Retro Hour! WEEK 138! Cumberdanes to Pick!

Sorry Pedz. I'd seen the PM but not had a chance to watch the vid so didn't realise it was me to pick!

Anyway I've chosen.....

Stunt Race FX (SNES)
Super Mario Bros 2 (NES) - NOT LOST LEVELS
Gradius III (SNES)

The poll is up, which game will be chosen for Retro Monday? You decide!

>no Robocod

Close so far, but what will be the victor?

I really want to see Pedz playing Stunt Race FX! It looked terrific at the time of release although, the last time I played it, time hadn't been kind to the controls or responsiveness. Still a fun game, though!

I played it on an emulator recently and it controls much better than on the actual SNES simply because it doesn't have the horrendous slowdown that it had. Still a good game.

One of Nintendo's forgotten gems I think.

Looks like Stunt Race FX is storming away with this.

Have you played it before, Pedz!

I have not. It'll all be new to me

That was meant to be a question mark not an exclamation. I hate posting from my phone. Anyway... you'll like it I think. Age has not been kind but at the time I remember thinking it looked incredible at the time. Some of the later levels are (were? Not played them in decades) pretty great. It's fun to play but from what I can remember quite unforgiving.

I'll likely not get far. Have you seen my racing skills?

Just be aware that this game pushed the SNES and the Super FX chip to its limits at the time. As such the frame rate can be poor and the controls can feel a bit laggy at times.
My main advice would be to use your boost when you get it and remember that the L/R buttons will help you corner tighter.

Doesn't Star Fox have a real bad framerates, it can't be worse?

God dammit!

Less than an hour to get 5 votes in for SMB2, come on people.

Stunt Race FX wins, by quite some margin. See you all at 7:45 for the spectacular shitstorm that is my racing skills.
