Pac-Man World Rally (Gamecube - 2007, Smart Bomb Interactive) | 4K 16:9 Cherry Cup, normal 1st place
Fun, largely forgotten kart racer from obscure developer Smart Bomb Interactive out of Salt Lake City, who made a trio of quality games back in the late 2Ks (this and two Snoopy flying/shooting games) and unfortunately have been making mobile games since under the name Wildworks.
One of about 50 Gamecube games (www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_GameCube_games_with_native_widescreen) that had a native widescreen mode. As with many of those games back when widescreen was a new technology, the gameplay itself is in proper 16:9 but most menus are still in 4:3. Because I'd never stretch a 4:3 game to 16:9! When I'm elected video game president in the future, people who stretch 4:3 games to 16:9 will be sent to video game jail.
This also saw versions on the PS2 and PSP, and people say the PSP version is the best one thanks to extra characters and courses.
Technically retroachievements are also active as you can see when the game loads, but for whatever reason they're not actually synching with the Retroachievements site in Dolphin.

Einhänder (PS1 - 1997, Squaresoft) | 4K quickplay w/retroachievements
Переглядів 12 години тому
A fantastic shmup that's reminiscent of G.Rev's Border Down but even better. Einhänder throws all sorts of different perspectives at you from flat 2D to 2.5D to full on first person 3D, and it works to keep things fresh. The cyberpunk atmosphere is also top notch. I haven't played this since the '90s so I'm struggling on the bosses here, who have very specific movesets you need to learn. So I j...
Xevious (NES - 1984, Namco) | 4K quickplay w/retroachievements
Переглядів 57 годин тому
A home port of one of the most ported games ever 28 by MobyGames' count and that's not even including all the Namco collections it's in. And while not the first vertically scrolling shooter, it really was the one that made that genre style explode. A rather poor run here but I'm going to blame it on it being Friday night and being a few cocktails deep. I mean, my first death was because I misto...
ByteBusters? (MSX - 1984, Aackosoft) | 4K quickplay
Переглядів 29 годин тому
A really poor Space Invaders clone but the '80s were the height of bedroom coders people learning to program on various computers via magazines and books and this is one of those many, many examples. It's not like this was a commercial product. It's difficult to find direct information on this game, or what the game was even called. The ByteBusters was the name of a programming team working for...
Eric and the Floaters (MSX - 1985, Hudson Soft/Kuma) | 4K quickplay
Переглядів 19 годин тому
The British version of the original Bomberman game from 1983 that was released on a billion Japanese computers (MSX, Sharp X1, PC 8000, etc. etc.). This version was made in 1984 for the MSX (again) and ZX Spectrum and was called Eric and the Floaters so as not to associate with bombs during the Irish Troubles. Outside of a few similarities it's not the Bomberman we all know and love yet, this r...
Aqua Polis SOS (MSX - 1984, Nisso) | 4K quickplay

Neat little MSX exclusive game by Nisso Corp, who made four such MSX exclusive games, all in 1984 (at least that's what Moby has). Dive your submersible craft to one of the platforms on the seafloor to pick up people and bring them back topside, while avoiding giant seahorses, a bunch of weird floaty things, and nuclear missiles. You know, standard ocean stuff. You also have to open and close t...
Lords of Thunder (PCE/TG CD - 1993, Hudson Soft) | 4K quickplay w/retroachievements

Wanted to play this version quickly after playing the Sega/Mega CD version to the final boss just before (link here: ua-cam.com/video/RIO3x7ERQRU/v-deo.html) to compare the differences. The Sega-16 link below goes into depth on the differences, most of which I agree with but some I don't. The TG/PCE version seems more difficult, but like I said I wanted to play it quickly and was mostly looking...

Android Assault (Sega/Mega CD - 1993, Human Entertainment) | 4K longplay w/retroachievements
Переглядів 314 годин тому
Known simply as Bari-Arm in Japan, this excellent but obscure horizontal shooter unfortunately has been stuck on the Sega/Mega CD since 1993 with no re-releases or inclusion in collections. It's a bit on the easier side, which is certainly not a bad thing for a change when most games in this genre are aimed at the hardcores. The graphics, music, powerups, gameplay; every element of the game is ...

Streets of Rage (SMS - 1993, Sega) | 4K longplay w/retroachievements
Переглядів 521 годину тому
Died on the final boss, because of course I did! 😤🤬☠️ As far as Streets of Rage ports goes it's probably the worst looking not counting the GameGear version, but that's not to say it *is* ugly. As far as Master System games go, it's quite nice looking. Certainly doesn't play as snappy as the arcade or Genesis versions though. It was released a couple years after those two versions, too, long af...
Super Boy I (SMS - 1989, Zemina) | 4K quickplay
Переглядів 121 годину тому
Korean company Zemina created bootlegs of the three Super Mario games from the NES along with the SNES Super Mario World for the Master System, this being the conversion of Super Mario Bros. 1. Except they didn't do a very good job of it, to put it mildly. The screen scrolls slowly enough to give you a headache, Mario jumps straight into the air as long as you hold the button, sometimes your fi...

Nice home port of the more elaborate (and elaborately titled) Sega arcade game Teddy Boy Blues.

Lithium City (Windows - 2020, Nico Tuason) | 4K first play
Переглядів 2День тому
Decent game that's a little twin-stick shooter, a little beat 'em up, and a little puzzle-platformer, brought down by a frustrating camera angle. I think if that camera angle were a little more overhead it would be easier to tell if you're in someone's strike range, but as it is there's too many times where dudes are hitting me or I'm not close enough to hit them and it was a surprise to me. Pl...
