RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!Released in 1988 for the Sega Genesis (AKA Mega Drive), Altered Beast was one of the most fun and frustrating games I played growing up. Now, allow me to elaborate, haha.We start the game by being resurrected by Zeus himself. That’s when we, the hero in a purple tunic, embark on a quest to rescue Athena from the Demon God Neff (Yes…Neff).But this is no ordinary journey because not only can we become Giga Buffed when we “Power Up” (I can still hear it – https://lnkd.in/g39sY54V) by collecting spirit balls, but once you get a third “Power Up,” you will transform into a Werewolf, Bear, Dragon, or Tiger—each stage has one transformation, and each one comes with its own set of attacks.Altered Beast is a side-scrolling/auto-scrolling game. The stages are fairly short, but saying that the game is hard is an understatement. So much so that I never finished it on my Sega Genesis; I only managed to beat the game when I was slightly older, playing on an emulator.This is the kind of game that you have to master each stage. You need to memorize where enemies are coming from, get the timings right to avoid being hit, and deal damage. You also need to focus on beating the right three-headed wolf to get the “Power Up” (Yes, you have to read it with that intonation) orb so you can transform your character.Altered Beast is also a co-op game, which didn’t make the game feel any easier (in my honest opinion) but did ramp up the fun by quite a lot, haha.When it comes to graphics and sound, considering that the game was released in 1988, Altered Beast pushed the limits of gaming graphics on the Sega Genesis. And who could forget that awesome soundtrack? Also, considering the limitations of that generation, it was amazing to listen to some voiced lines as well.Truth be told, beyond its brief gameplay, Altered Beast left an undeniable mark on my childhood. Revisiting this game when I got older made me realize that the great memories I had about it weren’t simply “nostalgia,” and I now have a whole new layer of respect for the game. It’s a journey I won't forget.Have you ever played Altered Beast? Are you ready to rise again?#videogames #nostalgia #sega #oldtimer

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE! 🤘This was the first game I had on my Genesis :) The good ol days sitting on the carpet looking into my 4:3 Tv on top of the broken tube furniture style TV… watching my character transform was the coolest! I don’t think I’ve ever beat the game without my Game Genie 🤫

    There's a '-1 Level' in Mario 🍄 I didn't know about!And the best part? It was a glitchMario was perhaps the game that started the gaming journey of a lot of us. But what I love about the game is that even after more than 35 years the game doesn't fail to surprise me. If you follow the steps in the video below you will reach the doomed underwater -1 World. The level loops every time you reach its end, and you can’t make it out alive (unless you quit the game of course). But if you think that is weird, let me tell you about the minus worlds in the Japanese version of the game. In the Japanese version, there are not 1 but three minus worlds namely -1, -2, and -3. In the -1 world, you reach a weird fever dream world where you can swim in the sky and there are floating princess Peaches everywhere, and even a floating beheaded Bowser. When you complete this stage (which has a flag pole with no flag at the end, by the way) you reach World -2, which resembles World 7-2 but with small tweaks. Like if you die after the checkpoint Mario respawns under the bridge, stuck in a death loop till the game gets over.But if you manage to pass this stage, you reach the world -3, which looks like world 4-4 but is covered with plenty of horrible flying bloopers. As you reach the end, there is no Bowser, and the “Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle pops up on the screen” only to lead you back to the main starting screen. Now why would Nintendo design these weird worlds? The thing is, they didn’t. These worlds are the result of a glitch!These mysterious levels might seem like negative levels, but actually, they're recognized in the game's memory as "World 36–1". What's interesting is that on the screen, you don't see this number. Instead, there's just a blank space, because in the game, the number 36 is used to show nothing at all. The reason the glitch occurs is because of a misread byte.The glitch is essentially a form of memory corruption where the game tries to load a level that doesn't exist in its level table.But wait, why is there such a huge difference between the American version and the Japanese version? The American version used cartridges for the games, however, the Japanese version used a type of floppy disk. Since the data is organized in different ways in the two systems, the output of the glitch is so different. Why did I choose to share this story today?So the next time you find mind-numbing bugs in your game, just remember that even the most iconic game of all time was far from perfect. And even after taking care of everything imaginable, often the unimaginable happens. May this inspire you in your game development endeavors. Have a wonderful weekend!#games #gamedev #outscal #mario #gaming

    This is how the great Caesar of strategy games became the #underdog: have you heard of Imperator: Rome?If you're at all familiar with real time grand strategy/4x games, especially those with a historical point of view, then you know Paradox Interactive's map painting and role-playing games. Paradox has done a great job providing a lot if history buffs with their close-to-heart period in history. You can dive into medieval times with Crusader Kings III, explore the globe and expand in Europa Universalis 4, revolutionize the industrial revolution era in Victoria 3, play the biggest war ever hands-on in Hearts of Iron 4, and even jump ship to the future with #Stellaris.But did you know Paradox studios also developed a real time gsg to predate all these periods and take you all the way back to antiquity. Meet Imperator: Rome, the prequal to map gsg you never played!If you haven't heard about Imperator: Rome, it's no great wonder. The game was released with very high expectations back in 2019. Imperator: Rome was supposed to be 'Paradox's "great big game", but unfortunately, it seems the game was released a bit prematurely. Long time Paradox #gamers complained about a broken game, with a lot of bugs and "lack of flavor" as often described in the game's review section on Steam. Paradox went right into work, releasing 4 DLC pack to add flavor and mechanics to the game, and released the 2.0 patch, which overhauled the UI, and made it very aesthetic and pleasing in this writer's opinion. Unfortunately. It was too little too late, the game charts dropped with only few hundreds playing the game daily, in oppose with tens of thousands playing other Paradox titles every day.After two years Paradox announced that they're abandoning all further development and support for the game- "Et tu, Brute?" But this wasn't Caesar's dying breath, an independent team of modders developed the Invictus mod, a Mod that became very popular and affectively addressed remaining players pet peeves with the game's systems. In the meantime, more and more GS players are picking up Imperator: Rome on radar, and combining the game, all DLCs, and the Invictus mod, gamers reviews have now gone as far as to describe the game: "the best Paradox game imo". Personally, it feels like a GS game during antiquity is just what I need, and have decided to check out Imperator: Rome myself, and figure if this underdog might just well deserve the desired title of Caser.I'll check back soon!#ImperatorRome | #Paradox

    Chroma 0109 - In Which the Author Can't Wait for the End of the WorldI first played the original Fallout on PC in 1997. It was released as a demo in PC Gamer Magazine in April 1997, alongside a demo of Heroes of Might and Magic 2.Soon after the demo's release, my local pasar malam (street market) had a copy of the game. Back then, no one bought original games, nor did we know or care about the impact piracy was having on artists and game studios.The original Fallout games, Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, were tactical RPG games and were one of the main contributors to my improving English. They're the kind of games where you talk to every NPC and go through every dialogue tree to discern as much information about the world and the vaults as possible.It's also one of my favorite game lores to read. Figuring out what each vault was designed to do was extremely disturbing when you think about how these people were spending their lives living in these vaults.You didn't quite know why you, as a protagonist, were in this world and how and why the world is the way it is. In some ways, it's a reflection of reality. You don't have all the answers, and you are here. The only way to even understand what is going on is to explore the world you were birthed into, and that exploration starts to shape your world vision.Which brings me to Fallout 3. In my humble opinion, this is one of the greatest games that has ever been made. When Fallout 3 came out on the Xbox 360, it was one of the games I played religiously, exploring every nook and cranny of the world. It remains one of my favorite games of all time.I was drawn into its world again and for the first time, I got to experience it through a first-person perspective. I got to experience the haunting beauty of its desolation and the moral complexities it presented. One of the most memorable moments was the final decision in the main story – a choice that left me pondering the weight of sacrifice and the true cost of survival in a world teetering on the brink of oblivion.But what truly sets Fallout apart is its unique visual style – a retro-futuristic world envisioned by the 1950s, a blend of atomic-age optimism and post-apocalyptic despair. This dichotomy is not just visually stunning but also thought-provoking, making it an ideal candidate for adaptation into a TV series.And now, as Amazon Prime Studios takes on the task of bringing the Fallout universe to the small screen, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement. This is a chance for a new audience to experience the rich lore and moral quandaries that have captivated gamers for decades.For those who haven't yet ventured into the Fallout universe, you're in for a treat. And for the rest of us, it's an opportunity to see a beloved world reimagined. Fallout Airs on Amazon Prime on April 11!High Res Trailer - https://lnkd.in/gQpXXW8k💬#AlphaChromatica #HeyGanz #Chroma #fallout

    Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - A Redemption Story of Epic Proportions 🎮After a tumultuous journey filled with controversy and setbacks, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally reached its pinnacle with the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion 🤩Developed by CD Projekt RED, this expansion marks the grand finale of a game that has been the subject of much discussion and debate, yet now stands more deserving than ever of your attention. Whether you're a returning player or venturing into Night City for the first time, there has never been a better moment to immerse yourself in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 💪🏾Phantom Liberty doesn't introduce groundbreaking changes or earth-shattering innovations, nor does it attempt to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it solidifies Cyberpunk 2077's rightful place in gaming history. The expansion represents a commitment by the developers to their project, CD Projekt RED has not only persevered but has also created a universe that millions have come to love 🕹This story expansion not only maintains the high-quality presentation of the base game but also serves as a return to form for CD Projekt Red. Phantom Liberty acts as a testament to the studio's dedication, as they managed to turn a troubled launch into a triumph reminiscent of redemption stories like No Man's Sky and Final Fantasy XIV 🧚🏼♀️When Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.0 and Phantom Liberty are combined, the result is undeniable: this game is excellent. The original game has undergone a significant transformation, thanks to the combination of the free 2.0 update and the paid Phantom Liberty expansion. Phantom Liberty itself stands as an all-time great expansion, elevating the best elements of Cyberpunk 2077 to new heights and offering a compelling standalone narrative. If Cyberpunk 2077 had been released in this state initially, it might have been hailed as an instant classic - a timeless masterpiece. The fact that it arrived two years late does not diminish the strength of the experience 😀Phantom Liberty seamlessly builds upon the story of Cyberpunk 2077, benefiting from the technical and creative updates it has received since its launch. It introduces intriguing characters that leave a significant impact and stand out as some of the best characters in CD Projekt RED's gaming universe 🤩The main quest of Phantom Liberty is tense and thrilling, filled with exceptional characters portrayed by talented actors and unexpected plot twists at every turn. Each quest offers a unique and engaging experience, even the side quests. The newly introduced location, Dogtown, is not only visually stunning but also a deadly and multifaceted addition to the game world ✨In conclusion, Phantom Liberty is a triumph for CD Projekt RED and the Cyberpunk 2077 community. It represents a culmination of efforts to redeem a troubled release, resulting in a compelling narrative, engaging gameplay, and a vibrant game world 🌎 🎩

    With so many games vanishing into the digital abyss, we at 2infinity are excited to continue our reviews of older games, aiming to keep the memory of these classics alive. Today, we will be talking about Quack Shot.If you had a Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) when you were younger, we hope you had the chance to play one of our favorites from back in the day.Quack Shot is a gem released in the '90s, a classic platformer featuring one of the best Disney characters, Donald Duck, as he embarks on a treasure-hunting adventure. It was one of the first games I played that had some sort of 'backtracking,' where you needed to collect an item or weapon upgrade to progress further into the stages. It wasn’t always straightforward to figure out where to collect and/or use said items, which, yes, created some frustration, but it helped you get familiar with the world—from the streets and rooftops of Duckburg to Dracula’s castle in Transylvania and even the South Pole. Every stage in the game is memorable and a lot of fun to explore. In retrospect, I think that the 'exploration' aspect of this game created a delicate balance between entertainment and challenge.Gameplay-wise, Quack Shot was simple and effective. Walk to progress, jump to cross through gaps, avoid traps and enemy attacks, collect red peppers to enter Donald’s rage mode, and shoot your enemies with your trustworthy plunger gun—arguably one of the best guns in gaming history.Quack Shot has really fun and catchy songs in its repertoire—not only nostalgic nowadays, but they also tend to stick in your head after you put the controller down for the day. It’s impressive what they were able to do with all the limitations they had back then.QuackShot is proof that both Disney and Sega knew what gamers wanted and how to deliver it properly. I guess there were fewer red-tapping leaders and corporate decisions (Either that or the corporate decisions back then were a lot more on point, haha).
