How did they ever pick that guy to do the score for John Carpenter's the Thing?

 Mon Dec 01 17:51:15 +0000 2014

He did a lot of work in general, but I think they should have left The Thing be.

 Mon Dec 01 17:54:13 +0000 2014

It is, but I think most memorable parts are Carpenter's cues added after the fact. The overall score is nothing special.

 Mon Dec 01 17:57:56 +0000 2014

It's mostly just chaotic strings, only on occasion forming into something memorable, like the horns when they find the ufo.

 Mon Dec 01 17:58:52 +0000 2014

I think it's a fine stylistic choice, bit because overall it's now Carpenter's synths + Morricone's real instruments depending on

 Mon Dec 01 18:08:11 +0000 2014

a scene, the score doesn't feel like a coherent whole. I think Carpenter would have done just fine on his own.

 Mon Dec 01 18:09:02 +0000 2014

He was forced into it by Universal, so he ended up picking a guy he wanted to work with.

 Mon Dec 01 18:12:20 +0000 2014

I generally like all composers who made scores for Carpenter's studio films. But I think The Thing bothers me more because it

could have been all Carpenter ultra-minimalistic synth score, but as Morricone's work it's nothing special. A lot of Morricone's

Highway Hunter (aka Highway Fighter) was actually picked up by Epic Megagames and thus is most well known. Russian version also exists.

So I've had lots of fun with Boppin' last night. I'll probably play through the entire thing over the next couple months.

 Thu Dec 04 14:45:10 +0000 2014

Why months? Because I like playing these sorts of games in short sessions. And I'm also too stupid for puzzle games.

 Thu Dec 04 14:45:55 +0000 2014

I still don't get why it's not included in the 3D Realms Anthology. Although absence of Kroz games is even more baffling.

It's an Apogee title. The one that started it. Scott Miller is still involved with the new 3D Realms.

 Sat Dec 06 12:40:08 +0000 2014

They are different. Alien is beautiful because it's a Ridley Scott film, but The Thing looks very classical. Carpenter stages his

 Sat Dec 06 12:44:10 +0000 2014

Carpenter said numerous times, that although he's used to his movies not being accepted in America & getting bad press, this

was the one that hurt the most. He was also never allowed this much control while making a studio film (not that he did that often)

Good morning, good people of Twitter! I see I have a bunch of new followers. Well, I hope you like DOS games!

 Sat Dec 06 13:43:40 +0000 2014

Thoughts on last night: I didn't watch the VGAs because, you know, fuck that. But I did watch the Sierra bit in YouTube.

 Sat Dec 06 13:45:00 +0000 2014

It was awesome seeing Ken & Roberta on stage. They seemed to be quite surprised to be in a room full of kids.

 Sat Dec 06 13:45:50 +0000 2014

Sierra was the American dream incarnate & left many of us with precious childhood memories.

See? I don't always have to hate on Sierra!

And now thoughts on games I replayed yesterday. If I can remember them all.

 Sat Dec 06 13:54:57 +0000 2014

Wing Commander 3 is, well, Wing Commander 3. Awesome fmv, great space action, cool story. Lots of fun.

 Sat Dec 06 13:56:07 +0000 2014

Magic Carpet. Well, it's still buggy. And difficult. Couldn't get the sound working in floppy version. CD one seems to work okay.

 Sat Dec 06 13:57:23 +0000 2014

Magic Carpet looks great though. If you're into fast paced action games that kick your ass, I highly recommend it.

 Sat Dec 06 13:58:00 +0000 2014

It's also rather processor sensitive & a pain in the ass to get working right in DosBox.

 Sat Dec 06 13:58:43 +0000 2014

 Sat Dec 06 14:00:21 +0000 2014

I'm still not impressed with One Must Fall 2097. The music is great, but I don't much care about the rest. Sorry.

 Sat Dec 06 14:01:08 +0000 2014

Qurantine is great until you lose your fare because you were trying to turn around & ended up bouncing between two cars like a pinball.

 Sat Dec 06 14:02:32 +0000 2014

Yeah, also never cared for it. Played a bit a week or so ago and nope, still don't care.

 Sat Dec 06 14:03:15 +0000 2014

I also still don't care about Theme Park. Because I've got Theme Hospital and I don't give a fuck!

 Sat Dec 06 14:06:23 +0000 2014

DOS version of Night Trap has great video quality. That is all.

 Sat Dec 06 14:08:11 +0000 2014

And Mystic Towers is still pretty damn awesome. I don't know why I haven't touched it since the 90s. Need to play more.

 Sat Dec 06 14:10:41 +0000 2014

That's it for me. Now it's your turn to tell me about DOS games you've played recently! #MorningDOSTalk

I mean in all honesty Day of the Tentacle doesn't really need an update. Grim had room for improvement, but not so much DOTT.

First remake was made behind their back. Two remakes is nothing. Disney already made deals with GOG & DF.

I love it when people say that. Look at Broken Age & then look at, let's say, Gabriel Knight Anniversary.

The difference in production quality is staggering. Of course 2 mil wasn't gonna be enough. They overshot.

If DOTT is going to be just a simple touch up, I'd gladly go for Full Throttle update with less painful action sequences.

Yes, but will modern generation accept a low res animated 2d game is the question.

That would be a lot of money. And judging by the Grim update, Sony isn't THAT generous.

 Sun Dec 07 15:00:23 +0000 2014

I think Tim said that it would be double the size because of the second daughter who was supposed to be super rich.

 Sun Dec 07 15:01:12 +0000 2014

Seeing how Grim update isn't that expensive, I don't doubt it. And if they do, I hope it's better quality than MI SEs.

 Sun Dec 07 15:03:07 +0000 2014

Oh yeah, these new cartoons barely even have any animation in them. DoTT is still great, but still low res.

You're very pro-DoTT all of sudden. What happened?

 Sun Dec 07 15:05:59 +0000 2014

Full Throttle

How that I know that the project was basically done behind LA's back, yes, that explains a lot

 Sun Dec 07 15:15:33 +0000 2014

But even then, I'm not too crazy about MI2 either. And DOTT update would require more as far as animation goes.

 Sun Dec 07 15:16:09 +0000 2014

idk, I'm just a bit more concerned about DOTT because it's my favorite adventure game.

Dark Forces!

 Sun Dec 07 15:26:18 +0000 2014

What makes it difficult is that now you have to add a whole another game onto your new multiplatform engine.

 Sun Dec 07 15:26:59 +0000 2014

In DOTT, Maniac Mansion was just a com file that was run by a shell command. Easy. Not so easy to port.

 Sun Dec 07 15:27:47 +0000 2014

Yes, very much for the reasons I described.

 Sun Dec 07 15:28:56 +0000 2014

You can still add it as a separate game in ScummVM though, it just can't run a game within a game.

 Sun Dec 07 15:29:45 +0000 2014

if they go the MI se route technologically. And not, let's say, remake the game using BA's new tech.

 Sun Dec 07 15:30:47 +0000 2014

Random facts about me: I haven't played a Civilization game since the 90s. Latest Civilization game I played was 2.

 Mon Dec 08 22:46:57 +0000 2014

I once lost MONTHS of my life to Civilization 2. Then I decided - no more.

 Mon Dec 08 22:47:39 +0000 2014

I have briefly tried Alpha Centaury & Colonization, but managed to resist.

 Mon Dec 08 22:48:14 +0000 2014

I think I own a whole bunch of Civilizations on Steam too. Never even installed them.

 Mon Dec 08 22:48:44 +0000 2014

The game is fucking DANGEROUS, people.

So yeah, between Civilizations 1 & 2 Sid Meier made a sizeable chunk of my life disappear. But I'm not falling for his tricks anymore.

I'm finally home. I should be playing DOS games. I think I'm just gonna go alphabetical for the remainder of my list.

Yes, I'm playing 60 games from 1994 to make a recap video before the end of the year.

Also Billy Zane is overacting horribly.

Some special effects in 2 & 3 are still pretty mindblowing though. Especially these complicated split-screens & composits.
