Heh at this months EGM, now with magazine scans!

Just got it today, with a special surprise: The second article about subjecting older games to young kids. Good stuff...

Anyways, here are the scans *Warning: Not Dial-up friendly

*UPDATE: Also changed the format on the other 3, so they are a bit cleaner to read up close

EGM as of late (last 1-1.5 years)=teh suck. They are a mere shadow of their former selves.

For the record, they did that feature a few years back, and it was much better. GTA=old school? Crikey, make the little bastards play Adventure! Or Custer's Revenge... :smt042 :smt083

And no, I'm not an "old school" gamer in the least, but showing them GTA from '98 isn't "old school." Crappy graphics and crappy gameplay doesn't equal old school :smt043

 

I do agree with you (The older staff before the move was better), but they are the only ones I even trust anymore with reviews (AKA: Anyone besides gamespot, IGN, Gameinformer, and so on). Yeah, I remember the origional one, and it was quite funny.

Anyways, I should have scans in a little bit.

 

Yeah, sadly we get screwed over here with crap like Gamepro, PSM, OXM and its bastard ilk. :-(

 

haha :smt043

 

retro = nostalgia ? if i remember right

 

Make them play stuff on the 32x, Sega CD, PC Engine, etc. that's retro AND cool

 

Nostalgia??...not last I checked...thats too kind...lot of retro things I doubt stir up nostalgia...retro/prefix= past, behind, ex post facto....

those kids are pretty funny.... :smt043

 

Better yet, give them all crap, like the CD-i Zelda's and Bubsy 3D!

 

not Bubsy!!!! :no

 

Man, those little shits should be electrocuted or something... No respect whatsoever. If it weren't for games like that, they wouldn't have their GTA3 or Wind Wanker or Madden CXVII Redux: Director's Cut Ad Nauseam.

Not recognizing the greatness of Gunstar Heroes? Blasphemy, off with their heads.

There needs to be a Videogame Inquisition or something.

 

Oh wow. I have fond memories of Bubsy on the SNES. Don't diss.

Gunstar Heroes? Retro? I guess age is creeping up on me.

 

Actually, I liked both Bubsy and Bubsy 2. It's just Bubsy 3D that was crappy.

 

:smt043 :smt043 :smt043

Those kids just crack me up, well at least i agree with them that zelda on the nes is better then the wind wanker :-D

 

Shallow kids... I'd like to subject them to the katana test (see Asnow's post) :die

 

I can get better quality pictures if you are interested mr. howell. I have a subscription to the digital service and can print screen those pages if you like.

 

I didn't like Gunstar Heroes myself. Kinda crappy, if you ask me.

 

I'd like to see the CNN special in 2005 they mentioned, probably miss it like everything else though

 

I got that issue in the other day. When the kids were playing Adventure one of them said,

Little punks don't appreciate good 2D games :smt043

 

At least with Adventure, everybody thought that was a duck back in the day too :smt043
