I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Sometimes I read that "Postal 2" is a bad game. But in that game you can piss on a donut, leave it in the middle of a street, and a cop will find it, eat it, and then throw up. So objectively it's the *best* game.

I'm ashamed to admit that right after I recorded that clip I was compelled two eat a double pack of them.

A worm crawled up my arm and rested on my neck. When he whispered into my ear, I felt a tingle... He told me how to make a weapon to help us against our enemies.

I understand your point. But why not both? Why can't I ask for a remake of a game that's over a quarter of a century old that it could potentially be experienced by more people on platforms it wasn't originally released on, with updated assets and quality of life improvements?

Cool. Hobbyists already made GTA 1 playable for anyone who wants it: gtaforums.com/topic/986492...
Now am I allowed to ask for a remaster?

Most certainly.

Anatoly Shashkin💾 @dosnostalgic.bsky.social · 2d

Well, the other part would be here. The game itself doesn't really require much and runs perfectly fine on a slow 286 in VGA mode.

PC port of The Bitmap Brothers's GODS had in-game music, but it was only available if one had a Roland CM-32L unit (with a Roland MPU-401 interface, obviously) or a Roland LAPC-I card.

Nah. Nothing in the game is random, so as long as you get the timing right the rest is pure memorization.

To this day the only N game I've played is the original Flash one.
