Like that level in the forest, where there are random enemies, wall-walker robots, all being used by a werewolf guy who can (for some reason) shoot magic fireballs. Just like how in First Samurai, where you spawn out of this weird howling face, as a shirtless buff samurai and fight creatures that look like Geiger's Alien.
This isn't knocking them as games. I loved them back-in-the-day and I have no personal problem with such things. However, you can see the problem. They're just nonsensical for so many reasons; a kinda weird mish-mash of different things that are just designed to be eye-catching and/or fun, without much in the way of logic. It's a bit like how British videogames 5-10 years before on the Speccy went through an era of games which were pythonesque and eccentric, because the random, chaotic nature of that humour suited the medium.
It's weird to explain because in some respects, God of War is no different - yet it is. I think anyone who sees God of War in any of its incarnations, despite the violence, can see a thread of something meaningful in it. The locations look like places, the enemies inFPS games appear in bunkers, trenches and pop up from behind tables (instead of just being stood there).

Ms Pac Man – another video where I was genuinely surprised how many conversions the game got! Interesting the Super NES/Super Famicom and NES/Famicom both got different releases....

If recording is still an issue Dosbox has a built in recording function you can stop and start with ctrl + alt + f5.Last edited by Cepp; 22-04-2019, 11:38.
