Alien vs Predator (1994)
By Capcom
[Source: https://youtu.be/S5x9qDqfWWE]

Gif from "Alien vs Predator" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling perspective). The player character (a predator warrior, deriving from the "Predator" franchise) uses a bladed staff-like weapon to attack a group of humanoid enemies inside a futuristic-looking military base.

@viktorTheBoar Hideo Kojima originally had a segment in the middle where Snake hallucinates that he's on a cooking show called "Snake Bakes", but it was cut at the last minute due to copyright infringement of a dubious pastry treat.

@viktorTheBoar ... They left some pretty weird stuff in too

@scribblemacher Can absolutely sympathise with this at the moment 😶

... Ours just keeps running around the house 'singing', "...And this is the thanks I get dummdummdudummmm"

@scribblemacher that is waaaay better!

The worst part is that ours asks to watch it, so you put it on, then they leave the room... But it's still on. 😶

Final Fight (1989)
By Capcom
[Source: https://youtu.be/p8gYGfL_p2o]

Gif from "Final Fight" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling perspective). The player controls a very tall, muscular man wearing dress pants, nice shoes, and no short fights a group of bad guys on a beat-up subway car (that's currently in-motion). The player character performs various wrestling maneuvers on them (dives, slams, etc.).

The player controls a very tall, muscular man wearing dress pants, nice shoes, and no short fights a group of bad guys on a seaside plaza that overlooks (what appears to be) the statue of liberty. The player character body-slams a bad guy, but the bad guy retaliates and tosses the player character into the air.

@mforester thanks! that's an interesting read!

For I'm going way back to the . This splash screen and the music always conjured up an epic medieval adventure. tbh my overwhelming memory of playing the game was avoiding the enemy army and trying to find the cute pixel art villages. (Sorry, this is the best version I can find. It takes a while to start... And it's not the same without the steady thunk of a floppy drive loading over the top)

Dead Angle (1988)
By Seibu Kaihatsu
[Source: https://youtu.be/g0hb90-Lzco]

Gif from "Dead Angle" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, first-person perspective). The player shoots at 1930s-style gangsters on a street somewhere in Europe. Interestingly, the player is represented by a yellow outline onscreen, allowing him to duck behind cover as necessary.

You wake up. The cool wood of the bench pressed against one side of your face, the sunlight filtering through the trees warming the other side. Slowly you rise to your feet with no memory of where you were before your slumber.

THE PATH

You are standing on a dirt path next to a wooden bench. The air is cool beneath the shade of the trees.

The path continues to the north leading out of the forest. To the south it falls away, revealing the blue expanse of sea stretching to the horizon.

@mforester
The Mooring Field
Standing in a large field you are overshadowed by the imposing body of a large rigid-body airship. Logical understanding of lighter than air travel collides sharply with the eerie reality of seeing this vast craft gently hovering several metres above the ground. It strains at half dozen mooring lines, eager to depart.

A wooden boarding ramp leads up to the gondola. Chain link fencing marks the north, west, and east borders. A path leads south into the forest.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester a tall jakalope stands at the bottom of the ramp.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester
You throw out a noncommittal polite greeting to the jakalope.

They raise a paw and tip the rim of their top hat. You note that they don't fully doff it, presumably the act of threading their antlers through the custom cut holes in the brim is time consuming.

Their soft voice has the warm tones of Gaelic origins, but you can't quite place the accent.

"The captain is ready to depart. If you're travelling with us today then please present your ticket"

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester
In a faded canvas shoulder bag, you are carrying:

  • A selection of unfamiliar currency
  • A box of matches
  • An empty steel water bottle
  • A sealed envelope labelled: "Decisions"
  • Your car keys
Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester
You tear the envelope open.

There are two transit tickets inside. One appears to be for passage on a steam ship, and the other appears to be for a dirigible.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester
With a flourish, the jakalope deftly retrieves a small hole punch from their waistcoat pocket and slides the ticket in. They linger, inspecting the ticket for several seconds, before the sudden click of the punch and handing it back to you.

You look at the freshly punched ticket. It simply says "Dirigible - Standard Class Single". It's not clear what the jakalope was inspecting.

They step aside, clearing the way up the boarding ramp

"Welcome aboard, standard class, cabin 8"

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester You walk up the boarding ramp, the jakalope follows, pausing near the entrance to the gondola and winch the ramp up.

Standard Berth Corridor

You are standing in the middle of a corridor running along the starboard side of the gondola. Warm sunlight streams in through the windows, glinting off polished brass door numbers adorning the cabins.

Along the corridor toward the stern is a padlocked door. Toward the bow, there seems to be a small concierge desk.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester as you start to walk along the corridor it shifts gently to the right, causing you to weave along the narrow passage, struggling to correct yourself. The patches of light from the windows start to slowly migrate down the corridor as the airship turns. It seems that you're now in flight.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester

Concierge Desk

Little more than a wooden pedestal, the desk is home to a passenger manifest. To the stern the standard class corridor continues. Toward the bow is an ornate door featuring elaborate inset stained glass; the word Lounge inscribed above the frame. Toward the Port side is a door flanked by two gas lamps.

The Jakalope stands idly behind the desk
