fozzy fosbourne posted:I'm enjoying the fact that the plot and motivations are pretty straight forward and relatable so far. Something nice and quaint about the game, like a nice warm apple pie. I was like "UH OH" when Marle decided she wanted to try out the teleporter, lol. Chrono Trigger is prettyy awesome and I've lost count of how many time I've played. Hope you enjoy it. (Seconding the added content in the DS version kinda sucks--it's pretty obvious, though, so it's easy to get around)

I've been playing a bunch of old arcade games that arent really good but have something interesting about them. Blade Master: This has an early version of the Revengeance parry that feels fantastic but they made it so you can't use it against most things. I like the part where you ride on a giant cicada. You can jump on downed enemies and stab them, but then you lose 1/3 of your life when they knock you off. Baffling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMsWyT9DxTk Psycho Dream: SNES beat em up based on dreams. Also has a giant cicada. You fight alot of weird monsters in depressing abandoned buildings. The last boss is strangely poignant and its music is this sort of Suicide remix of Ave Maria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS4fQw1NeAY Dino Rex: one of the most insane games i've ever seen. an unplayably bad dinosaur fighting game. Between matches there is a bonus stage subplot where your dinosaur appears in present-day Hong Kong and destroys civilization. there's a newscast segment after each bonus stage, but after the third one you get a "collapse of civilization" bonus and the newscast is just a bunch of scratchy hieroglyphics over a scene of people fleeing down a ruined highway lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzoK9LFiMHI

In Training posted:Before today I never knew the N64 was capable of FMV The old FMV was like, literally the game would just play a video. It was just when your game was 2GB you could stuff a shitload of videos into it. That's why at some point they were selling literal episodes of TV shows on GBA carts. The N64 carts went up to 64 Mb lol. Someone wrote a way too detailed article on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64_Game_Pak The GBA tv stuff is such a weird relic of its time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance_Video#Disadvantages You can buy loving shrek the movie on a gba cart. People forget that between this and UMDs there's a reason phones ate the handheld gaming space, people always wanted a mobile device that could do more than games

We were at a trade show in the UK and had just seen some specifications for the Game Boy Advance, which was launched around that time. We thought that with so many display colours maybe we could include a movie in the software. We weren’t sure whether we would be able to do it, but we were bold enough to go up to the Nintendo booth and look around trying to find someone we could talk to. (laughs) actimagine was eventually purchased by nintendo, renamed NERD (heh) and would go on to create the nes classic and a bunch of virtual console tech

This should be rad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ_UHWHjI2s I thought Danny's doom doc waffled between being lame advertainment (spent like 15 minutes talking about how epic Doom 3 was "..." ) and fascinating in a seemingly unintentional way (how desperately Bethesda wants to paint modern ID as torchbearers of the spirit of original ID even though that's a completely insane notion). But I'm optimistic that a Romero profile will be pretty frank and neat.

it could also be a puff piece to coincide with him relaunching his Kickstarter game it'll probably be good but Romero's done nothing but talk about himself for 20 years so there probably isn't much left to learn about him at this point

do you consider the earthworm jim games more as genesis games or snes games? how about the mortal kombat games?
|
![]() |
|
Earthworm Jim SNES definitely. MK1 Genesis; 2, 3 and ultimate are SNES
|
![]() |
|
let me elaborate: Earthworm jium just looks and sounds way better on the SNES. no contest here. basically the same feeling with the MK games after the first one. MK1 obv the blood is only on genesis, butr I think the music is better too.
|
![]() |
|
MK1 SNES is a bad port in lots of ways aside from blood but the later ports were fine Earthworm Jim is absolutely better on MD but there were other versions for MCD, PC, etc that are further improved. none of them are fun

i think of them all as genesis games, also boogerman

MD version has an extra level that's not in the SNES version, MCD/Windows versions have another extra level, redbook audio, lots of little visual enhancements, dumb videos, etc In Training posted:I've never played earthworm Jim but videos make it seem really boring Earthworm Jim, Boogerman, a few of the 16-bit Disney platformers were made by the same team and they all have a similar feel, they're a cut above the typical licensed/eurogamer crap of that era but the levels are mostly just filler between gimmicks and the gimmicks aren't always very good
