General Gaming What are you playing today?
stepee replied to CastlevaniaNut18's topic in The Spawn Point
It is an interesting novelty with its scrolling. I played it mostly on pc though I do think I had it on Saturn at one point too. It’s not very good as a game by any metric. It has its central gimmick which was novel for like 3 months or so, but that’s it. It’s not a total banger like Clockwork Knight because it isn’t inventive enough. -

Hey fellow retro gaming aficionados, I've been dwelling on something that's been eating me up inside, and I have to shout it from the digital rooftops: one of history's greatest tragedies is that we never truly savored an extended era of 32-bit 2D art in video games. Just thinking about what could have been if studios had pushed the envelope further in 2D instead of pivoting to 3D makes me want to fire up my Sega Genesis and lose myself in the glorious sprites of Dynamite Headdy. Let's talk Dynamite Headdy – that game is a masterpiece of 2D creativity and innovation. The level design, the characters, and that unbeatable charm! Treasure really outdid themselves. Every time I blast through its stages, I'm reminded of the untapped potential of the 32-bit era. Imagine a world where Headdy’s adventures continued with even more detailed and expressive animations, more complex and intriguing backdrops, all taking advantage of the enhanced capabilities of 32-bit systems. We were on the brink of a golden age, my friends! But no, the industry had to pivot to 3D. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a good 3D game as much as the next gamer. But there was so much more to explore in the realm of 2D. The jump to 3D was rushed; it was like being forced to eat your dessert while you’re still savoring the appetizer. We missed out on the full maturation of 2D art, which could have brought about innovations we can’t even begin to imagine. Just picture this: a Dynamite Headdy sequel with richer, more vibrant worlds, sprites that could express a full range of emotions, and gameplay that pushed 32-bit systems to their limits. It hurts to think about what could have been during an extended reign of 32-bit 2D games. We need to remember and celebrate what games like Dynamite Headdy did for gaming, and we should keep dreaming about what might have been. Maybe, just maybe, developers will realize the beauty and potential of advanced 2D games and give us that renaissance we missed out on. Until then, I'll be here, controller in hand, revisiting the classics and keeping the 2D dream alive. Keep those 16-bit machines humming and never stop dreaming of what could have been! Long live 2D gaming! 🕹️ -

A few more notes: 1) Apple isn’t off the hook I still hella want that oled ipad especially for my elliptical and that better be early May 2) Moonlight to play pc games on the macbook is a great way to do that though I might switch to the ipad when I get that cuz oled. But I’m getting a smaller ipad pro I think, so we will see. And that micro led 1600nit hdr display does look quite lovely. But either way it does make me further think do I need a windows laptop at all in the future? Also recording tracks in garage and and instant importing them to my phone RULES. 3) Holy shit can you multitask with vision running off its internal M2. I did not expect to be able to run 7 windows at once. But I did indeed layer my room with a web browser, email, txt window, 3d movie, stocks app, the photo app, and an AR version of the game battleship on my lap. I’m guessing it’s doing something clever to run this all at once and it’s not REALLY running them all and just showing the image and switching over processes or something but it is wildly cool.

Nice. I like a good aquarium. I want to go to the Monterey one near here again soon too.

Aquarium impressions pls

Sounds like some good stuff. I could definitely see this game being quite great if they steer it down the right path. It will be interesting to watch the battle between challenge and fun factor.

good choice for gaming @Brian -
For Delta it’s crazy simple. You can just download them direct and then open the rom and it will import it into a menu for the system it belongs to. You can put them on onedrive/icloud and then import from thrrr as well.

wish we had them here so I could try one -
Just in time for this: Razer's Kishi Ultra gaming controller works with damn near everything, including some foldables WWW.ENGADGET.COM Razer just released the Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller. It works with some foldable phones, in addition to Android devices, iPhones and iPads. Supposedly this one works with you leaving the case on. That is huge if it does indeed work that way. Having to take the case off is why I never really used the backbone/kishi as much as I thought I would.

No you just get the full game when it releases no matter what they price it at.

Oliver is a good addition to the team, he goes into good detail like Alex and John do, beyond simple performance/iq metrics.

idk a year or two? Plenty can be fixed, it’s still super early. They are actually putting specific effort into getting it to run well on the deck so they’ll get it working well at some point I’m sure.
