Watching @IkiFoo' X-COM let's plays makes me want to play Laser Squad. Why Laser Squad? Because I suck at X-COM.

 Mon Sep 01 14:25:45 +0000 2014

I loved Laser Squad since the ZX Spectrum days. The DOS version came so much later & is very different from others http://www.mobygames.com/game/laser-squad/screenshots

 Mon Sep 01 14:29:02 +0000 2014

My only beef with DOS Laser Squad is that aiming is done on a special top down abstract view a-la Hero Quest. Breaks the immersion.

 Mon Sep 01 14:31:41 +0000 2014

Anyway, I highly recommend Laser Squad on any platform. Lots of fun.

other on the back. And in case with this doc, the first 40 minutes is basically spent counting money. But overall, as far as

 Fri Sep 05 17:06:53 +0000 2014

talking heads docs go, it was informative & very well put together. I didn't really learn anything new even though I wasn't

into the usual traps of presenting their topics like the greatest things since sliced bread, which is okay, but I would prefer

something a little deeper. A lot of those docs are just long fluff pieces. This one wasn't that, but came pretty close.

Basically just about every Japanese DOS game I'm familiar with was originally a PC-88/98 title.

 Sun Sep 07 13:38:39 +0000 2014

The best part of Phantasmagoria is the splitting head effect. I'm not joking.

 Sun Sep 07 14:13:20 +0000 2014

That effect is better executed than anything else in that game.

 Sun Sep 07 14:14:01 +0000 2014

yeah, I was caught of guard by a competent effect in that game. Demon ripping get face off is good too, but not as effective.

 Sun Sep 07 14:21:22 +0000 2014

If you're working on an FMV game, please PLEASE avoid showing people going through doors, waking towards things, slowly looking around, etc.

 Sun Sep 07 14:24:30 +0000 2014

Nah. In movies you almost never see people travel. Long actions are almost always edited to appear quicker.

 Sun Sep 07 14:27:47 +0000 2014

Phantasmagoria is a great example of what not to do. My "favorite" bit is when she walks down the spiral staircase for the

 Sun Sep 07 14:28:35 +0000 2014

first time. The clip is 30 seconds long! That's THIRTY seconds!

 Sun Sep 07 14:29:13 +0000 2014

Yes, and that's why something like Simon the Sorcerer is damn near intolerable. Most Sierra games had a speed setting.

 Sun Sep 07 14:32:52 +0000 2014

It's not an effective use of the medium. What is it supposed to convey to the player? It's just tedious.

 Sun Sep 07 14:33:52 +0000 2014

Exactly.

 Sun Sep 07 14:34:50 +0000 2014

Yeah, it sucked apart from the first chapter. Heavy Rain is also a great example why this idea is shit.

Allegedly.

Zanthia from Legend of Kyrandia 2 is possibly the best female protagonist in early 90s adventure games #MorningDOSTalk

Partly due to her being juxtaposed with Marco, who's a moron :D

It's very niche, unfortunately. PC is not recognized as a retro platform & most retro communities pretend that DOS doesn't exist

 Thu Sep 11 00:15:38 +0000 2014

The theory is that we're still using PCs, so the platform doesn't have the same nostalgic attraction like dead platforms.

 Thu Sep 11 00:18:04 +0000 2014

This, of course, is part of the reason for sure, but it's also completely not true. DOS is the platform, not PC.

I can actually blast through AW in about 15 minutes. One of my favorite games of all time.

Today on #MorningDOSTalk we're talking about games that take place underwater or feature prominent underwater sequences. Name a few!

All hail Night Dive Studios.

Can we stop putting Marathon on the best fps lists now, please?

 Fri Sep 12 14:43:36 +0000 2014

Marathon was loved for pretty much the same reason Halo was - it was the best available option on that platform & people didn't know better.

 Fri Sep 12 14:44:46 +0000 2014

You know what Bungee game is unfairly forgotten? Myth!

It was a poor man's Doom & little else.

I own it on Steam, so I should probably try playing co-op one of these days. People say it's cool.

So I was looking up Snatcher on different platforms last night & the FM music from the PC-88 version sounds fucking fantastic!

I'm having a very hard time picturing System Shock multiplayer, but who knows. I like co-op games & there aren't many of those.
