Gallery: PlayStation RPG/SRPG Library+

Posted on December 23, 2011 by geelw

I shot these earlier this year while moving some things around. Not my entire PS1 collection by a long shot, but that’s going to be photographed and posted in a bit. I sold off a huge chunk of it over this year and last (about 110 – 120 games) but I hung onto stuff I like or haven’t quite completed yet. I still think that some of these games need proper remakes or sequels in the future, but I doubt they’ll get done any time soon if at all. BTW, my copy of FF8 somehow disappeared a while back, but I think I may have accidentally sent someone it as a bonus by mistake. Oh well. Not like it’s rare or anything. I’ll probably post my US and Japanese demo disc libraries before the rest of the US games I have, as the demos are easier to get to. Anyway, enjoy – more to come!

Escape Plan: A Look At The Vita’s Stylish Noir Puzzle/Adventure

Posted on December 23, 2011 by geelw

From the always informative PlayStation Blog, check out this nice slice of info on one of the Vita’s most intriguing US launch window games. I love these types of cool visual experiments and I’m hoping the game catches on with as many people as possible so the developers can expand this into something bigger and better.

Gallery: Atari Lynx & Jaguar Libraries

Posted on December 23, 2011 by geelw

Hmmm. I’m missing a bunch of Lynx stuff here (commons like S.T.U.N. Runner, Hard Drivin’ and a few others) as well as some manuals. But I think I may have sold off a bunch of games a few years back thinking I’d replace them at some point. The manuals for most of the loose cards are most likely in one of the bins here packed with assorted game stuff, but it’s going to take time to get through all that stuff. As for the Jaguar games, I had a few more as well and I found my Cybermorph manual after I took the photo, but I can’t locate the cart. I need another Jaguar anyway, as I sold one to a guy in Japan about nine or so years back and the other one I was planning to buy got snapped up before I could get to it. Anyway, Alien vs. Predator is still the best overall game on the platform, but I also like Tempest 2000, Power Drive Rally, Iron Soldier, Super Burnout and for some crazy reason, Hover Strike. I always wanted to try Towers II: Plight of the Stargazer for the Jag, as I found the PC version for a buck on closeout and while I hated the controls, the game was a pretty interesting RPG. I’d played the Game Boy Color Towers game (which was pretty cool) some years back and it actually “feels” better than the PC game did in terms of navigation.
