becoming a nuisance, I'll also mention that I've got an Obscure Games topic going on in General Gaming. I encourage conversation and contributions. (After all, didn't obscure games bring us here in the first place?)

Re: Obscure Games.
Very nice assortment of games, Spencer! Despite being a fan of Clover's work, I've always written off God Hand. However, I've noticed that several people seem to stand by the game adamantly. I suppose, even just to honor Clover's memory, I should give the game a look. Ah, yes, I have more: Keio Flyi...

Re: Obscure Games.
Initially, I didn't give Threads of Fate much of a chance due to Chrono Cross. (I believe Legend of Mana was released around the same time, as well.) I did eventually acquire my own retail copy of Threads of Fate, but I didn't play very far into it before switching to something else. Perhaps I shoul...

Re: Obscure Games.
Excellent entries so far - I should give Last Express a try. I love the entries that have such passionate summaries, wherein the poster is truly amazed by how little exposure the game(s) in question received. Here are more of my favorites: Fear Effect / Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix http://img136.image...

I love this forum.

It's refreshing to be among people that can articulate. I digress. I have pulled away fro...

Re: Silent Hill?
I place the original Silent Hill among my best games of all time. Silent Hill 2 is well above excellent on its own merits, though I believe the original to be the stronger of the two. On the plus side, both keep the Silent Hill mythos intact. I never finished Silent Hill 3, though it was appropriate...

I have to say, 9 bugs is horribly exciting, and seeing the topic title change again is a very nice bonus, In fact, it reminds me again of how much things have changed here.

Re: Current Project Status (1/14/09): Alpha Testing
Excellent decision on the paint program. PAINT.NET is far superior to GIMP; I recall my first time using GIMP, an error screen appeared and stated that "bad things will happen soon." GIMP may be free, but it aggressively defines the "get what you pay for" adage. That's not always...

Interesting story. Believe me, my friend, you've been more than just a new set of eyes. I myself was coming here faithfully on an almost daily basis until about a year and a half ago. (I remember the days when the project's "hub" consisted of a single side page on Junker HQ.) Since my care...

I'll try and check in more often then that, my friend. In the meantime, your hard work is appreciated heavily - I recall the year the project was stagnated. That was rough, and the board felt the pain quite badly. Now, it's a comfortable wait thanks to those progress reports, and we're all anticipat...
