In the spirit of October, let's talk Ghostbusters.
Can I tell you the #1 thing that has always, ALWAYS, bothered me about The Real Ghostbusters, ever since I was five years old?
It would be another decade before Nintendo finally released a game where you could remove layers of a woman's clothing, though instead you'd do it by beating the game really fast...
In 1996:
- The original IREM published its final video game.
- Data East USA closed.
- Taito America closed.
- Technos went bankrupt.
When the bubble burst, arcade owners had too much invested in expensive new games that suddenly weren't performing. The owners who survived became much more cautious, only going in on proven hits. But how do you prove a hit when no one is investing in the new machines?
Beat Em Ups get no respect.
Once one of the biggest genres (it's no coincidence that the first two video game made into movies were SMB and Double Dragon), they helped turn around the arcade industry when it was in a nosedive.
Unfortunately, the genre is cursed. #SpookyStories
@uneek35 And in the early issue of X-Men they were celebs. Jean had to rescue Warren from some Beatlemania at one point.
On Gritty's first birthday, I just want to remind people that if he teamed up with the Grimace, they would be Grim & Gritty.
But within only a month or so, users of J2ME-capable phones got a game of their own. Moorhuhn the mascot of a popular series of German shooter games (typically localized Crazy Chicken).
It spun-off into several racing games, starting with Moorhuhn Kart (localized Moorhen Kart).
Plus, his anger is misdirected. He’s focusing on one man, when he should really be angry at the system.
He’s the kind of Batman villain I could’ve imagined Robin Williams playing, in part because Clock King is essentially the Riddler without the riddles.
At first I assumed they simply decided to use Between's in-game model to save time. But wait. Between's in-game model (left) is different from the new Link's Awakening (right)!
Weirdly, the HD game got rid of the collar stitches now that you'd be able to more clearly see them?
