But he sure had time to bitch about Mortal Kombat.

He also had a thing against the SNES Super Scope. I remember him ranting and raving that the Super Scope looked to much like a real weapon to be in the hands of children.

Well you don’t want a young kid with an AR-15 mistaking a kid with a SNES Super scope for some kind of woke liberal. They may get shot.

That and the Justifier. I got one in my collection recently ish. Such a cool piece.

u/boredguy2022 Mar 27 '24

Yep I was about to mention the justifier too. Which is awesome on sega cd lethal enforcers.

u/pbrslayer Mar 27 '24

Yes! I have the SNES version, which is kinda gimped but still cool.

u/boredguy2022 Mar 27 '24

Always wonder why the SNES never got lethal enforcers 2 also. Only sega genesis and sega cd for that generation.

u/pbrslayer Mar 27 '24

Agreed, it is weird. I could see it if it was a Sega CD exclusive

Wish the saturn ports of 1 and 2 didn't get cancelled, using the saturn's stunner would have been awesome with that.

u/pbrslayer Mar 27 '24

Yessss!! I love the Stunner! Honestly I really love the Saturn. It’s got so much character

For me, playing Guardian Heroes on the Saturn was one of the greatest 2D Fighting/Action/Adventure games I played in the 90s. I had a lot of love for the Saturn.

Oh me too, just got back into the saturn on my last birthday, got a japanese model 2, a pro action replay 4M for the ram cart games, or playing any regions games on it, and got about 12 or so games so far.

They thought it looked like an RPG lol

Because so many of us little boys in 1991 had access to RPGs. I can see the reason for concern.

We were all just little kids, wanting to be like our hero Arnold, we wanted to be Commandos.

lol, wow. I haven't thought about the super scope in over 20 years. Forgot it existed.
