not sure but can really recommend the DF Retro channel on youtube if you want to get pretty nerdy:
they did a great one on Daytona USA
not as retro as these other ones but I used to be so obsessed with Black & White and never managed to finish it. That must be easily downloadable and playable these days…
I made this video for it.
oh this game was incredible, Peter Molyneux is still a hero in my eyes.
A very relaxing game is Settlers 2. Just watch your little people stroll about the village.
black & white, theme park, theme hospital, dungeon keeper, fable, all great!
GAME ON!
Ha! I won a Ravenskull T-shirt, you know!
Actually, it might have been Spellbinder.
The original Japanese home release of the game featured caricatures that were part of the game’s offbeat sense of humor that would’ve been seen as offensive if they were retained in their western releases. For example, the stage 1 boss was an overweight black woman who attacked by farting (known as “Big Mama” in the home versions). When the player hit Big Mama a certain amount of times, she would temporarily drop to the ground head first and show off her white frilly bloomers underneath her dress and then force herself up again. The arcade versions of the game featured two incarnations of “Big Mama” in the same game, one with light brown skin and another with pink skin. The home console ports gave her dark brown skin and bright red lips in the original Japanese port. The arcade version had the character “fart” occasionally simply as a character animation. The home versions turned it into a kind of “Fart fireball” attack that did damage.
not sure i ever beat mike tyson tbh
wow.
Tranquil is the word, isn’t it?
I liked how you could see the direct movement of all of your goods too.
Yeah exactly. You create a little rural idyll.
when i got my megadrive, i got castle of illusion (maybe with it), I played it so much I had really weird dreams about it that night (sorry, just realised that this is a dream post)
I’m sure I remember playing the train level of this when I was a kid, but looking at the previous two levels it has to be a false memory.
Bloody hell! That looks impossible even just watching it
Not a fan of Digital Foundry, but love their Retro stuff.
Also recommend youtube channels like Metal Jesus Rocks for retro stuff. He’s a nerdy hairy metal fan… but is oddly watchable.
I don’t like people fanboying out and hyping too much which is why DF retro is nice for me, the guy just talks about specs and the impact of the games release and stuff like that, I find it very relaxing.
