FOUR PLAYER DREAMCAST SPLIT-SCREEN ACTION, BABY!

That's the stuff that dreams are made of right there, my friend. Back in 2000, when dinosaurs walked the Earth, there was nothing finer. And don't even get me started on when we used to do four player split screen Quake 2 deathmatching, on a 10" black and white portable screen, using pre-dual shock PS1 pads. That's right: no looking up or down, strafing with the left and right pads, pressing X to shoot... THAT, my friends, is hardcore gaming.

I still resent online gaming for taking the unadulterated joy of split-screen gaming from me. :(

Kids these days, always on my lawn, messing up the grass...

Oh I was on a N64 on Goldeneye and Perfect dark( a more refined faster golden eye) in those days of 4 player split screen. I think we were using a ten inch portable as well :D

We always played one hit kill, so anyone with a killstreak was doing well.

I played Banjo Kazooie until I cut my grizzled FPS teeth on Halo and Half Life. :P

Four player split-screen is just the definition of fun times gaming to me. So many great memories of me and my mates sat around the lounge, conquering the galaxy for Palpatine in 'Star Wars: Battlefront 2', or just destroying one another in 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect' (which was the undeniable apex of the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark formula. What an amazing, amazing game that was).

Not to mention, 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect' had more than a few female characters. Not to mention the rest...

In conclusion, f*** 'Call of Duty' for making the inclusion of female characters both a breadcrumb and somehow a big deal RATHER THAN THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE IN GAMING. Piece of f***ing s*** game series.

I miss split-screen. Some of my favourite moments in games where during split-screen sessions. Especially when messing around in Modern Warfare 2 or Halo 3.

I was an *** in both of them to other players, and so were my friends, so it was a tonne of fun.

Play Nik-Nak, run about on your knees - ADVANTAGE!. Everyone else had to aim quite far down to get you in their sights, whilst you just fired from the hip and hit them in the knee during Golden Gun.

And never underestimate a good game of 'Get Coltrane' - Someone takes Robbie Coltrane's character, and is not allowed to engage in violence. Instead, whoever gets the most kills of that character wins.

Yeah we banned oddjob for his height advantage.

Oddjob - that was it. Not Nik-Nak.

Man, now I want to go buy a new N64!!

I had to do that when a parent thought the floor of a garage was a suitable place to store it.
Managed to get one for £5 off a car boot though so all good...

I managed to salvage that out the faulty one.

Very, very nearly bought a Wii U just then....

I think I can afford it this month (bills are all paid), but potentially big spend weekend coming up....

Give into a Wii U...

Do it!

Mr Mystery
10-28-2014, 05:47 AM
Oh I fully intend to - but it's whether I'm currently sitting on £750ish, or £300ish is the issue!

Psychosplodge
10-28-2014, 05:48 AM
Yeah that'd make a difference.

Yarp.

Gonna ride out this weekend (off to Brighton Thursday night for Halloween metal night - dressed as Pinhead, then Pluckley, England's most haunted village Friday, Saturday up to work and back, refuel the car to make sure I totes have enough until the end of the month, and then Sunday meet the parents at their hotel) and then see where I are.

If I are where I think I are be, Wii U it is.
