Another World. It’s impressive how it’s done, the game is programmed in a custom bytecode, and runs on an interpreter for the game. Porting the game to other platforms just requiere implementing the interpreter.

That allowed the game to be ported even to GBA.

There is a blog post that explains everything about it, and it’s super interesting.

That’s a fun question. I’d also add Snake to the list — it’s been recreated on calculators, old Nokia phones, smart fridges, and even in Excel. It’s probably one of the most reimplemented games ever. Not as “epic” as Doom, but definitely just as portable!

Clepsydrae,

Seconding this. No joke, snake runs on my electric tea kettle: fellowproducts.com/…/how-to-play-wormy-on-your-el…

I really don’t play enough on the Switch to justify subscribing to Nintendo Online (also: fuck you Nintendo that this is even a thing), but do I miss playing MM2. Such a great game, but literally unplayable without the subscription.

In case you didn’t know, you can actually use Course World via opencourse.world on modded switches and on emulator.

mcforest,

That sounds interesting, never heard oft it. Thanks.

prole,

That’s cool

lowleveldata,

Isn’t online subscription just a standard practice for all the consoles? PC is the only platform without that

mcforest,

Considering how much your average Switch user plays online games, it might be even less justified for Nintendo to require a subscription than Sony or Microsoft. I really don’t feel like paying for that, just because I want to play MM2 every couple of months.

I liked the turn-based style of Cataclysm DDA over this real-time one. Because it was less realistic.
I had more time to think and less time to "oh shit, I'm dead."

But I like the tutorial here because it tells you clearly you're going to die a lot, in silly yet believable ways.

Every once and a while Cataclysm DDA will show up online and i’ll think “I need to try it”, but never do. I know zomboid references it so i really should pick it up sometime

lath,

It was the reverse for me. Went through a few Cataclysm versions (e, f, g), each with their own style, and Zomboid was mentioned by other players from time to time.
Someone gave me an earlier GOG version to try and it's interesting to go through both similarities and differences.

If you do end up playing Cataclysm eventually, maybe try the different graphical tilesets available. Each style can make the game feel better or worse, subjectively.
Also, I mostly used the keyboard while playing. Honestly, don't even remember if you can play with a mouse anyway...

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Is their controller support? I’m one of those weirdos who usually plays with controllers so it’s definitely something i look into for each game

lath,

Well, it has joystick support... So there's that.

There doesn't seem to be anything native, but running it through steam can make use of its controller support for most keys.

Default though, the game is built for a keyboard experience.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll probably just suck it up and use the keyboard then lol. I want to get an authentic experience after all

B42 multiplayer can’t come quick enough…

Have you tried unstable in SP yet?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I did! Day 1 in fact. It was a lot of fun. I can’t wait for it to come to multiplayer so me and my friend can go to Louisville and make a base in one of the Skyscrapers they showed off

swizzlestick,

There’s a world of difference between day 1 and the current build as well. Definitely take another look if you haven’t recently. Devs finally waking up haha.

Favourite part so far has been the lighting system & ragdolls. If you whip a car fast enough in reverse and hit a sweet spot on the swing around, you can send Z flying like baseballs.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll have to check it out because one of my favorite things to do is pelt zombies with a car and watch them flop over (said the completely sane man)

RightHandOfIkaros,

Doesn’t B42 support local splitscreen? You could try that via Steam Remote Play or something, no?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

it does support it! I’ve used it a few times before locally, Remote Play doesn’t really work for me though due to my Internet

Nooo! Don’t let more people in, that’s how your whole community fall apart in every single Zombie apocalypse!

Good luck with the sever and more players, that warning above is just “in-universe” warning, not stopping you from adding more friends 😀 At least your camp is turning into a proper base.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

As long as some Sheriff from Georgia doesn’t show up to my community i’ll be safe lol

It will be nice to have more people on though. I love zomboid but the more people to make it feel like an apocalypse the better. I can’t wait for them to add NPCs to the game just to help with that

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Are NPCs on their roadmap? Should make game more accessible to people playing alone or with less people.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I believe so! they were in the game at some point and they removed them for being buggy. I believe they’d said they’re on the road map a few updates down too

Do you usually stick to specific character roles, or just go with the flow each run?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

We usually just go with the flow, though that mostly results in us just defaulting to the same thing anyways. I always turn out as the Combat/Carpentry guy

AceFuzzLord, do games w What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong)

I vote we try it with a bunch of old point and click adventure games like Monkey Island or any other that have simplistic enough graphics and gameplay. Couldn’t tell you how to do it because I don’t know what code they run and how inefficient it could be by the standards at the time, but I feel like a lot of old point and click games could probably run just fine on a lot of modern devices that aren’t computers, if given a Doom level community support.

magic_smoke,

Already done!

Actually one of the more popular things to do with a hacked Wii back in the day.

AceFuzzLord,

Definitely heard of it. Had no idea what it was for. Good to know, I guess.

poorejustyn, do games w What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong)

My understanding is that Doom can run on any device because it is written in C. So any game written in C could be compiled to run on your target device.

frezik,

There is way, way more to it than that.

Attack of the PETSCII Robots. Been ported to a ridiculous number of retro computers.

Welcome to the age of bots.

Enjoy your perpetual unavoidable and even undetectable bias and opinion influencing astroturfing.

Paid for by whoever doesn’t want the things that you want, to influence the people around you to bite at each other’s throats and work against their own interests.

Rolive,

This is one of the biggest reasons Reddit has turned to shit.

Well certain EU politicians support SKG, so yeah it’s making a lot of corpos uncomfy

HelluvaKick, do games w Mario Maker 2 is really fun to revisit

I’ve never been the kind of person to get mad about dying in video games. Usually I just laugh or realize I’m getting sleepy and turn the game off.

Nu uh. Not Mario Maker. Shit will have me throwing my switch across the room

Red_October, do games w Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?

I think suspicious is the wrong word. Suspicious seems to suggest doubt or a lack of certainty, but the criticism is pretty predictable. Industry forces could afford to ignore it when it looked impossible to get the signatures, but now that the signatures are in the bag they’re having to take a different tactic.

SOME of the criticism is certainly genuine and exactly what it appears to be at face value, but it was inevitable that those doubts would be artificially boosted now.
