doing some #maintenance on my #Arcade#Cabinet before moving it into my #TinyHouse. I've been working on this arcade cabinet for over 20 years now, I got it when I was 13 years old from a warehouse where it was rotting away for $25. It was originally a #Wonderboy cabinet from #Sega. I have full #JAMMA wiring inside and it runs real boards, but there is also a modern #PC inside for #Steam releases like #MortalKombat. The #Marquee animates, which is my favorite part!
I believe this is the first time seeing Smoke, Rain, and Kung Lao in the game, as well as kameos for Frost, Cyrax, Sektor, Scorpion, and Kung Lao. In the livestream, devs acknowledged that they've received the feedback on the movement speed and are working on it. You can also use kameos for movement, like equipping Kung Lao's...
Hi! I’m daniel, aka dpadular, and I’m here to post about video games with y’all.
I’ve been playing since the original NES days, but really fell in love with video games when I first encountered the original #mortalkombat in the arcade.
I’m a bit of a generalist, and my recent games have been #portal2, #doom2016, #thestickoftruth, and replaying #myst and #riven for the first time in 20 years. I’m currently working my way through #prey2017 for the first time and really digging it
Me estoy gozando las capturas y vídeos de #mortalkombat en #NintendoSwitch.
Qué delícia, por favor. Me está recordando a los ports de #CallOfDuty a PS3, pero con expresividad tan top! 👌
So I just got done playing Mortal Kombat on my iPhone, and I wanted to unpack my thoughts on it, mobile gaming, and accessibility across mobile systems. So, I never thought I'd ever be playing Mortal Kombat on my phone. I mean, this is a little iPhone SE 2 with 64 GB storage and 3 GB RAM. And yet, on my AirPods Pro 2 even, I'm able to win fights, in the classic combat tower thing. My account is at like level 11, and I was able to even drag my Fujin card to be my main team member. Your main is in the middle, BTW.
Anyway, look at this though. The whole time, from navigating the interface, and in battles, VoiceOver is on. The app uses a Direct Touch Area during battles, then switches to an interface view when done. So, during battles, a tap or swipe is sent to the app, but the app can still send text to be spoken by VoiceOver. Then the interface is navigated using VoiceOver's usual commands. This isn't using some self-voicing screen reader made by the devs. And while one could do that on Android, the user would have to turn off TalkBack, and the game creator would have to design a whole self-voicing interface for the thing. And y'all know what? That's fucking sad. It's sad that people with Android can't play a game cause Google can't possibly have spent resources over the last ten years to make frameworks that devs can make intuitive, powerful, seemless experiences with. And I'm not saying this game is perfectly accessible either. It'll tell you VO functionality on the iPhone isn't perfect yet. But on the iPhone, game developers can use this stuff, and Injustice 2, not the original, has this kind of stuff too, although I wasn't able to get far into it. And if big studeos like NetherRealm can do this much, it ain't because it's the right thing to do as much as it's gotten easier and better to do this. The iPhone can definitely be a great gaming system, even for blind people.
Max has quite notably disliked MK11. While I enjoyed that game a whole lot, I can understand his complaints with it, and this is channeling some of my favorite parts of a game like Skullgirls; or at least, at this early stage, it seems like it could.
This past weekend, we stopped at a tiny arcade at the hotel I stayed at with the family. They have one of the two greatest arcade games of all time - Ms. Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat II.
Don't argue with me...that's totally a fact.
Regardless, as the main screens cycled through I took this picture. There was a screen that showed up with details on how to order the soundtrack as well as two different Mortal Kombat comic books back when this dropped in 1993.
I wonder...do you think that's still valid? And if not, do you think there's folks out there who still have copies of these comics / the CD? Cause...I kind of want them.
Also, who stood around in an arcade in 1993 with a pen and paper to write down all this information? Cause I want to meet those people too...
