My favorite Sam & Max thing is the short lived animated series. Although kiddied down a bit, it's the closest to Purcell's comic.

 Wed May 01 15:54:43 +0000 2013

Gonna try a different approach than usual. With notes & steps. First a couple of rooms with placeholder graphics in mspaint.

 Wed May 01 15:55:56 +0000 2013

Nah. Android thing was just me fucking around. I had a dream two nights ago that led to a game idea.

 Wed May 01 15:56:51 +0000 2013

Yeah, but since the last project I try to work with multiple platforms in mind. So potentially it could run on anything

 Wed May 01 15:58:49 +0000 2013

I'm the stuff leftover from the last project. I always end up making an engine & then doing nothing with it

 Wed May 01 16:01:19 +0000 2013

So basically if in a couple of weeks I end up with a working prototype, I'm gonna switch & try working on the gfx. If not, oh well.

The annoying problems with FEZ gameplay are really apparent. I don't understand why those issues haven't been addressed.

 Thu May 02 19:18:35 +0000 2013

Not obvious puzzles, backtracking, difficult navigation in many cases. Leads to a lot of useless running around.

It's hard to find a sci-fi blockbuster that's not pretentious about itself. Star Trek was refreshing.

And now a few things about The Catacomb Trilogy:

 Sat May 11 18:02:35 +0000 2013

Honestly, the Catacomb games were the only Wolf 3D clones I cared for. Because they offered some really cool features. Such as:

 Sat May 11 18:03:52 +0000 2013

Great use of EGA, cool graphical effects such as lightning or animated walls (especially on water levels), hub levels, weird monsters.

 Sat May 11 18:05:14 +0000 2013

Honestly, about the only thing I REALLY don't like about the Catacomb games is the field of view angle. Feels off. And turning is slow.

 Sat May 11 18:06:30 +0000 2013

RT @richardcobbett: @dosnostalgic Eh, some of the wall textures were physically painful in that game. But on the other hand, the time-stop …

 Sat May 11 18:09:26 +0000 2013

The whole Catacombs thing is on GOG now, but unfortunately the games rely on screen border flash to indicate damage. DosBox doesn't have it.

 Sat May 11 18:13:39 +0000 2013

So if you're getting hit from behind, nothing on screen will indicate that except for your health decreasing. Kind of annoying.

I fucking love NAM despite the shortcomings

And, let's face it, it took us till 2000s to figure out that first person platforming id bad, but JESUS does SW have a lot of it.

 Sun May 12 20:02:40 +0000 2013

I'm almost willing to bet that if people were playing it today, they would give us on the carpet flying bit which comes pretty early on.

 Sun May 12 20:04:32 +0000 2013

What?

 Sun May 12 20:17:42 +0000 2013

You mean for every game or every time you play the same game?

 Sun May 12 20:26:08 +0000 2013

Well, yeah. What did you expect? Default controls from the 90s.

You can also switch firing modes on a lot of weapons by pressing the same number key again. Third mode of rocket launcher is a nuke

 Sun May 12 22:15:40 +0000 2013

Just let them multiply. No biggie.

Don't shoot them. They don't like that.

Anyway, enjoy all the cool Build environment the game offers. Until you hit the platforming that is.

Turn it off. :) You can give your soldiers special commands if you "use" them while crouching.

 Mon May 13 15:56:30 +0000 2013

Also, you can press use to yet to disarm mines that you WILL be stepping on.

Sometimes it's better to just RUN if you're under fire. It's a really cool game for a total conversion.

 Mon May 13 15:59:11 +0000 2013

Also you can pick up those creates with "special" items. Sometimes it'll give you the ability to use machine guns on top of things

I can beat the first level on under 10 second with my eyes closed. I love NAM.

RT @ben_304: @dosnostalgic Kyrandia. C&C. Red Alert. Dune 2. LoL. EotB. The list goes on!

 Tue May 14 12:40:27 +0000 2013

So yeah, let's get the famous ones put of the way first. Eye of the Beholder series is a great line of dungeon crawlers.

 Tue May 14 12:41:53 +0000 2013

RT @ben_304: @dosnostalgic Command & Conquer is the entire reason I wanted to make games. I always wanted to make RTS games as a kid.

 Tue May 14 12:44:08 +0000 2013

Dune 2 might not have technically been the 1st real time strategy, but that was the game that established the genre as we know it.

 Tue May 14 12:45:55 +0000 2013

Command & Conquer took Dune 2, improved on it a little & then things haven't really changed to this day. Dune 2 established the RTS.

 Tue May 14 12:49:29 +0000 2013

Amazing game, not by Westwood though.

 Tue May 14 12:49:57 +0000 2013

The Legend of Kyrandia series are extremely good looking and sounding games. Second one is a great adventure.

 Tue May 14 12:52:25 +0000 2013

It'll be there for the rest of your life. Trust me.

 Tue May 14 12:53:58 +0000 2013

First Kyrandia game hadn't aged well. But it's still pretty. Third one... Oh man, do I hate the shitty 3D backgrounds. Why, oh why???

 Tue May 14 12:55:35 +0000 2013

Exactly. Windows had DOS way past 95, but I'd like to see you run Blade Runner in it.

 Tue May 14 12:57:27 +0000 2013

Lands of Lore series was much more adventure-puzzle-story oriented than Eye of the Beholder. Always lagged behind technologically a bit.

But besides those series Westwood developed a bunch of less known titles. #MorningDOSTalk

 Tue May 14 13:08:10 +0000 2013

Their A Nightmare On Elm St. game is not very good, based directly on the third film & extremely obscure.

Circuit's Edge is kind of like a cyberpunk Lands of Lore. It's actually pretty good, despite not looking as good as other Westwood titles.

I don't know if i can count that

 Wed May 15 18:05:13 +0000 2013

Well... That's never actually pointed out in the game, is it?

 Wed May 15 18:06:23 +0000 2013

Curtis from Phantasmagoria 2 was bisexual, but I can't count that either.

That's true. Forgot about that. Thank goodness for the undo button.

Are the AdLib soundtracks from Retro Game Music Bundle recorded off the actual sound card? Because they sound exactly like the emulated ones

 Thu May 23 21:14:48 +0000 2013

Yes, yes I often can. And of course, AdLib Gold emulation just doesn't exist.

That one I complain about too. Timing for cavefish is really annoying with unresponsive controls.

 Fri May 24 15:21:48 +0000 2013

If you know what to do on the derby, just start doing it as soon as you have the controls & everything will be fine

 Fri May 24 15:22:35 +0000 2013

My problem is not the puzzle, it's the laggy controls that prevent me from instantly solving the puzzle

 Fri May 24 15:48:02 +0000 2013

Seriously, more people hate the demolition derby in Full Throttle than the awful biker fighting bit?

 Fri May 24 15:56:40 +0000 2013

Things in Full Throttle that I spend more time on than the derby: Kicking the wall for the secret entrance.

 Fri May 24 15:58:34 +0000 2013

Yeah, get too close & get oiled. Plus watching all the animations for weapon switching. Awful

 Fri May 24 16:00:18 +0000 2013

Biker fighting is a long bit that's made annoying by awful controls

 Fri May 24 16:01:14 +0000 2013

The puzzle aspect doesn't bother me. Bad controls really screw you on cavefish. It's tiresome on repeat playthroughs.

 Fri May 24 16:05:10 +0000 2013

I play through FT every half a year. It's a very relaxing experience for me, except for the biker bit.

Steam database now has a hidden listing for Shadow Warrior Classic Redux. So Devolver is giving it the same treatment as Duke3D then?

 Wed May 29 15:03:07 +0000 2013

Now is the time to cry over the fact that the rights to Blood are owned by a different company that doesn't want a re-release of any kind

 Wed May 29 15:05:30 +0000 2013

It would be nice to have an actual port, rather than having it run in an emulator.

 Wed May 29 15:14:28 +0000 2013

Does anyone still care for people's top-something videos? I'm considering making one of my own.

There's probably a good chance

Is there also a chance for a podcast in the near future?

 Wed May 29 15:56:44 +0000 2013

My reviews are about old games & nostalgia. There's no need to rate anything that's already been around for a long time.

 Wed May 29 16:01:45 +0000 2013

Got any games left? Build test game? Duke alpha? Level editor?

 Wed May 29 16:49:21 +0000 2013

The level editor is great. Unlike most tools of that time it's intuitive & visual. Making maps was actually fun.

 Wed May 29 17:01:32 +0000 2013

I'll think about that

 Thu May 30 10:20:56 +0000 2013

Other than that I really liked the new season. I think all the changes is what the show really needed. A lot more fun than season 3 was.

 Thu May 30 10:22:16 +0000 2013

I'm sort of pissed that NONE of the plotlines got resolved. It appeared that the last few episodes were leading towards something. Annoying.

 Thu May 30 10:25:32 +0000 2013

I hope the movie has a different structure, because I don't think the format of the show would be fitting for a feature #arresteddevelopment

So it looks like DOOM is the winner of today's #GameVsGame (again?). And that would be my pick as well.

 Thu May 30 19:30:39 +0000 2013

Despite the fact that DOOM was outdone by other games in technical aspects shortly after, few games are as satisfying to play.

 Thu May 30 19:32:22 +0000 2013

Nothing compares to walking down a dark corridor & hitting a pink demon with both barrels. DOOM works on some kind of primal level.

 Thu May 30 19:34:30 +0000 2013

Having said that, when's the multiplayer getting added to Duke 3D Megaton, @devolverdigital?

 Thu May 30 19:36:48 +0000 2013

I don't like jDoom.

 Thu May 30 19:37:15 +0000 2013

Having recently replayed Duke 3D (in Megaton form) I'd like to say that I retract all statements I have previously made about episode 2.

 Thu May 30 19:38:52 +0000 2013

I prefer zDoom. It's more pure.

 Thu May 30 19:39:28 +0000 2013

The second episode of Duke 3D is a lot of fun. If you don't mind a bunch of mini-battlelords here & there.

So apparently Duke 3D Megaton Steam multiplayer is coming next month. My mighty foot is engaged & ready to be put up your ass.
