sitting here wondering if i've ever actually fully completed any final fantasy game and uhh

... i dont think i've finished literally a single one despite having played 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, crisis core, tactics, and tactics advance

i've gotten to the end in 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 but something always happened that stopped me from beating the final boss. my save corrupted in 5, idk wtf happened in 6, i recall getting frustrated in 7 and 8, and in 10 i decided to get all the ultimate weapons and quit playing in disgust after finally beating the stupid chocobo race

weird thing to realize

The good thing about 8-bit games is how portable they are (essentially wherever you have an emulator).

Looking at the issue of the loading screen rip-off, I just noticed my first ever 8-bit game was released in October 2014 (for the #ZxSpectrum 48k), so this October it will be 10 years since I started this... hobby.

It wasn't a great game, barely functional because there were so many things I didn't know, both at hardware level and the most essential #gamedev stuff 😂, but eventually... I got better at it!

This game is ripping off The Return of Traxtor's loading screen 😅

The game over tune fits perfectly! 🎉

(also, in the menu I removed that B5 in the 3rd and 4th patterns that was ruining the whole song!)

#amstrad #gamedev

A scene of "The Heart of Salamanderland" with the mountains in the background and a rocky scenery with deadly spikes at the bottom. A flying soul and a zombie are about. On the left, the hero, on the right, the entry to a dungeon. The hero jumps to the spikes and losing his last life, triggers the game over screen showing as well that 0 tears have been collected. After the game over tune is finished, it goes back to the menu screen.

Okay it's one of those, "What's peculiar here?" kinda things.

Consider the source itself. And I certainly don't mean code of any sort. 'Why' would 'They' cite Wikipedia, as good a resource as anyone might think it to be?

Why not cite yourself? Instead of citing someone else - who will merely turn right around and cite you as the ultimate source reference?

#FOSS #DOS, get it? I was rather amused. Anyway, Here it is.
