Not sure which game you’re thinking about, there are lots of shitty Christian shovelware from that era, but Konami’s Noah’s Ark has nothing to do with it. And very little to do with the biblical story really.
I had that game on the NES (and I’m not in a Christian or religious family at all).
It’s a real game, the arcade-y kind that tries to kill you all the time. It’s quite hard.
Hi-res screen is a key feature for playing Atari games?
Also, how “high” is “high resolution” anyway?
Well they definitely kept their core principles of collecting data without consent in any case.
I was, of course, refering to the actual Final Fantasy NPC.
not really, that was 100% 8-bit theater too
Yeah, I can agree with that.
I know that story. It’s a lot more nuanced than that.
Thing is, Disney barely had anything to do with the restaurant itself (they’re basically the restaurant’s landowner). And the only thing on which they could attack Disney was to point that the restaurant had a description on Disney’s website… which is part of Disney online services, and subject to their terms of services.
So yeah, grasping at a clause from an old Disney+ subscription is bullshit, but the claim honestly did not make a lot of sense to begin with. The restaurant itself should have been sued to hell, even more so because apparently they reinstated they were allergy compliant several times when asked.
According to Legal Eagle’s video, Honey could be pocketing affiliate link money from creators that had never even anything to do with them.
It’s installed on viewer’s side, so it makes sense.
I’d also say there are probably limits to what you can enforce arbitration for, especially if you outright lied to your customers, but I am not American and I have no idea how irredeemably fucked up your customer protection laws are.
That does sound ambitious. I hope they don’t end up biting off more than they can chew and never releasing anything, because this looks promising.
We had the original. The logical puzzles are quite clever. My sisters and I got a bit obsessed with it and completed it together.
Yes, you can complete it, by bringing ALL the possible combinations to the village. That’s 625, and you can save 16 on each trip, if you don’t lose any on the way.
There’s a short congratulations video if you save them all. I was honestly surprised they made one, given the commitment it required.
I mean, if they’d found a way to force people to do a handstand and push a button with their nose, it’d be even harder.
Drifting is not some secret combo technique, it’s basically half of what you need to do to play Mario Kart. To me it feels as stupid as if I had to do hadokens to jump in Super Mario Bros.
I know some disagree, but I hated the way you’re supposed to trigger drifting on DS. That left-right spam served no purpose and was terrible on a D-pad.
So glad they got rid of that bullshit after DS.
I’ll take the guy that says “Welcome to Corneria”. He may not have much to say, but he sounds more sincere at least.
I love MKW but bikes in Wii were very overpowered compared to karts. They tried to balance the four vehicle types in MK8 (DX), and now they more or less all have their strong points.
In particular the Bowser bike in Wii was incredible.
“You don’t know it yet, but deep inside you’re already a cryptobro like us.”
Ah ah they wish.
I’m not sure why there hasn’t been a business simulator where you could live up the glamorous, extremely vicious, exploitative, and horrible life of a movie studio owner in Old Hollywood.
The Movies, 2005.
Technically not just old Hollywood, it goes through the 20th century with technological advances and world events that change movie trends.
Since it’s a business management game from Bullfrog Lionhead, it did have some grit to it, though mostly sarcastic rather than very dark.
I welcome new takes on this though, the movies didn’t age well in some aspects (aspect ratio most notably, ah ah ). I know of Blockbuster Inc that tried to remake that already but the reviews are not great. I’ll try this one.
Not single-player, but snipperclips is good, relaxed puzzle fun.
Goals are visual and easy to understand, each player controls a shape and they can cut each other to try and fit a predefined “hole” together. There are some physics puzzles based on cutting your shape in clever ways too.
Mistakes have no consequence and often lead to funny interactions. You can’t really lose, you just reset your shape and try again.
I don’t know any game called starquest 5, do you mean Space Quest 5?
If so, yes, OP play this and also Space Quest 6 after it. They’re quite funny and accessible as far as Sierra point and click go.
Older Space Quests are… rough. The kind that punishes you in late game for missing the smallest item at the beginning and forces you to save all the time because everything kills you (sometimes in funny ways).
5 and 6 still kill you a lot, but not nearly as much and they let you rewind before the stupid move. Much more enjoyable IMO. Narration in those games is hilarious.
Most of my 80s/90s gaming was console games, but here’s a bunch of computer games that I liked back then :
Lemmings 1 and 2 (the tribes). You can try 3 if you’re curious, it’s kind of its own thing, different scale and some think it’s kind of not the same game anymore. 3D is interesting, but not easy on the eyes.
Lands of Lore. Very good real time maze dungeon-crawler with many obscure secrets, and full voice acting (that blew my mind back then. And there’s Patrick Stewart in the cast).
Lands of Lore 2 is a very ambitious sequel in 3D, with FMV incorporated directly into the 3D world. It’s quite hard and weird, very creepy at times, moreso if you’re the kind who stray off the path.
Creatures. Life simulation with a bunch of furry things you can make hatch and take care of. You teach them to speak, make them breed, watch them interact with the world, reinforce their behaviour with friendly scratches or slaps, and hopefully make them smarter (or miserable, it’s your choice). The game simulates their neural system, internal chemistry, immune system, DNA, it’s kind of crazy. Requires typing to speak. 3 is the most complete version but requires a bit of tinkering for it to work.
Once I was watching my sister try Sonic Adventure for the first time (got it on Steam from a bundle). I had never played Adventure myself but I knew the Megadrive/Genesis Sonics a bit, more than she did in any case.
She’s just messing around, finds a small pool (more like blue transparent rectangle) and jumps in, laughing about the complete lack of physics or any watery effect.
Then “wait, what the fuck is that loud music, why is it playing now?”… And I’m like “Yeah, that’s the sound of you drowning.” “Oh.”
I kinda want to see the parallel universe where handheld CRTs are a thing though.
Though, really, they’d probably be like Fallout’s Pip-Boy.
