SkyezOpen, do gaming w Gamers Above 30, What Older Games Would You Still Recommend to Younger Gamers?

Morrowind is hands down the best elder scrolls. If you want a TRUE sandbox where you can do whatever the hell you want, that’s your game. Some issues include graphics, no quest markers (you have to read the quests and follow directions), the leveling system is not intuitive at all, and combat is heavily stats based.

Upsides are you can craft any spell or enchanted item using any spell effects you know. Ring of permanent invisibility. Spell of lock every door within 50 feet. Summon 3 different daedra at once. Conjure a whole set of bound armor. Explode yourself in fire. Literally anything.

The elder scrolls renewal project is working on recreating morrowind with skyrims engine and I really hope it comes out soon.

Daxtron2,

OpenMW replaces the engine with an open source one. Runs better on modern hardware, easily moddable, has multiplayer.

The sheer amount of games available today probably makes it hard to get into many of the older gems. Hell, even I have a 30 year backlog.

I think everyone should explore:

  • The Secret of Monkey Island (1, 2 and return)
  • Loom
  • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
  • Street Rod
  • Prince of Persia
  • The Incredible Machine
  • Pokémon yellow/red/blue
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Worms
  • Mega Man II
  • TMNT: Turtles in Time
  • Diablo II
  • Burnout 3/legends/takedown
  • Skyrim

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.

msage,

There are so many ‘Prince of Persia’ games that you need to add a year to be more specific.

So they finally made a sequel?

I’m thinking about the 1989 version. There’s many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

mrvictory1,

Would you recommend a ssoecific Worms game for PC? I have “Worms” (that’s the whole game title) on PS3 which has modern 2D graphics but idk which edition to get on Steam to get a similar experience, there are so many games.

HarriPotero,
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

Just Worms that got all the ports.

I haven’t tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I’ve played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.

TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for SNES

MustardCabbage, do gaming w Gamers Above 30, What Older Games Would You Still Recommend to Younger Gamers?

Look up a top 25 list for the SNES and play every one of them

Don_Dickle,

Yea well ever since they did a huge crackedown on emulation. No thanks other wise I would download the shit out of them.

MustardCabbage,

Well, if you can afford it, the SNES classic has most of the stuff worth playing, with a couple of curiosities thrown in.

Don_Dickle,

Believe it or not and I am showing my age but still own an SNES . And that was the last system I have ever bought.

wizardbeard,

NoIntro Romsets on Archive.org for roms.

4chan’s Emulation General thread wiki for emulators etc.

They only care as far as going after large targets running rom sites (archive is much more than that, so they skirt by) and emulation of modern consoles (they go after the devs). They will never go after an individual just direct downloading and emulating shit.

chunkystyles,

Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.

Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.

Właściwie nie mam zdania, ponieważ niczego o niej samej nie wiem a o scenie politycznej w USA tyle co kot napłakał, ale perspektywa że głową państwa miałaby być kobietą cieszy mnie z uwagi na ten ból dupy, którego konserwy z południowych stanów by wtedy doświadczyły.

pastel_de_airfryer, do games w Coming back to a western open world game H:FW after Elden Ring is a massive whiplash

I recommend checking out Dread Delusion. It’s an indie open world game inspired by Morrowind.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Morrowind? I thought the inspiration was mostly from King’s Field, no?

pastel_de_airfryer,

You must be confusing it with Lunacid

RightHandOfIkaros,

Nah, that game is supposed to be inspired by KF but its not. Much closer to Shadow Tower than King’s Field.

It’s when games aren’t talented enough to give you the info you need from environmental story telling, so they just tell you what’s happening

Thank you for this. I think it’s good practice not to post plain codes but to obfuscate them in some way so that they are not snatched by bots. Not sure if this a big problem on Lemmy though.

millie, do gaming w Everspace 2: Why am I not considered a Pirate?

Are you maybe a privateer?

Privateers tended to obey a sovereign government and do all the pirate things, but directed it against the enemies of the country they were under the flag of rather than just at whoever. Privateers would sometimes become pirates, though. Basically, they’d just keep doing the same job, but for themselves.

The distinction is largely one of who gets to make the rules and do the finger pointing.

deaf_fish,

I don’t think so, seems like I am a part of a rag-tag group of people who are doing “jobs” to get rich. I don’t think we have any formal government or organization backing.

I guess I don’t know the full story of everyone I am working with yet. So there could be a twist I am unaware of.

millie,

It could also just be propaganda. They’re pirates, not us!

Behold this $400 monstrosity. This is my Xbox Adaptive controller set up mapped for Ultima Online Outlands. I’ve had a few iterations but this seems best for me so far. Can use it with some other games but that requires using WASD with my feets. It costs so much because it took 3 freaking Logitech kits to get all the buttons I needed. 😭

theangriestbird,

Omg WHOA That’s actually very impressive!

yuri,

So cool! I love that that’s first party accessibility controllers available, ain’t NO WAY they need to be that expensive though!!

cRazi_man, do gaming w Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?

I guess hitboxes aren’t weird anymore now that they’re more mainstream. Although I did make a custom layout that is unusual (if that’s your definition of weird).

lemm.ee/post/25942945

theangriestbird,

Hitboxes are something else. I understand why they are ideal, but it’s so funny to see years of ergonomic evolution compressed down to a box with a bunch of buttons on it, for more precision. Lol.

Not super weird in the grand scheme of things but I played the shit out of FFXI using this controller and when my friends found out I was using this they were astounded at my typing speed. This was back in the era of texting with a number pad so thumb typing wasn’t as prevalent as it is today.

Sordid,
@Sordid@beehaw.org avatar

I unironically wish all controllers were like this. IMO the main way hardware limits game design is the number of buttons on modern controllers; more buttons = more actions that can be performed = more complex and interesting games.

It’s not exactly weird, but I loved the giant “duke” controller for the og xbox. A lot of people hated it but I think it’s one of the most comfortable controllers ever made.

theangriestbird,

it must be hard to be a gamer with big hands. it ain’t me, but i feel for you. You know they made a special 20th anniversary re-release of the duke, right?

legopika,

And for some dumb reason they didn’t make them wireless :(

NakariLexfortaine,

Someone else like me!

I’ve always had long fingers, and The Duke was perfect. I remember getting one of the revamped controller models down the line, and it just never felt quite as good.

Still prefer X-Box style controllers on the overall, these days. Still not quite up there yet, but still better than PlayStations style, and while I think the JoyCons are absolutely adorable and clever, actually using them is just uncomfortable after awhile.
