About three to four weeks ago I started a few topics about which N64 games to grab...
To be honest, I'd pretty much given up on the N64 a good 18 months+ ago...But I felt like playing a game, but didnt fancy any of the recent PC releases...
So, anyway, after checking everyones purchase choices I went and Grabbed Conckers Bad Fur Day...
Now, this arrived last week... although, as an after effect of college, I still seem to get most of my parcels delivered to my paprents address... so I only managed to pick it up this weekend... and start playing yesterday (Sunday)
Which, By, the way... was a top call... its a great game... very funny... (although for some reason, I cant help thinking death should have a Welsh accent?)
(As an aextra note, although I've only played it for a few hours, and have only really played one world (the hay stack, pitchfork one?) ... Ive already noticed a smattering of 'Withnail and I' gags floating about ... I say smattering, although I've yet to play the majority of the game, so there may be more (or that may be it?) ... point is... how many other consoles titles have Wiathnail andI gags stuck in them? :)
Anyway... back tothe point...
I was playing the game, trying to get onto the diving board bucket, so I could collect the last few tickling bees, when It struck me that Concker was the fisr 3D arcade-adventure that I had played...
Just to make sure you see what I'm getting at hree (since the meaning of Arcade-Adventure may well have changed over the past few yesrs)
The first major batch of arcade-adventures appeared back in the mid-eighties
(there were I understand a few in the early eighties, but they were rubbish, so I tend to ignore them :) )
They were so called since they combined the action elements of arcade games... e.g platform type, or combat style, etc...
With the more complexm storylines, puzzle solving, and questing elements, found in adventure games...
Now, ver recent years, Ive seen 'Survival' adventure, Point and CLick (Monkey Island) adventure, Mario platformers (collect the coins), etc...
But its been a long time since I've played a proper arcade-adventure game...
What I was wondering... (since there is a point here, honest :) )... I was under the impression that the whole genre had been pretty much killed of by the SNES, Megadrive? ... (but then I havnt really been playing consoles titles since the mid-ninties, so I may have missed an enourmous resurgance?)... however... are there any others about?...
On the PS, N64, PS2, DC... current crop of consiles (since GC and X-Box are a good year away, I'll leave them out)
Although I'm especially interested in N64 titles... I am intreagued to the point where I would consider picking up the console which has the most arcade-adventure titles on it?
