Oh, so apparently "remove copyrighted song" YouTube feature actually removes the actual song. And leaves everything else in.

 Thu Jan 01 14:12:00 +0000 2015

It actually removed the song from Quarantine pretty well, all the sound effects are still in place. The quality drops for a minute, but hey.

It's a very underrated game. Much heavier on RPG elements, but still a very charming game. A bit buggy though.

Yes. I find this strange as well. Really makes it difficult to avoid battles because everything moves FAST.

He gives you plenty of choices to just uppercut him to death with his taunting and such. Motaro is the real boss.

Ai cheats in pretty much every version of Mortal Kombat, but it's different in every game.

I'm by no means a Mortal Kombat professional, but I can play through MK1, 2 & 3 on default settings.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy though? Cpu fucking kicks my ass on the first or second fight on medium difficulty within SECONDS.

 Sun Jan 04 17:14:37 +0000 2015

No human being can pull off that amount of consecutive combos. Or counter your attacks that quickly. It's fucking bullshit.

 Sun Jan 04 17:15:19 +0000 2015

ai in MK2 can break you out of your moves, which is bullshit, but because every character is so different, it's easier to adjust

 Sun Jan 04 17:16:55 +0000 2015

Eh. It's still possible to block. But cpu is just straight up juggling your ass in Trilogy.

Before you buy - look up codes online. Most models allow changing region via a code that you punch in on a remote.

I'd say this is somewhat valid, BUT if you were a creator of a game that you didn't hold rights to, wouldn't you want your creation at...

 Wed Jan 07 18:18:28 +0000 2015

In terms of Coktel it's almost always better to pick the floppy version.

And I usually stick with floppy version of games that were originally distributed as floppy games as well.

 Sat Jan 10 23:39:38 +0000 2015

A lot of these "improvements" in the early days meant atrocious voice acting or shitty FMV instead of beautiful animations.

Problem with AI in 2: It can break your moves. So you'll be in a middle of an uppercut and Kung Lao will grab you.

But AI was different for every player and you could beat it if you tried a different approach and all that.

Problem with 3: AI is super dumb and shared between all players, but it can pull off moves and combos instantly, which is a

That was basically a remake

If you've never seen the original Assault on Precinct 13, I encourage you to do so. Two weeks, $150,000, one set, no pro actors. Great flick

 Wed Jan 14 15:02:41 +0000 2015

That's why I said "original"

 Wed Jan 14 15:08:44 +0000 2015

I'm not exactly a purist. I use play DOS games on DosBox. I don't think I actually turned on my DOS machine in 2014 at all.

 Wed Jan 14 16:35:30 +0000 2015

I was saying that because I felt guilty about buying a Retron 5.

 Wed Jan 14 16:40:46 +0000 2015

Ability to use cartridges & controllers is what sold me. But I still kind of feel guilty.

 Wed Jan 14 16:46:18 +0000 2015

I don't actually care so much about that. Ideally I'd buy actual consoles & flashcarts, but that's more expensive.

 Wed Jan 14 16:49:41 +0000 2015

So yeah, I was saying it because I bought a Retron 5. Yes, I know. I'm a bad person AND I DON'T GIVE A FUUUUUUUUCK!

 Wed Jan 14 16:50:36 +0000 2015

Because I'm old and fucking lazy and I'm not a purist, so it's all justified. In my head.

Not really, but I think I can justify the purchase if I rob all my friends of their old cartridges & controllers.

 Wed Jan 14 16:54:14 +0000 2015

The reason I bought a Retron 5 is because I realized that I occasionally need a break from pc games & I didn't own any consoles in 20 years.

There was ONE retro game store on Long Island that I knew of before and it was super expensive & the owner was a dick.

The upside was that you could go there and actually play games on a variety of systems & it was very cheap.

Holy fuck! One of the first Russian flightsims StormFighter (Maddox Games/Auric Vision, 1995) comes with DOS sound library source code!

 Thu Jan 15 00:41:05 +0000 2015

Libraries for Turbo Pascal 6/7, Borland Pascal and Borland C are included!

 Thu Jan 15 00:41:56 +0000 2015

YES! And also documents confirming that Another World port for Windows 3.1 was indeed handled by Maddox Games! IT EXISTS!!!

 Thu Jan 15 00:45:09 +0000 2015

I NEED IT! It contains extra music composed by Oleg Maddox! :)

 Thu Jan 15 00:47:03 +0000 2015

Maddox developed technologies licensed by Interplay, Bullfrog, Eden Group, City Information Systems and Juergen Egeling Computer???

 Thu Jan 15 00:49:06 +0000 2015

Holy fuck! It also comes with a game library "TURBO GAMES" for Turbo Pascal!

 Thu Jan 15 00:52:43 +0000 2015

Library comes with an extensive documentation and an example game as well.

 Thu Jan 15 00:55:42 +0000 2015

Also game reviews, articles about gaming in general, sound card reviews. All circa 1995.

 Thu Jan 15 00:58:14 +0000 2015

And the flightsim itself also has a map editor. I'm impressed!

 Thu Jan 15 00:59:12 +0000 2015

Of course it supports a virtual reality helmet. In 1995.

Stormfighter (Maddox Games/Auric Vision, 1995) A sort of a very fast paced arcade flighsim.

Maddox Games apparently developed games that teach typing for Interplay based on Lost Vikings, Stone Keep and Clay Fighter!

Seems like The Crow 2 is just an updated version of the first game.
