@OutofPrintArchive the section on SaGa Frontier is something else. Who the heck are the "legendary" Shinjuku Jacki and Bun Bun Maru? I've never heard of them and a quick search turns up nothing. And FF7 as an action RPG is prophetic given Remake. And of course whoever wrote this didn't seem to know what SaGa was. Oh those pre-Internet days...

@OutofPrintArchive I always loved this game more than other Sonic games for some reason. I think comparisons to Mario Kart are a bit unfair--it plays more like Outrun or Rar Racer. It's also a technical achievement when you consider the Game Gear is basically just a Master System.

I have a monkey paw wish where they add GG and SMS games to Switch Online, and hack online multiplayer into Drift 2!

Wife: "oh for f--"

What's a good use for wild rice other than soup or pilaf? Looking for somewhere where wild rice is the star of the meal.

@renwillis it might just be me, but when evenly matched, bosses in this game take forever. The first final chapter boss took me over an hour.

(Then you get in this weird state where the bosses are too easy because they didn't scale with you)

@OutofPrintArchive I always find the text around the reviews just as interesting as the review. I can't imagine a review today casually making a comment like that about a female athlete in its tagline (but maybe I'm giving the industry too much credit).
