Five days with no caffeine. Feeling pretty good actually. #SelfImprovement

 Fri Feb 01 13:31:13 +0000 2013

Played both Metal Mutant and Weird Dreams yesterday. Got all nostalgic. Anyone want to talk about these games? #MorningDOSTalk

 Fri Feb 01 14:06:22 +0000 2013

Both Metal Mutant and Weird Dreams are basically in the same genre of "keep screwing up until you figure our how to beat the level."

 Fri Feb 01 14:21:42 +0000 2013

Both games also have fantastic visuals and animation. Both are equally frustrating.

 Fri Feb 01 14:29:20 +0000 2013

Yes, hi.

Honestly, I wouldn't be able to do that even back in the old days. Redbull has caffeine in it. And I hate coke.

 Fri Feb 01 15:40:37 +0000 2013

Those look fucking amazing!

 Fri Feb 01 16:20:43 +0000 2013

Come on, people. I know you've played Weird Dreams. Someone had to. Tweet your frustrations @ me!

 Fri Feb 01 16:24:00 +0000 2013

Now that I think about it, reviews for both games are likely to happen. They are short and were minor classics in post-USSR time.

 Fri Feb 01 16:25:16 +0000 2013

I'm sure if i practice for a bit I can successfully finish both games in half hour. It's gonna be a good test for my patience as well.

 Fri Feb 01 16:26:37 +0000 2013

The "no caffeine" thing is working out great, except now I don't fully wake up till around 10 o'clock. But no headaches! Also more energy.

Hmmm... I'm not sure about "many"...

 Thu Feb 07 13:46:50 +0000 2013

I guess. It's questionable how "good" most of these games are.

Both B.A.T. games are trying so hard to be different, it gets in the way. They are still cool, though.

Keep Ripper out of this. And Chris Walken is just a tip of the iceberg in that game, btw.

 Thu Feb 07 14:10:02 +0000 2013

BAT is French, so there. Calling Ripper cyberpunk is like calling Cyberia cyberpunk. Oh wait, wrong example...

 Fri Feb 08 13:14:14 +0000 2013

The puzzles are way to confusing at times. Like killing an enemy and picking up its carcass for later.

 Fri Feb 08 13:15:38 +0000 2013

I really don't think it should even count. At least "Isle of the Dead" is an actual finished game.

Civilization is so good that after dumping months into Civ & Civ2 I promised myself that I'll never play another Civ again. And I haven't.

It always surprised me how underappreciated Colonization is. Was it because the graphics were dated? Or was it overshadowed by Civ2?

 Mon Feb 11 16:21:37 +0000 2013

Sometimes I feel people were pissed off at Colonization because they expected to try out being slave owners. And the game didn't let them.

 Mon Feb 11 16:23:24 +0000 2013

Can you have slaves in the new Civ-branded remake of Colonization? I've never played it. #SidMeier

 Mon Feb 11 16:29:47 +0000 2013

Well, yeah, but it had its moments. Trading being the biggest addition. And they remade it as Civilization Something: Colonization

Never played it, but it looks good. And, of course, it's free, so that makes it awesome.

I don't think either of these games is good. Average is more like it. But then in the FMV world that could be considered good

Thief 3 really suffered from being co-developed for consoles. Tiny maps, hubs, shitty textures.

One thing that always impressed me:Bethesda's XnGine. Lasted from 95 to 99. They squeezed out a lot out of it. http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/3d-engine-xngine

 Tue Feb 12 16:02:37 +0000 2013

And even though Future Shock was so buggy it was barely playable, it really showed off the engine. 6DOF with meshes was impressive pre-Quake

 Tue Feb 12 16:06:20 +0000 2013

My only problem with XnGine is that sprites are rendered as surfaces. Not only it's unusual for the time, it's also annoying in Daggerfall.

.@ShotupSpeako Or PL/B. But if you do work in it, please accept my deepesr condolences, you poor fucker.

I love it. And SkyNet too. Probably because you actually NEED SkyNet to enjoy it in the first place.

 Tue Feb 12 16:13:13 +0000 2013

I only take movies seriously, although I really shouldn't.

 Tue Feb 12 16:14:44 +0000 2013

Ultima Underworld and System Shock were also 6DOF, right? I can't really remember...

 Tue Feb 12 16:15:45 +0000 2013

Anyway UU/SS looked 6DOF, but it also looked like the walls were limited to a grid in all directions with a possible 45° angle.

 Tue Feb 12 16:17:51 +0000 2013

My definition of 6DOF is the engine being able to render surfaces correctly in xyz, not just vertically.

 Tue Feb 12 16:18:54 +0000 2013

Maybe. My memory isn't the best.

 Tue Feb 12 16:25:13 +0000 2013

Did Borland Turbo Basic come with a high res EGA library? Because I keep finding games like that done in it.

I personally never used Turbo Basic back inn the day because I was a 100% QBasic guy. I did, however, use both Turbo Pascal and Turbo C.

Good morning good people of the Internet! I hope everyone's doing fine. How about some #MorningDOSTalk to start the day off?

 Wed Feb 27 13:06:25 +0000 2013

How about clones? You know, various ripoffs, cash-ins and such. Sometimes made for quick buck, sometimes for concept. #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Feb 27 13:12:45 +0000 2013

BUT then there are also things like Fast Food (featuring Dizzy). A clone AND a name cash-in. http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/fast-food

 Wed Feb 27 13:18:32 +0000 2013

.@Worldslayer Mike Wiering made AWESOME Nintendo knock-offs.

 Wed Feb 27 13:20:33 +0000 2013

Supaplex is basically Boulder Dash. That doesn't stop it from being a classic game. #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Feb 27 13:23:25 +0000 2013

30 year old PC booter classic Digger is a Dig Dug rip off. Or was it Mr. Do!? #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Feb 27 13:29:45 +0000 2013

That's different. That's using a license. The show was pretty much over by the time the game dropped.

 Wed Feb 27 13:33:13 +0000 2013

How long did it take us to stop calling first person shooters Wolf/DOOM-clones or Quake-killers(?)? #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Feb 27 13:38:38 +0000 2013

Are early raycaster fps games that had nothing new to add to the concept Wolf-clones or just early representatives of the genre?

Who needs Mario Kart when you have Wacky Wheels? #MorningDOSTalk

Who needs Wacky Wheels when you have Skunny Kart? Wait, what?... #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Feb 27 13:45:22 +0000 2013

That game is pretty awful as far as I remember.

Yep. Now you're getting it.

Back when sequels were completely new games, DOOM 2 got away with being mostly a map pack. And no one complained. That's how awesome it was.

 Wed Feb 27 15:02:03 +0000 2013

If you're going to remind me that DOOM II added a whopping TWO weapons, please don't forget to mention all the new monsters as well.

 Wed Feb 27 15:08:39 +0000 2013

No it didn't.

 Wed Feb 27 15:11:57 +0000 2013

Romero saw it, but Carmack didn't. Plus they were working on Wolf at the time already.

 Wed Feb 27 15:15:12 +0000 2013

Hovertank 3D came out in 1991

 Wed Feb 27 15:23:36 +0000 2013

The raycasting is done differently in Wolf.

 Wed Feb 27 15:24:22 +0000 2013

You're really stretching it here, good sir.

 Wed Feb 27 15:30:49 +0000 2013

Please actually look at Hovertank 3D before you say anything.

 Wed Feb 27 15:33:28 +0000 2013

But here's a fucking Romero tweet addressed to YOU https://x.com/romero/status/280259187408257024

 Wed Feb 27 15:34:25 +0000 2013

Don't you just love Twitter? ;)

 Wed Feb 27 15:40:26 +0000 2013

It's also pointed out in Masters of Doom. Seeing how unflattering the book is about id at times, I'd say it's true.

 Wed Feb 27 15:42:28 +0000 2013

It was NEW, violent and easy to get into. And it had a shareware demo.

 Wed Feb 27 15:54:45 +0000 2013

Ultima Underworld wasn't as easy to get into. And yes, there were far less accessible games in 92.

 Wed Feb 27 16:04:14 +0000 2013

Not really. Wolf was optimised for speed & could run as fast as your processor would allow.

 Wed Feb 27 16:27:57 +0000 2013

Shock is hardly ahead of anything with its only 90 or 45 degree walls.

 Wed Feb 27 16:29:16 +0000 2013

It depends on how you look at it. And I tend to favor id in this case.

 Wed Feb 27 16:53:21 +0000 2013

As far as I'm concerned, SS is not that far away from UU technically and imposes more limits on maps than DOOM.

 Wed Feb 27 17:01:32 +0000 2013

I doubt there's a chart. The engines are very different and handle things in different ways.

 Wed Feb 27 17:12:06 +0000 2013

Yes, DOOM II is my favorite fps. Mostly due to creative maps.

 Wed Feb 27 17:12:59 +0000 2013

What he said.

 Wed Feb 27 17:51:03 +0000 2013

The walls are grid based. As for actually rendering verticals as proper surfaces, I don't really remember.

 Wed Feb 27 18:09:09 +0000 2013

Twitter is great. Just like all these years ago, @AveTory & I keep arguing, but this time I have celebrity backup. Thanks @romero & @br !

 Thu Feb 28 23:30:24 +0000 2013

It's wacky. It's original. 2nd one just goes insane. 3rd one is fun. 4rth one uses its limited budget wisely. It's cool.
