Extracted arcade ROMs from Steam Arcade Game Series: Ms. Pac-Man and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection with Game Extraction Toolbox GitHub - shawngmc/game-extraction-toolbox: Python tools for extracting ROMs from games and investigating files and ran them in MAME : )
Also made 48px icons for the MAME Windows shortcuts I made for launching them ^ _^ (I use icoconverter.com for kicking out the .ico files):
Well I played that next chapterā¦ and the chapter after itā¦ and stopped at the start of the chapter after that one. Basically the other game I am playing is A Link Between Worlds and the 3d tires my eyes out after a bit and I have no real other next game up in queue to play so I ended up loading it back up and playing for an hour or so a couple of times.
I can sort of see the shape of the story now and it feels very familiar, although I should probably wait for the other shoe to drop before being sure about that. Kinda neat to have a game where virtually every voiced part so far is a woman of Indian descent.
The puzzle design has been a bit neater recently but I think it has a problem with forcing the player to sort of walk across the entire puzzle to locate every possible object in play. The puzzles are mostly rather large (and this is before the late game increase in size) and one can rarely get a sense of everything in play just standing in any one point, in fact sometimes there are stuff that are either rather hidden or actually hidden. As an example there was a puzzle recently where you had to magnetize and turn off gravity on a cube that you then use other fixed magnetized points to use to fling sorta above the puzzle you can see, if you were riding it as that happened you would end up at this upper level where youād find other objects needed to put into play to solve the other half of said puzzle. Itās not bad but one can see how things could easily fall off the tightrope of design it is currently walking.
Anyways I think Iām just gonna keep playing until I either hit a point where it actually does fall off or I am close enough to the end to see it through.
Played Vangers and didnāt know what the fuck I was doing, Iāll have to play more
I stopped when I bugged out and softlocked a puzzle and realized Iād have to redo like 15 minutes of work to get back to the same point.
That is far the coolest SF6 character Iāve seen. : )
RIP my friendās Dreamcast, it served us well with some Rent-A-Hero (new english patch), some Seaman and some four-player Power Stone 2 before croaking
will return to Rent-A-Hero, surprisingly little action for the first hour but your first act of violence is knocking out your dad (who is dressed as Godzilla) at a party in your living room while a bunch of suburban weirdos watch, promising
Lots of ODE options for dreamcast nowadways.
oh man i love that gravestone
all the burnt discs had the logos/icons for each game sharpied on 2000s style
controllers stopped working at the date/time screen so we couldnāt get past that, didnāt spend a lot of time troubleshooting but likely the controller port fuse?
Yeah, check that controller port fuse. Itās not always the issue but if it is, itās easily fixable.
Everybodyās Golf (PS4) - hands down, best golf game iāve ever encountered. an absolute joy to play
HUMANITY (PS5) - already starting to get wrecked by some of these puzzles. the unlockable stage in sequence 02 (āfan outā) has been stumping me so far. this game rules
Picked up Mk11 Ultimate since it was on sale for $10.
Got home from work yesterday and figured Iād fuck around and give practice mode a shot to see if Iād enjoy it at all or if I was gonna end up feeling like I wasted a bunch of money and want to return it.
10 hours later I was at the end of the first story mode with the boss whooping my utterly exhausted ass.
Buttobi Striker
(1994)
āRedemption gameā - is there any more sinister sounding genre? Buttobi Striker is one of Konamiās āmedal gamesā, which take tokens and pay out on the basis of skill and, to an unclear extent, the machineās whim. What naked greed! These games last ten seconds and the chance of paying back is slim. Theyāre targeted squarely at kidsā gambling receptors. I still have all of mine, so Konami cracks my wallet like an old copy of photoshop. Fortunately emulation renders all transactions imaginary. YAHO!
Anyway, you insert a coin for one shot at a soccer goal. The goalie is randomly chosen from a few options. I love the rude little rabbit with gloved hands on his ears. My best shot was a 15.
The well-animated characters have cute designs. Even the crowd members are drawn individually, with a mix of humans and animal people. I wonder if thereās a way to remove the goal layer?
Buttobi means something like āgo flyingā, ābig jumpā or āblast offā. Soaring away fast and hard. If I were localizing this game, Iād call it Superfly Striker.
Ultra Street Fighter IV (PC)
The STEAM STORE menu item doesnāt actually go to the Steam storeābut it does re-check for DLC, so that sort of worksāafter I found that there was ONE little costume pack leftāfor Decapre, Hugo, etcāthat isnāt included in the three larger DLC packs that have everything else.
Iām still a Steam noob and I was surprised by how poorly the Steam store handles the DLC listings. It doesnāt tell you which ones you already own until you look at them in your cart, it lists one (all-in-one 2011) that is already included in the purchase of the full Ultra game (but maybe not in the upgrade from Super or whatever? thatās the only reason I can think it would be there; also, even the non-upgrade version identifies as Super in OBSās window capture selection menu ^ _^), and it makes it real hard to tell that it mysteriously leaves this one small costume pack out.
Also, as far as I could tell (and Iām still not super-clear on this, I couldnāt find a list or something about it), I THINK the PS4 version includes two of those three big costume packs that the Steam version makes you buy separately for an additional $40āat least, the only one available for separate purchase on PS4 is the Horror one; and the PS4 version was also $5 cheaper than the Steam version, not even counting unincluded DLC.
But eh I convinced myself that the Steam version would have better input delay and load timesāeven though I couldnāt actually find recent info on input delay in either version; and come to think of it, load times on PS5 might be at least as good?
I have no idea. Maybe input delay would be worse on PS5 though for all I know, that seems to have been a trend in some other stuff. Well who knows, now Iām just trying to justify my silly purchase. : P
Anyway it runs good even on my ~4 yr old middling gaming laptopā300 fps in the BENCHMARK mode with everything except motion blur (didnāt try, but donāt usually like motion blur) cranked to max. : P
Sheesh! Huzzah for old 3D games!
Also it doesnāt know about Windows versions past 8, apparently. ^ _^
I bounced off the PS3 version back in 2009 after trying to go e-sports ^ D^, didnāt think much more about it after one last PS3 playthrough in 2016, but so far Iām enjoying it here in 20xx. The AI is more fun to fight against than the AI in all the other SFs I just tried, and the variety of characters and stagesāand animated story intros and endings!āis a lot of fun.
I have played this in a dying weird mall in Chiba. The mall would be torn down just about a year later.
Continuing the discussion from Games You Played Today VI (III in the west):
This game rules. Iāve been playing it for the past week or so and its absolutely bizarre combination of mechanics (cobbled together over years of patches it seems) resists easy analysis. Most of these games are easy enough to understand in terms of efficiency, but this has so many fucken levers to pull that thereās no simple answer. i continue to discover extremely powerful ways to multiply efficiency that i simply overlooked amongst all the chaos.
itās fantastic, up there with Cookie Clicker imo. thanks for bringing this to my attention!!
If you donāt mind me asking, which area did this happen in if you recall (I donāt recall the names, I just go āice, desert, beachā etc.". I saw a number of threads complaining about a later ice area when it comes to these, I just like to know when I might be heading into a disaster 
I believe I am just past the midway point and Iāve yet to hit any disastrous softlocks, although I have hit a few points in earlier puzzles where I screwed around and had to restart the puzzle due to it. Of course losing two minutes of progress due to that vs. 15 is a rather significant difference.
Great!! I started playing it again and got overwhelmed, again
Pro tip : to get the premium currency for free, you can play pachinko of course, but you can also drag the basketball in the raid menu across other menus to give it to the gameās author to unlock a daily minigame
My favorite sequence is dying to a monster, meeting death, killing death before the timerās up after getting enough +dmg bonuses, meeting deathās crying child, and trying to comfort him with ore and fish
OH!! I was wondering about that!!
I didnāt even find the pachinko game until like two days ago lol
