Re: Games you love because of Cane and Rinse?
Not exactly Cane and Rinse, but I discovered one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2021 because I heard the game's seminal piece of music on an old Sound of Play. The game was: 198X Cane and Rinse has certainly inspired me to finally play some longterm residents from my gaming pile, or finish som...

Re: 557: Moss and Moss: Book II
Moss was just pure joy to play from beginning to end! I loved moving in reality to peek around corners in order to solve puzzles and discover secrets. Quill was just too adorable and the world gorgeous. While I wasn't thrilled about the way the ending set up a sequel, I admit that it guaranteed my p...

Re: 558: Dragon's Crown / Pro
A side-scrolling brawler similar to Golden Axe but with RPG elements and loot, single player Dragon's Crown Pro kept me busy until I'd seen the dwarf's ending (1 of 6 possible characters), and I'm done with it. It's fun while it lasts, the art is gorgeous (though problematic if you don't buy into th...

Re: PS2 recommendations
Some I haven't seen talked about yet: Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 - lots of old arcadey titles in this King of Fighters XI (and others) Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary - same as Capcom, but titles generally older R-Type Final - surprised I'm the first to mention it. The Red Star - maybe? It got...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast
As a carer of someone suffering from dementia, "Before I Forget" affected me deeply. Also played through "Ether One" soon after which also deals with dementia, but from a very diffent angle (and imo with far less compassion). Perhaps they (and others I don't know about) could be ...

Re: Let's remember stuff from about 20 years ago...
2002 was the year I got my Bachelor's degree in my field at the beginning of summer and immediately started a full time job doing that days later. You could say I continued the job, since I had been working for them during school breaks since 2000. University life was finally over and I moved back h...

Re: 499 - Another World (Out of This World / Outer World)
Out of this World was the SNES game I associate with a summer trip in my early teens. The art style and animation were amazing and like nothing I'd seen before, and were what attracted me to the game to begin with. Lucky for me, there was also a really interesting game to be found here. While I neve...

Re: 498 - LISA the Painful RPG
A few years ago I bought LISA based on good reviews and the promise of something "different", but then never installed it. This was at least in part due to the off-putting "grotesque Earthbound" art style. When I saw it on the playlist, I decided to finally give it a chance, and ...

Re: Hypnospace Outlaw
Managed to finish Hypnospace Outlaw. I recommend the first 1-2 hours as a unique bit of time travel to 1995-96 company-curated internet spaces (though it supposedly takes place in 1999). Seeing pages change with time is pretty cool too. To be honest though, I don't remember the internet at the time ...

If there is any interest in reliving multiplayer Quake, now is a great opportunity to do just that! The new Quake Remaster (free for existing owners) has online multiplayer support (server browser seems to only work on windows 10) with an active player base not just composed of experts anymore. The ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (21.8.21): 483 - Hypnospace Outlaw
The upcoming podcast having given me the best reason I was going to get to play Hypnospace Outlaw, I started it up a few days ago. The developers really do try to set the scene, with the computer and OS booting sounds being spot-on. I knew the game tried to recreate an internet of the 90's but not m...

Re: Our next podcast recording (19.6.21): 474 - Koudelka
After 4.5 hours and just beginning disc 2, I can confidently say that I have never played anything quite like Koudelka. This strange blend of Resident Evil with a (very) light strategy rpg combat system, taking place in a semi-historical, supernatural fictional timeline and featuring a cast of dysfu...

Re: The Euro 2020 Thread
First half Hungary-Portugal has been very entertaining so far. Before the game, I fully expected them to be behind by halftime, but they have really brought their A-game, given their major underdog status.

Re: 484 - Bubble Bobble (series)
Bubble Bobble was one of the first games I really fell in love with on my Commodore64. The simple, cheerful gameplay was lots of fun and kept child me coming back over and over, even when the frustration was mounting. I never finished it. Never even got close. But I loved it all the same. I can stil...

Re: Our next podcast recording (19.6.21): 474 - Koudelka
Unfortunately, I don't anything terribly constructive to add either. I bought a used copy of Koudelka after finding out it was a sort of prequel to the Shadow Hearts series - I was immensely enjoying Shadow Hearts: Covenant at the time. Now, 17 years later, I still haven't played beyond a few minute...
