The greatest game ever

Post by Tacks »

I was thinking about this game the other day and I wanted to play it again BADLY. I looked on ebay but they didn't have any versions for the PC. So I found it on underdogs...do yourself a favor and play it. It's difficult to get into at first but once you understand it, it's fucking awesome (at least it was 10 years ago when I played it).

Yes "New Horizons". The first one sucked. I can't get the fucking game to run on my machine though=/ any hints? I installed it and it freezes at the main screen.

If you can't get the PC version to work, try getting ahold of a SNES Emulator and the Rom for this one. The Console Port is almost identical (from what I can remember) to the PC version.

Great game. Just get the snes emulator as mentioned above. Works just fine. Im pretty sure you can find it all at Romnation.

Just as long as it doesn't go totally unnoticed I'm happy. I would fucking love a remake of this game. Add a little more story and upgrade the graphics, that's all I want.

7) Shadowrun (genesis version, not the shitty snes one)


I really wish theyd redo that game and make a PC version.

Id probably spooge.

i've still got the genesis cartridge, it was definitely one of the greatest RPG's ever made, especially on sega.

you should look into Deus Ex if you never played it, it's a lot like a 3D shadowrun, but it's far more linear and story-driven

edit - that uncharted waters seems like 100x better on an snes emulator, it was on perma-turbo mode in dosbox, but now seems playable

If they remade Shadowrun, and did it properly, I would stop playing every other game I own.
