Ah GT2. Remember one of the CD's smelling of diesel?

xps The psychedelia hightened further by the fact that the game is probably running at like 12 fps at that point

"in 1999, as part of a rather bizarre marketing ploy, Sony released Gran Turismo 2 with a scratch and sniff disc. The original game came as a two-disc set, and it was claimed that the second disc in the set, a blue and white disc with extra game content, had a “real racing pit smell”"

Did I vote for IX? I don't remember, only that I though the dialogue was naff and it did best boi Vivi dirty.

yeah i will never stop having 45 minutes here or there to play thru the entirety of star fox 64. not challenging, but a joy.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 12 November 2020 23:57 (three years ago) link
(well, "the entirety"-- one of the several paths thru.)
i like that your final score is also your bill, and if it's a high score then after the credits general pepper says "this is one steep bill! *sigh* but it's worth it." and if it's a really high score general pepper says "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT????" these lil touches ykno.

notable vote splits:
Gran Turismo could've been #13 if GT2 voters had instead voted for it (and both-voters swapped so that GT1 was their higher pick)Crash Bandicoot Series could've been #16 with the same help (this counts 1, 2 and Warped which I think is 3?)Bushido Blade could've been 23rdTekken series could've been 25thTomb Raider 33rdAnd finally, because it came up here and I don't want to lead anyone on -- Darkstalkers could've been 53rd if votes weren't split between Vampire Saviour and Night WarriorsThere are a couple of other ones where vote splitting was notable but I don't think they would've cracked the top 77 either way-- i'll post the full list tomorrow of everything that got votes
note: the "new" numbers includes all of the vote splits i calculated at once, so some of them may have moved up even more if they were te *only* game that got the gameshark code for "not splitting their votes"

i'm the vote-splitting vampire saviour voter, DJP, and it gets worse: i originally had night warriors on the ballot but subbed it out thinking vsav was probably better and one of these is enough representation
― chihuahuau, Friday, 13 November 2020 01:48 (three years ago) link
I also only voted for Vampire Savior. It's the one that tournament players like.

starfox 64 way too low! it is indeed a near-perfect one-sitting challenge - maybe just a little TOO long for a completely casual session but still just a sweet, satisfying, largely fluid experience. my siblings and i also played the shit out of the multiplayer, which isn't a patch on Mario 64 but made a nice alternative if we wanted something more confrontational and it was too late at night to get loud upstairs by playing multiplayer Duke 3D.

Wip3out: my #1. Best racing franchise ever, it was a toss up between this and 2097 but the clean graphics and the orbital and chem bros tracks just edged it.Um Jammer Lammy: I lost my dojo, but it still remains in my mind... It even has a casino. Dojo. Casino. It's all in the mind.Vib Ribbon: my #6, lol. Maybe not the best for replayability but a unique take on rhytham games and great quirky songs - Laugh and Peace - Vib-Ribbon OSTBust a Groove: Everything is fine with me if I'm with my E-Z mouseTekken 3: surely the best of this generation's TekkensGran Turismo: at the time this looked amazing - the reflections on the car, the way it wobbled and bumped when you went off the track. Easy to judge it as pretty ropey by today's standards but TV from back then looks pretty rubbish too but you'd never have thought that at the time. Loved how you could tune the cars suspension to ridiculous levels and have it bounce all over like it was racing on a trampoline.Perfect Dark: played a lot of this, single and multiplayer, didn't vote for it as it's a pale shadow of Goldeneye. My main memory is of the single player, wandering around lost in a building being followed by that stupid flying laptop saying "Haven't been round here before!" every two minutes.

Puzzle Fighter was another one where I can't say for sure how great of a puzzle game it was, but I gave it votes for memories of having a blast playing it --- maybe saw it for the first time at Anime Weekend Atlanta in the late 90s, was spellbound by the colors and the animation of it, all the crystal shards smashing everywhere. Later, two of my best college gal pals had a copy, at a spot that was sort of a dinky duplex but also the first off-campus apartment anyone in my circle got, so a key locus of laid-back hangout times, and Puzzle Fighter slotted in really perfectly to that as well. One of those where I'd love to play it again, but would hate to discover it wasn't as special anymore.
