#RetroGames

Un recomendable plan para esta tarde es jugar a Pig Quest; un increíble juego de plataformas para #Commodore64 que «sólo» cuenta con 200 pantallas repartidas en 5 mundos llenos de magníficos detalles aprovechando todas las capacidades técnicas del C64 mostrando gráficos dinámicos, impresionantes efectos meteorológicos y un sonido brillante con una banda sonora que aprovecha el chip SID con más de 36 efectos de lo más impactantes.
Por si fuera poco, tienes que recoger multitud de objetos y tienes peligrosos enemigos contra los que luchar como murciélagos. Añade áreas secretas, escenas cinemáticas y soporte para el segundo botón de disparo y tendrás un título casi perfecto.
Tendrás que ayudar al cerdo Frank Further a recuperar las cuatro estatuas del bienestar que fueron robadas una noche hace lunas. Desde entonces todos sus compatriotas parecen estar dominados por el adormecimiento, la inmovilidad y la indiferencia. Aventura, curiosidad, audacia y coraje son palabras que han desaparecido de su vocabulario…

My first time playing River City Ransom on the NES tonight and what a game! A two button and two player beat-down, the attacks, split paths and RPG elements really add to the enjoyment. The weapons are pretty varied too.

It was released in 1989 by Technos who had popularised the scrolling beat-em-up genre (AKA fight n' go right) with both 1986's Renegade and their 1987 arcade smash, Double Dragon.

It is regarded as an NES classic and has been on my list of games to play on the MISTer. Having spent a good hour with it, I can confirm it's going straight to my favourites list.

8.5/10

The title screen. "River City RANSOM" 
TM and ©️ 1989
Technos Japan Corp
Licensed by Nintendo of America Inc.

The RANSOM letters are written using coloured newsprint, like a ransom note.
Using a knuckle-duster, the player is bashing the hell out of two bad guys. The fight is taking place in some kind of warehouse. Text at the bottom of the screen reads "Vinny: "That's not fair!""
The opening level. A sign stating "Cross Town High School" is on the wall. The player character in blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a very nice haircut enters from the left, bad guys immediately charge towards the player.
As part of the RPG element, the player, whose name is Alex, can visit various stores and services along the way. In this picture, Alex is drying himself off after a shower. Titillatingly, his pixellated bum is visible. The text reads, "Pop's Health Club" and "Alex was very upright and the sauna was so relaxing."

Darkness es una vídeoaventura para #Commodore64 con muchas reminiscencias de Sabre Wulf en cuanto a su aspecto y temática aunque no por ello deja de ser menos entretenida.
Stan volaba con su novia en su avioneta particular cuando se estrellan sobre una misteriosa jungla africana. Ambos pierden el conocimiento pero cuando Stan despierta su chica ha desaparecido. La oye gritar desde lo más profundo de la selva por lo que decide ir a buscarla armado tan solo con una piedra.Entramos así en un laberinto de más de 100 pantallas en las que casi todo nos mata.

Todos estamos de acuerdo en que Knight Lore supuso un antes y un después en la historia de los vídeojuegos. Sin embargo este título mítico no se editó en su día para el #Commodore64 privando a todos los usuarios de este ordenador de este gran título.
Esto por fin se ha solucionado…
Steven Day y el resto del equipo de Rod and Emu (Mariusz, que hizo las repeticiones y optimizaciones, Saul, que hizo la música increíble, y STE, que hizo la pantalla de carga) han completado la primera conversión íntegra de Z80 a 6502 de Knight Lore que incluye todas las características del juego del Spectrum, siendo ésta totalmente fiel al original. (El MOS 6510/8500 del C64 no dejaba de ser un 6502 modificado)
Puedes descargarlo desde https://csdb.dk/release/?id=175766 y disfrutar de Knight Lore en tu Commodore.

In 1992 our Commodore Amiga platform game Hoi was released worldwide on two 3.5 inch diskettes, but as the US-based publisher didn't pay the royalties, we decided to release an AGA chipset remix for free in 1993.

Here's a full longplay video of the Hoi AGA Remix. We had lots of fun creating the game as three youngsters.

Sanchez y su equipo nos tienen acostumbrados a programar espectaculares juegos para Spectrum como el legendario Castlevania Spectral Interlude.
Ahora presentan una adaptación del universo cinematográfico de Alien a #ZXSpectrum e incluso aprovechan las superiones capacidades gráficas del #ZXSpectrumNext
Así se gestó este Aliens Neoplasma; una videoaventura con tintes de arcade sencillamente gloriosa y con buena ambientación, una atmósfera sonora impactante y una altísima jugabilidad.
El argumento no está basado en ninguna de las películas y es una historia totalmente nueva. La protagonista puede correr, andar, agazaparse, lanzar granadas… ¡hasta puedes quitarte una cría de xenomorfo de tu cara!

@thomzane on oldskool systems, #samples are a mess. hardware like the #NES has dedicated sample hardware called DPCM (delta PCM) or some people call it DMC, you get these 1-bit bitstreams that tell the waveform whether it goes up or down over time, and then the hardware can play that back without much resource drain. When you use #famitracker, you can just load a WAV into a slot and for the most part (barring memory limitations) it automagically prepares it for playback.

Two other ways to do samples on #retro (which are closer to what *modern* hardware does) are either (1) to play the lowest note on the hardware where the sound wave for the square wave "sticks" high or low, and vary the volume to the level of the samples, or (2) use PWM, where rather than varying the amplitude of the wave (which is how you'd visualize it on a scope) you use another 1-bit bitstream and the length of time spent on a high or a low would pull the speaker in that direction for that amount of time, and the amount of time is so incredibly small that the speaker might not make it all the way to the other extreme before it gets sent in the other direction by the opposite bit.

Duke NES'em 3D was one of the first NES #chiptunes I ever wrote, so the song was written in soundtracker, and I used a bunch of shell scripts and compilers to compile it into an NSF.

For the voices themselves, first I got Jon St. John (Duke Nukem Himself) to record the lines. Then, to be honest I did a whole lot of bumping around in the dark. I didn't really know what I was doing, other than that I knew the hardware wouldn't push out a full-quality WAV. I somehow found that using a 3-bit amplitude worked out really well. Reflecting, the octal thing was almost definitely a mistake, because that's 3-bit and the amplitude on the square waves can be 4-bit. Maybe I just mis-entered the bit depth to convert the WAV I got from Jon? There was some PWM employed as well because I then converted the sample data to a macro that would get pushed out of a square wave channel rather than the sample channel. It..... kinda worked out? If you think it sounds good, I probably just threw my hands in the air and said "good enough" because the voice was one of the last things I added to the track.

So there you go! My method is NOT the way I would recommend doing it, or the way most people do it these days, but that's how you get that exact result.

Tagging this with a few extra tags so that other people can find this weird piece of history. #chiptune #nintendo #retrogames #retrogaming #8bit

I never played Famicom before but I couldn't resist snatching the cleanest Family Computer and Disk System I've ever seen. This one's cleaner than the one on display at Nintendo NY lmao

I want to build a #retroGaming console running #Batocera #Linux #RetroArch #RetroPi or maybe #Android. Needs to be enough for #SegaSaturn games and able to run a 4k TV on HDMI. I don't care if it's #x86 or #ARM, but cheap and small would be nice. Mainly I'd like to see a vibrant community, and lots of possibilities for reuse, so maybe I just need a new #raspberrypi?

So before dyslexia made computing my career, this basic game on a BBC micro B is what got me interested in programming.

I found the code for it again last night, and 41 years later, Yellow River Kingdom is still a fun little game.

4) The Internet Archive has copies of Game Machine Magazine, a twice-monthly Japanese magazine and newsletter about amusement devices and arcades, dating from 1974 to 2002. Some really great covers in there!
