    Each player needed a copy of the game. Game Boy Advance had a bootloader that could receive data to run a multiplayer game with no cartridge.

    I had the green Gameboy, but this makes me wish I had chosen yellow. Yellow looks sharp.

    Shout out to all my transparent purple homies.

    ShunkW,

    I was a transparent purple homie. Ended up having to write my name on it because all my friends were too and we didn’t wanna accidentally switch them up. One of the group was notorious for not taking care of his shit and I didn’t wanna end up swapping with him on accident and getting a janky boi

    I remember it for Pokemon, but also for those Zelda games that were a pair - Oracle of Ages/Seasons? But I don’t think it let you do much, just continue a game save when you finished one of the two games.

    dinckelman,

    Four Swords came with Link to the Past too. Never played it, but it’s exclusively multiplayer, as far as I know

    ouRKaoS,

    Four Swords is the most competitive co-op game I have ever played. It’s brutally fun, but you’re going to want to punch your friends in the throat after about 30 minutes.

    This comic is an accurate description of the experience.

    The Oracle games didn’t actually use the link cable, they had a password system.

    TheSchatz,

    It had both! You could use either a link cable or a password to continue your game in the opposite title, and to bring over the rings you had from the original save. At the jeweler’s shop, the red snake was for password transfers and the blue snake was for link cable transfers!

    Oh thank you! I knew the password existed because I was able to do it with only one system, I did not remember having the other option!

    Yeah PVP Street Fighter!

    Oh I remember these. It was hard to get to a seat on the school bus because there were cables connected all across the aisles.

    the link cable is also pretty nice for midi synching

    Big fan of this series.

    Only gave Skyrim a try a few times, the combats a bit clunky and the game feels repetitive. It can look very good though, especially with mods. The world is interesting.

    morphballganon,

    the combats a bit clunky

    Compared to what?

    cyberpunk007,

    Compared to nothing, it’s clunky

    morphballganon,

    You can’t think of a game with non-clunky combat, and you still mark Skyrim down for it?

    cyberpunk007,

    Your argument is just weird. Ok how about elden ring. Doom eternal. Cyberpunk 2077. The Witcher 3. Stardew valley. I dunno what you want from me but the combat in Skyrim is clunky.

    morphballganon,

    Asking you to clarify your argument is not me making my own. That’s a straw man fallacy.

    Also Skyrim’s combat is much better than Stardew Valley’s…

    cyberpunk007,

    You’re entitled to your view and that’s ok.

    Rai,

    I’m hella on your side, “compared to what” is a fucking stupid question. I love Skyrim and it’s clunkier than old style Monster Hunter games. Mods help but dang… it clunky. It’s only NOT clunky when doing archery the whole time, which is why everyone does that. The arching is good… also with mods… and in VR.

    Even Fallout 4’s combat is less clunky and it’s CLUNK AS HELL

    Rai,

    cringe

    morphballganon,

    Stardew has no dual wielding… only one type of attack per weapon. There are bombs, sure.

    Compared to Skyrim though?

    Rai,

    THAT’s your response?

    That’s very funny.

    morphballganon,

    … are we playing different games, or are you a troll?

    kronarbob,

    It’s the combat part of the game that made it hard to me to play Skyrim. I use some mod and play a mage to avoid playing with weapons, because I find the combat system slow and boring.

    I’m replaying Dark Messiah. The game aged, but its combat style is still as dynamic as I remembered. Back then, It’s because I compared it to the Oblivion one that I didn’t played Oblivion more than a couple of minutes.

    Koen967,

    The combat is honestly my problem with most Bethesda games. I enjoy the environment and story, but the combat feels lackluster to me. Hits with any kind of weapon feel like they miss impact on the enemy. Other than that, great games.

    @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

    I have a mod in here called Valhalla Combat irc. Idk if it fixes your issue with the combat but it adds things like a lock on to make it much easier to keep a flow

    cyberpunk007,

    I’ll keep this in mind thanks!

    I used that cable for my Gameboy printer more than anything.

    I got mine at launch back in '98. Never played Pokemon. I’ll never forgive it for ending the middle school yoyo trend that I was really good at.

    Multiplayer tetris was fun! Whenever you completed a row, you’d send it to your opponent!

    Got one for my birthday once and managed to leave on the steps in the breezeway. It was gone inside of ten minutes :(

    I think there was a Bomberman game on the GBA that used the link cable for multiplayer too that I remember playing

    Reminds me of this old Digital Blasphemy wallpaper from 2000.

    I can see the resemblance. I think mine is just missing the lake. It’s uncanny how similar they look

    bungle_in_the_jungle,

    Maaaaaaannnnn… You’re taking me back. Holy cow. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    paultimate14, do gaming w I only ever used it for Pokemon, but I'm sure there were other uses.

    Were there other uses? Yes.

    Were they common? Well, just look at the GameBoy pocket. At the time it was designed (it released 7 years after the original GameBoy) there were a lot of people at Nintendo who wanted to get rid of the port entirely because it was barely ever used. They ended up compromising by using a different, smaller, cheaper port that needed an adapter to work with the regular ones.

    Which was kind of a pain for some people because the GB Pocket and Pokemon both came out in Japan in 1996 lol.
