Support NeoGAF

[Three]

Now what was funny about this manual wasn't the fact that it looked like it was typed up in MS Word, or the characters that might be considered stereotyping today, but the credits. The credits for a ubisoft game that could fit on an A6 piece of paper. I do sometimes wonder how they support so many devs now.

This shows how a small team produced a videogame those days compared to the credits of current games...

That game was fun as shit.
Especially the battle arena.
I've gotten headaches from lmao soo hard.

Some of them are even listed twice on this small list. I wonder if Chris and Tony West were brothers.

 

[Arcadialane]

We need to bring back manuals.

The battle arena was amazing 4 player splitscreen with a multitap. The Rocket league type football mode was fun too.

 

[MarkyG]

Loved Street Racer back in the day. Rip roaring split screen fun!

 

[The Stig]

[Moses85]

The more important question must be..

WHERE is the game?

Yeah it pretty much was.

Games were pretty basic back in the day.

Games were pretty basic back in the day.

hated like 99% of them because of that, i wanted to move into the future so much to see full fletched 3D worlds with lots of stuff to do. Now its the future, aint time for that shit

Compared to "thanks for the £70
here's an empty map, entertain yourselves with your mates"

I agree with the stereotyping thing. I'm a previously deceased, reanimated green conglomeration of body parts that belonged to my home village's criminals, and I gotta tell you, I don't drive. Nice going, Ubisoft. You've lost this (these?) customers.

As opposed to:

“Here’s like 2-3 hours of content sharing about 50 assets that we made incredibly difficult so you didn’t complete it the same day.”

Back then...yeah
But I like stuff like Flashback, I loved Desert Strike series.

Not sure if I prefer the Mega Drive cover though

It was also on the PSX

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Back then...yeah
But I like stuff like Flashback, I loved Desert Strike series.

Yeah, those two games were incredibly rudimentary too, you could complete Flashback in around an hour, and Desert Strike was just a big brown square with some sprites dotted around.

I love those games, they hold a fond place in my heart. But don’t get it twisted like games are a rip off nowadays.

You get A LOT more bang for your buck than you used to.

 

[Fuz]

We need to bring back manuals.

And cardboard boxes.

Then back in the 90's?
Yeah absolutely.
Content and quality increased dramatically in the 32-bit era and it rocketed with PS2/GCN/XBOX and kinda leveled with the generation after until they started doing the season pass which gives you stuff that you literally just unlocked by playing a generation ago.
Fighting games are worse, multiple season passes each with 4 characters for between £15/£25 for games that the originals had 18 unlockable characters by just beating the game under conditions.

Street Racer was amazing. Biff was the man
