RetroGaming@lemmy.world•It's kind of funny how many late 90s games had at least one drum and bass trackEnglish
2·10 months agoJohn Frusciante from RHCP likes making jungle/dnb?
My mind is blown!
I actually checkout his album on Bandcamp, it’s pretty good.

3·10 months agoMovies from that time period also had a lot of drum and bass tracks.
It was a (relatively) new genre in the late 90s and it works well for energetic scenes and gameplay.
GTA2’s Funami FM had some drum and bass influenced tracks. The GTA2 intro movie used drum and bass in a way that’s very reminiscent of the time period:

GTA3’s MSX FM had some top notch drum and bass tracks from the legendary (by electronic music standards) Moving Shadow record label.
Unreal Tournament 99 had drum and bass tracks.
Michiel van den Bos - Forgone Destruction
System Shock 2 also had great drum and bass music.
I wish this trend of using drum and bass tracks would become popular again, it’s a such good fit for intense/energetic scenes and gameplay.
It’s also great for that cold and clinical, yet psychedelic sc-fi ambience (like the Engineering track from SS2).

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•This brilliant Skies of Arcadia is 25, so here's the story of why a screeching noise and a sense of terror is the main thing I remember about itEnglish
2·10 months agoI am not into JRPGs (or console games), but this does sound interesting. I have always liked “flying ships” settings.
I wonder if we’ll ever see a proper pc port/remaster.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•A Blunt Message Against Collective ShoutEnglish
1·1 year agoLooking through Steam tracker it does seem to be incest and fetish porn games removed:
https://steam-tracker.com/ (you can sort the table by date).
Or am I missing something? I am genuinely curious.
I am no supporter of Collective Shout, but there are many examples of US tech companies ignoring local laws due to a toxic mix of corruption and arrogance. Steam initially not giving refunds is one relevant example.
I don’t understand OP’s post. If you want sexy/porn games on Steam (I even have 1 or 2) best option is to comply with local laws and get rid of incest, rape and extreme fetish content.
The devs can setup a patreon (without explicit references to incest) and email new builds to subscribers. It’s not unreasonable to expect a few hoops considering the nature of the content. I would even go as far as saying that it’s in their benefit to keep a low profile (i.e. not be listed on Steam).

1·1 year agoIs it though?
Valve openly refused to honour legally required refunds because of the culture of corruption and criminality that is unfortunately extremely prevalent in the US.
I believe it was complaints from Australia that forced them to provide refunds on a global level.
How is this different?

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•A Blunt Message Against Collective ShoutEnglish
11·1 year agoAre you sure that something like incest wasn’t illegal to start with in many places where Steam operates?
I would speculate that many places ban incest containing media and Steam simply didn’t bother following these rules.
That’s a whole different discussion compared to the messaging in OP’s text.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Unstoppable Gorg (2012), the Plan 9 of tower defense gamesEnglish
4·1 year agoI actually remember hearing about this when it came out.
Kinda freaky to think that 2012 is retro these days.
Thanks for sharing!

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Warrior or Sorceress? With Reals of Chaos (1995), you get both.English
2·1 year agoReals of Chaos
I was wondering why the name sounded so strange (more so for the 90s). Turns out it’s “Realms of Chaos”.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Which of the Half-Life Expansions are your favorite?English
3·1 year agoI liked Blue Shift the most, I just wish it was longer.





I’d say remaster to remake exists on spectrum. On one side you can have a “strict” remaster with graphical / modern compatibility updates and bugfixes, on the other side you can have what is essentially a different game, but one with common gameplay/themes/narrative. And then you have everything in-between.
Haven’t played the original, so it’s difficult for me to accurately judge, but I think this is some what universal.
