Because realistically, if all of that were occurring simultaneously, you'd be macro-jumping around the map too quickly to actually appreciate any of it in its entirety.

No other genre was ruined by Esports as badly as RTS was.

I finished this for the first time today, going in completely blind. And wow, this made me weep for how low the bar is for more modern survival horror games today. Tying saves to a limited resource, adding more enemies as you backtrack. Just phenomenal. Are the other games this good? The only other one I've completed was RE4.

For beginners, maybe. It's about the same for an experienced player. The Director's Cut Advanced Mode is much harder.

Top Gear 2 and Lotus II RECS

Both made by Gremlin (same blokes behind Zool: Intergalatic Ninja). They're fine and fun for what they are, RECS even has, theoretically speaking endless amounts of tracks that you can design and play. Not to mention that you can even race on the fucking moon!
>>
>>12028886
There's nothing jank about Realms of Arkania. A game not playing as orthodox as you'd prefer does not make something jank. STALKER is not jank because it's made in Eastern Europe, STALKER is jank because it works, despite being a bug ridden fucking mess.

I was messing around with the NES Friday the 13th and reading through the manual, and I realized its basically a digital board game.

Camp Crystal Lake itself looks like the board. You manage a set of counselors like pieces on the board. The map has cabins and paths acting as spaces and edges. You draw and use item cards randomly in predetermined areas. Jason moves around like an automated enemy piece.

Makes me wonder how many other NES games are like this that I'm not thinking of. Hell, people even used to call levels "boards".
>>
I think a lot of these shitty nes games that japs were hired to make have interesting concepts one could build upon. Jaws is another one that could be the basis for a neat scuba adventure rpg where you hunt for treasure, or something like Festers Quest.
>>
The precursor to video games is board games, naturally most early game designers designed vidya like glorified electronic board or card games, especially American designed ones... yes, I know this was developed in Japan, but I'm sure the actual planning was by Americans.

Previous thread: >>11986381
Rules of the thread are simple:
>You can only talk about games and systems made before the US release of the NES (1985). Everything before it from the CRT Amusement Device to stuff like Marble Madness and Kung Fu Master is cool here. Later and homebrew ports for Pre-NES games on Pre-NES systems are allowed (e.g. Jr. Pac-Man was released in arcades in 1983 but the 2600 port came out in 1986)
>That's it.
How do I git gud at arcade Battlezone? Also how do you bind that game? My binds for my Dualsense controller are okay but I wanna know if I can do better.

We hear a lot of 70s gaming in the US and Japan? But what was European gaming like in the 70s? That one driving game that was the inspiration for Atari's Night Driver is pretty much the only game I know of that came from Europe during that time, but there's gotta be more.
>>
Starting play pitfall. Originally thought it was just a running and jumping simulator. But after reading the manual, I realize the game wants you to route all 32 treasures, and in order to do that you have to use the underground passage ways. And to go backwards instead of forwards.

Which is the best VGA device from BeharBros for Dreamcast? I used to have the Hanzo but I thought I’d ask first.

What's your favorite Disney movie and McDonald's meal pairing?
>>
>>12026183
I have no idea. The website doesn't do a sufficient job in explaining the differences in the products. I just went with the Toro since it seems like the right one for me. It still lacks features like a VGA passthrough which was the reason I got the Performance brand one back then. Be aware that the BeharBros products I got were shipped out of China, so they may have severe tariffs adding to the price now.

Then ask one of us to lend a voice, or hell, ask around on social media. If you got a TC you have a tangible THING to show people, and I'm pretty certain there's people out there that're willing to do voicework for free if you ask them nicely.
I mean don't expect to get some hotshot professional to do work for you for free, but you get what I mean.

I say this and I'll need to do the same in the near future, or try voicing my own character myself soon, though I'd like to get some of that funny soundproofing foam stuff to put against my wall first.
