Did limeys in the early 80s really go bananas over this silly shit?
>>
>>12525128
yes. 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

Yes, now fuck off.

The 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

Damn! Horatio looking good

Well, 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.

Look, it's Horace and he's going skiing. That's insaaaane.

You 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
>>
>>12529492
there are NES games with Up to jump too
>>
>>12529526
Yeah 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 too
the first Hokuto no Ken game. infamous kusoge.

It'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.

Ahh, 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

Out of your fucking mind, mutt? The U.S. is the undisputed champion of exporting harmful culture. There is no close second.

>Ahh, I see someone is jealous of Japan
No, 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 gaming
We 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 32
Commodore is an American company, midwit.
>it was definitely James Pond 2 the DROVE the sales of Japanese consoles
What 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 sure
Ftergraahnuurgfleeep!

>>12531145
Lol, 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

>u.s. blacks are the most innocuous creatures the world has ever known, and unlike the islamic interlopers, are considered real americans
Remember that /pol/ is just a click away, subhuman.
>>
>>12531154
Teens 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

Is 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 amiga
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.
>>
>>12531210
American 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 industry
I 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
>>
>>12531231
Unfinished 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.

Which is untrue the Amiga could support three button sticks and you can Google search lists of games that used them.
>>
>>12531182
It's a rat tail.

Horace Goes Skiing is superior to Frogger desu

Hang on, it's America where you are allowed to marry your cousin
