Pretty much; I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of him :D
In one of the newer videos, he gets really excited when he finds out Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage on SNES is not only a good game, but a good game from LJN of all companies. Can't say I blame him; LJN's games are terrible for the most part (though I used to play Friday the 13th a lot).

My first console was an Atari 2600 and I was already 7-8 years old by then. I'm old enough to remember pretty much all of the points they listed :)

And I agree about the quality control. Nowadays, companies rely way too heavily on patches and DLC. Take Might and Magic X for example, great game, love it, playing it tons. It is however full of extremely annoying bugs but Ubisoft knows they are done making money selling that game so they made it clear they did not want to issue a fix patch.

LJN...yup. I remember some of those clunkers. But yeah, I did really like Maximum Carnage. I had forgotten they did that one. That was a really interesting beat 'em up. Any game where you can play as Venom, I'm sold.

Have you played Ultimate Spider-Man? It's an open world game rather than a beat 'em up, but it also lets you switch between Spidey and Venom.
