Hey, my imagination was pretty good in 1990!

I don’t use mods much, so I’m purely guessing, but could that be the downloads?

Wow, I didn’t know they added podcasts to Skyrim too!

Ubisoft is just hot garbage.

Ok, so I found a novelty account on X/Twitter (“Quest 64 Official”) that has been spreading Quest 64 memes and think it’s hilarious, so I’ve been reposting them to Lemmy.

(There will almost certainly be more)

I like to think I’m immune to anything people could post from my time on the early days of the internet, but yeah, it’s like a sea of totally unfiltered opinions/content over there. There are still a lot of good fandoms, memes, news, etc., but you have to also scroll through conspiracies, political astroturfing, and every hateful thought that someone decided to write today.

Fortunately it’s not the only place I casually scour for content for the fediverse.

I think you’re right. I’ve played the arcade version too, and it’s truly brutal, but most of my attempts have been on my NES. I don’t know how similar the port is.

That’s a piece of history!

Well damn, you’re absolutely right.

I’m so nostalgic for that one. Don’t think I ever managed to beat it back then though.

I still remember the whole family crowding around when I booted it up. Everyone was fascinated by the 3d graphics.

I never convinced my parents to get me Nintendo Power… So there were many games that I just never figured out!

Thanks, I’ll just be over here browsing the AARP webpage.

I’ve missed it until the Reborn remake, which I still need to finish. By the time I get back to it though, they might have put it out a 4th time!

It could start withdrawing from a retirement account without penalty in about 6 years.

I still want to go back and play the first 2 fallout games. I wasn’t aware of them when they came out, so I wasn’t introduced to the series until 3.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 5 miesięcy temu

I do! Although I do think I prefer BG3’s turn-based combat vs real time w/ pause.

Oh good! That’s awesome to hear. I think I might even own them from some bundle in steam, but I just haven’t gotten around to playing them.

That’s like saying you’ll outgrow movies.

I’m stealing this

I love hearing about the development of the old arcade games. It was truly the wild west. Uncharted territory.

I grew up playing a lot of them on my dad’s Atari 2600, early DOS ports, and whatever arcade cabinets were still around through the 90s.

Is programming your profession?

I’ve always thought it would be a fun hobby project, but I know I’d have to learn everything from scratch

The_Picard_Maneuver, 5 miesięcy temu

They probably will, but I’ll enjoy that they’re enjoying them. I probably spent a long time on some dumb games when I was a kid too.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 5 miesięcy temu

Oh god. TIL I have a limit.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 5 miesięcy temu

Awesome, thanks!

I have such fond memories of that game and how widespread the Pokemon craze was at the time.

Chasing down pre-internet rumors, learning how to catch missingno, the cards, the show. It’s my favorite generation of Pokemon.

I still frequently play the newer xcom 1-2. I really want to play the originals, but I feel like I need to read some guide of the basics, since it’s not very clear. I assume back in the day there must have been a manual or something to reference.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 6 miesięcy temu

I never knew anyone else who played it back in the day. It’s one of my favorite n64 games though!

The_Picard_Maneuver, 6 miesięcy temu

Oh yeah, I’m playing Unicorn Overlord right now! It scratches that same itch, and I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s a little easier than I’d like, so you can pretty comfortably crank up the difficulty to the highest setting for a decent challenge.

If you like this genre (whatever it would be called), you might also like Symphony of War on PC. I played it a couple of years ago, and it’s really good. It was the first game I’d played like Ogre Battle 64 since I was a kid.

Tragic! I luckily never lost my save, as far as I can remember.

Oh wow, I had heard the name of this game, but I had no idea it was like XCOM. Thanks for the tip!
