    I immediately clicked on this thread to make a variation on this joke, and you beat me to it by an hour…in a Lemmy retrocomputing community. I knew we’d grow up one day, I just didn’t know this is what it would look like.

    The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we’d pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.

      It was one of the three Genesis games my cousin had while he was living with my grandma. To say it was played a lot is an understatement, however the arcade coin-sucking tactics were still in play (with no continues!) so playing it longer than an hour was painful.

  Apparently the developer did this all on their phone. I can’t even imagine.

    Niwana did this from their phone!

      I had never heard of Niwana before today. That cover is awesome! Now I’m going through their albums and I think I just found a new favorite artist. Thank you!

    Android is a pretty good development platform; it’s really just the keyboard and larger screen that are missing.

    My Android tablet with keyboard has replaced my laptop as portable development computer, easily.

  I loved that arcade/Sega game back in the day.

  I re-played I about a year ago, and omg, it’s quarter eating trash. What was I thinking back then?

  Can’t wait to play the remake.

    It was the most ridiculous and infuriatingly hard hame back then, by a margin. It almost made Ghosts and Ghouls look easy in comparison.

    • ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah. It was a stupidly hard game. With unlimited lives (ie unlimited quarters) the entire thing is only a 25 minute play through.

      That was by design, actually. A lot of the old arcade games were like that.

      It was to get people to either quit after a bit of playing so a new person could step in and give the machine money, or have the person who lost at the hard level put more money in.

      Otherwise at just a quarter the machines become unprofitable. Just capitalism things.

    For sure – it made me want to get a Genesis when I was a kid.

  Altered beast could use a modern sequel/remake/prequel.

  • InFerNo@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Check out Altered Beast from 2005.

  This game is so nostalgic to me, I’ve played so many hours in my mega drive and somewhat I could not beat it until I could play it as an adult.

  The music still give me chills
