Whoa. The year is 2016, and I just now learned about an easter egg in Battle City (1985), one of the 1st games I ever played on a Famiclone

 Sat Oct 01 04:51:14 +0000 2016

"I think Duke Nukem 3D is one of those games that history kind of overlooked..." WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 Sat Oct 01 05:46:44 +0000 2016

So more Duke Nukem World Tour thoughts based purely on videos: new stuff looks good. Old sfx do seem to be really muffled for some reason.

More on that: imo Roberta having finished didn't mean the programmers were, plus this comes from a big PCjr promo piece, ...

 Thu Oct 06 19:05:13 +0000 2016

and seeing how it was published in Jan, I'd say the interview was taken shortly after the PCjr announcement and at that point

 Thu Oct 06 19:05:52 +0000 2016

I'd assume NOTHING mentioned in the piece was actually complete. They were probably projecting for when the piece would go out

So now that I have been using Patreon as a content creator for 2 months, I think I can honestly say that it mostly sucks.

 Thu Oct 06 19:29:44 +0000 2016

Everything it provides is so incredibly bare-bones. No options for polling patrons, or any convenient communication really.

 Thu Oct 06 19:30:58 +0000 2016

And nearly everything is broken. From message notifications to its basic .CSV spreadsheet export.

 Thu Oct 06 19:31:49 +0000 2016

Its funds transfer system is really shitty. Especially considering the amount their are charging for it.

 Thu Oct 06 19:33:08 +0000 2016

Patreon is great when you're a patron. That side I have no issues with for years. Very convenient. But once you're on the other end it's D:

A lot of them were unfair either on purpose, or because of some design fault. I can forgive the later, but not the former.

 Sat Oct 08 08:01:16 +0000 2016

I must point out that sometimes there are games that are unfair and broken and YET are still awesome. X-COM being the best example of that.

 Sat Oct 08 08:02:55 +0000 2016

The moment of realization that you're getting the upper hand in X-COM is a moment of real triumph. You feel like you fucking earned it.

 Sat Oct 08 08:03:48 +0000 2016

There would be no proper X-COM experience without you failing you first mission miserably ten times in a row.

 Sat Oct 08 08:05:08 +0000 2016

Times were different. Also we didn't have as many iterations of gameplay/genres as we do today.

 Sat Oct 08 08:07:52 +0000 2016

In some cases punishing the player was deemed a good thing. Sierra is the best example of that philosophy.

 Sat Oct 08 08:08:19 +0000 2016

Incidentally this is the reason the new X-COM will never feel the same as the old one. Because you'll never fail each mission x20 times.

My point exactly

As have I. I'm sure someone already brought up Computer Gamer and TV Gamer magazines

 Wed Oct 12 00:12:35 +0000 2016

Ok, here's this: How many 80s gaming magazines that NEVER used the word "gamer" do u

I have said, I've seen it. And I have also suggested looking at mags that DIDN'T use

it. Or, you know, checking three magazines themselves. That's not how words in

 Wed Oct 12 01:10:43 +0000 2016

culture work. Not only there are many words that change meaning over time, but I,

 Wed Oct 12 01:11:04 +0000 2016

for example, read a gaming mag called The Great Dragon, where they referred to their

 Wed Oct 12 01:11:31 +0000 2016

audience, stupidly, as dragons. I'm not gonna defend THAT term as anything.

 Wed Oct 12 01:12:19 +0000 2016

I agree that word was used before, *but* gaming press started largely referring to

 Wed Oct 12 01:25:35 +0000 2016

players as "gamers" and companies began to buse that word all over the place in

 Wed Oct 12 01:26:14 +0000 2016

advertising only in the 90s. And it's the 90s when the biggest commercial push for

If you can read Russian, here's a story of creation of this legendary Russian DOS game. Direct from the author: https://geektimes.ru/post/124363/

 Thu Oct 13 20:07:18 +0000 2016

I'm pretty sure this game is the first time I've seen a Russian email being mentioned. It was local too.

$695 of 1987 money is about $1,474 today.

 Thu Oct 13 22:40:07 +0000 2016

Valid point, but what I'm saying is that if you're family had a computer in the late 80s, most likely games wasn't its primary function. https://x.com/RetroSwimAU/status/786697864281985026

I bet they do. Probably still a favorite of village tv and old ladies in general

 Fri Oct 14 00:31:02 +0000 2016

There was not many other options. AdLib dropped the same year. Composers were familiar with MIDI, so it was a nice option.

 Fri Oct 14 00:41:58 +0000 2016

Sierra did push the MT-32 pretty heavily.

 Fri Oct 14 00:42:26 +0000 2016

Sierra was the official distributor of MT-32 for computer users. They offered a bundle with a MIDI interface

 Fri Oct 14 00:46:20 +0000 2016

As MT-32 wasn't designed as a PC device, it plugged into a midi port, which PCs obviously didn't have :)

System Shock 2 decided that the perfect ambience for it would be some phat beatz, & we still can't figure out if that was a good move or not

 Fri Oct 14 06:47:02 +0000 2016

Cue a steam of tweets where half of the people tell me that System Shock 2's music is perfect, & the other half saying they can't stand it

 Fri Oct 14 06:50:56 +0000 2016

I used to play both SS games without music. Now I play both with it. When it works, it works.

 Fri Oct 14 06:55:10 +0000 2016

But at the same time I'd say music & sfx combo in Thief works better.

Mac music isn't dynamic. It's digital audio, I believe.

 Fri Oct 14 08:08:29 +0000 2016

Wow. I would expect Mac emulation to get better during all the years when I wasn't looking.

 Fri Oct 14 08:21:47 +0000 2016

I know. So did SS1

 Fri Oct 14 08:22:09 +0000 2016

Ok. I was wrong. The music is dynamic.

 Fri Oct 14 08:39:17 +0000 2016

Verdict: Mac System Shock is not really worth it. Difference is negligible. No option for text, and have to use Space instead of right click

 Fri Oct 14 08:40:35 +0000 2016

I played it in emulator, so I can't say anything about the music since it just pipes out midi into Windows. Not quite correctly

 Fri Oct 14 08:45:25 +0000 2016

Performance is okay. My machine is very old. About the same speed as if I ran SS in DosBox in SVGA.

 Fri Oct 14 08:45:56 +0000 2016

Looking forward to see if source ports appearing.

strike "see if" out of that sentence.

Computer Gaming World, July 1989. Some prices on VGA cards. (The standard was there since 87, but it wasn't until 89 that we got VGA games)

 Sat Oct 15 08:20:55 +0000 2016

I'm fairly certain that 688 Attack Sub is considered to be the first 256 color VGA game as it was released early in 89 (review in CWG 05/89)

 Sat Oct 15 08:29:47 +0000 2016

Strange that this fact isn't plastered all over the box, and even the CGW review only mentions it in passing.

 Sat Oct 15 08:30:38 +0000 2016

It also had a flap and, you known, sides.

 Sat Oct 15 08:32:46 +0000 2016

It most certainly is Budokan.
