Questions?

Yeah we're gonna roll with bi-weekly. Looks like these will be posting on Friday mornings.

Thanks burgerchamp!

1. Before the onset of emulation, what was your gaming grail? What game did you see in Nintendo Power/EGM/Gamepro, and HAVE to have (even though you never got it)? 2. What was your hometown gaming scene like growing up (pharmacy rental games, outlet mall budget games, etc.)? 3. What is a game or series that is generally derided by players and critics that you have a soft spot for, and vice versa?

I would look to podcasts like Talking simpsons or Bonfireside chat (any of the WoFF Podcasts really) Format wise they tend to have a bi-weekly guest situation and focus on a theme per epp.

Thanks Megabyte!

What are some games that you would recommend to newcomers in a given genre on the SNES? As an example would you recommend Chrono Trigger and/or Final Fantasy IV for people interested in JRPGs? (I know the answer to that question is obvious)

Thanks Robert!

Were you a Nintendo fanboy, and what did you think of the Genesis?

Don't get me started on cheapest AI, ugh. Thank you Paul!

What were the biggest missed opportunities in hindsight? (for developers or consoles) What modern games would have worked as a 16-bit game during the era, and which seem like they would work but really wouldn't? Which fighting games had the cheapest AI to fight against?

Fantastic! Thank you Dan!

I have a few: Which old games deserve a remake? Which games should never have a remake? Which video game should be made into a movie/series? Which old movie/show should be made into a modern game?

Hmmm interesting thought. In fact this could probably be an eventual video. Thank you Ryan!

Thanks D.A.!

I've always like the idea of mixing retro games with modern context, e.g.: - How would online multiplayer impact / benefit X game? - Looking back on X system's library, which game do you most regret missing as a kid? - How does the intricate story of X game reflect its time? How does it resonate today? - Which game on X system felt most like a modern big-budget / AAA title?

What are the hardest SNES RPGs you've ever played?

I've definitely got an answer in mind for this one, thanks

Robert! Thanks man, these are great

I think given the nature of how video game rentals went back in the day you could get into some questions like "what was your most significant/ memorable experience with a rented game?". What was your biggest surprise when playing a game for the first time?

3 that randomly come to mind instantly: (damnit, can’t hit return on mobile ,apparently, so bear with me). 1. What’s your favorite Final Fantasy game? 2. What’s the worst game that you for whatever reason played a ton of? 3. What’s your favorite tactics or strategy game?

Robert Ring

OUCH, that sucks. I do have my own story though

Ohhhhh this is good, thank you!

Thank you!

What's the worst natural/household disaster to ever happen to your retro consoles/games? When I was a kid, we had pipes leak directly onto my SNES. I remember taking out Super Metroid and gaping in horror at all the water coming out of the cartridge slot when I turned the system upside down while holding the eject button. The system and the game survived and lasted for years after.

What's the most progress you lost in a rented game because someone else rented it and erased your save

What games have the worst/best voice acting?
