Tomb Raider series . Is it hype about her polygon breasts or were these good GAMES?

Die Hard Trilogy


Crash Bandicoot series.

Special Ops series.

Of the James Bond games....is 'The World Aint Enough' the same as the N64 version, and is 'Tomorrow Never Dies' exclusive to the system or Saturn? Any other ones released?

Legend of Dragoon (never heard of it, but it looked very interesting. almost bought it.)

Siphon Filter series.

Tom Clancy games.

*latter add on -- * Resident Evil series.

Most if not all are clearance games..

There was one other game by Squaresoft...called something Fighter 2 ? Not sure of the title anymore, other than there was a '2' and had a white cover with a character, with I think a sword, on it.


All I picked up was Vagrant Story (hope this is good) on clearance and also Intellivision Greatest Hits (yeah).

Tomb Raider series?

1 and 2, yes. III and up, no.


Die Hard Trilogy

First one, yes. Second one, no.


Crash Bandicoot series.

Yes to all except Crash Bash.


Special Ops series.

Oh hell no.


Legend of Dragoon (never heard of it, but it looked very interesting. almost bought it.)

Borderline. It's a second-tier RPG. Didn't hold my interest. Typically weak Sony text localization.


Siphon Filter series.

Yes.


Tom Clancy games.

The PlayStation/PS one versions of Clancy tactical-action games are too stripped-down to be enjoyable.

The preceding opinions were brought to you by a Jaded Bastard (TM).

Legend of Dragoon was more stale than month-old bread. It looks beautiful but the battle was SO SLOW. Each random battle was a good 5 minutes, and forget any kind of interesting boss fights.

That game definitely did not age well.

The first Die Hard Trilogy is awesome, especially the driving part.

Highly recommended.

GRAMMER. World Is Not Enough. I think there were some multiplayer differences between the N64 & Playstation version. There was also a 007: Racing game.


Resident Evil series.

The first and second, third was iffy. Survivor was fun, but don't pay too much for it.

Few & far between. Spin Jam is my fave of the >$10 titles.

Tobal No.1 or Ehrgeiz perhaps?

I'd guess Bushido Blade 2. Ehrgeiz has a guy with a sword (among other characters) on its cover, but there's no "2" in the title. Anyway, both of the Bushido Blade games are great fun.

Haha, I was't sure of the title (didn't remember) and for a while I was thinking the game was called 'The World Can't Get Enough' LOL


I know 'Aint' aint a word....but who knows?, it's probably in the Oxford Dictionary *drum roll*

Sure it wasn't "Saga Frontier 2"? That's got a picture of a guy with a sword on the cover... but it's not a fighting game.

Resident Evil 2 is possibly the most frightening and atmospheric game on Playstation 1.

With a few gripes aside "questionable voice acting and Japanesey cheesiness in dialogue" The game has a great Storyline with a rich history to explore in the first game and in later games "prequel or otherwise" that will have you up till 4 am waiting to see whether the next area will reveal a sanctuary from the Hell on earth that is Raccoon City or simply another nightmarish fight for survival.

Heavy firepower, Hordes of undead, the paranoia of which human survivors to trust and which may betray you for their own agendas combined with conserving ammunition for later use, deciding when to run and when to hold your ground all while solving bizzarre puzzles in order to open secret passages and hidden caches of weaponry make this game the pinnacle of survival horror.

There is also a ton of replayability. To start out there are 2 ways to play. Claire or Leon. Depending on which you choose the game plays differently as they are adept at different skills, obtain different weapons and interact with different NPC characters.

But thats not all! If you beat the game with one of the characters save it and start a new game as the alternate character. Now you are playing the flip side! Took the Sub machine gun the first time through? Now its not there for the other player. doors that werent blocked the first time might be closed on this run through the game. Or possibly a dead end in the other game is now the only way through as an area you didnt see before.
Remember that scene in JAWS when the Oxygen tank was in its mouth? Well think alligator and add some sewage.

That makes about 4 different stand alone games worth right there. But there are other games you can unlock also like the UMBRELLA special ops member you take control of to retrieve a sample of the G- Virus.

Overall I give Salsa Sluts IV a 3 boners up out of 5

There's a game called Salsa Sluts IV?

haha, awesome! It'd be like watching the Spanish channel, only with their clothes OFF :)


And I believe Saga Frontier 2 it is. It was on Squaresoft, so I wasn't expecting a fighter.

Best Buy, Toys R Us. They were between $6.99 and I think $19.99 each. Most were actually $9.99 ...
