Imagine being able to just sit down and play #NieR scores on your piano! 🎹

A lack of talent and a misspent youth keep this dream far out of reach for me, but I love that these books get published ♥️

Maybe one day…

What have no idea what kind of game Helldrivers is.

Is it like a kart racing game in the Doom universe?

A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.

As of this post:

  • There are already 3 expansions.
  • The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
  • The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.

Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

https://te4.org


A bit of history based on what I was able to find:

  • Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
  • In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
  • Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

Modern Vintage Gamer just dropped a video about the Pro Fighter X Turbo, a SNES disc copier. ↔️
Such devices were used to copy SNES cartridges to floppy discs and create the ROMs nowadays used to play games via emulators.

This little one has been in every Dragon Quest game

Designed by Akira Toriyama and originally introduced in the very first game, and ever since, it became the series' mascot due to their popularity

This week, I've been working on invisible stuff that will slightly improve lighting in our last game.

Meanwhile, Biiscuit has been working on some new props, which I'll show for this #screenshotsaturday

She can do better but then her props wouldn't fit in the blocky Trenchbroom map :p And I'm currently still using the models' triangles for picking, I need to do better.

Do you like games about Mediterranean plumbers, ever-hungry shape-shifters or barrel-tossing monkeys? Then you might enjoy Sam's Journey on the NES as well! 😃

I only learned to like Castlevania after I was 40 (when I was a kid I found the original game very difficult). Dead Cells for me is the perfect spiritual successor, even more so with the Return to Castlevania DLC. What an incredible tribute!

Cartoon of the main character of Dead Cells, a purple humanoid with a flaming head and wearing medieval armor. He extends his right hand and looks at you directly with his one eye.

Today I'm dropping my third (~1 min). It's about a game I'm sure everyone here played at least once in a lifetime. 🤼‍♂️

What are your thoughts on Street Fighter 2 on Game Boy? 🤔

Is it a good port considering the Game Boy's hardware? 👌

Or do you know even worse ports? 👎

RetroClip #1 about Sonic on Genesis:

RetroClip #2 about DKC2 on SNES:

Street Fighter II originally was released for arcades in 1991 and has been ported to numerous consoles and platforms. But did you know that even the Game Boy Classic got his own version of the most influential fighting game ever made?The Game Boy port was released in 1995 and had to be reduced in complexity due to the limited capabilities of the handheld. From the characters side Dhalsim, E. Honda, Vega and their home stages didn't make it into the game. Because the Game Boy only had two buttons, the strength of punches and kicks has to be determined by the duration of button presses and many of the character moves had to be simplified or completely removed. The game runs at less than ten frames per second and in the stages there are no moving background elements or destructible objects. But there are also positive aspects about the Game Boy version. The game offers large, recognizable character sprites and three different game modes. When playing the game on the Super Game Boy, the health bars can be colored and there are unique borders that follow the stage that you're fighting on. By Game Boy standards the game can be seen as an excellent conversion. But the numerous downgrades only made it a bad fallback option for those not having access to a home console or computer.
