Little Samson | The Gaming Historian | Forum

Wow, you almost managed to go a full two weeks without being a douche about emulation, if you want to debate it, I started a topic after you ran off crying the first time.  It was discussed in an intelligent manner and most people didn't have a problem with it.  It's when people like you try to call us "purist pricks" for preferring the physical cartridge that gets under our skin.  I use emulation, I also collect physical games, I have already outlined my reasons for both in the topic that the subject was MEANT for.  I suggest you do the same instead of being a troll about it and spamming every possible topic and video with comments purely designed to start a fight that you will just bitch about later.

MasterNeoCasko, you're flat out wrong. As someone who doesn't have the access to retro games these people do, and who depends on emulation for a big deal of my retrogaming, I'd rather have the real thing. There's a reason I've said I get jealous seeing retrogamers share their gaming collections, even as it takes a few clicks for me to play the same games at home on my computer. I do have strong opinions regarding copyright law and piracy, but you're completely off course criticizing collectors. Not everyone would want to go around town dressed up as Darth Vader or buying Star Wars collector's plates, but they're all expressions of the same famdom.

 

This debate has been done to death, but just so some representation is here, I'll be the first one to say I emulate but would rather have the real thing.

 

And to be clear, I have some original games too, mostly Game Boy.

Well I guess I ticked off someone.  I think you're wrong. Still, I do know that there a lot of collectors here. Also, as I said before, this is my opinion. I thought we would be mature enough to handle that. But I guess I was wrong. I don't want to be here all day arguing about video games and how we play them. XD

So yeah, I still stand by my views.

First warning: Get the back to the actual topic of Little Samson and Norm's video or I'll lock this thread

Second Warning: Neocasko you have now admitted that you are trying to actually start a fight which is one reason why you were banned the first time. One more time and you will be gone for good and no amount of whining to John will get you back. 

Alright. Let's get back on topic. I really enjoyed this game. I remember when I used am emulator to play it. 

But I do have one question. I don't know if you are the person to ask (since you weren't the person who reviewed it), but is the company still around? I can't find any real things regarding it.

And Kevin……we are not friends. I am not your biggest fan. I don't like your way of handling things back then, and I still don't. Do you not realize it's in an indirect fashion that I irritate them. Like a "Rosa Parks in the bus" kind of way. I never actively went after people. When will you get that? But my conciense is clear. Always has been on this, always will be. 

That's all.

Wow, even in the old days Capcom was driving away its talent x3

Unfortunately, unless this shows up on Virtual Console, I likely won't be able to play this. I don't have the money to buy a game that insanely priced, and even if I did I don't have a NES.

Or you can emulate the game. That's what I would do if I can't get an older game. Its ROM is online if you look and finding an emulator should be no problem either. 

Do you ever post about anything else bro?

I remember enjoying emulation when I was younger, but as I grew older…it just doesn't cut it for me anymore.  I don't know what changed.  Meh, as of right now, I may use emulation to "demo" a game.  However, if I enjoy it, I purchase it.  I find it more enjoyable to play the game itself, rather than an emulation.  That's just me though. =-)

However, I'd be tempted when a game with a price-tag like THIS one comes along.  Sheesh! 

 

Oh, here is a rule by me, "So long as you are in control of a game and are having fun with it, the hardware you are playing it on doesn't matter." In other words, so long as you are playing the game, you are playing the FREAKING game! It's not a goddamn "demo"! Demos are limited cuts of a game essentially. Games on emulator are not. They are the same game running on different hardware or software.  

Woah, calm down there guy.  Why is "demo" offensive to you?  I said I use them AS A demo.  Sampling the game essentially.  No big deal.  Fyi…if I said emulator fans can go fuck themselves, or referred to them as emulator purist pricks, you'd be quite angry.  So even if you are not aiming your insults at someone specific, you are indirectly offending many people.  If you are truly trying to avoid flaming, then just watch your words more mate. =-)

On the note of Samson, my girlfriend got excited when I told her Gaming Historian reviewed this game because she remembered hearing about it while watching Game Chasers with me.  Its always cool to see your lady get excited over anything game related. haha =-) 

Well, I guess I was a little mad. -_-'

But yeah, it's just that I am not in a position to spend over over $40 on a video game, let alone $200. It gets me a little mad but I tried to make it clear that I have no ill will towards you. It's all over personal opinion after all. I was always fine on a personal level with the big E anyway so that's all that matters. But whatever! XD

As for Little Samson, I do like the game too. It's great and is certainly the kind of game I would put on the underrated classics list of mine (alongside The Guardian Legend, Metal Storm, Moon Crystal, Power Blade, Vice: Project Doom, and others). Having multiple characters to play as helps too! 

And it's nice to know your girlfriend likes it. Its always hard for me to find girls who are interested in games at all, let alone retro games.

The way I see it, if it is not available to download off of the virtual network, emulate it. Emulated or purchase of a cart will result in the developer receiving the same amount of money. Games are meant to be enjoyed, and like master said, not everyone has 200 to throw on a game.

I may be taking a risk by saying this but…very well said. 

This game and many others are too good to not be enjoyed by others, emulation or not. 

Thanks for getting my point.
