For 90s kids, there’s no need for explanation. For others, well, pokemon was a phenomenon. It was everywhere, on TV, in magazines, toys, stickers. You could trade pokemon at the school excursion on the bus.
You felt alive in this world, pokemon gen 1-2 were the pinnacle of pokemon for me. And in gen2, finishing the game, and lo and behold, there’s a whole other region (kanto) waiting for you to explore it. The night cycle in the game blew my mind in ways that I have been chasing ever since.
I know it will never be reached again, but the memory will remain as powerful as it was that evening of the early 00s. What is your greatest gaming high, that you know will never be topped again, and that you have been chasing ever since?
Hey, just in case people don’t know:
There is a very lively community still playing Doom II. There are incredible mods and maps, from minor addons to gamechanging mechanics. I enjoy the Brutal Doom-addon for it’s modern shooter feel and the heavy pixel-gore. But there is loads of other stuff, years of fun!
Ya, Brutal Doom is the fukin shit. Killer. Really. With lots of blood.
I have Selaco on my Steam wishlist. I’ll get it someday.
I already played Selaco and liked it very much. It looks phenomenal, all the particles and the mood lights, it’s such a beautiful chaos. Only the enemies are real bullet sponges, that’s not to my taste. I’d rather have shorter combats or more enemies than sinking clip after clip in one simple enemy. But it’s just a personal preference, go play it!
Well, thank you! I’ve been curious. And I don’t mind hard.
Looks phenomenal.
I was recently so excited to discover Fortress Forever also, which is the old TFC game. I dominated in that.
