I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home.(lemmy.world)

Holy crap that’s Bad Street Brawler. I have this game still. It’s straight up the worst game I’ve ever played.

I’ve just played the first level on a Spectrum emulator.

I have no real wish to play the second.

To think all you had to do was wait 2 more years for River City Ransom to come out. If only precognition was real.

The “actual game” looks like a Altered Beast that takes place in a US park.

I’m reading this game’s wikipedia page and it sounds very fun. What a shame it’s stuck on the game gear and the now nonexistant 3ds eshop. I hope Sega does another re-release. Not that it matters to me 🏴‍☠️.

My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I’ve ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

10s of MB software with the rest of the disc as CD audio was standard for the time.

Even with those constraints PS had noticeable mid-battle lag as it loaded in animationss.
