The hyper violence was controversial for like a week in the mid 90s. Then everyone just seemed to buy a copy of a violent fighting game, usually Mortal Kombat.

2024-06-19 19:41:26

You play a humanoid angel working for God(the real one of Christian faith, not just some god) and kill the evil minions when they spawn from their lairs. Touch the lair when the enemies are dead and you open up new paths or characters.
This motivates you to seek out the enemies and explore and develops the land and plot organically.
By the time you beat the final boss, you're not just saving the world, but saving those who harmed those close to you. All on SNES

Here's some weird food for thought for games from the late 90's to the early 00's - these games qualify as retro for this node. Chronologically speaking, they're basically closer to the video game crash of 1983 than current year, but technologically speaking, this era is way closer to modern technology than the first era of video games, like Pac Man and ET.
It'll always be hard for me totruly appreciate, but retro includes some pretty high tech stuff at this point.

Not to get political, but this involves Odysee so OP will let it slide.
The New Tech world is in its infancy right now, having only existed a short few years and being well known even fewer. Before 2020, anything other than Big Tech wasn't even theory, let alone practice.
Keep creating and watch only New Tech when you watch stuff. We went from theory to self sustaining on a small scale. This isn't for the destruction of Youtube, but to move forward. God bless

Clock Tower is a series of horror games from the 2d era that didn't really age well but were a good experience. There's a bit of the problem where making something people like created numerous ripoffs, that eventually surpassed it. Also the bad ones where you can't fight back because its "scary."
At any rate, they made a comic of the first game long ago and here it is translated for any fans!

Just thinking out loud, but emulation and modding basically resolve 95% of the issues with modern day gaming. A lot of people complain about one or two issues that are shoe horned into stuff, but if you emulate and mod it, then you can tailor it to your specifications. Everyone wins!

2024-05-23 03:39:11

The best game is LotR: Two Towers on the GBA, though to be honest the The Return of the King is probaby much the same judging by the video.
I really encourage people to hook up a controller to an emulator and give this one a peek; I don't care for the 3D versions but the 2D is polished gameplay.
My only gripe is that people who aren't holding the One Ring can get invaded by Naz Gul, which doesn't really make sense from my normie perspective.

Off topic but thinking out loud does anyone really care about stopping emulation and piracy at this point?
Efforts to stop it were laughable back in the 00s, but bandwidth and hardware made the larger files cumbersome and require effort to find.
All these years later it seems an odd host here and there goes to jail but it remains unimpeded and better than ever to emulate games before the PS3 era. Games past that point are difficult to emulate so that's a nonissue.

A word to the wise - for SNES9X, you can plug in a PS4 controller and connect its buttons to the controller input and emulate an SNES using a modern controller.
The same goes for DuckStation to play PS1 games.
For Windows, you'll need DS4Windowsd for Linux, you'll need DS4DRV from Github.
Let me know if you want assistance. Can we keep a running list of emulators that can accept controllers? Its just a matter of getting the computer to accept button input.

I'm slowly making a backup library of all good roms from before the PS3, provided they haven't had a better remaster. Unfortunately, everything seems to screw up speedwise once you get to the PS2 era.
Also with PS2, I'm going to point out the better known games and lose the hipster cred. People start remembering games from this era.

Back when physical media was the standard, swapping stuff was all the rage. Most people didn't hold on to too many old games and people loaned friends their games like women loan out clothes.

I've brought this up a few times, but just having better hardware made many of these games better even if the core concept was perfectly good the first time

Do a video on that please. We should be doing rom hacks that are actually good for something.

Someone was talking about Star Fox the other day. I never got into it until the N64, as the SNES was a bit laggy and not really geared towards 3D.
Star Fox 64 had fully voiced characters, to give a personality to each character and a reason to kill Slippy.
Unfortunately, fan girls are gonna fan girl and this was created from nothing but actual script.
