it's super impressive and easily one of the best titles on the system

that TGM3 version sounds really interesting to play with.

I think I'm putting my #ZXSpectrum raycaster to bed now that I have movement. I'm happy that it works (my first attempt at machine language) 😅. Some weird graphical glitches around certain intersections of ray path and map grid (jagged wall edges), but considering the huge approximations I made, it's not bad.
I moved it above the first 16k of memory that apparently makes it run faster and (combined with disabling interrupts) definitely does improve the refresh rate. #RetroComputing

Tormented Souls is less than £1 on Steam at the moment. Worth looking at if you're a fan of PS1/2 era survival horror.

As the tree has gone up today it's worth sharing the peak of 90's gaming Xmas broadcasting from the UK. Bad Influence's 12 days of Christmas (Violet Berlin is my hero). I remember watching this when it was broadcast.. I'm pretty sure I was lucky enough to get Sega Lock-on that year #RetroGaming https://youtu.be/2_W0lHlFsa4?si=C5IRTlF90sfHktZS

If you've never watched the live action #StreetFighter movie from 1994, you should watch this movie.
It's cheesy, nonsensical and jams a huge ensemble cast into a short movie including JCVD at his "peak" plus Kylie Minogue as Cammy. Production troubled, partially due to Raul Julia (Bison) recovering from cancer treatment and who would sadly pass away before release. Despite this, RJ gives an incredible over the top characaturish performance as Bison. It's terrible in the best possible way.

replayed the first Alan Wake last year and remembered how much I like it. Might have to give no. 2 a shot sometime if the plot is strong

Hey #gaming and #RetroGaming fedi, question for the day:
What games do you think are objectively flawed, but you like them anyway?
For me it's the #JurassicPark game from Telltale games. I can't stay mad at the game that took me back to Isla Nublar not matter how many QTE's it threw at me

Watching the X-Files last night, I couldn't help again thinking that the world needs a really good X-Files game. Resist or Serve (PS2) starts off promising, but lost me towards the end (not least because of an almost impossible final boss).
The late 90's FMV title is pretty good for the genre... And at the very least an interesting time capsule. I wrote about it a few years ago #RetroGaming https://hundstrasse.com/2019/11/22/x-files-on-playstation-dang-thats-a-lot-of-photos-of-the-inside-of-a-warehouse/

Very impulse #RetroGaming addition to the collection yesterday as I walked around the shops trying to get Nanostrasse to nap. What do we think? Any Beyond Good and Evil fans? I played it years ago on PC. Also leaving an old ePlay sticker... I miss ePlay!

Random #RetroGaming pickups from the Cardiff market today.
Yeah .. yeah, I said I'd come back with something weird. Tbh not much that was interesting to me there today. Not sure if it's because I went in at 12 rather than opening. These were buried in a good couple of boxes of import titles.

I'm going to the Cardiff Gaming Market tomorrow!! Always fun to rummage through retro games and stuff. Tbh idk what I'm currently even looking for, like I have a short list of a few obscure things, but I think I've got most of the PSP titles I want and similar for most of the other systems I have. No doubt I'll come home with something weird... Or maybe just have fun looking! #RetroGaming

Despite some of my typically bad soldering skills, this little mono amplifier does what I want it to. #ZXSpectrum audio loading needs a higher voltage output than modern audio jacks provide so I wired this up to a usb power supply and added a couple of mono jacks which means I can load from a little digital recorder. (Next toot to see it working) #RetroComputing

In the #N64 version of the game, it's also the location of one of the EX files titled Progress Report, written by William Birkin and discussing development of the Hunter. This is right next to the body of a dead Hunter which is the only place in Resident Evil 2 that you can find this classic RE enemy (albeit not exactly a threat here) 🧵

For your trouble you find a sub machine gun, which is actually kind if pointless this close to the end of the game! Especially considering the trouble it takes to find it.
BUT, if your character already picked up the machine gun then you only find some ammo for it. This is the only way (in the main game) where you can find this ammo item 🧵

... Which incidentally looks a lot like the tube containing the Tyrant from the first game, and seen in photo C . This time the lighting does match, although the details around the tube are slightly wrong with the metal cylinder being on the opposite side, but the control panel being in the correct location. Even setting aside this, I think it's supposed to be the same location, suggesting that the umbrella soldier accidentally released a tyrant... 🧵

Further into the room you find the body of one of the umbrella soldiers next to another smashed experiment tube. As the umbrella soldiers only came into the lab to recover the G virus from Birkin, I guess the suggestion is that this soldier was trying to find him and wound up getting killed by whatever broke out of the tube. 🧵

It's also very similar to the arm seen in the ingame document photo A (from developing film roll A), however the details around the tube and the lighting don't match. They ARE almost exactly mirrored though, so you could suggest that the negative was reversed when the print was made. 🧵

Inside you find a trio of the advanced lickers for your trouble. But there's also some neat environmental storytelling.
Immediately in the room there is a large glass tube containing a mutated arm, similar to the G virus mutation seen in William Birkin🧵

Along with deciding what to take from the Armoury and using the police station shutters, setting up entry to the room is one of only a few instances where a player choice in the A scenario has a direct impact on the B scenario character. 🧵

So, the only way to get here is to have your character register their fingerprint in the B5F computer room during the A scenario (1st playthrough) and then go and use it at the door. During the B scenario, the other character can do the same to enter the room as the door requires 2 fingerprints. This makes it one of the last new locations in the game. 🧵

For today's #VGMWednesday I'm going to share the B4F Culture Room music from #ResidentEvil 2 ('98). This kind of cool ambient science music can only be heard in this room of the game (sometimes just called the experiment room).
And while you're here, I'm going to share some fun facts about this area... Because I haven't talked Re2 for a little while. Walk with me 🧵#RetroGaming #Gaming https://youtu.be/NdMoB-wpEdg?si=3aNISbaFwB7enocD

Eeep! My Dad's ZX Spectrum has been repaired and is on its way back to me. If you're looking for UK #RetroComputing or #RetroGaming repairs then Claire , the https://retrorepairbear.co.uk/ is super helpful and friendly and went above and beyond!
Can't wait to get it all bleeping and blooping.
