I remember being a kid and seeing it in stores and wanting to play it cause the artwork was sick.

But were we a nintendo family :pensive:

I was reluctantly team Sega until the original PlayStation came out. I actually had a Nintendo originally but my parents traded it for a Sega without even asking my sister or I if it was okay.

When the Saturn and PSOne were announced my parents asked me which one I wanted and I told them PlayStation.

Same thing when the Dreamcast and PS2 were announced

In hindsight Theres days I wish I had chosen DC over PS2 cause early teens was when I was starting to dip my toes into the FGC. Having a DC home I think would have helped me significantly. I didn’t even know there was a home port of MvC2, 3S or CvS2 until their PS2 ports happened. Real talk. :joy:

Before the PS2 ports The only times I got to play fighters and learn them was when I would go arcade hopping or to tournaments.

I hated my Playstation at first cuz my mom picked the worst games, or maybe it had a weak launch lineup, idk.

I legit got my money’s worth out of every console I’ve owned except the Saturn (which I still liked). My only regrets where the handheld systems

But even as a kid, I knew Virtual Boy was ass, the first system I told my mom NOT to get

I eventually got a Saturn but it was only for XvSF. Lol. We did 8-man round robins at our arcade a lot for it. So I’d practice at home.

The look on people’s faces when I busted out zangiefs infinite for the first time was as good as gold.

I had trash Saturn games, only good ones I owned were Nights, Virtua Cop and Sonic 3D Blast (oh and Revolution X lol)

Virtua Cop was so god damn good. So was Die Hard Arcade. Nights was visually stunning for its time and it’s OST is chill as fuck

One Saturn game I never got to beat was Astal. Played that shit at my cousins house and was blown away by how good it looked. It’s what made me get a Saturn but I could NEVER find a copy when I finally bought the console

I thought it was a solid title, sue me. Music was great, Sonic controlled fine and it was fairly challenging

THAT GAME IS AMAZING. I used to ride my bike to my local movie theater growing up just to play it. There’s a barcade here that has it, played through it recently. Holds up.
Underrated for sure

Winback: Covert Operations on the N64 and I think PS2 is very underrated for it’s time. It had the best cover system mechanics until Gears of War did it better and a dumb but fun action movie plot.

I Winback the game that seemed like a Metal Gear ripoff? I have not actually played it, I just used to see it in gaming magazines and it seemed similar
