I reeeaaaally want to break out my Super Nintendo and my cousins' Sega and play F-Zero and Sonic 1+2+3 right now. Those games have the best midi music ever, and they were my favorites for those consoles. I have like three-hour long listening parties of that stuff while doing homework probably twice a month, which is a lot when it's freaking midi music from video games (that are AWESOME, but still; I really miss the simple games that still managed to be hard that were abundant with those systems. Sonic games and the Zelda for SNES weren't exactly easy).
Too bad one doesn't exist anymore (at least, I don't think they've kept it for so long), and the other is in a huge box in my room with all the games. I'm totally taking it out over break.
o i agree about the complexity of games now a days. the new NHL ones are crazy. i remember when it was a=pass b=shoot c=check. i tried playing NHL 10. good game but theres a lot bigger learning curve then what was on NHL Hitz 7 years ago.
anyway, if you have a PS2, playstation came out with the Sega Mega Collection. it has every Sonic game, plus other random Sega games. the best part...for sonic all 4 buttons do the same thing like the original.
as for the midi music, in game, cool. out of game...not so much
I have serious problems with hockey video games. I don't care how good they get at graphics, at making the skating and shooting motions life-like, at animating unique goal celebrations or at rendering actual hockey players. Until they can create a game where the gameplay even remotely resembles real hockey, I won't be satisfied.
When you can play these games and have your players make tape to tape passes 100% of the time, or retrieve pucks winging around the boards 100% of the time, or have a player going hard into the boards make a perfect, no-look, behind-the-back pass to a teammate, it just isn't realistic. I want to see bouncing pucks, bad passes, deteriorating ice, and players making moves that any non-omnipotent player might make.
