That's a fair comparison, actually. It falls between them, so... Dreamcast? Izzat you?

I still couldn't believe it was handheld I. It was like playing a crazy future game brought to me by time travelers! That's how I felt when I first played Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Those graphics were mindblowing for a portable in 2006. Speaking of, I still think MGS: Portable Ops is a grossly underrated and underappreciated series entry. Did either of you ever play Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for PSP? That impressed the heck out of me too.

Did either of you ever play Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for PSP? Yep, I beat that one back in 2016 actually. The graphics were still impressive years after its release. Overall the most impressive 3D graphics I can recall seeing on PSP belong to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I'm still a big fan of the PSP, and continue to play new (to me) games on it yearly.

Yes indeedy, I've played it and Logan's Shadow, although I didn't beat either. Really great looking stuff. And as Ex says, Peace Walker is ridiculously, insanely impressive for a handheld of that vintage. We have a new subforum to talk about it now, too! (It's almost HRG-compliant now, though.) Another really nice-looking game that is just barely non-compliant is The 3rd Birthday. It also helps that the game was pretty fun to boot.

I dreamed that in 1996 instead of being six years old I was an adult with a car, house, and job. I had mail-ordered a Nintendo 64 on launch and the launch game I ordered was based on Marvel's "The Avengers". I don't really remember anything else about The Avengers 64 except that it had Thanos in it.

anayoI'm not sure if it's a good thing, or a bad thing, that you dream about video games so often. But it is an interesting thing. Maybe if I got more than five and a half hours of sleep a night on average, I'd dream more or at least remember what I'm dreaming about.

anayo I'm not sure if it's a good thing, or a bad thing, that you dream about video games so often. But it is an interesting thing. Maybe if I got more than five and a half hours of sleep a night on average, I'd dream more or at least remember what I'm dreaming about. I have batcrap frickin' crazy dreams almost every night. Here: 5 March - I was at my Jewish family reunion in New York. Which is weird because I’m not really Jewish. 30 April - My friend immigrated to Mars. He couldn't understand the weird Martian dialect the second generation colonists were speaking. 2 May - I was at South Korean space launch base suiting up to go into space with some South Korean astronauts. 9 June - I was riding in an RV when I looked out the window and saw an old woman tied and gagged in the bed of a pick up truck at the stop light ahead of us. I called the police, but our connection was so bad we couldn't understand each other. 18 June - I was exploring an abandoned house with two talking badgers, like from Redwall. 19 June - I was an American journalist sent to North Korea to photograph Kim Jung Un during an event. I listened to Joseph Stalin give a speech in Russian and didn't understand a word of it. 5 July - My aunt moved into an underwater house. It was like Bioshock except a suburb. 11 July - Jesus came back to earth in the 21st century. He told me that God was going to judge humanity with a zombie plague. 6 August - I was helping a team of professional thieves rob a toy store. 22 August - I had to help Bill Murray deliver something somewhere in an 18 wheeler. I only post the ones that incidentally have video games in them.

I would say that's crazy, but I know I've had some dreams that don't make any sense, either. I dreamed one time my parents were actually secretly robots/cyborgs (or perhaps they were replaced). I'm pretty sure I'd watched Superman III fairly recently...
A weird one I had was I found a stash of video game magazines (like pretty much every one I could imagine) in the back of my pickup, but for some reason I couldn't reach them as I started to float away, almost like a balloon. Derp.

I'm pretty sure I'd watched Superman III fairly recently... Yeah I'll often see some detail in the scenery in my dream and I'll later realize it was inspired by a movie I saw or a place I traveled to IRL. The human brain seems to collect random images. The "looking for something but you can't find it" dream is so relatable. (Or else you've found it but it disappears right under your nose.)

Yeah, I may have already mentioned it, but I stumbled onto a video store in a dream that had a ton of games for sale at bargain prices, but I wasn't able to buy anything at the time. Then I tried to go back and I couldn't find it; it was just gone. Such a depressing dream...
