Superior Epic [ Legendary ]
When you talk about graphic adventure games, people have a lot of questions, not least of which is “What’s a graphic adventure game?” It’s baffling that such a fantastic genre with exemplary titles has disappeared from gaming, and if for no other reason than to encourage a revival, today’s ROMiniscing is about Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle. This game is easily one of my favorites of all time for reasons too numerous to fit into one post, but I’ll give it a shot anyway.
A demonstration video I made yesterday using the magic of debugging. Shows Hibachi’s bullet patterns. All I have to say about it is holy shit.
Divided into two parts because YouTube sucks and has a 10 minute limit. More of the same. This time I make it to the level 3 boss!
The second in my series of Let’s Play! Donpachi. I get a little farther, but still no luck. This is going to be a very long road. Video after the break.
Donpachi is a danmaku shmup, also known as a bullet hell or curtain fire shooter. It’s hard (compared to other shooters) but very rewarding. This Let’s Play series is obviously on it.
A Let’s Play! is a sort of walkthrough where instead of guiding the player, the leader plays the game and offers commentary or simply shows the game. In my case, I wanted to both chronicle my attempts to beat Donpachi on a single credit, and to showcase some excellent music.
This first attempt is set to Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who. Video is behind the break. Hope you enjoy!
