Fighters Megamix [Saturn].
Sitting down, unlocking stuff. Gonna be annoyed when my Saturn save-RAM battery dies and I have to do all this over again.
Really cool game. I love the dodging from VF3. The game is fairly pretty, with nicely smooth shaded characters.
There's a lot of slowdown on some stages though, especially with Candy/Honey's alternate outfit. One fight felt like I was doing the VF2 underwater fight with Dural half the time.
still really curious as to whether this is my Saturn in particular, some kind of overhead from using Pseudo Saturn, or something else, because I haven't seen people complaining about a lot of the slowdown I'm seeing in many games
[edit]
Also, I was playing
Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Saturn via
Sonic Jam.
god, Marble Garden still kinda sucks
loads of random crushers, those big spiked balls on the chain consistently just get me even though I know where they are and have been playing this game for like 20 years now, and then needing the drill top to proceed in certain areas is a pain in the dick
much of the platforming isn't too bad, but the level just makes some really offputting choices regarding how it handles its hazards
Sonic Jam isn't the best set of ports either, and whoever handled the sound did zero volume balancing.
so the menu music will be blaringly loud, then you go in game and it's fairly quiet, and then you use the insta-shield or use the electric shield double jump and hear this crazy loud sound effect
and then many of the sound effects are kind of different, usually for the worse -- the new boss hit noise is great and sounds really heavy, while the explosions you hear after are awful
the ring noise is shit and sounds like it was hastily run through a filter to make it sound fancier or something
the aforementioned shields have really screwy sounding SFX, ignoring the complete lack of volume balancing
it's a mess
Sonic World is cool, but the camera pisses me off really badly the entire time. Having time attack is neat, but I think it enables the "Normal" level layouts [which are easier than the "Original" ones]. Might need to double-check that, but eh. Also, the time-attack menu BGM is awful and really fucking loud.
