Shadow Man Remastered - 120 Dark Souls This is one of those games that I was always interested in when it was current on the N64, but I never got around to getting it. The Remaster was a very nice surprise so I grabbed it, and played it with a friend who was also interested. We ended up really liking it! I'm an absolute sucker for exploration, and this game has that in droves and then some. Good stuff: + going "ah poo poo we never ended up going in this hole, did we?" and finding that last Dark Soul in an area + finding the second Violator and dual-wielding the supermachineguns + atmospheric as hell + the writing is over-the-top corny in just the right way + really like the overall progression + pacing super strong until the very end Eh stuff: - combat is p boring, most things have too much health and once you get the shield, it's basically solved - no ingame map, eventually you'll just get lost as hell - some obscure progression stuff we had to look up because we just didn't get it - the real life locations suck. The Remaster added two new areas and I can see why they were cut in the original, but also the originally-there apartment complex for example is absolutely terrible to navigate, insanely boring (no enemies, just thousands of tiny rooms to get lost in) and the bosses at the end are mountains of HP and zero fun to fight Generally a strong recommendation to try out when it's one sale, of the 26 hours we played we had great fun for at least 20 of them, the rest were getting lost and refighting boring enemies. I'll take that ratio any day for such a cool-looking game, very strong art and design that still holds up.

trying to jack off posted:the n64 version ive had since i was a kid came with a physical map  we consulted that a lot, or rather the updated one for the remaster:  For overworld navigation, it's fine and it helps a lot to see where your next progress point and possible upgrades are. For inside the levels, not so much - though I don't know what an "ingame map" for those could actually look like unless you go full Metroid Prime, which would take away a lot of the "oh lol we're back in this room" moments. It's mostly fine, but there were definitely a few cases where I went through an entire huge level in circles three times before I realized that I'd never taken one specific door, or - embarrassing example - where I didn't realize that there's not one giant lava room with a rotating churner-blade setpiece, but two that look identical.

Lode Runner this was a pretty cool puzzle game in the vein of Wrecking Crew. gold is scattered throughout the level, as are enemy guards. you can move, climb ladders, climb horizontally along ropes, and eliminate a brick block that is immediately underneath you; they reappear after a few seconds. you can fall as far as you want. you lose if the guards get you, if your brick reappears in a space that you're inside, or if you get stuck in an area that you can't escape from (this is easy to do, on purpose). sometimes there are invisible holes that both you and guards will fall through if you try to walk on them (this is surprisingly not as annoying as it sounds most of the time). if the guards end up in a brick as its reappearing, they respawn, but they can also easily get stuck. there's a lot to do with those basic concepts! personally, i don't think there is 150 levels of it, though, so i'm glad i played the NES port, which only has 50 levels. that felt just about right. when you beat the game, it just loops back to the beginning - no ending. i was curious if there was supposed to be a story, so i read the instruction booklet - apparently you are supposed to be a galactic rebel stealing unfair food taxes back from the vaults of an evil empire, lol. interestingly, there's a level editor, which i think would have been pretty revolutionary at the time. it feels pretty clunky now, and the main game feels like it explored most of the interesting things that you can do with the mechanics, with more screen room than the level editor has. still, it's a very early example of letting players make their own content, and probably the most impressive thing about the game. some complaints: often the puzzle aspect is figuring out how to dig into a set of bricks to get some gold without locking yourself in, which is fine, but on a few levels, the solution for getting out is falling through an invisible hole. that sucks. the difficulty curve on this is also weird. there are levels in the teens and 20s that are middle-of-wrecking-crew hard, but most of the levels after 40 just involve moving quickly to capture the guards, and the puzzles sort of start to fizzle out. also, in wrecking crew, you could pause and pan over the screen to plan. while it's not as necessary in lode runner, there are levels where it would have helped (i believe this is unique to the NES port, as you can see the full screen on the apple 2 version). next up: Raid on Bungeling Bay, which sounds like it was designed purely to give imps an opportunity to make fun of its name.

A shoots the gun, B drops bombs. it is slow to turn. it is slow to speed up. it is slow to slow down. your bullets have very little range and they're also slow. the bombs are so slow and finicky, i had difficulty telling when i had run out of them. in general, your inputs feel like they are being relayed by a game of telephone in a fast-moving combat that requires a lot of strategy to defend your own base while attacking the enemy. i thought the instruction manual was wrong about how to refuel because of how difficult it is to land on your carrier. the factories themselves do not particularly stand out compared to the design for the rest of the buildings and they don't respond differently when you bomb them (until they finally explode, and some of them have more hits than you have bombs), so for a long time i thought they were not factories and kept searching. the factories also regenerate while you're not actively attacking them, which can really gently caress you over. eventually i memorized where all the factories were and drew myself a rudimentary map, and was able to eke out a win, although i still ended up speeding past my objective often and wanting to throw my hat on the floor and stomp on it like diddy kong. the map:  i think all this needed to be a good game was intuitive, responsive controls, but as it is, it feels like playing a real time strategy game with a broken keyboard. there's a reason will wright preferred loving around with the level editor to playing the game, and it's because the level editor was the basic starting point for sim city. e: next up is ring king, which i expect probably got eclipsed by punch out, since that came out the following month.
