I'm debating whether to pick up the N64 copy or re-play the fan-ported Doom 64: Absolution. The latter is certainly more comfortable to play. Doom 64: Absolution is absolutely not recommended for this! It's an inaccurate port from a time before Doom 64 was natively ported to PC. Go with Doom 64 EX instead. However, it might be interesting to discuss why Absolution exists if Doom 64 does win, although that's looking slim at this point.

I am voting for Fortified Zone/Operation Logic Bomb, and I'm not sure if we're allowing a triple bill, but I encourage playing Ikari no Yousai II also. I can't vote for Doom 64 since I'm too familiar with it, and while I concede SaGa would be the meatiest game and would provide for a lot of discussion fuel, I don't have the time or patience to cope with Akitoshi Kawazu at this point in my life.

SaGa Frontier
It will give me a reason to finally play this game.

Damn I thought for sure OLB was gonna be the runt of the vote, with Doom64 leading and SF trailing

Damn I thought for sure OLB was gonna be the runt of the vote, with Doom64 leading and SF trailing I'm ok with this situation. SF would definitely make for interesting discussion and be an interesting challenge, but i fear that as we saw with Sweet Home, it might keep most people from playing and participating.

SF isn't nearly as impenetrable as Sweet Home, I think. You can kinda brute force your way through it.

Fortified Zone/Operation Logic Bomb looks like the one I'd rather play, however, I don't think I'd be able to join in - I don't like emulating, but I'm super poor from buying a lot of other games.

At least for SF, you can purchase it now. Unlike Sweet Home you can find it easily and in English. So definitely it's much more accessible.

At least for SF, you can purchase it now. Unlike Sweet Home you can find it easily and in English. So definitely it's much more accessible. I agree and disagree. I know there's the grey area about emulation, but in the case of Sweet Home it shouldn't be an issue for anyone legally or morally. The game will never see a legit localization, not the least of which being that the game is in a double licensing hell (check out the podcast!). If Capcom had an issue with it, there would have been an injunction years ago. Anyway I know a couple of people have voiced distaste for emulation and I can respect that, but you're missing out on a cool game. If anything buy a copy cheap on eBay or whatever (its not very rare). Hell I've got three copies, pretend you're borrowing one. In response to Ike I'd be interested in seeing how SF plays, since I thought the core of Sweet Home was pretty straightforward - just kind of tedious at worst. All of the other games of Kawazu's that I've played had that stupid FF2 stat system or something equally dumb to deal with (wanna punch something? Buy 50 punches from a store.). It's like dealing with the metric system (or visa-versa, the English system)- I'm guessing if you dealt exclusively with it all your life it would feel just as great as some people claim it is. Otherwise it's unwieldly and a pain in the ass.

Yeah. I definitely regard ALL of Kawazu's games as completely broken. BUT they're at least interesting and they try to break the mold which I like a lot!

I've got to put in for SF, I'm not opposed to the other games it's just strikes me as being the most interesting choice.

You know what? Saga Frontier. Even though there's not a chance in Hell I'm going to find the time for it.
