    Love these recommendations! FYI Victory Heat Rally opens with the slogan "Go for Number 1" which ain't Outrun, it's a quote from the announcer in Sega's Power Drift. The game is heavily inspired by it right down to the screen tilting
    And if you never played Power Drift I strongly encourage you all to do so.

    I've always loved Ikaruga. It's by the studio Treasure and can't be beat for a shoot em up. Interesting dynamic where bullets come in two colors, white and black. You can flip the color of your ship back and forth between black and white as well. If you are the same color as the bullet, it fills a meter to unleash a powerful beam. If you are the opposite color of a ship, you do double the damage. Along with that, to increase your score, you keep a combo going by hitting groups of three of the same color. Fun game, but really hard.

    • @Video_Games_Forever
      @Video_Games_Forever  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh yeah, I know the game well! I love Treasure's games. I still dig out Sin and Punishment on the Wii, and Gunstar Heroes on the Mega Drive. The artwork and design is always amazing.

    Thanks mate,
    Sine Mora EX is just $5.30 here in Australia on Series X for one more day. I had skipped over it as I already had the 360 version and thought they were the same thing. I appreciate the explanation and bought it straight away.
    I am not currently touching Giga Bash at $35 here though lol
    Unfortunately without being on sale games are not worth the money here in Australia as we get ripped off due to exchange rate even though itKs just a digital code to begin with.
    For that reason lately I generally just collect original Xbox and 360 games where there are some real gems and bargains to find in the second hand physical space.
    Such as a total of $14 for both Tenchu Z on 360 and Tench Return from Darkness on original Xbox.

    • @Video_Games_Forever
      @Video_Games_Forever  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ello mate! Thanks for getting in touch, and I'm glad you managed to get at least one discount in time!
      When it comes to prices, there's definitely a sense of 'let's see what we can get away with' in certain territories. There have been plenty of examples here in the UK where digital games, in particular, have been £70, when the US price is $70 - that's a mark-up of about £14 ($17.50) for each and every gamer here at current rates.
      On the other hand, most games do tend to depreciate quite quickly, and a big part of why I set up this channel is to try and find a few hidden bargains, old and new, so I hope I can find you some more.
      I still play my 360 a fair bit - NBA Homecourt, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Renegade Ops - and a really rapid quad bike racer called Nail'd is worth a look if you like your arcade games.
      Anyway, enjoy Sine Mora EX for now - and thanks for watching!

      @@Zirus_Blackheart Championship Edition 2 has more options for speed and maze size in certain modes. You also have the ghost 'trains' that make for those long and satisfying chomps for a ton of score, in addition to the limited-use bombs and jumps.
      The CE2 Adventure Mode is good fun - and eventually quite tough - with three stars available for each varied challenge. You need a certain number of stars to progress through each tier and it's a good way of learning all the new stuff and extending the life of the game beyond the basic format.
      Ultimately, If all you want is Pac-Man that looks good, I'd go for the first game. But if you've been playing it for about 40 years, as I have, it's nice to have the extras featured in CE2, in my opinion.
