I still cannot believe this is for free but also is so good! When someone has passion for something, it's the best!

that it feels like watching a trek show, but with the opportunity to interact with the moral dilemmas its famous for, idk it scratches an itch i didn’t know i had. i loved it a lot.

Love those Braybrook explosions

Such an Iconic 360 game. I loved the Project Gotham series, killer soundtrack amazing cars and the more arcade style gameplay was always a nice balance of fun and skill.

I don't remember, but I never made it to level 25, probably. You are better than me. Congrats.! Now I want to play the remaster, which I found thanks to your video some time ago, thank you again. 👍 Do you have Kennedy approach game? One of my favourite on ATARI 800XL It has a new remake on the Steam now for modern PC. 😀

Hey ThisIsPete. There’s another Yarian game made by the man himself, Howard Scott Warshaw. Are yar ready for the new yars’ game?

Looks more like Rogue or its successors than Ultima, at least in terms of gameplay.

Great stuff as always. Looks like a challenging yet and unfair at times but seemingly fun single screen platformer. Take care and look forward to many more explorations into the A8 library yet to come.

Deep space nine is so good

but does it run on linux?

All nice, but when i see "type something" moment - its autodrop for me. I dont hate games with word input, but i dont like games where inputed words uses like commands/keys for something.

It's SO Ultima

Hatari can run this on pc. But if this is your favorite, do you know the Sierra games, mousetrap(!), nebulus, and JaZZy Jackrabbit and... MISSION ELEVATOR?? And GOLDEN PATH ofc!!! And ROGUE, PENGI AND STAR GLIDER!!!

I quite like this game but every time I play it I have to go through a period of readjusting to how fragile the guy is. People (well, Japanese) make fun of how fragile the Spelunker guy is but he's got nothing on Jet-Boot Jack.

An unusual game and it looks like a hard one

English Software! Legendary! No Fire Chief on those compilations though I do see Robin Hood. I had no idea that English Software were so big!

JBJ always looked really polished. Almost like an early console game from later years. The difficulty level although quite difficult, you could avoid making the same mistake after learning where you went wrong. I bought one volume with 2-3 weeks of paper round wages but turned my nose up at buying the same game with fillers on a different volume.

I have this installed on my 400 mini, as I had it on floppy on my 130XE. I think I could get to level 4 when I was a kid. I do remember thinking that his Walkman headset made him look kind of like an old guy trying to look cool (and I grew up in the 80s). I had quite a few English Software releases. Their protagonists tended to be rather fragile and prone to dying from banging their heads or stubbing their toes.

One of my all time favourites

Great video man what a classic game too. I remember when I was younger playing the NY map with my cousins such a great game and it still looks so sharp!

This actually looks interesting, and I will likely pick it up since it is relatively inexpensive and YR was my favorite 2600 game. It’s easier and more cost effective to animate 3-D models than sprites, which is why more studios are moving to 2 1/2-D over 2-D. I’m guessing that you’ve heard about the expansion of Atari 50. I’m personally looking forward to the “deep dive” they’re supposed to be doing into Berzerk.

The way that unexplored keywords float around your character during conversations is such a brilliant way to compromise between a very traditional text-parsing dialogue system and a modern, intuitive-but-highly-limited system. It was funny, when I first started playing this game I distinctly remember thinking that I loved everything about it but my one complaint was that I wished there were an easier method of remembering the keywords I hadn't yet discussed with a character without writing them down. I had been so focused on the actual dialogue box that I wasn't looking at my character and thus hadn't noticed that Fluttermind had already considered and addressed that exact concern in such an elegant, unintrusive, and effective way.

A good reminder of why I still prefer PC gaming. Backwards compatibility is just so much better.

I guess the closest modern game is GRID Legends. For the talking head shots are you able to look at the camera instead of reading the script? Or grab a teleprompter (Elgato makes a good one).

I just wanted someone to fix the other Yars Revenge 3d Rail Shooter, it was soo interesting. to bad it was never fixed.

When you're digging areas for the enemies to get rid of them, it's better to not eat all dirt in the area but rather make paths in the dirt so it takes them time to get through. If you eat all of it, they'll just move around the diameter and return much sooner since all they do is follow a wall.

I'm skeptical but I will give it a shot. Personally, if Atari wants to do something more involved than just remaking/updating their classic games, I think it would be fun if they could do something with the old Atari Force comics DC published, although the rights there are probably complicated.

I've found two different schools of thought with regard to isometric controls. Where Time Stood Still and Great Escape: push UP to go up and left. Jon Ritman's Batman, Rex Hard.. push UP to go up and right. Head Over Heels as well. That music is initially delightful but then does start to grate. Which is a shame. But a lovely concept and nicely executed too.

That looks like an interesting evolution of the property... and also explains why I couldn't kill the baddie in Yars Revenge as I didn't know about launching the Qotile!

i just don't know what to think about this, it looks interesting, but i don't get Yar vibes. If the main figure was like in the comic books, i would like it a lot more

To tell you the truth, I hadn't really heard of the IP despite watching you fairly regularly as well as dedicated shump channels (which almost always focused on arcade games from the 90s onwards). For that reason, it just looked like Wayforward getting their groove back on with an old IP - given that they made some bad 3D games recently and also messed up with the RWBY IP, I'll take something good. That said, I'd prefer even for cases like this if they could find a way to have both the original IP of shooters continue as well as this 2D exploration platformer. Mario has kept 2D and 3D platformers, RPGs, sports and even had variety in each. Sustaining 2 styles isn't easy but can appease people.

I can't help but feel going for the colours was a detriment to this version of the game, especially considering the original (which I guess would have been the Dragon over the CoCo) was running in monochrome (for the resolution). I love seeing folks go beyond the basic inspired-by-Ultimate tropes for their isometric games, but some of the room design feels like it's blocking a little too much of the view, and that's something I'm not a big fan of. Especially when trying to get to grips with a room.

in the nicest of respects, I get guru larry vibes I can only imagine how impressive a modern day PGR would be with the tech we have today

Definitely the ST version looks like the much better version. Definitely completely this game in one go would be a daunting challenge. Honestly, no shame in doing save states. As always, I appreciate all that you do and look forward to many more episodes yet to come.

I saw ads in Antic and ANALOG for Airball, but the Atari 400 Mini was the first time I actually played it. So far I’ve had a bit of a hard time really diving into it, but it has always looked interesting.

I have never even heard of this game, but it seems so "innocent". A ball that slowly looses air, giving it a timer. We weren't really past the arcade phase. And yeah, it sounds like the rhythm or drums or whatever is slightly out of phase.

Totally agreed that they don't make games like this anymore - the perfect balance between simulation and arcade handling, IMO. Great feeling of progression and a great selection of cars and tracks, and I did enjoy wandering around the garage and admiring my car collection - and in the case of PGR2, playing Geometry Wars!

I like isometric games, even if they are often not very easy because of this perspective

had this for the Atari st, very hard game but challenging. these games got me into Drawing Pixel art on 8bit and 16bit.

ThatIsPete indeed 😂

interesting, looks like an enjoyable game

That was great gameplay, buddy. And long live the mother of modern consoles, the Atari 2600.

I can't play either XBox 360 Project Gotham Racing game right now because my XBox 360 died two years ago but I'm trying to remember if there's anything unique to PGR 3 that didn't also appear in PGR 4, which I think was the only game in the series that had every location from its immediate predecessor. PGR 3 was an amazing launch title for the XBox 360 but, in retrospect, it kind of feels like PGR 4 Prelude to me and I'm not sure whether that's a fair assessment of it or not.

We had this on the C64 back in day - pretty much identical to this version, except with multi-coloured enemies. Lots of fun, and, yeah, the music and Minteresque level names are brilliant 🤘👽🤘

Never really was a fan of Q*Bert. This looks way more appealing and fun for me. Definitely looking forward to more videos yet to come.

Miss you Bizarre Creations. Gone, but not forgotten.

The Last Starfighter was one of the best games on ATARI 800XL.

That looks more fun than Q*BERT, $10,000 prize notwithstanding. Double jump for the win!

The sad fate of so many modern racing games - car licensing issues dooming them to obscurity.

I wish you would've included a sound fragment of the kudos ticking up. But that's just a minor gripe, I enjoyed the video so thanks for that!
