I've played many variations to the game but I still like the sf2 turbo and soft best. Though the graphics aren't as good as today's own.

Good old days saving hucks to play games. Zoeys chop boys money that year.

mekaprime:


Seriously, you didn't enjoy City Hunter by Jackie Chan??.. Are you sure you saw the actual movie, because I could remember seeing that same movie with some friends some couple of weeks back & we were really cracked up from start to finish.

joseph1832:
Mekaprime did and I second it. You won't really enjoy it if you didn't live in the era of Zoeys, Raiders, Hecters (hope I spelt it right) and Mega Games. That's when Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, King of Fighters was in vogue.

KoiceReloaded:


My God, you weren't kidding. Jesus Christ!

He looks like a grandpa. How did he get old so fast??

joseph1832:
that used to be my favourite till street fighter ex plus alpha and street fighter ex 2 plus came out. Till this very day, both games are my favourite.

How I wish things could be like the good old days. It'll be nice to have such game houses around today. I'm yet to see a place where they play arcade in Lagos.

Opening such a place will be capital intensive though.

AntiMCU:

A Van Damme film...

AntiMCU:

Critics are humans same like us...
There's nothing special about their reviews.
I've agreed and disagreed with them, just like I would to any other person.
Imagine them giving Bright a negative review.

pryme:


Yes Sir,
pls watch the movie first before beating the movie up with a tree branch, I know Van Damme comes across as a stereotype but like i said, I was impressed.

Luckily I watched the movie before checking the rating on google, and I was not disappointed, the almighty IMD rated it 5.7/10

but ...

Google users rated it 86%

so which would you prefer, the opinion of one guy that rights and article for an popular website or the opinion of millions of users?

WizAkzy:
I have had the movie Glass in my pc for a while now, and what kept me from watching it was the low to bad ratings you all gave it here. I decided to watch it this evening with an open mind and seriously y'all got the ratings wrong. The movie is really a good watch with hidden elements of how the world actually works. I give it a 7/10.

pryme:


Some months back I said Bright was one of my best recent Will Smith movies, but it was like had a poor taste in movies when i said this. I wonder if its all movie that has to look like poetry.

AntiMCU:

Bright was one of those films where I disagreed with critics.

It wasn't perfect, but twas good for what the film was trying to achieve on its own.

The world represented is something they can build upon.

armadeo:


I think the rock was in this movie and Wahlberg killed it.

I remember his cologne issue with th kidnapped man (monk Tony shouloub).

It was entertaining

AntiMCU:

Ok I respect your views so I'll check it out.

Unfortunately, can't say the same for Cosmicphoenix.
Dude contributes nothing but green ink to this thread.

We should just expel him...

hulk616:
it was good to you because of Deadshot.

Keep your world building and await your ban

pryme:


Pls what has these games got to do with the movie, my very first Brutality was with Noob Saibot. After Snes Mortal Kombat died.

JeromeBlack:

You would only attract youngsters. Nigeria doesn't really have a gaming culture.

I and a business associate organised a free gaming event for nairaland. Free drinks, free food.

Can you imagine that not one single gamer from nairaland came. Girls came for the drinks and food. The guys that came were already in my network.

I wanted to set up an arcade but that dream is dead. Na only mouth nairalanders get.

Octopusssy:

Shoyuken! No matter how I hard i fought, I still managed to get whopped in the first 2 minutes of the combat.

I lived in this era and still didn't enjoy City Hunter.

joseph1832:
I don't think so bro. If a place like that is set up people will come, not just young stars but adults too. There are adults out there who lived in the era of arcades who still want to relive it now.

Nigeria have a gaming culture same way Nigeria have an anime culture. People play games just as much as they watch anime bro.

I bet before cinemas came to Nigeria people believed it won't make profit because they can easily watch movies in the confine of their homes.

If such a place could be resident in a place like ICM, people will come, it's as easy as that.

Where was the venue of your Nairaland gaming get together?

Cinemas always had appeal. There were cinemas in the 80s in Nigeria that were booming. I remember my uncles talking about cinema.house back in the day.

Gaming has always been niche. And our culture does not foster gaming. People here look at gamers as irresponsible. Ishilove can verify that for you.

My gaming event was in GRA Ikeja. Funny enough, it was walking distance to one former gaming arcade mentioned here

mekaprime:

The Street fighter Arcade game was featured in the movie. Jackie Chan together with the villains entered full gaming mode, they basically replaced the game characters. The fight scene in the Arcade was one heck of a rib cracker.

joseph1832:
which spot in GRA? I remember another nairalander (allnaijablogger) doing something like what you did sometime back and Nairalanders attended.

joseph1832:
you lived in the era but the era didn't live in you.

You weren't a truant back in secondary school. Lol

JeromeBlack:



See this liar. After denigrating gamers, you are here forming nostalgia over street fighter in the 90s.

I dont blame you. I blame the whipped guys that believe your rubbish.

City hunter was a classic.

Octopusssy:

Oponu oloriburuku omo ale, still quoting me? Skipping your meds again, are you?

Fvck you very much, werey jatijati

JeromeBlack:

Allnaijablogger is my cousin. Nairalanders did not attend the event. Except for one babe
