Another huge Limited Run Games request

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I forgotten a particular sports series I grew up with. A forgotten boxing series that had guest characters. Also not to be confused with Ready to Rumble movie, that's a wrestling movie. I am going to openly throw out Ready 2 Rumble Boxing series excluding the the third & final game that killed the franchise.

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing was on many platforms. I had Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on PS1 as a kid. More recently I gotten the N64 version. I had Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 on Sega Dreamcast as well as GBA. Obviously I was more into the franchise then I realized. If you know the sport, I don't have much to explain.

Like Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series, Ready 2 Rumble had personality. We even had the legendary announcer Michael Buffer too. He's later playable in his Hulk form as Rumbleman. I previously mentioned the guest characters, you might not be expecting some or any of these celebrities. We have former President Clinton with his wife Hilary.

We also have the late musician Michael Jackson. He had limited involvement with Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2. Shaquille O'Neal in the house!!! They even made a weird boxing machine a character too. There's a few modes to play that's expected from your typical boxing game experience.

I always enjoyed the audio especially the music. The controls can differ between versions. I confess boxing is one of my favorite sports. Yes I heard about Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, Tyson going to destroy Paul badly. You have a meter that works very similar to a feature in Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

When the words are full, you can go berserk on your opponents. You even can sent them flying out the ring too. You instantly win if you do that in matches. I also liked you can see the characters get their faces damaged as the matches goes on. This was before Mortal Kombat series started to do that.

Speaking of Mortal Kombat series, Midway Games were responsible for two of the three games. Midway was going through desperation times at this point. So it's mind blowing both of these are a hit. Ready 2 Rumble Boxing has a appeal people can relate to. A good selection of characters excluding guest characters.

I usually don't play boxing games, I haven't since Wii Sports through it's boxing portion years ago. Which was my favorite boxing game in terms of the controls. It just wasn't quite the same as playing these boxing games. Hey Limited Run Games, this is one of my huge compilation game ideas.

Please bring Ready 2 Rumble Boxing series back someday, I would greatly appreciate it. I kinda felt bad I forgotten this franchise from a previous blog entry. Especially with everything both these games does right. It does bag the question with a lot of newer boxing games not great. When will boxing games like these come back to show how it's done?

Puppet Master: The Game vs Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game comparison

I gotten every achievement in both these amazing multiplayer horror games. I do recommend both of them if you're tired of Dead by Daylight.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, this was the big one I planned while on vacation. I gave a major hint what I was planning before I left. I would be surprise if someone figured it out. I don't see many people comparing Puppet Master: The Game and Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. To me, they're both quite decent license multiplayer horror games.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie came out 1988 with the original Puppet Master a year later. You also can play both these games on Steam. I will try to not go longer than necessary with this comparison. I do think they got stuff over each other making this way more interesting. I'm already excited to write all of this.

Officially Puppet Master has more modes that alters the amount of players. You even have an offline mode excluding the human characters. The maximum amount of players is in Puppet Wars. You have four players on any faction not humans against another faction that's also not humans. This is honestly one of the most fun multiplayer modes I ever played.

Eight people in one match with both sides being able to respawn with the option to change out characters. Killer Klowns has 3v7 matches that's ten people in one match. It's easier to get into matches for Killer Klowns. Sometimes that works against it like when you're in a match almost over. Both games has time limits in most modes.

They also got a lot of cosmetics that's surprisingly done differently. Both games has paid dlc cosmetics. How you get the other cosmetics is vastly different. In Puppet Master, you earn points during matches. If you got enough points you can buy character and weapons skins respectively. In Killer Klowns, you must do challenges to unlock stuff.

I was kinda stupid to not realize there was actually more of a selection for them. It turns out there's several variations of each cosmetic you get in the game. Which means Killer Klowns got a lot of them despite lowing much less in comparison. Another interesting factor is Killer Klowns allows both sides to gender swap.

I like this idea because you can create entirely new characters the way you want. Right now, I prefer most faction skins than Killer Klowns. Considering Puppet Master has more modes. Mostly you are fighting other factions with additional rules. Like there's a mode one faction protects an human. The other faction is sent out to kill em.

Single Player mode, in most maps you can earn files from doing tasks. The new map lacks files but I recommend playing it. There's no question, you get weapons on every side. In both games, humans must search for people to protect themselves. It's rare when I say it's fun to be an human character in these style games.

Klowns has several variations of their cotton candy ray guns. They also have other weapons that differ more in types. They only use two weapons during matches. However they also got abilities as well as klowntalities. I realized while on vacation I misspelled that. I didn't know prior there's a t in that word. Like Friday the 13th: The Game, Klowns has up to four finishers.

They do have the option to kill humans off from using weapons. This is important because most factions except humans has a finisher. Blade currently the only character with two executions. It does depend what you have able on him. I felt characters in Puppet Master plays vastly different from Killer Klowns.

In both games, an human player it doesn't matter AI or an actual person must be downed. In order to finish them off in matches. You don't have that option against other factions though. In fact, don't expect mercy facing em. In both games, all sides can gang up on each other. I felt both games are better balanced than Dead by Daylight.

There's more attack variety to help spice up the game play. Puppet Master does have a match type someone plays an human. They must collect particular items then escape. Killer Klowns does this with more options to escape. It's vastly similar to F13 game in that regard. Klowns mostly has to take out the humans.

Klowns can use their cocoon ray guns to prevent most escape methods. The only escape method if it shows up they can't prevent occurs very late in matches with the ice cream truck. The only way to prevent it is by causing an early klownpcalypse to happen. To do that, every cocoon generators must have four cocoons each within the time limit.

It almost doesn't matter which you earn points regardless. They can cocoon humans then place them on cocoon generators. They also have the option to kill em too. Two slots for abilities locked for Klowns but those are helpful. The final slot you can choose whatever you want. My two favorites is Invisible Car and Pizza Box respectively.

Obviously the maps are much bigger in Killer Klowns. Also they got five maps compared to Puppet Master's four maps. I mostly enjoyed majority of their maps. I should point out you can do Private Matches in Killer Klowns. Without other players, you have to play as an Klown. In both games, you have the option to select which side or random.

This isn't an option in public matches for Killer Klowns though. Like F13 game, you get randomly selected a side for matches. There's more depth to character builds in Puppet Master. Along with all the characters as well as cosmetics. You also have perks you can use points to get. You can get rid of them if you need to.

Some perks are character exclusive but the game seems to allow em for some reason. Both games has voice chat with Killer Klowns being similar to F13 game with proximity chat. The closer a player is to you, the more you can hear em. This isn't an issue in Puppet Master. Both do a great job recreating their source material in a video game.

Of course, they also have their theme songs too. I previously made a mistake about Killer Klowns not having that. It turns out in a few ways, the theme song is heavily presented in the game. Even the ending credits has that. One weird thing if you preordered the Deluxe Edition for Killer Klowns. Both digital soundtrack and artbook you need your cell phones with an app to get.

Keep in mind, looking up the actual deal there's no mention of this anywhere. I do like having those on the go though. I also need to point something else out regarding matches in Killer Klowns. Klowns can respawn in matches while humans need to activate a particular machine. When it's activated, there's no more respawns for them.

I do like this since there's a little over double amount of humans to the Klowns. You also can break down doors in both games, Puppet Master requires more effort. Humans can vault to help during chases in Killer Klowns. I felt gun wise human wise is in Puppet Master hands down. I usually go with melee in both games.

In Puppet Master, melee weapons doesn't break. In Killer Klowns, melee weapons does break with each having different usage meter. You also have throwing weapons that stuns Klowns for a few seconds. Humans also get an Air Horn for the same purpose. The closest you'll get to that in Puppet Master is Pinhead throwing a brick at an human or another faction character.

You really felt like these characters during the game play. They pulled some human characters from the movies in both games. Mostly you got non human characters that's a lot of fun to play as. Achievement hunting wise you may need the community to help somewhat. I honestly had a lot of them doing it for both these amazing games.

It's no secret with the 2024 games I played so far this year. I know we're half way through right now. Both of them are already at the top of the list. For me, it's really difficult to pick which one I prefer playing over the other. Not because regardless which side I pick the other side won't be happy about it. No because I'm possibly pulling hairs to decide which is the better multiplayer horror game.

Technically Puppet Master been in development a lot longer. It's a more better programmed game from the bugs. You really getting fan service with everything coming to it. I also like you can swap out characters in most modes if you aren't an human. I confess Killer Klowns does looks better. I felt Private Matches by myself is just more exciting than Single Player in Puppet Master.

Not to say it's boring, it's not by any means. The maps are very faithful to the source material. Another advantage Puppet Master is it's a free game. Let's be honest, not many people are into these style movies. The community is very loyal to this game though. I also like Killer Klowns community too. I'm in both their discord servers.

Killer Klowns has better human game play I felt. To me you had more options to deal with the increase amount of possibilities within matches. Another annoying thing is in Puppet Master, you can be killed while performing an execution to prevent it. Killer Klowns this would be more of you carrying someone in a cocoon to suddenly get attacked by another human.

Right now I strongly felt Puppet Master has better paid cosmetics. It's actually stuff you want in the game. Not to insult what Killer Klowns has so far. I do like those sinister looking Klown skins. I also felt humans got better cosmetics in comparison too. At this moment, I have slightly more reasons to go with Puppet Master.

Puppet Master seems the better balance of the two games. You get more of a complete overall experience with it. There's more modes to play. To me, better overall cosmetics including those you pay for. More unique game play on the factions. More in depth character builds helps too. The better programmed multiplayer game with bugs not as bad as Killer Klowns.

There's also the fact Killer Klowns by itself costs forty dollars. Puppet Master is free by default. Sure, Killer Klowns is on more platforms with Crossplay. Puppet Master also has a better voice chat system. Not only that, executions are simply better too. More variety of abilities to work with among the factions.

Puppet Master: The Game wins

What's my retro Batman collection game lineup?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I previously kept throwing around retro Batman collection game concept. In all honestly, it may have major obstacles. I do think all of them comes together with the right Batman games. We'll get a truly worthy Batman collection for years to come. This is currently my biggest retro license game collection request.

Batman Era for this retro Batman collection

1990-1998

Mostly focusing on the main movie and show Batman games.

1. Batman (NES game)

2. Batman (Game Boy game)

3. Batman (Genesis game)

4. Batman (PC Engine game)

5. Batman (Arcade game)

6. Batman: Return of the Joker (NES game)

7. Batman: Return of the Joker (Game Boy game)

8. Batman: Revenge of the Joker (Genesis game)

9. Batman Returns (NES game)

10. Batman Returns (Sega CD game)

11. Batman Returns (SNES game)

12. Batman Returns (Atari Lynx game)

13. Batman Returns (Master System game)

14. Batman: The Animated Series (Game Boy game)

15. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (SNES game)

16. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Game Gear game)

17. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Genesis game)

18. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Sega CD game)

19. Batman Forever (SNES game)

20. Batman Forever (Genesis game)

21. Batman Forever (Game Boy game)

22. Batman Forever (Game Gear game)

23. Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (Arcade game)

24. Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (Sega Saturn game)

25. Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (PlayStation 1 game)

26. Batman & Robin (PlayStation 1 game)

I'm sure most of these would remain in. A handful of them likely won't for a few reasons. We mostly need the original version of Batman Forever: The Arcade Game. A lot of them are somewhat similar to each other, TMNT had a similar thing. PC Engine, Game Gear, Master System and Atari Lynx barely presented on modern platforms.

I didn't include Batman Returns on Sega Genesis because Sega CD version has that. Plus it's own driving levels with improved audio. You even can choose to do one set of levels or both of them. I could see companies like Digital Eclipse or Limited Run Games doing a lot with this. Majority of these retro Batman games really needs to come back.

Personally I don't see the point including both Genesis and Sega CD versions of Batman Returns.

I felt that was the perfect era of Batman games for a collection game. A few companies needs to be involved to make this an reality. Considering Batman among the most successful comic book franchises in the world, why wouldn't they do this? More than enough Batman for everyone. People simply can not understand why I want this so badly!!!

This is easily my biggest, most ambitious retro collection games I'm waiting for. Hell as a kid, if this was coming out. I probably drop everything to get my parents to go buy it. Then play it for hours, I really hoping this does happen. We are lucky enough to get Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics as well as The Thing Remastered.

I felt the overall ratio of these Batman games bounces out enough to be very enjoyable. Especially with modern enhancements in newer collection games. Not only that, DC with those game companies add some really cool stuff to spice up the collection game too. It will be an ambitious collection Batman game.

If I learned anything about the dark knight, he's a rather complex character. He isn't afraid to take on beings that can easily wipe the floor with him. This collection will truly embody his amazing spirit. Retro Batman collection is virtually guarantee to sell well simply because it's Batman!!! This has so much potential to easily blow a lot of people's minds in a good way.

I think it would be rather interesting seeing all these Batman games based on the Batman movies of that era. A few Batman games based on the hit cartoon show. This felt like a rare collection game, everything confirmed about it simply adds more hype. It should be so hype it's beyond people's imaginations.

I strongly do believe this collection game needs to happen. A lot of people would deeply enjoy this. Obviously Batman fans are going to lose it over the announcement trailer. So much nostalgia packed, it simply bags the question when will it happen? I'm not waiting until I'm in my eighties for this. Batman collection games usually very constant for the most part, this should follow suit too.

Honestly, even the not great Batman games included. Some will find their own way to enjoy those. There's a few gems that people may enjoy as well. Some of the finest Batman games of that era are holding up amazingly well by today's standards. Everything about this retro Batman collection game idea screams perfection.

More thoughts on Gex Trilogy

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a little while ago I talked about Gex Trilogy. I figured I actually got more to say regarding the upcoming collection game. I will reveal my childhood connections to each Gex game. Not only that, I will talk about what I know about them. Honestly, I kinda wanted this more than Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked for reasons I'll soon reveal.

Gex Trilogy

I originally found out about Gex 1 from old gaming magazines. I was interested in playing the game, which eventually happened thanks GOG. I know that seems like a rather loose connection. I can promise you I had bigger personal connections to the sequels. Gex also one of the first video game mascots to go from 2D to 3D.

Quick Bubsy rant

At the same time, this ended up not blowing in his face. Unlike Bubsy, seriously Limited Run Games? They do a similar joke they pulled on Gex Trilogy announcement trailer with Bubsy. Which also was announcing his own collection game. Even Bubsy 3D, one of the absolute worst video games ever coming back how?

I always found Bubsy to be quite annoying. I don't even understand how he kept coming back. Everyone knows he's a terrible Sonic rip off. At least Awesome Possum stayed at one game!!! I don't think it's going to be better than Fighting Force Collection yes I went there. I probably never understand Bubsy. Gex has more than rememberable lines going for him.

Back to Gex Trilogy

Gex 2: Enter the Gecko aka Gex 64: Enter the Gecko on Nintendo 64 was the follow up. I actually had the N64 version for a time. Likely a few years after a friend brought over Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. Yes Gex 3 was the first Gex game I ever seen in person. Both of them are 3D platformer games. Gex series is a huge collecting adventure filled with jokes.

I actually can compare Gex to Conker, one of my favorite Rare game characters. Conker's Bad Fur Day with it's remake parodies a lot of pop culture mostly movies. Gex does parodies movies but also TV shows as well. Gex was always much less serious than many platformers of that era. Not to add salt, I grew up heavily around Crash Bandicoot.

It seems each platformer was doing their own thing. A lot of them were successful while others crashed hard. Gex is technically more successful than Bubsy. What else helped Gex stand out from the competition is climbing on walls. Believe it or not, when Gex did that in the original Gex. This blew a lot of people's minds back in the day.

Considering it's pop culture references, Gex felt like someone you wanna party with. Gex always had rememberable songs that fit the theme of their respective stages. In the US versions, one comedian voiced Gex in all three games. It's a little different overseas where a few people voiced Gex there. You can tell a lot of creativity went into this short lived franchise.

I know some people are hoping if Gex Trilogy's success, Gex comes back with a new game. If Dead Rising can rise from the grave after Dead Rising 4. Then I could believe Gex 4 could eventually happen. I just don't wanna be an old man when it does lol. To me, Gex Trilogy automatically the best Gex game.

You got the entire main console series in one place. Obviously they are using the PS1 versions. Some people have their questionable ideas. For me, if they could add a mode outside the games. Where we play the other console exclusive levels would be nice. Nintendo 64 versions had levels not found in other versions.

Even if we don't get that as well as both Game Boy Gex games. I do think everything else going to help this collection game shine bright. Gex Trilogy might be exactly what the doctor ordered. AVGN game series kinda reminds me of Gex in several ways. If I decide to get it for Xbox Series X. All of a sudden I got Gex and Conker on the same console again lol.

The only real difference I got Gex 1, Gex 3 and Conker: Live & Reloaded this time. Gex 3 widely known for having a model digitalized in cut scenes. People had problems with Sonic and a human princess in Sonic 06 lol. It's not clear if they going to add or remove any voice overs. Personally if we can't have newer voice overs, just keep it the same.

Agent Xtra was played by Marliece Andrada. Along with Pamela Anderson, she was on the original Baywatch show. Speaking of Anderson, she ended up with her own PS1 game simply called V.I.P. PS1 was known for using movie footage like The Fifth Element game. It wasn't often for digitalized actors. I figured that's some interesting facts.

Gex Trilogy is virtually packaged for an platformer game. I believe we're in the current tread reliving the 90s aka my childhood years. Damn I felt old from that lol. Those who owns Crash and Spyro trilogy games should enjoy this. Obviously it has plenty of ways to differ itself from those amazing games. I do think the load times will be notably cut down.

Another thing that helps Gex to stand out is unlike most of his competition. Collecting a certain amount of remotes determines procession to newer levels or not. You may have to play through the same levels again while searching for new routes. This by itself helps with the replay value. There's a few bosses across all three Gex games that's all done differently.

I'm not sure in Gex 2's ending if Nikki from Pandemonium series going to stay in or not. Also Gex 3 on N64 version had a different ending. It would be nice among the additional stuff section, we can watch that ending too. It could be Gex simply was a little too head of his time. The world wasn't fully ready for him.

Another factor is mascot wars made it tricky to keep track of them all. Sparkster recently came back in Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked. Gex series had a lot of secrets for your usual 90s platformer. Gex has to stop Rez from virtually ruining television, this is the plot of the series. We got a TV obsessed gecko taking on this machinal tyrant.

The first two Gex games has a lot of levels on the same themes. They attempted to change that with Gex 3. Although bonus levels shared a lot of the same themes as the main ones. You can count on a lot of bonus levels in this collection game too. Sometimes you just need something to play. Nostalgia is a powerful thing in retro gaming, Gex Trilogy got the support it needs.

Just going by videos, each Gex game kept getting more ambitious. This is a major factor why some YouTubers stated Gex 3 is the best by that logic. What I do know is Gex Trilogy going to open the door to more crazier Limited Run Games releases in the future. They could've gotten us each Gex game separately.

This might be crazy, I actually do prefer the route they're going with instead. Not a lot of people got to experience Gex much growing up. Sure, on one hand that's simply too much content to give someone. But on the other, please I need this in my life!!! This could heavily impact many things. I do have huge hopes Gex Trilogy going to knock it out the park.

Also going with the PS1 versions, Gex 1 lacked a save feature. Which is kinda odd here because the 3DO version had that. Then again, Gex 1 was on more platforms in the 90s than it's sequels. Prior to Gex Trilogy, Gex 3 never on PC. Officially Gex Trilogy will be the first time Gex on Xbox consoles. I couldn't think of a better way to kick things off than that.

Gex 3, he has an butler named Alfred the Tortoise. Yes that's a reference to DC's Alfred Pennyworth. Gex has different reasons to take down Rez in each game. In Gex 1, he got kidnapped by him. In Gex 2, Gex worked out a deal with the government. In Gex 3, he wants to save his girlfriend Agent Xtra. Sometimes you start to question Gex's sanity lol.

Both sequels structure their levels similar to Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie series on N64. Gex 2 did come out a year after GoldenEye 007 that done it too. Some of the game covers are rather interesting. My favorite cover belongs to Gex 3 parodying WWF later WWE. As in the wrestling entertainment organization not the animal rescue group.

This year has some interesting trilogies of games coming back. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Rocket Knight Adventures and now Gex too. Gex is more light hearted but nearly comes off as an early teen game. Very true with Gex 3 with Agent Xtra. Gex is sorta Earthworm Jim that actually makes sense. Can anyone explain anything Earthworm Jim?

Gex Trilogy is going to bring older fans back. Likely get a lot of newer fans. Game development changed a lot in a few decades. Back then, it was more about quality over quantity. Not to say it's so much quantity it's terrible recently. But the amount of DLCs for a lot of games is rather ridiculous. You are buying this with nothing additional is a good thing.

I can't wait to see what the additional stuff included going to be. If I had to make a few guesses what to expect though. A music player section would be nice. A picture section to see a lot of artwork including what almost made it into the games. We also could get cut scenes player too. There isn't many cut scenes though.

There's a chance magazine ads we as well as other related Gex videos could be included. I do think bringing Gex back now is perfect. Any longer, he's not coming back maybe that's how I see it. I do like each Gex game does several things differently. This should be a love letter to the fans. Especially people that waited this long for Gex's return, you are the true hardcore Gex fans.

I felt the world finally ready for Gex. A lot of people forget how creative the 90s games could be at times. This could also be an entryway into the platformer genre. Gex is going to open people's eyes to possibilities. Not only that, I do hope more platformer franchises comes back. Gex Trilogy has something it never had before, a fair shot.
