Okay, thanks.

707

Red Dead Redemption 2 could have been a great game if they would have put a little more effort into itā€¦
Like these guys did: :laughing:

Seriously, this is some crazy shit!

The Town With No Name (CDTV)

I just watched it. Has to be the greatest ā€œnon-gameā€ since at least Big Riggs! :laughing:

709

Hey you can actually lose!

What do you think, did they really include themselves in that ā€œgameā€ or are those pictures of their worst enemies?

Also: Poor :spider:

Good developers? I think weĀ“d know those! I actually had the thought with the ā€œpictures of themselvesā€ before he even said it.

But when I saw the picture in the thumbnail my first thought was it was a self portrait of Mike Mattei done in Mario Paint.

711

Yeah it looks quite similar. That must have been the development tool of their choice!
The character animations (lip-sync) was something tooā€¦

I thought the 3D animations didnā€™t look that bad for the time. But overall those incoherent art styles made it look quite horrible.

The game or the CDTV? Both together I would guess round about 600 packets. :wink:

You must be kidding!
Was there a German version of this masterpiece?

According to Mobygames there also was a DOS version!

Amiga Joker (Feb, 1992) gave it 52 points out of 100

ā€œHƶrt sich langweilig an? Ist es aber (zumindest anfƤnglich) nicht, denn im Gegensatz zur Killer-Hatz gibtā€˜s hier keine verschwommenen Digi-Bilder sondern astrein animierte Polygon-Grafik Ć  la ā€žAnother Worldā€œ. Egal, ob ein Geier im Sturzflug den Duellkontrahenten kampfunfƤhig macht oder man vom Pferd haushoch aus der Scheune getreten wird, stƤndig nimmt sich das Game selbst auf die Schippe, stƤndig gibt es etwas zu lachen. Dazu kommen knackige FX, stimmungsvolle MusikstĆ¼cke, englische Sprachausgabe und eine tadellose Pad-Steuerung. Tja, wƤre das Gameplay nicht gar so beschrƤnkt, aus dieser Scheibe hƤtte ein Hit werden kƶnnen!ā€

Would you rather play that, or Law of the West for C64? :cowboy_hat_face:

No. I still have a CDTV here. And I have The Town With No Name somewhere. (I canā€™t remember where I got it from - must have been part of an ebay auction AFAIR.)

Good question. I donā€™t think so. AFAIR my version is the English one.

I own that game too, btw. :wink:

I hope you are still enjoying Unforeseen Incidents. Have you continued to play it during the recent days?
