@ComuDoMega War in Middle Earth. Thanks to it (and the Bakshi LOTR movie) I wound up reading the books and this wound up being a watershed moment that followed me all my life.

Os videogames, como conhecemos, tem aí os seus quase 55 anos de existência e de muita história boa, e ruim, para contar.
Neste período tivemos dezenas de milhares lançados para diversos sistemas! A pergunta que eu deixo:
Quais foram os jogos que mais marcaram vocês até hoje?
Português
@arianred128 ... (continue from previous post) which in America is a classic, but it wasn't loved in Japan and I've heard that's because the translation for the Famicom version made the game impossible to understand. Did you ever play that?
English
@jispylicious 情報交換して、ともすれば意地悪な謎を解いていくというスタイルは、日本では熱狂していましたが、そもそも数が普及していなくて、一般的に広まっていないと、情報交換する相手もいなくて、難しいですね☺
存在を知っていてくれてありがとうございます！
日本語
ミズパックマン☺
これも好きだった！
NAMCOのゲーム、パックマンが海外で人気だったのは知ってるけど、他の作品ってどうだったんだろう❓
ドルアーガの塔とかワルキューレの伝説とか、ゼビウスとか！当時の情勢が気になる😂

Ms. Pac-Man was actually created as an unauthorized mod called Crazy Otto by General Computer Corp before Midway bought it!

@arianred128 Truth is, western games in the eighties could also be cryptic. Especially on PC. If we had gotten Druaga in the 80s it would have fit right in. Too bad we didn't get it until it was too late.
I've heard there was a similar situation with Shadowgate...
English
@arianred128 Auto translate is having problems with "Druaga" 😆
So did most players in America. Since Druaga is so cryptic, many Americans thought the game was made by crazy people. In reality of course, you're supposed to discuss the game with friends, but it was too late when we got it.
English
@jispylicious ドルアーガもアーケードじゃなくて、PSの移植版からなんだね！むむむ……、その頃だと、少し時代遅れのゲームに見えたかもしれないね
日本語
@Muteki_Games_X How do you make a shooting game out of a very intellectual and emotional manga that didnt have a lot of action scenes?
English
@JumpyFeller So what you're saying is, the GRIND let to a bullet STORM?
English
As I understand it, this game was bugged in a way that resulted in a smaller hitbox than normal and they couldn't fix it in a timely manner so they just built the game around it. This would be a major innovation in what would become true bullet hell.

Happy Friday gamers! Playing Grind Stormer on @AntstreamArcade today! #arcade #retrogaming

@daioilslayer Fun fact: Ralph is called "Trevor" in the American version.
English
@beezlive178rx Heh, autotranslate can not handle the title XEXEX.
I always found this game's ending weird. I would ask, but I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't beaten the game. (I credit-spammed the American version, maybe it makes more sense in Japan?)
English
@pautrox @theshows0ver_ @AesirMalos In this case, we can give the nod to Zelda for getting it right. MML may have came out first but I remember not using its lock-on all that often because it forces you to stand in place, and circle-strafing was usually a much safer tactic.
English
@theshows0ver_ @jispylicious @AesirMalos La primera demo jugable del megaman la lanzaron el mes de septiembre (aprovecho de corregirme porque el de Zelda salió en noviembre de ese año) por lo que ni siquiera puede existir la conversación de que Nintendo mejoró el sistema ambos lo estaban desarrollando al mismo tiempo
Español
The Legend Of Zelda is THE Pinnacle of ALL gaming. It's the Standard of Excellence and Quality that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
LOZ is the only franchises that consistently drops GOTY contenders and Dominates Greatest Games Of All-Time list. Nothing comes close
Alvro ❄🏔@ChispaZoReal
ya que esta teniendo relevancia el tweet de los videojuegos ,voy a decir otro facto y es que Zelda es la mejor y mas relevante saga de videojuegos de la historia Ninguna franquicia se ha atrevido tanto a cambiar su estilo,diseños ,su formula y ha conseguido esto:
English
@pautrox @AesirMalos Heck, Tomb Raider even had a level called the Aqueducts, which is basically the Water Temple, and is infamous for literally the exact same reason--because its a tedious level whose gimmick revolves around raising and lowering water levels.
English
@jispylicious @AesirMalos 1/3 OOT didn't just "go 3D"—it literally invented the Z-Targeting system that every modern action game (from Dark Souls to GoW) still uses today. Comparing it to early Tomb Raider’s tank controls is technically and mechanically inaccurate.
English
@pautrox @AesirMalos When I talk about Tomb Raider, its not the controls I'm comparing. It's more the actual levels. How many Tomb Raider levels are go here, hit a switch, push a block to make a platform, do this really precise jump... you can describe most OoT dungeons similarly.
English
@Maguro_Maznaga Remember when From Software was only known for Armored Core and King's Field on the PS1? I remember. People called me weird for liking them.
Now they're popular. Who's the weird one now?
Sadly I don't like their post-Dark Souls games as much as their PS1 stuff.
English
@beezlive178rx Gradius IV will have its day, my friend.
I am happy to have it on PSP though.
English
@donguriweb One must meditate and understand the mysteries of Nu. Only then will one find true happiness, like the Nu.
English
@DT2ComicsChat What's funny is, as someone who has read the first 66 issues of X-Men... the four original members all ended up getting origins later anyway. Usually something like "their parents were near something radioactive and it passed on to their kid."
English
Fanon: "The X-Men were created to be an allegory for [insert oppressed group here]."
Canon: The X-Men were created by Stan Lee getting tired of coming up with superhero origins, so he just threw his hands up and said "they're born with it!"
JOLLY J✨@DynamoSuperX
What is the worst case of Fanon vs Canon misconception you've ever seen? I know you're mad, let it out.
English
@LibertyForAll19 I actually agree. As a kid me and friends did something similar to TTRPG, but entirely by accident, without even knowing that's what we were doing, just kinda making up rules and systems as we went along.
I remember having rulebooks didn't actually make it better.
English
All this rule of cool crap is back, Why buy rules? Why not just "play" the "game" without any? How can you say you are for imaginative but then buy book to get ideas? Why is this contradiction accepted as logical.

@iMpWKKHmPLvWqgv Fun thing about R-Type:
It is probably the only context outside of Star Wars where you can say "use the Force!" and it makes sense.
English
最初に金をつぎ込んだ作品４つと言えばこの４つ
ゼビウス
スターフォース
グラディウス
R-TYPE
安くて治安のいい店を探しては貴重なコインをつぎ込んだ思い出のゲーム
レトロゲーマー・アジャキング@TheAmazonia
ゲーセンで「このゲーム面白れー！」っと感動したのが、ゴールデンアックスとワルキューレの冒険。そして、ドはまりして更にお金をつぎ込んだのが、ファイナルファイト、ストⅡでした。世代にもよるとは思いますが、皆さんが最初にハマったアーケードゲームは何ですか？
日本語
@mo_chu001 Ever since I saw the Japanese version, I just can't go back to the American soundtrack. The Japanese just fits and makes things so much stronger.
Ken arriving and punching the ground as the music swells up, before he and Ryu team up on Bison... priceless.
English
@SandyofCthulhu Fun fact: Once and Future King is a compilation. Most of its parts were published separately as stand-alone books, and "Sword in the Stone" in particular has a lot of huge differences in the stand-alone version.
The biggest one IMO: OaFK deletes Madame Mim entirely.
English
T. H. White’s epic book The Once and Future King made the argument that indeed might could make right, and the only way to fix this was to suborn Might into the service of Right. Making Right cool, so the tough knights would WANT to be good. We got two awesome films out of it - Sword in the Stone and Camelot.
The book is a tragedy.
