Duke Nukem 3D - Real Sega Saturn Gameplay
The Sega Saturn conversion of this classic PC game is among the best you can get, on the machine itself only surpassed by Exhumed. The PAL version I recorded here from my real Saturn is well adapted from the PC to PAL machines. The screen is a bit larger than on NTSC machines, making use of the higher PAL screen resolution, and speed is adapted accordingly. Absolutely well done by Lobotomy Software! Too bad I ended up in a dead-end at the end of my recording - or it is not a dead end? Anyway, after almost 30 years not playing it I simply did not remember... ;-D

Eliminate Down (2024) - Real Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) Gameplay

This is gameplay footage, recorded from real hardware, for the 2024 retro-bit re-release of the 1993 Soft Vision / Aprinet game. Apart from the missing Sega logo and retro-bit credits on the title screen, this is the same game. This video shows my first attempt of playing it in easy mode; made it into stage 4 at least. Overall, it is a nice shooter for the platform, but does not reach the quali...
Alundra 2 - Real Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1) Gameplay

The successor to the 16bit-style Alundra 1 departed from the original in many ways, most notably with it's move from 2D to 3D. Released in 1999 by Sony, developed by Matrix. In the first hour of gameplay shown here, we accompany our hero, the pirate Flint, first in a stunt on an airship, then on his first adventures on land. The storytelling and characters have a tendency for overacting and sla...

Guardian's Crusade is a little-known, but system-exclusive JRPG developed by Tamsoft and distributed by Activision in 1998. In the first hour of gameplay shown here, we start into the story how a boy meets a strange creature. The adventure doesn't really start yet, but this video gives a good overview of the gameplay: Classic, turn-based JRPG fun. The developers implemented lots of quality-of-l...
Ys - The Ark of Napishtim - Real Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) Gameplay
Просмотров 263 месяца назад
This 2003 JRPG was initially a Windows-only game, 2005 ported to PS2. This is just the first half hour of gameplay, including the FMV intro. This allows you a glimpse at the cheesy voice acting and the game's 3D engine - until I prematurely meet an untimely death in the first battle scenes. Seems I should've grinded more. Oh well, doesn't seem like I will ever go for a second try... Recording E...
Starblade - Real Sega Mega CD (Sega CD) Gameplay
Просмотров 1023 месяца назад
The 1991 arcade game Starblade was ported in 1994 to the Sega CD. Developed and released by Namco. While the original arcade game had filled polygons for enemies, the Sega CD only manages wireframe polygons, which makes visibility challenging sometimes. Still, slowdowns occur. Overall, the game is quite hard - too many stuff is going on all at once, summing up to a chaotic gaming experience. No...

Well... It's MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head, designed and developed 1994 by Radical Entertainment and published by Viacom. Even though released late in the system's lifecycle, it does not have a region lock. Do you need to play this? If you are a Beavis and Butt-Head fan from back then, then probably yes. All other's, better stay clear of this strange game... It seems to be a crude mixture between ...

The 1993 Mega CD game "Devastator" is a system exclusive, only released in Japan. Developed and released by Wolfteam. This video shows the first 60min of gameplay, up until the boss of stage 6, which I didn't master with my first try, even on "easy" mode. Playing this again after many years I was pleasantly surprised. Back then I never bothered to play past stage 1 because it is really quite du...
The Secret of Monkey Island (Shadow/Highlight Mode fix) - Real Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) CD Gameplay
Просмотров 1457 месяцев назад
The 1993 Sega Genesis / Mega Drive CD version is infamous for a bug. This version displays everything 50% darker as intended, due to an incorrect use of the console's so-called Shadow/Highlight graphics mode. It is really astonishing that this grave bug slipped QA back then. Lucky for us, in January 2022 Master Linkuei created a fix (www.romhacking.net/hacks/6540/) which corrects this grave err...

Microcosm - Real Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) CD Gameplay
Whenever I hear the PAL version of the theme it throws me off because of the slow tempo, I played the heck out of the NTSC version when I was a kid and am used to the faster pace. I've always preferred the Atari rendition of the theme over the C64 because the extra sound channel makes it sound much more full. Are you playing this on the base Atari 800 or Atari 800XL?
@@tm0054 This is recorded from a base Atari 800 :)
Sega was (is) the greatest home sprite machine with 68k and z80 onboard -- people who made it in late ~80 overjump the time
Thank you for posting this, always wanted to see the gameplay. I remember seeing the advertisement on the inside cover of the 'Law of the West' game I bought and could never find the game to buy......38 years later I remembered that memory randomly, and here I am in 2024.
The gen z brain couldnțt handle this
Mind blowing at the time
damn. i saw the tweet from 2023 about 100% of your viewers beign from 45-54y old. i feel like a baby now... 😔
Why does it tell you to 'ENTER PASSWORD' when you just finished the boss?
That was my "facepalm" moment too, and I stopped recording... 😅
Roblox
Wished they remade that STRPG Dark Wizard for the Nintendo Switch. 🧙♂️
And you were doing so well.
Hey, thanks for introducing me. I didn't know the version on the Saturn yet. Back then I played it with my friends on the PC on the LAN. Unfortunately the xbox 360 version is no longer as nice.
I heard that theme in Spore too!
Yes this is how Spore designer Will Wright honored M.U.L.E.'s legacy :-)
How can i get the rom to play this game?
@@petercriscuola To my knowledge the game is still on active sale as a cartridge version only. Therefore: No legal way to a ROM file currently.
That background hum is what takes me back the most.
Yeah... Not avoidable as I record from real hardware with analogue video&audio chain. But you are the first to pin nostalgia on that - I find it a bit annoying - nowadays more than back then 😅
👍👍❤️
This game is responsible for many nightmares for a 4/5/6 year old me. Probably responsible for giving me an anxiety disorder. Watching the intro still makes me anxious, lol.
Yeah it's quite creepy, strange it got an "E" rating ("for all ages")!
Starblade is generally more demo than a game. It is an unplayable BS. Unfair and impossible to gets thru.
Heh, Tamsoft. They had so many interesting games(e.g. Choro Q) back then.
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Sega Game !
It's been 20 years since 1st time I played it. I still don't understand the rules xD
It's a good game, but on PS1 on the wrong platform. Better play it on PC, with keyboard+mouse it's much more intuitive than with joypad or joypad+mouse.
@@CarpeLudumGGS after 20 something years lol
The backgrounds are so static and dull.
🤣
I like these colours a lot better. Now we need a means to get the regular VIC output to become RGB and match this palette.
Oof! Grew up on C=64 NTSC and I didn't know what people meant by this being off-tune. Thank you for preserving it! Also a fun little reminder that EA was once ECA, probably before it bought out hell and filled it with lootboxes.
Maybe 20 years ago, some people were playing the C=64 version (in-person real hardware IIRC?) and they supposedly managed to get a cooperative score of A MILLION. Now I'm not the greatest player, but I've loved this game for four decades. If M.U.L.E. Online continues to mature and standardized game tourneys with proper recordkeeping ever becomes a thing, I would love to be part of a co-op effort like that.
Never heard of "a million", especially not on C64. But there is a bug/feature in the original Atari version which allows pushing up the colony score significantly by performing a commodity transaction at the highest possible price in the last auction phase (turn 12 before final scoring)
Had this game. I kept dying because I couldn't find fresh blood in time. Terribly hard game.
I loved this game. How in the world they havent done anything with this IP is beyond me.
Back in the 80s This game was the stuff, if I could play it now on my high-end gaming rig, I would. Thanks for sharing.
I love this game. I wish it had a sequel, the way it ends I thought for sure there was going to be one but here we are and still no sequel 😢
Imagine getting blown away with that awesome intro music............ ........then theres no ingame music
My childhood
omg, I used to have M.U.L.E. parties in high school (1985 & 1986) where I got 3 computers and we stayed up all night. Glad its not dead
What a strange game
It's educational.
NES version my fav
it is such an awesome game. EA, Epyx and Lucasarts were the bomb in 80s games programming.
Sorry for the audio problems in the beginning. Newbie streamer 😅
Is this true??? online?
yes, muleonline.com
OMG i forgot this existed!!! i remember playing this on my commodore 64!
Best game ever. So many late nights playing this.
With AI soon, you'll be able to remaster this game with a text prompt.
Let me know when you achieved that.
Are you being intentionally mysterious? WTF is M.U.L.E.? At least link an explanainer vid in the description. I need some context to be able to appreciate this. Am I watching greatness beyond all measure, or am I watching someone cross the road, a chicken perhaps?

I might just be impatient here, but I was wondering about how you got this screen, as I wanted to test the colour output myself.
It's just a simple BASIC program; I don't remember where I got it from though... Probably from a Lemon64 or Forum64 VDC thread
20:20 - ;)
Yeah, sexist depictions like in this scene would not be tolerated today anymore; but the 90'ies were different times...
@@CarpeLudumGGS Not tolerated by "professional" complainers, maybe... real gamers who actually played and/or bought the game, not so much, if at all.
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Genesis Games !
Awesome Video Watching in Texas
Absolute hidden gem in my opinion.
7:17 LOL
well, nobody's perfect... 😅
This is basically Outer Wilds trying to run on a 1989's computer.
Having grew up with the original SNES version, seeing this is still really cool and unique
Any aspects of this game that you like more than MULE?
The main gameplay change is that in Subtrade there is the possibility to grow turtles (Subtrade's MULE equivalent) oneself on the coral reef plots. This is the equivalent of being able to produce MULEs instead of having to buy them in the store, thereby this circumvents the whole economy. It offers a new gameplay strategy of complete autarcy for a single player, instead of creating the feeling for all players to "sit in the same boat". I guess Dani would have opposed this new design element, as it would have been against her credo of "bringing people together in play". Special support for total egoists would not fit into this philosophy...
@@CarpeLudumGGS Interesting how small things like this can impact strategy and gameplay in dramatic ways. It is true that Dani Bunten axed gameplay elements that resulted in the game being too complicated or less fun. At face value, I don't see how making one's own MULEs would be different than producing energy. But you are right--the more a player just plays (and wins) by strategies that don't involve trading with other players, the less the game is MULE.
