Sega's Disney games were about the only reason I regretted not going to the local Radio Shack (the only retail location to sell SMS in my little town) and grabbing the system. I had a NES, like most gamers back then, and sure the various Disney games on it were good but I was a big fan of Donald Duck (stemmed from being a fan of the comics) and Sega was the only one doing him any justice.
If only Sega had continued their Disney releases on Saturn. I would have easily dropped $50 or $60 in 1995/1996 for a disc with 5 to 6 16-Bit Sega Disney releases - even better if there were some improvements with any slowdown/flicker/maybe a score challenge or something but barebones would have done it too. Used games stores back then were not prolific in my area - we had to rely on pawn shops with zero tolerance on returns for videogames and had no clue if the prices were "fair".
You are an encyclopedia of retro gaming experiences, it's always a pleasure to read your contributions in my posts.
Thank you. I grew up with gaming from Pong to the PS3/Xbox 360 era where I checked out (when the whole always on Internet even was hinted at I was out). I have so many awesome memories of 8 to 32-Bit gaming, I enjoy sharing them with others whenever I can.
Your content is always awesome and something I look forward to when I open Hive Gaming. HG reminds me a lot of gaming publications back in the day - such varied retro content being covered. I hope we can continue to grow it in the coming years.
That's exactly what I try to do with my posts, try to replicate that retro style of video game review blogs from several years ago. I'm glad you can appreciate it so much. I think we still have a few more years to continue "bringing to life" those retro games that were so good at the time and even, it would not be bad to talk about retro games that were not so good.
I definitely agree. There are so many good, and bad, retro games to cover and those covering retro gaming here on Hive are doing an amazing job with their effort. It is a wonderful time to be a retro gaming fan as we have the old ones and new developers keeping the style alive with newer releases as well.
