Retro Blast 🎃

That's what a lot of ads called it back then, actually!

SEGA never could resist taking shots at Nintendo any chance that they got.

90s kids had a constant front row seat to the greatest console war of all-time and it was awesome!

Look, if you had told any SEGA or Nintendo kid in the 90s that this would happen someday, their heads would have exploded on the playground.

For those who were around to see it happen, I know you get it.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City officially released 23 years ago, October 29, 2002.

This is my personal favorite game in the franchise. It took everything that made GTA3 amazing and expanded on it, threw it all back to a Miami Vice style 80s, and had one of the BEST licensed soundtracks EVER.

We gotta get you on Dino Crisis! 😎

Do you happen to do analog stick replacements with steel sticks?

Say something nice about the Atari Jaguar.

Liotta was the perfect voice for Tommy. RIP.

San Andreas is probably the overall better game, and I do love the 90s California vibe in it, but Vice City is just a flat-out vibe for me. I love everything about it.

I'm still recovering.

It absolutely was, the overall Nintendo vs SEGA thing in general has yet to be matched. They went at each other so hard back then lol.

Yea, and it's a huge deal too. But idk, this one was like Rome falling for me lol.

This is the first time I've seen his mask in any marketing, but it looks SO GOOD!

Oh I can't take credit, just a meme I've had for ages I finally decided to share lol.

Oh yea. It's 25 years old now if you can believe it!

Absolutely!

Opinions are not facts. Hope this helps. 👍

Absolutely, this is just campaign actually!

Honestly, yea. MCC is a great package overall.

Yep. Bummed about the MP not being there, but I will play the hell out of the campaign!

Are you inferring that if someone enjoys video games that they don't go outside?

Because that would be silly.

I'd be very surprised if it didn't, I think the co-op would be pretty successful if they did!

I do think a lot of that reaction is overblown, personally. Fandoms are gonna complain about every little thing. I will wait until the game actually comes out and try it for myself to judge it. I've played HALO enough to know pretty quickly if it'll be worthwhile.

I honestly think if fans will stop complaining so much and just give this remake a chance to actually come out and try it, we might actually get a resurgence for HALO. I hope for that, and I can't wait to try it for myself.

You realize some people are going to think you're being serious...

Sir... You and other gamers who have never played HALO before are in for an absolute TREAT.

There's a reason it was such a big deal for so long. For some of us, HALO games were the staple. Both HALO 2 and 3 releases were full-on EVENTS.

It was all lightning in a bottle. And now you get to hold it.

with friends on couches playing 2 v 2 matches, or LAN parties with teams slayer, objective, etc. The maps were incredible and the fun factor was unmatched. HALO was THE series for many of us from 2001 - 2011 ish. Getting to jump in at the start of Chief's story is going to be special for you. (3/3)
