I kind of feel a lot of 8 bit era games haven't aged the best. But there are a few that I love. Of course smb3 is really outstanding. That game is timeless and really showed how well Nintendo can make games. While I may personally prefer smw, smb3 was in my eyes the first to perfect the side scrolling platformer.

Mother is another game from the era I enjoy a lot. It hasnt aged as well as smb3, but it's still a fun game to look back on. I feel the game was a bit ahead of it's time, and with a few gameplay changes I think it would still be worth playing for any jrpg fan today

Lol I was just about to post this. Yeah this is a decision for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if this causes another big spike in Lemmy usage

Yeah I think the display port plugs into the headset and that's the picture data. The controller data is via Bluetooth

Just for the controllers I believe

Really great piece. Thanks for sharing!

Please be(e) nice when on our instance. You can not like the publication, but it isn't nice to be callous towards people losing their jobs

Kind of sounds like rocket slime. I looked up games like that and found this. Older than a couple months ago but maybe keeping on the trend of rocket slime like games will help you find it?

Edit: a sequel to this came out in late 2023 so maybe that's it

Sony has owned Bungie since 2022

It is! Got it commissioned. Artist's twitter is in my bio :)

You could play mother 1 for sure if it interests you, although it's aged the worst out of the 3 in my opinion.

Sad about Mario world :( I find it to be one of the least floaty Mario games, partially due to a mechanic in the game that isn't present on many others where the speed of your fall is controlled by holding the jump button (many games have variable height by holding the jump button, but few have it so the speed of the fall down is controllable)

As for silent hill I'd argue that they could be seen as more puzzley. There are bosses and enemies of course, but it's not usually a constant enemy fest. In silent hill 2 (and maybe 3 I can't quite remember) there are separate combat and puzzle difficulty settings, so you can set easy combat and hard puzzles. Of the original silent hills id recommend silent hill 2 the most. You don't need to play any others to get it, it's a self contained story.

No it's not rewritten. Mainly I just think the pre rendered picture movement of the original can be harder to explore and piece things together than the fully 3d environment of the remakes.

As for Zork, I only played a very small amount for a school assignment lol. I considered it esoteric in a way I feel all text adventures are, but I really don't have enough experience to say.

I'll list off some of the older titles on my faves list

• Earthbound is on there, so glad you got that one :)
• Mother 3 (GBA)
• Mario and Luigi superstar saga (GBA)
• Super Mario World (SNES)
• Super Metroid, zero mission, fusion (SNES and GBA)
• Myst (lots of platforms these days but originally pc)
• Resident evil 1-4 (ps1-2)
• Kirby superstar (SNES) / Kirby superstar ultra (DS)
• Silent Hill 1-4 (ps1-2)

I'm def missing some here. I would argue not all of these have necessarily stood the test of time if we look at it from a modern sensibility lens. Particularly resident evil 1-3 and silent hill 1 can be a bit difficult to play if you can't get used to tank controls. And Myst can be a bit esoteric, especially the older versions.

Besides that though I really do think these have all stood the test of time. I would like to particularly shout out the original re4. Despite having a recent remake that I adore potentially more than the original, the original is still so good even to this day. It is wild to me how well it still feels to play

Yesss its such a good hack! I loved version 1.0 but 2.0 is a whole other level. No other hack touches it in terms of qol features in my opinion. And it's endlessly replayable. Pokemon distilled down to its best bits!

Not on steam but you can get it drm free from their website with a native Linux version :)

You should watch the wire if you haven't!

Me :3

Thought a lot about what to say to such news and really I can't find anything. This is simultaneously hilarious, dumb, awesome, baffling, and genius. The fact that some silly SFM slop can become a Michael Bay backed media franchise is kind of fantastic
