>Mario? Overrated>Sonic? Lame>Crash Bandicoot? Shite>Manic Miner? MASTERPIECE
it's weird that sometimes on youtube you find british zoomers talking about the early 80s videogame crash because they're regurgitating american history they heard somewhere else rather than re-telling you their father's stories of waiting an hour for zniggy to load off a cassette or laboriously reading a book and typing out the code in it to play zniggy 2

>>729052141>*SIPP* I used to program my own Commodore 64 games in BASIC as a kid yep I'm pretty hardcore pretty much a computer savant I think in binary
>oi m8 dat merry-o gaem is facking bollocks, betta play dizzy the adventurer now that's a brilliant gaem.
>>729052881>:there are zoomers decepit enough to pass as having grown up taping games off "the telly"
for me it's 'me amstrad
>>729052061Banjo & kazooie is just a 3D ZX spectrum game
>>729052061I thought I was on /vr/ for a second
British home computing was quite something
i like playing with me bbc micro
>>729052061Kino, these games are underrated. Too bad that they filter like 90% of retro gamers
>>729052061>and now we will talk about this super rare obscure computer i have no experience with, the MSX*sold over 6 million units worldwide
>>729058947The difference is MSX machines actually had good games because they had Japanese devsWestoid devs only started making good games in 92-93
>>729059227Yep.But every "retro youtuber" treat it like some sort of obscure alien device, when it's fucking common worldwide.As it didn't did well in the US, it does not exist (tm).
>>729059357Yep, and these youtubers shape how most people see retro gamesBecause of that most people end up with a warped idea of video games where huge parts are just missingYou end up with absurd shit like Square being an extremely well known developer but nobody knowing what a PC-88/98 is
>>729060416It's quite bad.Also the whole "MSX2 can't do scrolling" shit that gets repeated over and over
bloody hell
>>729052141This is literally just Guru Larry.
While I absolutely appreciate that with games on tape, you can buy (and copy) games with actual pocket money, I've never seen a C64, ZX, CPC 464 game that doesn't look like the jankiest fucking thing to play.I'm sure there are good games, but I'm picking a Sega Master System over everything I've seen.

American gets filtered by Speccy kino:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7xpKkgIIvM
>>729060416Holy shit, this>Heard all my life that Zelda CDi was the worst thing ever, practically unplayable>Finally play both WoG and FoE for myself when the CDi finally got a good FPGA core>It's a bit awkward with some weird jumps, really could have used a third button but is generally forgiving in difficulty and easy to beat>End up actually enjoying it and its soundtrack>Wouldn't call it a masterpiece, or even a great game but it was definitely worth experiencing for the hell of it
Anyone knows any decent Youtube channel about British/Euro computer gaming?
>>729053149and these days they all identify as non-binary
>>729062304https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2uV440Jc8A
>>729063583Yes, the psyop created to kill all hackers to stop shit like linux and coreboot from being made is pretty strong.
>>729063062Does Ahoy count?
>>729064126Will check out
>>729052061Speccy influenced all the British devs who made your favorite game in the ps1 or ps2 era
>>729062304Why does listening to this make my eye hurt?
>>729063062Guru Larry and Ashens when they talk about it.
>>729062498Why do Americans always sound so whiny? This bloke's nasally voice makes me want to punch him in the nose.
>>729058421>BBC>it's micro
>>729065507Already know them but these days they don't really talk about that stuff
>>729065726Well that's it. Everyone else is either a nonce, a troon or both.
>>729060416>You end up with absurd shit like Square being an extremely well known developer but nobody knowing what a PC-88/98 isNo, it makes perfect sense. Things that only exist in Japan simply don't exist. PC-88 only exists in Japan, therefore it's not a thing.
>>729065507Guru Larry is too autistic for me.Try Game Sack and Ahoy
>>729065836>Game SackToo American, his sense of humour is unparsable to me. His mate was alright, but he banished him from the channel for some reason.
>>729065786>troonI would genuinely be able to ignore that and just enjoy the content if it wasn't for the voice
