Independence Day (Saturn) Review - Master-Cast TV 

Hey, as my plastic surgeon always says, "If you've gotta' go....go with a smile!" 😈😆

Yeah, that's right - I went *there*. 😉😆

Thank you, thank you. However, I'm gonna' try and spread the coverage a bit better. Next up will be 3DO or Jaguar. Well, maybe. It depends.

Thanks, man. In retrospect, I should've mentioned the control. That's been a fairly common complaint, though I really feel it depends on the plane you fly. Some are sluggish, others turn on a dime.

I don't know if it's "amazing", but thank you. I appreciate it.

I love me some Nintendo 64. @Kitsune Metal said it reminds 'em of Rogue Squadron, which is high praise. Personally, I think Rogue Squadron's a better game. Won't speak for KM there. Still, the 90's were a glorious time, weren't they? My pleasure, chief. I'll try and maintain my pace.

One of my favorite exchanges.

I can see that comparison, and I do love me some Rogue Squadron.

You're right - it looks nothing like The Crow: City of Angels. LOL!

Funny. I've replied to your message twice now, yet they keep vanishing. Most strange. That, or simply not showing up on my end. Oh well. Yes, I'd sooner try Blue Lightning over enduring the "masterpiece" that is Saucer Wars. 😜

It hasn't. I just like quoting Michael J. Fox from The Frighteners. 😂🤣😂

Admittedly, you may not dig on the game if you don't like the movie. Actually, what was the worst movie licensed game you ever played?

You know, a part of me still wants to play Blue Lightning. That, Iron Soldier II, Primal Rage and - yes - Highlander have me wanting to try Jaguar CD. Still, I'd rather wait for the GD cartridge.

LOL! Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Hahaha! Thanks, man. Yeah, some games we simply outgrow. Certain things I can't go back. Recently, I tried playing Driver again, and I just couldn't get into it. For whatever reason, it doesn't grab me as it once did.

Thanks, but you really don't *need* the codes. Just go for 'easy'. That way you'll still get some challenge out of it. However, the code that lets you use the alien fighter is tits!

please share that ISO when you do Saturn!

No worries, bro. My day job's been throwing more hours my way, thanks to the pandemic. I work at a Costco here in Maryland. In addition, I look after my folks and shop for my wife that works from home. On top of that, I'm doing analog-to-digital transfer for one of my viewers/friends (10 tapes in now, G), and I decided to shoot a short horror movie on VHS. However, I have been putting in work on a love letter to Virtua Cop's 1 & 2 on Saturn, as well as a "double-feature" for Atari 2600 where I cover a couple of movie licensed games - along with a peripheral.

@@MasterCastTV 🚬🦉 I just got on here to ask the same thing. Take care and stay safe

Totally. There's better licensed games, absolutely, but there's way worse. On PlayStation, I remember Phantom Menace being a fuckin' train wreck. On Saturn, I think we all remember The Crow: City of Angels. Hell, that one graced both platforms back in the day. Ugh!

I appreciate both media, though I have a stronger pull to cartridges. Much of that has to do with reliability, durability, and expedience. Still, I have a lot of love for consoles of the era. It may be my favorite generation, because I love the fuck out of Jaguar and 3DO. In fact, I play Jaguar way more than PlayStation now.

Am I crazy for thinking the Jaguar is the best video game system of all time?

@@Bl3atingM3at I wouldn't say you're crazy. To be fair, I don't think I can honestly call anyone crazy for their preference in console. It all comes down to the games in the end, right? I mean, sure, you have considerations for the console itself (overall look and design, controller, etc). Still, if it has the games you love, then why not? That shit ain't crazy.... BUT - if you said your favorite console was the R-Zone, I may have to bend there. 😆😂

Surprised they didn't turn that into a game. If Platoon can get a game, why not Born on the 4th of July?

A Satiator? PHYSICAL MEDIA FOR LIFE, BITCH! You get a fuckin' disc! LOL!

@@MasterCastTVLOL!! I'm too poor for that shit! Digital 4 Life!

I was also hoping for another game on Independence Day! I too played the game a lot on a pc. I really enjoyed it. However, after watching the movie and learning about the game, before I could buy it, I fantasized about what it could be and imagined greater freedom of action, such as flying to the sides or above the mothership. Unfortunately, I was then disappointed when I saw the small field of action limited by the energy barrier. On the other hand, a multiplayer co-op mode would have been nice

LOL! Why do you say that?

@@MasterCastTV fuses, batteries, laser pickup. I've had to replace all once and the pickup was bad twice. Waiting on #3 🤣🤣😿

Damn! Is it a Model 1 or Model 2?

@@MasterCastTV well I don't have an engineering degree, so I opted for the model 2
