@systemcheck66 looks like we were right about cregger, check out advance bawse latest video, just prepare yourself, his defender's were out in force from what that guy showed in the video

@systemcheck66 @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @stewie55uk @bastichb64k i've been too i was playing castlevania 2 belmont's revenge on the game boy since i have the anniversary collection, i'm just about to beat it.

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @stewie55uk @bastichb64k I just beat Castlvania 64 it was better than I thought it would be, I've been on a Castlevania flex recently.

sorry if haven't posted in a bit, been a little busy lately, only had time to play some games, i plan on returning to steamworld dig, played it for a good little bit month's ago, and currently trying to beat castlevania the adventure on the anniversary collection.

@The_Top_Loader @sincespacies @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @Retrokaiser @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean it was definitely engrained in pop culture in the 90's, it along with games like Wolfenstein 3d caused the creation of the ratings board, and the creation of MK is just as interesting, using digitized actors in place of sprites, & like you said the influence their favorite films

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @Retrokaiser @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean I always liked the Story of Mortal Kombat, just a few guys making moves up on the fly with a video camera influenced by their favourite movies and great art direction. Then it explodes in the Arcade and makes history instantly

over the years I've become interested in how older games were made, since unlike today they had more hoops to jump through when coding, debugging and testing the games out, is there any stories on older game development that you heard about regarding your favorite game.

@systemcheck66 @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @bastichb64k @Retrokaiser @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean yeah they do hold up well, they might have done prerendered backgrounds because of certain limitations, but they are remembered fondly by RE fans like us, the newer tomb raider titles hold your hand too much, i didn't feel like i was going to lose, compared to the older games

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @bastichb64k @Retrokaiser @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean I always look at how they had to use pre rendered backgrounds in the older Resi games and that's led to them holding up pretty well today especially the Remake of 1 and Zero, Tomb Raider trilogy is also a lesson in tight, precise platforming that the newer ones don't get.

@bastichb64k cool

@loretta_bryan I think you'll have fun 👍

@bastichb64k i wanted to ask this since you've played some amiga games, is the chaos engine any good, looks fun but i'm not entirely sure, i'm thinking about getting it on either the SNES or genesis since i don't have an amiga of any kind.

@bastichb64k interesting, i'll be sure to give it a go once i acquire a copy sometime, the upgrade system will make things interesting.

@loretta_bryan Yeah its fun , its like Gauntlet but with better gfx and music + your character can be upgraded RPG style. I played the Amiga and Genesis versions and they both cool

@The_Top_Loader 100% agreed

@loretta_bryan If you play it later in life it can take you back in time and show you what it was like back then

Well .. if Link to the Past is now 34 years old that would make me .. Really old ! lol

@The_Top_Loader 100% and although i experience some of these games way after, i don't mind link to the past was fun when i finally got to play it.

@loretta_bryan Oh dw I'm so glad I grew up in the era that I did

@sincespacies there's too many to list i can list at least 3 super Mario bros, contra and donkey Kong country, although i couldn't play NES contra to save my life when i was young.

What got you into gaming?

@systemcheck66 @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan yeah when the right elements are in place, things that in theory shouldn't work can work very well together when the right people are involved.

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan F.E.A.R's mashup of Die Hard meets the Ring mixed with Cloned Super Soldiers... it's something that shouldn't work but they pulled it off with that first game so well.

i got a question for everyone I've been thinking about aesthetics of games i love BLOOD's horror inspired aesthetic since I'm a big horror movie fan, what game has your favorite aesthetic.

i was playing more blood refreshed supply i knew a lot of the easter eggs and references in the game and thought they were cool, i want to hear your favorite references and easter eggs, here's two of mine, one is from rise of the triad, the other is from beavis and butthead

@sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan hahahahahaha 🤣

@The_Top_Loader @loretta_bryan @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan You moody bitch. 😂

@The_Top_Loader @sincespacies @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan i do like super Metroid's atmosphere too, makes me want to play it more one day i will

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @systemcheck66 @bastichb64k @stewie55uk @meanmachinedean @PauleQuan My favourote aesthetic would have to be something like super metroid. Moody, atmospheric with class A 16 bit graphics

@systemcheck66 @sincespacies @Retrokaiser @bastichb64k @PauleQuan @meanmachinedean cool

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @Retrokaiser @bastichb64k @PauleQuan @meanmachinedean I'll let you know how I get on with it 😁👍

clearing my backlog is going well so far, beaten at least 3 or 4 the games were short, but they were hard, at the moment I'm taking a small break and revisiting some old arcade games, starting with MS Pac man on the Gameboy, it's timeless

@systemcheck66 @sincespacies @Retrokaiser @bastichb64k @PauleQuan @meanmachinedean cool, i've been meaning to get that one after playing the older games on the samurai showdown anthology, i'll get to it sooner or later, have fun with the game.

@loretta_bryan @sincespacies @Retrokaiser @bastichb64k @PauleQuan @meanmachinedean The 2D ones are the daddy's definitely, I've just grabbed Samuria Showdown PS4 so will be my first Samuria Showdown I play.
