My first ZakStunts pro podium!
And a win on the amateur leaderboard.
A crazy track this month, full of illusions and invisible features due to clever tile placement. Fully exploiting all the quirks that make this game what it is today. #dos#dosgaming#retrogaming#stunts#zakstunts
💾 NEW PODCAST! 💾 We had a look at Empire, originally developed by Walter Bright in the 1970s for the PDP-10, and later released for various systems, including MS-DOS with 1987's Empire: Wargame of the Century, and 1993's Empire: Deluxe.
This is a very early example of a turn-based strategy wargame, and one that would have a big influence on the genre. Sid Meier among others has mentioned Empire is a big inspiration for Civilization.
The MSX classic The Maze of Galious was actually Knightmare 2.
An interesting feature of the game depended on what was inserted into the MSX's second cartridge slot.
If the first Knightmare was in, you could resurrect your companion 99 times. If there was Q-bert, you started the game with bonuses like extra gold and a full health bar...☺️👍🕹️
I think the first experience with #PixelArt was messing with the #RPG Exile 2: Crystal Souls. playable characters, since they're just BMP files.... Maybe I could download it again and try to create some characters there.
Do you have any weird gaming / sound memory combinations?
It was 1998. My brother got Tenchu for Christmas. He also got the Phil Collins' Greatest Hits CD. Which is why I can't play this without singing Easy Lover.
I created a #python script to generate a custom #emulationstation collection of all 5-star #retrogaming games present on #steamdeck. this is a great way to have the best games easily at hand, especially when using large collections.
Swapped the reset cap on my Mark III, so now I can use the (knockoff) EverDrive on it. 10µF to 0.1µF is all it takes. Thanks to Neto from SMSPower for figuring this out. #retrogaming#sega#mastersystem
