What do you think is the best looking day-night cycle in a VGA game?

 Fri Mar 01 17:06:52 +0000 2013

Had Zombi 2 blu-ray loop the menu all night, so I could rock out to the theme song every time I woke up. XD

 Fri Mar 01 18:09:22 +0000 2013

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'd don't get it.

 Fri Mar 01 18:22:33 +0000 2013

Oh. Right. I don't really like Ween that much. The bat is funny though.

 Fri Mar 01 18:27:02 +0000 2013

Speaking of the podcast, do you wanna do one in the near future?

 Fri Mar 01 18:37:33 +0000 2013

 Fri Mar 01 19:26:42 +0000 2013

I don't think i can do an hour on music.

 Fri Mar 01 19:33:24 +0000 2013

My technical knowledge of the topic is limited. Love my Adlib though.

 Fri Mar 01 19:44:40 +0000 2013

I'm afraid that it's music we're talking about, my input is gonna be limited to "remember game X? Love the music!"

 Fri Mar 01 19:48:21 +0000 2013

I'm also not very educated in games with unique control schemes, another topic that you like... :(

 Fri Mar 01 19:49:29 +0000 2013

But then again, I'm planning on talking a lot less than in the first podcast, so maybe it's for the best.

 Fri Mar 01 19:50:03 +0000 2013

I praise Callet all the time!

 Fri Mar 01 20:03:46 +0000 2013

I like the music. And i don't exactly "hate" Ween either... This reminds me, I need to capture its intro music.

 Fri Mar 01 20:11:08 +0000 2013

Except for Inca.

 Fri Mar 01 20:15:59 +0000 2013

Actually now that I think about it, early Coktel Ganges were done by Moby. Not THE Moby, of course.

 Fri Mar 01 20:17:50 +0000 2013

Callet did the Adlib renditions, but the tunes aren't his. I'll dig up the CD when i get home

 Fri Mar 01 20:20:18 +0000 2013

The resource files of Gobliiins actually contain the music, which ended up being used in those fairy tale games like Baba Yaga

 Fri Mar 01 20:21:52 +0000 2013

Indeed. The CD version rocks.

RT @AmayirotAkago: @dosnostalgic Full Throttle. While I love DOTT's comedy and time travel zaniness, FT's got STYLE. And awesome music.

Well, it looks like DOTT is winning. I must admit, I'd also pick DOTT over FT, even though I think nothing compares to FT's style and flow

 Sat Mar 02 16:14:29 +0000 2013

Here's my every DOTT experience: Sit down, play for a couple of hours, done, get up, smile like an idiot for the rest of the day. Effortless

 Sat Mar 02 16:16:58 +0000 2013

The older I get the more annoying bike fighting in FT becomes. Also seeing a new player try it recently reminded me of all the pixelhunting.

 Sat Mar 02 16:19:38 +0000 2013

These are nitpicks, but at the end of the day these are my ONLY problems with Full Throttle. I have absolutely NO issues with DOTT. So yeah.

In the unrelated and very late news: The interface in Monkey Island: Special Edition is shit!

 Sat Mar 02 16:28:37 +0000 2013

It really bothers me that with every iteration of Monkey Island the brilliant interface gag makes less and less sense.

 Sat Mar 02 16:33:21 +0000 2013

Really? That's your issue with it?

 Sat Mar 02 16:41:49 +0000 2013

That's weird. Especially considering it came from an era when PC games didn't have full soundtracks.

I love Dizzy! Too bad the DOS versions are inferior to ones on the other platforms. #MorningDOSTalk

 Sun Mar 03 16:05:35 +0000 2013

Fantastic Dizzy is pretty awesome on PC, BUT I still remember playing it on a 286 and waiting for forever while the locations loaded.

 Sun Mar 03 16:08:55 +0000 2013

I played all of the Dizzy games on a Spectrum, with the exception of 7. Great stuff. I don't know how anyone can hate on Dizzy.

 Sun Mar 03 16:18:37 +0000 2013

I mean I can understand why a game like that wouldn't be particularly appealing now, but back then Dizzy was awesome. Never mind how unfair.

 Sun Mar 03 16:22:02 +0000 2013

In Russia it seemed like we had a million and a half Dizzy-clones for the Spectrum. And a hundred Dizzy fan games as well.

Want a really obscure title? How about a Mormon adventure game Nephi's Quest from 1990? http://www.mobygames.com/game/nephis-quest

 Sun Mar 03 16:37:36 +0000 2013

You should have done it. The World needs more Mormon games!

 Sun Mar 03 16:50:52 +0000 2013

Do you know if the people still working on it? I'm somewhat intrigued by the concept.

 Sun Mar 03 17:05:31 +0000 2013

That's a damn shame. I love checking out religious games.

 Sun Mar 03 17:08:53 +0000 2013

Adapting would have been a bitch though. Nephi mostly spends time getting the crap kicked out of him by his brothers.

 Sun Mar 03 17:24:28 +0000 2013

Things get more interesting for him later on, but in the beginning... Meh... I used to be a Mormon if you couldn't tell before.

 Sun Mar 03 17:28:15 +0000 2013

That would certainly explain the absence from the net part.

Did I mention how atrocious the 3DO version of Another World is? Well, it's pretty damn atrocious.

 Mon Mar 04 04:54:34 +0000 2013

It's bad. Badly hand painted backgrounds and new music that sucks. Awful.

 Mon Mar 04 04:59:36 +0000 2013

As far as console version of Another World go, I prefer the Sega CD one. Everything is intact (except for the credits) and cool cd music.

 Mon Mar 04 05:03:38 +0000 2013

I have it because I have all Another World versions I could get my hands on. It still plays fine.

 Mon Mar 04 05:04:16 +0000 2013

Somewhere someplace there must be copies of Win16 version of Another World by Maddox Games. I just would love to see at least a photo.

 Mon Mar 04 05:06:09 +0000 2013

And it the end of the game you get the Heart of the Alien intro with hand drawn backgrounds. Weird.

And phase don't tell me about TellTale Monkey Island games. Never played them. Mostly because I don't care.

Don't care

 Mon Mar 04 14:56:30 +0000 2013

Obviously you just need to play the first one a few more times and you'll be alright.

 Mon Mar 04 14:57:09 +0000 2013

EGA version of Monkey Island is my favorite. Even though VGA one is probably the best Lucas conversion, I'm still stunned by detail in EGA.

 Mon Mar 04 15:04:08 +0000 2013

Speaking of which, does anyone know if there are any differences between Sega CD and DOS CD releases besides the obvious technical ones?

 Mon Mar 04 15:06:32 +0000 2013

I don't know if it's still the case today, but when adventure games were dead, Monkey Island 2 was considered the high point of the series.

 Mon Mar 04 15:13:22 +0000 2013

That was outdone by the dirty sock scene in Anachronox.

 Mon Mar 04 15:14:35 +0000 2013

don't care

 Mon Mar 04 15:21:03 +0000 2013

Stopped caring for TellTale a long time ago. They got enough of my money for mediocre product already.

 Mon Mar 04 15:45:33 +0000 2013

I just find their games unfunny, tedious, short and boring. I think that's it.

 Mon Mar 04 15:51:19 +0000 2013

Is there a game with better in-engine cutscenes than Anachronox? I don't think so.

 Mon Mar 04 15:52:29 +0000 2013

That's one of Sword Master's

 Mon Mar 04 15:56:52 +0000 2013

MGS2 is basically a gigantic cutscene. They are well done, but very Japanese.

 Mon Mar 04 16:03:18 +0000 2013

I think with all the bloody dead bodies and such, it was intended to be creepy.

 Mon Mar 04 16:04:03 +0000 2013

It does, but Anachronox does facial expressions and such very well. And split screens and other cool shit.

 Mon Mar 04 16:07:06 +0000 2013

Anachronox is still better

 Sat Mar 09 13:46:02 +0000 2013

Growing up I was never into RPG games. Most were a bit too complex, required reading thick manuals and such. Wasn't my cup of tea.

 Sat Mar 09 14:02:04 +0000 2013

But somehow still managed to play all early Ultima games. They were easy to pick up, I guess. Hard as tits though.

 Sat Mar 09 14:04:09 +0000 2013

Ultima 4 was the first to really stand out with its more defined world. I always liked open environments, so I was in right away.

 Sat Mar 09 14:05:15 +0000 2013

Ultima 5 & 6 were even cooler, BUT THEN Ultima 7 arrived. And that was a MASSIVE leap in everything. The level of interactivity was shocking

 Sat Mar 09 14:08:28 +0000 2013

I always liked how Ultima broke the 4th wall and always showed that YOU were the Avatar, but U7 even took that to a new level in its intro.

 Sat Mar 09 14:14:14 +0000 2013

My first few sessions in Ultima 7 consisted of seeing how many NPCs I can kill. Good times. #MorningDOSTalk

 Sat Mar 09 14:20:19 +0000 2013

I always felt that the level of interactivity of Ultima 7 wasn't outdone untill recently. But then again, I don't really play RPGs.

 Sat Mar 09 14:25:35 +0000 2013

The only really annoying part of Ultima 7 for me is the stupid drag and drop inventory management. I know it fresh and new, but HOLY FUCK!

After 7 it was all downhill for the series. Even though I played both 8 & 9 and enjoyed certain aspects, both are a huge step down from 7.

Good morning Twitter! It's a cool New York morning where I am. How's everyone doing today? You know what genre of games I really suck at?

 Sun Mar 10 12:03:18 +0000 2013

I suck at SHMUPS. Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, whatever. I'm really bad at them. Doesn't help that they are usually extremely hard.

 Sun Mar 10 12:05:28 +0000 2013

There weren't that many good SHMUPS for DOS, my guess it's because PC wasn't all that powerful during the rise of the genre.

When I was young Darkman was one of my least favorite Sam Raimi films. The older I get the more fun it is to watch it. Great flick.

 Mon Mar 11 20:03:33 +0000 2013

Somehow Raimi managed to work within the limitations of a studio action blockbuster & created his usual zany extravaganza.

 Mon Mar 11 20:05:05 +0000 2013

He would actually pull it off again years later with Spiderman 2. Also a great comic book action flick that's unmistakably a Raimi picture.

 Mon Mar 11 20:06:20 +0000 2013

Why am I saying all this? Mostly because I really don't want to see Raimi's Oz, although as a fan I still feel like a have to.

Tim Burton's Alice was such a kick in the nuts. What could have gone wrong? EVERYTHING! This just looks like another Disney CGI cash grab.

Cutscenes, yes, are kiddie. Probably at the publisher's insistence. The game is delightfully dark.

If you're looking up Heart of Darkness on youtube right now please be aware that it has horrible kid-friendly 3D cutscenes. Ignore them plz.

The game itself is nightmarish, dark and will make you SWEAT from tension. Also some of the most beautiful low res animations ever. EVER!

Depends on the game. Duke doesn't give me problems on the third. Blood & Redneck get very tough, so I usually do the default one.

 Thu Mar 21 14:47:53 +0000 2013

Blood isn't all that hard if you know how to use your weapons.

 Thu Mar 21 14:58:52 +0000 2013

Duke, Blood & Redneck Rampage also have very good expansions by Sunstorm Interactive. All very much in style of original games.

 Thu Mar 21 15:11:19 +0000 2013

Probably Shadow Warrior, but Blood is a very close second.

 Thu Mar 21 15:17:54 +0000 2013

I haven't played any expansions for Shadow Warrior, but now that I don't really like that game anymore I don't think I've missed much.

 Thu Mar 21 15:18:59 +0000 2013

But the ones by Sunstorm were awesome!

And, of course, Extreme Paintbrawl. Considered by many to be the worst FPS of all time. I'd say the jury is still out on that one.

 Thu Mar 21 15:28:35 +0000 2013

1998 brought us NAM. A commercial version of an awesome Platoon total conversion for Duke3D. Say what you will, but I love it.

 Thu Mar 21 15:32:21 +0000 2013

NAM might have been really dated, but it had some really cool stuff. Very large maps. AND awesome deathmatch that no one played.

 Thu Mar 21 15:33:06 +0000 2013

And 1999(!) brought us the last commercial Build release - World War II GI from the creators of NAM/Platoon.

 Thu Mar 21 15:34:59 +0000 2013

Instead of ripping off Platoon, WW2GI is ripping off Saving Private Ryan. The art was a bit "better" than NAM. Although idk. I don't like it

 Thu Mar 21 15:45:42 +0000 2013

Such a shame that Blood revival project got shut down. That's one game that's in desperate need of a proper source port.

 Thu Mar 21 15:47:33 +0000 2013

My favorite Build game will always be Blood. As much as I love Duke3D, Blood is even better. In every aspect. And very creative. And fun.

 Thu Mar 21 15:48:17 +0000 2013

I actually thought it could be played as is with a few things fixed. Sort of like an ultimate test of manliness and patience.

 Thu Mar 21 15:49:18 +0000 2013

One day I will actually make a review of Blood, but at this very moment I can't run dosbox & fraps at the same time. Slow machine. It sucks.

 Thu Mar 21 15:52:34 +0000 2013

That's what it looks like.

 Thu Mar 21 15:53:35 +0000 2013

Not in Blood. It's shitty. Slows everything to a crawl. In a custom build works fine, but crashes after a minute.

 Thu Mar 21 15:54:17 +0000 2013

Yes?

 Thu Mar 21 15:57:16 +0000 2013

Oh, that's not an issue for me. My issue is recording a 3D game in 640x480 eats up so much of my CPU that I can't play anymore.
