Mario Golf is out now

[OB1]

If you'd been paying attention earlier you'd have noticed that I did say that Wing Commander is the least simlike space sim I can think of. So unlike pretty much the rest of the genre you have a case with it. I said that... you ignored it, but I said it.

Now... how about this. What about the rest of those games I listed as space sims? Would you call the rest of the space sim genre 'action games'? That I'd definitely have an issue with... but Wing Commander, I admit, is about as close the genre gets to action games.

I'd say now Wing Commander is a cross between a hard space sim and an action space flying game (Rogue Squadron, Starfighter...), so it might belong in both genres. Earlier on, anyway. By the later games in the series (Prophecy), and Starlancer, its a true space sim and not an action game anymore.

Wing Commander is the bridge between the regular action shooter and the space sim, so yes there is a similarity there.

The three best racing games on N64 are Rush 2049, F-Zero X, and Wipeout 64. The order I'm not sure of, but the contents I am. Ever since the first ten minuites of playing Rush 2049 I knew it was in the company of the two games I'd been considering (since I got F-Zero) the best racers on the system... since then I have switched the order of those three sometimes (at one point I said Wipeout was better than F-Zero...), but they are, IMO, clearly the best three racing games on the system.

Number four? Probably Excitebike 64.

Feel free to disagree, but that's my opinion.

As for Rush 2049... I just love that game so much. The gameplay, the music (that game has great music! My favorite track is the first stunt song... from the first two stunt tracks. That song's great...), how its still so much fun to play on a weekly basis 2 1/2 years later...

Hey I'm fine with it being your opinion and everything but you know, you suck.

Now I feel like playing the stunt mode in Rush 2049.

I'd call them tank shells, not missiles.

Or green dots, actually.

And I wasn't comparing Battlezone to the whole of Mario Kart, just battle mode! As I said!

Sure, the similarities are very, very thin... probably less than Gradius and Wing Commander. But there is SOMETHING.

Oy, this is getting nowhere.

That is how you interpreted it, but it really isn't true.

:bang:

And so was I...

Then I am right.

Yeah, I thought so... wasn't the PSX '94 in Japan?

I think so.

The moron who runs the plinko hub banned me for no reason, but I'm still on the three other hubs I use sometimes.

Also, the Plinko hub is private now, so you've got to go to the plinko forum and PM/email the guy who runs it a username and password...

Ugh, screw it.
