 I wanted this so much. When finally pirated it years later, I was quite confused about the structure of the whole thing, and definitely would be even more as a kid. Still, quite good piece of software, it's very limited and yet flexible with few workarounds, the biggest limitation being stored variables - I think only three could be stored, but you could kinda cheat with score and lives counters. You could even get some kind of scrolling with creative use of moving sprites.

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:no clue. it didn't seem like a standard emulator or anything. i imagine it was something proprietary, and maybe slightly illegal. I remember playing this remake in 2002, I think. It definitely wasn't an emulator with bundled rom, like somewhere you can still find Genesis Ghouls n Ghosts with rom and Kega Fusion configured to autorun the game.

Casimir Radon posted:I can't really estimate how much time I wasted on Newgrounds. I was a kid so I couldn't afford to buy games all the time, and Newgrounds seemed really edgy. Funny considering that flash is on the way out and all this stuff could easily disappear forever. The day when I've discovered the program to download the swf files was great. I could finally download all those "kill celebrity (or Bin Laden) games. There was a fighting game where you could make your own character by swapping various torsos, heads etc. so you could have Optimus Prime with dual lightsabers and Blade's trenchcoat. When the very first Alien Hominid game was released, I couldn't believe how they could squeeze so much animation and fluid controls into the thing.

Bob Pape wrote a great book about the hardships of making the ZX Spectrum port of R-Type. Highly reccomended read, not only because he dives into various issues about gamedev itself, but also it show how amateurish the whole industry was back in the day (at least in the UK). It's a freely downloadable PDF and Kindle file: http://bizzley.com/ I've read the whole thing yesterday, it's incredible, in the same way the game itself turned out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiQxq98OYfA laserghost has a new favorite as of 23:12 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Inscape were the undisputed kings of weird CD-ROM multimedia games/things. They made The Residents game, a Devo one, and even one written by conspiracy theory nut (Drowned God). 7th Level tried to have some of this multimedia pie earlier, and created the more cartoony games, like Arcade America or Battle Beasts. Those were pretty impressive on Win 3.11 machines, but played quite awful.

sinking belle posted:Machinae Supremacy are a pretty good internet relic themselves. Long ago, way before they started putting out increasingly dire full-length albums, they used to put up every new song they did for free download, available in mp3 AND ogg! Discovering MaSu those 10-12 years ago was incredible. Finally some dudes who can play good rockin music *and* cover SID tunes. I remember pirating their first, super-hyped full length album (now also freely downloadable) and being massively disappointed how mundane the songs were. They still managed to record an incredible medley of Pinball Illusions tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlFXjOTTwnI SID music is still being made by legit dudes who know their poo poo and can do magic like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO0QoAmLtn4 And let's not forget about folks who last year made whole compilation of chiptune Iron Maiden covers, for both Amiga *and* Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEG3fdV6Ra4

Sega ported a lot of their games to PC during the Saturn era, even relatively obscure Enemy Zero, which I luckily grabbed for cheap two years ago. Those ports were also really good and games looked way better than on Saturn. Too bad Die Hard Arcade and Nights were ommited, but we got... Bug!(?) Some Genesis games were also converted, all Sonic games, Comix Zone and CD version of Ecco.

TotalLossBrain posted:Did anyone here play MDK? MDK was one of the first "next-gen" games I saw, when we moved from the old 486 25mHz in 1997, and on screenshots in magazine it looked like a game from goddamn future. I actually enjoyed the full game a lot after buying at GOG, and even later bought the OST CD (composed none by megalomaniac Tommy Talarico himself) on auction. Good game. Need to get into the sequel one day.

Gonzo the Eggman posted:As I recall, "MDK" was an acronym for one of two things: "Mission: Deliver Kindness" or "Murder Death Kill" Martians Deny Kidnappings! Re: soviet bloc computers  Elwro 800 Junior was an interesting yet failed attempt at making a ZX Spectrum-compatible school computer in the final months of communist regime in Poland. With suite of translated programming languages (Logo and Pascal), Basic interpreter, network capabilities, ZX work mode, CP/J as operating system, the machine remained a fail-prone curiosity. Teacher's computer even had proper built-in floppy drive. That weird handle thing? It's here because the cases were repurposed from notorious kiddie electronic piano made by the same company. Elwro actually was an incredible company forced to make computers in the dumbest country in Eastern Europe. Their train-controlling computers were working flawlessly well into 00's, the last Odra 1305 being shut down in 2010

Quote-Unquote posted:There was The Game Factory, which was the actual successor to Klik n' Play (from the same developer) that allowed you to do some pretty cool stuff like having large, scrollable/open-world maps (Klik n' Play only allowed single screen) and .ini files that if you were smart you could use as a rudimentary database, allowing you to keep high scores and saved-game states. TGF really looked like a serious tool compared to KNP. I had a ton of various games made with it downloaded, some of them were very impressive, like the Alien Breed clone with destroyable walls. Before KNP there was another program - Click & Create, for making presentations, kiosk interfaces etc., but I've seen some simple games made with it. Multimedia Fusion was major breakthrough in the amateur gamemaking. The very first game I saw made in MF was a very simpe, yet functional real-time strategy. I used to check religiously Home of the Underdogs, waiting for new titles from Fallen Angel Industries, Natomic, KonamiG and other game-making stars. I remember Construct being considered vaporware, because it was announced, like 2-3 years before being fully released. laserghost has a new favorite as of 15:23 on Feb 8, 2016 |

The Kins posted:Before Klik 'n' Play, the guys who made that made AMOS BASIC for the Amiga. Wow, that's neat. AMOS was the basis of a lot of late Amiga releases, occasionaly even commercial ones, but mostly freeware/PD. Also apparently Click & Create was an expanded Klik n Play, with added scrolling function. Shame it wasn't avaiable as an upgrade for KNP.
