Did limeys in the early 80s really go bananas over this silly shit?
>>12525128yes. when you go from no video games whatsoever to having a video game at home then it blows your young mind.lay off the stupid questions will ya?
>>12525128>Did people actually likeYes, now fuck off.
>>12525128>16:9 youtube imageyou couldn't be more of a niggerfaggot even if you tried
>>12525128nothing says skiing like trucks, motorcycles, and saturn
>>12525194The planet was the logo of psion computers and the vehicles make more sense when you know half of the game is a frogger clone where you have to buy a pair of skis from the other side of the road but yeah the composition here isn't the greatest. I bet /gd/ would get a kick out of this image
>>12525128Damn! Horatio looking good
>>12525128Well, it was that, or laugh at you while you almost killed off the industry at your end through sheer incompetence. There'll always be that stick to beat you with. Oh, that, and the fact that Sony choose us to send the original PlayStation into the stratosphere and pretty much revolutionize the industry. Yup, Lara Croft on the front of every pop culture magazine, WipEout in clubs all over the western hemisphere, GTA creating controversy on TV everywhere; we brought a nerdy hobby to the mainstream. We made social outcasts like you fuckable, and for that, you should thank us from the bottom of your hearts.
Why is it so easy to make threads on this board that result in someone disrespecting you for attempting to engage with this board?
>>12527560>when you couldn't be more disingenuous
>>12525128Look, it's Horace and he's going skiing. That's insaaaane.
>>12527560We need another 9000 threads about Mario 3 vs. Mario World.
>>12527560Because this is a monumentally stupid thread.
who is horace
>>12528965horace these nuts
Simple as.
>>12525128Look at that little guy. I like him.
>>12527558You don't think final fantasy 7, metal gear solid, tekken, resident evil, megaman, dragon quest 7, etc drove the sales? Lol, I think playing speccy and always having to press up to jump damaged your brain there zniggy
>>12529492there are NES games with Up to jump too
>>12529526Yeah man, I remember playing megaman 2 and Mario and pressing up to jump, your roight! The majority of the NES library, especially the more popular games were press up to jump....wait...that was British micro computers
>>12529526>there are NES games with Up to jump toothe first Hokuto no Ken game. infamous kusoge.
>>12529492>to counter your argumment, allow me to list off a number of Japanese gamesYou were irrelevant.
>>12527558>GTA creating controversy on TV everywhere; we brought a nerdy hobby to the mainstreamIt's weird to think about it but it's true, the responsibles for turning video games into nogsims weren't the burgers, it was the mohammedbongs.
>>12530648Just thought I'd leave this here.
>>12530626Ahh, I see someone is jealous of Japan, a country that was capable of creating good games. Face it, Britain was the ghetto of gaming. Japan that generation released saturn, Playstation and N64. Britain that generation.....Amiga cd 32. But who am I kidding, it was definitely James Pond 2 the DROVE the sales of Japanese consoles. Keep repeating this shit and history will change to match your mental illness, im sure
>>12525128Oi MeSpeccy
>>12530648>nogsimsOut of your fucking mind, mutt? The U.S. is the undisputed champion of exporting harmful culture. There is no close second.
>>12531116You'll never be a nip
>get home with your new zed ex speccy game>the telly man from HRM revenue service took your monitah cause you didn't buy another telly loicense>step outside to stretch your legs>get beheaded by a fine Asian bloke with a scimitar because it's six a bong you didn't pray to Mecca yet
>>12525128Yes and even to the point that Horatio Goes Snowboarding exists (great homage to this classic)
Oi, leave it out, Mum! You’re properly 'aving a laugh, ain't ya? I’m right in the middle of a blinding run on Manic Miner and you’re 'ere gabbing on about the bins! Just five more minutes, I’m telling ya, ya fookin cunt, this ain't just some toy, OI ME SPECCY, MUM! It’s a bleeding masterpiece, it is! You pull that plug and I’ll be well gutted, straight up. Don’t be a total melt, I’m nearly at the high score innit!!! ’m doing this for the family name, I am! Now hop it before I lose me last life and go absolutely spare!Jet Set Willy predates Metroid mum, the genre should be called Willyvania not Metroidvania!! Fuck Jeremy Parish Ill send the cunt arse over tit!!
>>12531116>Ahh, I see someone is jealous of JapanNo, they chose the UK. to be the face of the PlayStation in the western world. And we deserved it; we did play a notable part in developing the console, after all... Nice cope, though, disingenuous, desperate prick.>Face it, Britain was the ghetto of gamingWe had teen devs driving around in Ferraris while you were destroying your industry through sheer incompetence. No one else had a crash. Just you.>Britain that generation.....Amiga cd 32Commodore is an American company, midwit.>it was definitely James Pond 2 the DROVE the sales of Japanese consolesWhat does this mean? Everyone knows Nintendo acquired RARE, and that it popularized FPS's to much higher degree in Japan compared to I.D.'s previous efforts. >Keep repeating this shit and history will change to match your mental illness, im sureFtergraahnuurgfleeep!
>>12531145Lol, why are you attacking me for not being Japanese? I can recognize when another culture/could try does something better. You just go into Spergy denial>>12531149Lol
>>12531146>u.s. blacks are the most innocuous creatures the world has ever known, and unlike the islamic interlopers, are considered real americansRemember that /pol/ is just a click away, subhuman.
>>12531154Teens drove around in Ferraris, therefore British games were good? Actually, the fact that British games were made by children kind of explains why they were so shit. Fucking sweatshop Nikes of the video game world.So just shut the fuck up, boot up your amiga, load up some James pond 87, choose between sound fx or music, and enjoy pressing up to jump
>>12531178>So just shut the fuck up, boot up your amiga, load up some James pond 87, choose between sound fx or music, and enjoy pressing up to jumpKek
>>12525128Is that Horace's arm coming out of his head (implying the other arm is obscured behind him) or is it like long hair and hes just a head with legs? Ive always wondered this.
>>12531178>Teens drove around in Ferraris, therefore British games were good?No, it just meant that we had a thriving industry even back then. Are you really going to make the argument that we were unsophisticated? Because the droves of tourists from your neck of the woods have always had quite opposite views on the Briton. Oh, and once again, no one else had a crash. Just. You.>So just shut the fuck up, boot up your amigaAgain, an American machine. Somewhat limited. We did the best anyone could do with it, one button wanker. Imagine, in the era of the Famicom, producing a 16bit machine that only utilized a single fucking action button. Backward spastic cunts.
>>12531210American retards think you guys are sophisticated because of the trope in the US that your accent is some kind of aristocratic big brained thing instead of you guys being inbred freaks and you cater to this delusion to tourists.
>>12531210>> A thriving industryI dunno man, if you consider unfinished jank made by teenagers in their spare time to be evidence of thriving, you're kind of retarded. Maybe that explains a lack of a crash there, you morons would buy anything. Makes the Americans sound honorable by not submitting to buying shiny games. Wait, amiga was American? Hahahahahhahahahahhahahah, you didn't even invent your own shitty torture machine, thats way more pathetic hahahhahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahahhahabbahahahhshahhahshahhahahah
>>12531231Unfinished jank they sold for like $1 in every shop. Of course kids spent their lunch money in droves and made devs rich. Its all they had.
>>12531182Could be a tail
>>12531182>>12531242It's hair (officially). He has no arms.
>>12531241Now I just feel bad for them, maybe I should stop picking on Britain,
>>12531210>Again, an American machine. Somewhat limited. We did the best anyone could do with it, one button wanker. Imagine, in the era of the Famicom, producing a 16bit machine that only utilized a single fucking action button. Backward spastic cunts.Which is untrue the Amiga could support three button sticks and you can Google search lists of games that used them.
>>12531182It's a rat tail.
Horace Goes Skiing is superior to Frogger desu
>>12531214Hang on, it's America where you are allowed to marry your cousin
>>12531178You haven't experienced the thrill of 5 player dynablaster on the amiga
>>12531214>>12531231No, it was (and still is) the social cohesion; lower crime rate, etc. We're just a more civilized nation, despite your best efforts to paint us otherwise, subhuman. Higher IQ on average (which we've always had) would produce better games. You're literally too stupid to appreciate good game design when you see it. And it's bong machines from that era that get the lion's share of homebrew titles released on the daily. And that's from the world over. After everyone has all but forgotten about your hardware, they'll still be making games for the platforms you routinely shit on. By the way, another crash is inevitable. Guess whose fault that's going to be (again)? Now, off you go; go dev another industry killing tranny simulator, mutt.
>>12527558Calm down nigel
>>12532175Half that post wasn't even on topic, you're losing this argument hard and are going rogueAlso, British microcomputers aren't getting new indie games like the genesis and nes are.On top of that, we've already discussed how Americans will let the market crash if it gets overrun with garbage, whereas the British will be like "oil! Zniggy 34: Zniggy and James Pond do their Laundry, what a great game!"
>>12525128Why is it impossible for burgers to understand video games existed before the NES?
>>12532285Yeah, Americans had no idea videotapes existed until the NES came out. There were no arcades, no handhelds, and no computers. Video games weren't invented there on an oscilloscope, and the atari 2600 wasn't a huge hit. Dumbest Americans man
it confounds me that even on /vr/ people desperately search for reasons to hate the UK
>>12532228I am him, you and also OP, the trinity of faggotry. I have checked one of the top databases of on the spectrum software and it has 63 new releases this year. As a comparison Atariage lists 71 completed for the 2600 and Lemon64 lists 41 for the C64. The Genedrive has 47 listed which includes TBA dates rather than already released games (don't know how accurate Segabits is, but they seem autistic enough). Seems healthy enough.
'orace goes Shee-ing. Real beans-on-toast gaming that is.
>>12532228>British microcomputers aren't getting new indie gamesshut the fuck up about things you don't know shit aboutthe Spectrum is getting better games now than it had back then, the homebrew scene is awesomehttps://youtu.be/PUE4yboY5hkhttps://youtu.be/Fufk8gjRcVshttps://youtu.be/45Tm30NZErg
>>12532468 (me)not to mention yearly gamedev competitions like https://yrgb.org/
>>12532468>>shut the fuck up about things you don't know shit aboutthe Spectrum is getting better games now than it had back thenYou say that and then post a link to a video containing a mario 1 port for spectrum. You just literally admitted that mario 1 is better than anything that came out for spectrum in its day. Funny how anger can be a better truth serum than alcohol
>>12532489I'm not the anon you have been getting in an autistic catfight with. SMB is a great game and yeah, probably better than any Spectrum platformer from the 80s.>better than anything that came out for spectrumNah, the spectrum had a far wider range of games than the NES, nothing like Lords of Midnight on it, for example.
>>12532542You are that anon. You are responsible for 90% of the spam on this board, please just stop posting and lurk only
>>12532583make that 120%, you paranoid schizo
>>12532591Are you ok? I don't mean that in a backhanded way. What's going on?
