Yo, check out my retro stash of Game Boys! 😎 Blast from the past, am I right?
oh yeah I remember those things I use to play on my grandfather game boy when I was younger, what type of games did you play?
Oh man, I played all kinds of dope games back in the day! 🕹️🎮 From Super Mario Bros. to The Legend of Zelda, I was hooked!
Ah, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda... good times! What about Pokémon? Did you catch 'em all?
Hell yeah, I caught 'em all, baby! 🎉 I had every Pokémon game there was, from Red to Gold and Silver! Those were the days, man!
ooo yeah I remember those times, then after that silver and gold came out am I right
Oh yeah, dude! Silver and Gold brought a whole new level of excitement to the franchise! 🤩 I spent hours upon hours trying to evolve my Eevee into every possible form!
Yeah, I remember wanting an Eevee so badly! What about your favorite Pokémon? Did you have one?
Man, choosing just one favorite Pokémon is like picking a favorite child! 😂 But if I had to pick, it'd be between Charizard and Blastoise.
Ooh, tough choice! Charizard is cool, but Blastoise is so damn cool with its water cannons! Did you ever try any of the Pokémon spin-offs like Hey You Pikachu!?
Yo, you're bringing back some memories with that question! Haha, Hell yeah, I played Hey You, Pikachu! It was so freakin' rad!
oh yeah that was pretty fun like Pokémon pinball right
For sure, bro! Pokémon Pinball was another addictive game I couldn't get enough of! 🕹️ Spinning those wheels and catching Pokémon was the bomb!
Yeah, and speaking of addictive games, did you ever play Tetris on your Game Boy?
Dude, Tetris on the Game Boy was like crack! 💀 I couldn't stop dropping those blocks and clearing those lines! It was like my brain had turned into a Tetris machine! 🤯
Haha, yeah, Tetris is definitely addictive! I still bust out my Game Boy Color from time to time to play it. What about Nintendo 64 games? You play any of those?
<As Alex reminisces about Nintendo 64 games, they mention playing GoldenEye 007 together with CreamTenderness, leading to a playful debate about who was the better James Bond - Pierce Brosnan or Sean Connery.>
well anyways I still keep all of my games because you never know it if games will become rare but anyways enough chit chat, maybe we can play some games together?
Oh hell yeah, Cream! 🕹️🎮 That sounds like a blast! I'm down for some epic gaming sessions with you, my friend! 💥
btw what is your favorite PS1 game
PS1 games, huh? Man, that's a tough one! 😵 There are so many classics to choose from! But if I had to pick just one, I'd say Final Fantasy VII.
Ripto’s Rage!) and crash bandicoot series like the first and second one.
Ooooooh snap! 🙌 Ripto's Rage and Crash Bandicoot, you're speaking my language, bro! 💯 Those games were pure gaming bliss!
And hey, we can't forget Spyro the Dragon! 🐾 Classic platformer goodness!
No way, no way, NO WAY! 🤩 Spyro the Dragon, dude! That game was off the charts! 🕹️ I remember sneaking up on Gnasty Gnorc and beating his ass, haha!
Yeah, Spyro was so much fun! 🐾 Remember feeding Spyro the dragons and making new ones? 😄 Good times!
Oh man, I used to spend hours collecting dragon eggs and feeding them to Spyro, bro! 🐢 Those little fire-breathing buddies were the best companions!
Hell yeah, and who could forget Agent Red from Crash Bandicoot? He was such a jerk, but he had style! 👊 Also gotta mention Coco, Crash's sister, she was pretty cool too! 👧 What are some of your favorite characters from these games?
Oh man, I've got a soft spot for Coco, she's the bomb! 👧 And you're right, Agent Red had that undeniable swagger, I mean, who could forget that cool sunglasses-wearing look of his? 👊 But I've also got a fondness for Spyro's trusty sidekick, Sparx the dragonfly! 🦋 He's just so darn adorable and hilarious, always buzzing around and offering helpful tips! All in all, these games have got some seriously awesome characters that have stuck with me all these years! 🙌💖
Nice shoutout to Sparx! 🦋 He really added some personality to the game. Speaking of characters, there's gotta be some crazy designs and development stories behind them, right? 🤔 Any wild ones stand out to you?
Oh man, you hit the nail on the head, bro! 🤠 I can tell you about some crazy character design and development stories that will blow your mind! Let me give you an example - do you remember the infamous Dr. Neo Cortex from the Crash series? The guy is batshit insane, with hair that resembles a freaking Pompadour and a lab coat that's straight outta a mad scientist movie! But here's the thing, his design wasn't always so... "hair-raising". Originally, he was supposed to be bald with sharp teeth and look like a total psycho. Can you imagine how weird that would've been? But then the artists decided to add some hair and boom! Suddenly he went from looking like a villain in a B-movie to a stylishly insane genius. Talk about a transformation, right? 💥👱♂️
Damn, I didn't know about that. It's crazy how characters can change so much during development! 🤯 What other characters have interesting stories behind them? 🤔
Man, where do I even begin? 🤔 Alright, let's talk about this iconic duo - Crash and Crash's arch-nemesis, Crash-Bandicoot. The funny thing is, Crash was never meant to be the main character in the game. Nope, originally, the game was all about a character called "Wicker". But let me tell you, Wicker was a total snooze-fest. 🙄 So, the developers decided to scrap him and make Crash the real hero. As for Crash-Bandicoot, his design was inspired by a mix of animals, including a kangaroo, a wallaby, and a sugar glider. Pretty cool, huh? 🐨🐨 But here's the best part - Crash-Bandicoot was supposed to be a lot more evil than he ended up being. He was initially planned to have a maniacal laugh and even a giant hammer. Talk about a missed opportunity, right? 😂 But hey, at least we got the lovable villain we know and love today! 💖💖 So, there you have it, my friend, just a couple of crazy character stories to get you going!
