I like the fact that BOOM, a free 2MB downloadable shooter from the indie wizards at The Poppenkast, is essentially DOOM running on a souped-up Gameboy emulator. I like the fact that from a distance the enemies look like wall textures, while close up they resemble angry Apple Macintosh computers.
Above all else, I like the fact that Only You Can Save Mankind. It's not often a shooter tells me that Only You Can Save Mankind, anymore. Games are so painfully, ego-crushingly realistic nowadays.
Oh yes, and there's a shotgun (though you'll have to find it first). Shotguns always make me happy."
Evercade has teased a new DOOM release for their platform.
I hope they make a Doom themed VS unit with red lighting. it will be like the Duke 3d one they did a couple years ago.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
Well, it's better than Wolfenstein anyway :p
