It's strange 'cause of the same actuall reason you've cited aka. snes never was cheap child toy in our country. But Sega was. I mean, it costed me 100 hrivna
yes, I wasn't. but as I thought, it's also a matter of time. Because the last time I was interested in the price of a cartridge (a chinese pirated one, of course) for the NES, it still cost that much:
Well, as I said, my family didn't have money for anything else than NES clone. But it's about friends. I was lucky enough to play a Game Boy in the first half of nineties (only two games, but c'mon), played a bit of the SNES, a lot more on the Genesis, and even got my hands on the N64 when it just faded into eternity in the very early 2000s. (There is no point in talking about PS1, times were completely different at that point).
It was around 2007-2008, if it tells anything to you.
At that time I already had a PS2 and several boxes (not dvd-boxes, literally packіng boxes
) of games for it (and still have them somewhere). it was the ultimate machine for humiliating children on the Internet, because I played San Andreas at the end of 2004, and they shed tears only a year and a half later on crooked bad pirated потрачено copies that were launched once in a while.
And before that (while I was in middle school) there was those arcades where there were multiple MD's and anyone could play any game, only paying for the time you play. For example, that was the first time I've played anything other than Dendy. Noone here tried to do the same stuff with SNES, and afterwards PS1's killed those MD's in those aracades.
Yes, there were times. But I never went there. The first time I went to the computer (computer!) club was in 2001, when the first Serious Sam released, and I stayed up all night playing it. I went there for some essays and documents for the coursework, but my friend worked there, and as it happened, it happened, there was almost no time for essays. Then I went there two more times and that was it. So I haven't been to those clubs. Even in the old days I played soviet shitty arcade machines like Sea Battle and Safari much more
Well, I still prefer NES Mega Man's over the X's ones, but that's just me))
They were never on pirated cartridges. never. maybe the pirates fixed it later, but not in my time.
RPG's gone wrong - wait...but there always were that strange thing with difficulty in the genre, am I not right?
No. Everything was in order on the NES. Well, Enix (before the dark times, before the square-) managed to withstand the bar of adequacy in Dragon Quest, so I love all together and every single part of this game. But I haven't had a chance to play them on SNES, even just see them, so I prefer the Zenithia trilogy on DS.
Jurassic Park (2) - you mean Chaos Continues (sidescroller) or that strange remake of the NES game where everything is top-down untill you enter the building and now it's suddenly FPS?)) I preffer The Lost World (i.e. The Original JP2) for Genesis either way, it had so much more in it.
Yes, it was, The Chaos Continues.
And after mobile internet became a thing in UA
Are we still talking about the times before 2002?
I remember the mobile Internet of those times was lying at every step. Along with mobile phones.
A very unfortunate example of a technically complex game with obvious problems with sales in Europe (it was never released here physically) as a matter of principle. This game was already played mostly later on emulators when they could do it.
and it's not "hrіvna", it's hryvnia, c'mon.
I will check later because I'm logged from mobile. I will skip online games and some I already have, but will add single player games as yume Nikki looks interesting thanks
