that game was dope

For sure – it made me want to get a Genesis when I was a kid.

it rose from its grave

I immediately clicked on this thread to make a variation on this joke, and you beat me to it by an hour…in a Lemmy retrocomputing community. I knew we’d grow up one day, I just didn’t know this is what it would look like.

The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we’d pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.

It was one of the three Genesis games my cousin had while he was living with my grandma. To say it was played a lot is an understatement, however the arcade coin-sucking tactics were still in play (with no continues!) so playing it longer than an hour was painful.

Pizza King. Tell me it was Pizza King?!

beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org on 30 Apr 23:59 collapse

Sorry to disappoint, but it was not. It was Double-Decker Pizza. Except this was a small local chain of two restaurants, not the one that you find on the internet today.

And it POWERED UP

Wazowski@lemmy.world on 28 Apr 18:43 next collapse

cool video. it borrows a lot from another dope-ass game, golden axe.

I thought I recognized the little bag gnome!

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 28 Apr 19:23 next collapse

Apparently the developer did this all on their phone. I can’t even imagine.

Android is a pretty good development platform; it’s really just the keyboard and larger screen that are missing.

My Android tablet with keyboard has replaced my laptop as portable development computer, easily.

themanfromoctober@lemmy.cafe on 30 Apr 14:59 collapse

Niwana did this from their phone!

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 30 Apr 15:23 collapse

I had never heard of Niwana before today. That cover is awesome! Now I’m going through their albums and I think I just found a new favorite artist. Thank you!

Altered beast could use a modern sequel/remake/prequel.

InFerNo@lemmy.ml on 29 Apr 12:08 collapse

Check out Altered Beast from 2005.

I loved that arcade/Sega game back in the day.

I re-played I about a year ago, and omg, it’s quarter eating trash. What was I thinking back then?

Can’t wait to play the remake.

mrfriki@lemmy.world on 29 Apr 05:05 collapse

It was the most ridiculous and infuriatingly hard game back then, by a margin. It almost made Ghosts and Ghouls look easy in comparison.

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de on 29 Apr 14:47 next collapse

Yeah. It was a stupidly hard game. With unlimited lives (ie unlimited quarters) the entire thing is only a 25 minute play through.

Seleni@lemmy.world on 30 Apr 15:34 collapse

That was by design, actually. A lot of the old arcade games were like that.

It was to get people to either quit after a bit of playing so a new person could step in and give the machine money, or have the person who lost at the hard level put more money in.

Otherwise at just a quarter the machines become unprofitable. Just capitalism things.

Num10ck@lemmy.world on 30 Apr 15:36 next collapse

are new arcade games better at this?

Seleni@lemmy.world on 30 Apr 15:37 collapse

Honestly not sure. Haven’t been to an arcade in years.

I should go to one again.

mrfriki@lemmy.world on 30 Apr 16:01 collapse

I mean sure, but played my fair share off arcades back in the day and some would eat your quarters faster than others and games too difficult like this one didn’t attract much attention even if they were flashy one because we kids were broke AF.

Seleni@lemmy.world on 30 Apr 19:40 collapse

Hey, I never said it was a good design lol

This game is so nostalgic to me, I’ve played so many hours in my mega drive and somewhat I could not beat it until I could play it as an adult.

The music still give me chills
