I tend to be a bit nostalgic with games I haven't played in a while but Bugdom, one of the few games not runnable in a Mac emulator, is one that I'd like to play sometime. Now, I just hope the various updates (and it being owned by Microsoft) hasn't ruined it (if that hasn't already happened). I'm afraid I may have missed the boat on this one, but Minecraft is one game that I missed out because by the time I had the opportunity to really buy it, my computer was not suited to play it and I was working. Cheese animatronics (and similar venues) is brilliant, as well as actually making the derided Night Trap-style gameplay viable again. The inspiration from the creepy old style Chuck E.
Unfortunately, this is one of those followings where the "fanbase is cancer", so I'd like to just give it a run and avoid really anything else. This one came out last year of this writing and quickly gained a following. I'm looking forward to the storyline and diverse characters (such as the hand in the toilet, pictured).
My current computer's set-up won't run that sort of thing correctly though. The only pre- Skyward Sword Zelda title I yet to have had a real go with, I'd like to try to run it in an emulator only so I could experiment with different graphical filters and to use my own controllers (as well as a save-and-defrost, as Majora's Mask is notoriously stingy with save points). The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (2000) I hope the Windows version wasn't broken the same way the Mac one was, otherwise I'd better hope for a really good Mac OS 9 emulator (yes, it is THAT OLD).Ģ. Compounding this is a bad 640 x 480 resolution, so if I try to run it on my MacBook (which still runs Snow Leopard) with the external monitor attached, it refuses to run it in stretched (which the old iMac G5 did, interestingly), leaving it to run in its tiny native resolution. Sadly, an update for Mac OS X broke the game in that it only played the first level soundtrack for the rest of the game, and by that time, it was abandonware.
WingNuts is best associated with 2005 for me (even though it had been out for several years at that point) and had one of the best soundtracks for games ever. I've picked out some thumbnails that will work should I (and I hope I will) write about them at some point. Here's 10 of those titles that I wish I could play (again). I like video games, but my current set-up and living situation have rendered several games unplayable or at least not to the extent I'd like to.
One of my goals for the blog is to fit things in that just won't go on the website, including neat scans, ramblings, or other benign things.
