Sylvie RPG screenshot with a big green bunny and a small white bunny and text that says "BOUNY"
We promise to continue sending romantic game messages.
I have taken World 5 back!!
A platform appeared in the big bullshit water pit in World 5
A slime boss that moves like a certain guy from La-Mulana
Maze of Galious boss victory screen. "I have taken World 3 back!!"
A zoomed out picture of the castle map, a lot has been filled in and it looks mostly symmetric now
If your lover is killed, come back here with 100 arrows, 100 gold and 20 keys.
Screenshot from the manual. "Cross: This item has a vital role in this adventure."
A scary looking platforming room
I try to jump to a secret alcove hidden in a wall, and fall. After a long runback (played at 8x speed) I attempt it again and succeed. Beyond the alcove is a big section of fake wall. I use my Rolling Fire ability to try to ascertain the shape of the fake wall. Then I finally jump forward and fall down again.
Big zoomed out partial screenshot map of the Maze of Galious castle
I found bread and water in the annoying room
Stupid fucking room with a moving platform and NO LADDER
Really annoying area in Maze of Galious with moving platforms and a water pit you can fall into
Password entry screen saying "That is the wrong code"
World 1 !!
An annoying platforming sequence, there are two bats onscreen
Aphrodite stands in front of a seemingly open door
Starting screen of Maze of Galious, my ammo counter says "30F"
Maze of Galious inventory screen. I have 999 arrows for some reason
Very partial screenshot map of Maze of Galious with notes about what items are found on each screen
Maze of Galious screenshot showing one of the main characters Popolon sitting on a toilet in the middle of a dangerous maze castle area
Cropped Wikipedia screenshot reading: The Game Master (Japanese: コナミのゲームを10倍楽しむカートリッジ, Hepburn: Konami no Gēmu o Jū-bai Tanoshimu Kātorijji; lit. "The Cartridge That Makes Konami Games Ten Times More Enjoyable") is a utility cartridge released by Konami on....
From the developers: 　For those used to the new-style of really easy games, it may be very hard to beat La-Mulana. But that's OK. We're looking for those gamers that could in days past defeat Druaga, bring the baby back safely from the clutches of Gallious, and sealed the Evil Crystal. This game is our challenge to the players out there. We hope you can do your best and conquer us!
The original MSX-style La Mulana. I am jumping around on a screen in the village, killing some enemies. Weird bouncy red fruits (?) occasionally fall from the sky and sometimes land on me and cause damage.
Dodging the Zubs in the Zub Rush by kind of just flailing around arbitrarily
Sylvie jumps around and spins in midair, and fires a grapple hook and sometimes teleports to the midpoint of the grapple hook. There is a confusing screen full of text explaining the controls and the current game state.
I die three times in a row in Stage 3 of Salamander and promptly select "Quit Game" from the menu.
Sylvie holding a green flower and sitting on a purple hill while a yellow kitty with a long tail and the text "FPS: 19" above it rests its paws on her and a cute pink square watches from behind and a blue bird flies overheard and a spear is embedded in the ground nearby. Now with less JPEG artifacts

So look, you are talking to someone who has been a game designer for 30 years, you could at least think a little bit before replying, and understand that you are talking to someone who actually knows things. Between "character is on a platform" and "character is not on a platform", there is at *best* a 1-pixel difference (arbitrarily less, depending how the simulate/render loop works... since this game works with continuous velocities, I am not that surprised if it's a lot less). If I showed you a series of still screenshots, not even considering the element of timing, could you tell me with 100% certainty in which shots the character is on the platform, and in which shots he is not on the platform? I can basically guarantee the answer is 100% no. So pretending there is not an issue here is highly regarded, especially given that EVERYONE WHO PLAYS CAN FEEL THE ISSUE (rest of the post is cut off by a picture-in-picture of a Gradius stream)
Jonathan Blow tweet: It is objectively bad to require players to distinguish between State A and State B when there are no perceivable differentiating features between State A and State B.
Recovering in Gradius from a death in 2-3 up to the end of 2-4
Remember grinding for power-ups on Gradius NES? My childhood was epic! 🚀 #Gradius #NES #RetroGaming #ClassicGamer #ShootEmUp
I'm fighting meatballs in Stage 5, then as soon as the music changes, they abruptly fly offscreen and the Big Core boss immediately rises from the bottom and kills me. In the original Japanese release of Gradius this process is much longer and more reactable.
Completing checkpoint 3-5-A in Gradius three times in a row
"GOOD Graphics!!" image from Homestar Runner. Two guys are standing in front of a whiteboard with "GOOD Graphics!!" written emphatically in the middle, one looks angry and the other dejected
All of this is worth it to not have to select “Stairs” from a menu in order to climb or descend stairs (in Dragon Warrior)
Tiny crunchy thumbnail of a section in Ketsui with tanks driving along a diagonal cliffside
Screenshot of the intersecting diagonal rock bridges in Dodonpachi stage 1
I die on the 3-6 boss because I moved up and let a bullet fly directly into me. Then, there is a montage of deaths and recoveries as I make my way to checkpoint 3-7-D.
Defeating the Stage 4 boss in Gradius by positioning myself right under the left inverted mountain and lining my options up horizontally.

what i want from vgames is very faint, very hard to put my finger on, it's a desire, but i'm not sure for what. and this thing i want from games seems to be hidden inside the format: it's not whatever games imagine they're about. so to see it you have to sift for it, through all the other stuff - the layers the format drapes around itself to make sure anyone who wants to see what it has to first spend as much time as possible getting there. startup logo, engine logo, title, create a save slot, intro movie, tutorial village, ice level, fire level... i want to make shallow games: i want to take whatever effects i find delving into the game engine and bring them as close to the surface as possible. that you could trip across them even just moving your gaze across the screen, or ineptly pressing buttons. there's surely a place for demanding art, for deliberate ritual and boredom. but to be frank: i don't trust fucking videogame developers, of all people, to know what that place is. the idea of a "save button" has been sealed, 1000 miles below the surface of the earth. to be allowed to see it you must prove that you know about death.
Expanding on this point, Horii goes on to say, “I think it’s wonderful that Slimey can also listen to people’s concerns with empathy and even talk about things unrelated to the game itself."
