[@Mopster87]

Moonstone! What a game

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

What a game indeed :)

[@mourdebars]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames and also not that all complicated, when you click a fight, it's piece of cake

[@jimkrom]

I still consider Amiga Moonstone to be one of the top 3 games of all time regardless of platform or genre...

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

When it didn't bug out, and when you had three buddies with you, AND all of you were more or less on a same skill level, it was just a dream! :)

[@pj3352]

I totally agree. Im currently working on making a remake. Having to use unreal 5 but no other engi e is really viable

[@noirstan]

Princess Maker 2 enjoyed the highest popularity probably in Korea, compared to even in Japan due to it being a PC game. This was one of the few games that the parents weren't opposed to and considered educational. On top of that, the Korean DOS version had all clothing images saved in one single file, and one could run the game perfectly fine without it, the only effect being the costume layer not appearing in the game. You know what I mean. And no, you can't do it if your copy is (or is based on) the Japanese version, which had a different file structure.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I wish I knew of it before, it would be an interesting anecdote for the video. :) Still, thanks for sharing, it may come in handy one of those days anyway. And even if it wont, it's still fun.

[@42paparia42]

"I Hate my Job with the Passion of a Fingerless Pianist" is a phrase that describes MANY people's lives!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I guess you’re right. And it only means that there’s something wrong with the world. xD

[@BurstingVeins1]

You're not kidding that Woodruff and schnibble is a forgotten game. I've never heard or seen it before and it's not in any huge old game/DOS abandonware compendium that I've found. At least I still managed to find it, and I'm looking forward to playing it. I love the Gobliiins art style games.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

If you liked the Gobliiins, Woodruff will be something you'll love too! It's like bigger and longer Gobliiins.

[@BiAir75]

2:59 We need a remake from this game!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Well... Not a remake really, but in one of my "Exclusive Amiga Games" videos I cover a little title called "Tyran". It's a Polish take on the Moonstone formula, like literally copying most of it, and it's quite interesting game to experience. I mean, I wouldn't recommend making yourself play it for too long, as it's not great, but to see what people tried to do after "real" Moonstone, it's sure something. :)

[@Grandmastergav86]

Popcap were the masters of genuinely fun casual games - Peggle, Bejewelled, Heavy Weapon, Feeding Frenzy and then they were acquired by EA...

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yup, and then EA milked the games for as long as they could running them in the process into ground. xD

[@DanIliescu-o7e]

Machinarum, Princess Maker 2, and The Sting! - - Have a good Christmas !

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Well said! :)

[@hubertmitura2587]

Z Bioforge mam tylko miłe wspomnienia...jeszcze gdzieś mam płytkę CD

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Ja niestety wszystkie moje starocie kiedyś w przypływie fali głupoty porozdawałem. xD

[@Dorelaxen]

I adore Machinarium. It's like playing a piece of art.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It is, isn't it? :)

[@eigengrau1]

"The Feeble Files"

[@eigengrau1]

*hehe THANKS ;)

[@gumdeo]

Bejeweled Twist is a great example of how a small change can make a different game...

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yep! It's the only Bejeweled game that I come back to to this day.

[@RakkothX]

I seem to remember the story behind Princess Maker 2's English translation being pretty sad. I also seem to remember the two(?) guys who wanted to port the game over giving the dev CD back to the original creator saying they did not raise their daughter well or something to that effect. That said, I played -so much- of it after grabbing it off some skeevy website or other back in the late 90s, hahah. Adore the theme in the main game screen.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It's a fun game, no doubt about that. Unlike western games in most aspects of it, but very fun nonetheless. :)

[@onkelhiphop]

I think it’s OK if you forget the first game😂 but the last game is actually a game I played on my Amiga when I was a child and I forgot all about it I couldn’t remember the name and then it shows up here thank you so much❤

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Glad that I could help. Even if unintentionally. :)

[@R0e0endeR]

Props for mentioning jetstrike. I found it less playable than WoF in the 90's but after your review now I need to try it again.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

If you can, go for the PC version (not something you'll hear me say often), as it runs smoother. :)

[@DirkLarien]

Now how did you made Sting to work ?

[@Toon_Pirate]

Janosik is the biggest Moonstone fan this side of the millenium bug! And that is a fact.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

That is correct. I am also single-handedly responsible for all the 16bit software not working on 64bit machines. ;)

[@robinmattheussen2395]

Honestly, I think 90% of everyone who discovered La-Mulana did so through DeceasedCrab's videos. Before the remake at least.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Oh, DC is great! I used to watch his videos religiously. :)

[@huaweisaturno1474]

I played Machinarium a couple months ago. I was really fun, its awesome if like me, you like graphic adventures 😊 I also remember spending a couple hours a week by the 2000s playing moonstone with my brothers (freaking Dragon Sword) 😂

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Both excellent games! Also completely different from one another. :)

[@huaweisaturno1474]

Funny thing... I love Monkey Island and Stray, but also enjoy to spent a couple hours in L4D or Tekken with my pals 😄

[@VEC7ORlt]

Huh, Machinarium is 2009? Seemed like something from 2003. Also it has a stellar OST!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Oh yeah, agreed.

[@1qqqbbb1]

I got Call of Juarez: . Thanks

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Enjoy! :)

[@ristopoho824]

Princess maker seems a lot like the flash game my pet protector. In the premicse. In my pet protector you train an adventurer into as good of a fighter as you can, until the age becomes too much. So yea differences there. Age is from teenager to an elder. And the goal is to defeat some generic big evil. The way you accomplish it is by taking lessons, getting equipment, and, unlike a princess, goin dungeon crawling. Can't remember much else. I mostly played the more roleplaying focused games in the series. But. Yea it's good if you like the princess maker. Very similar feel.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It sounds like something that I’d actually like to play! :)

[@mattias969]

Oh man i used to LOVE bioforge!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Not an easy game, but definitely worth playing.

[@projectfear22]

Machinarium is epic

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

Let's ctrl-alt-delete together! XD That should be the slogan of a kid's 90s TV show about computers, right before they enter the virtual world by means of green screen technology. :) Oh, and I just can't find a game that wouldn't be improved by dragon(s). Nor a reason not to give this video a bacon like. 🥓 I recognised Moonstone in your cover image poll. ;) Princess Maker is controversial for me. Give the girl some freedom! :D Machinarium is actually on my list from many years ago. It feels similar to Neverhood in storytelling and puzzliness. I guess I'm one of the people who like Machinarium's art style. :) Oh, my! Twist my Jewels? That sounds painful. XD I see it available on Amazon for free. ;)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Did you know that the best bacon does not come from pigs? It's actually dragon bacon. A very expensive, and rare kind of meat that only the richest can afford. Never had it myself, but I once managed to catch a whiff of it coming from somewhere, so at least once I was in a smell-distance from a royalty. xD Machinarium looks like art! A moving art no less. :) Is Twist on Amazon still? Oh man... These are the moments that I wish that I still had Android. xD

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

@OldAndNewVideoGames Dragon bacon? Where did you smell that? How did it smell like? I like the cute clunky robot aesthetic. :D You know, I've heard someone (I'm not naming names ;) ) say that emulators are a great way to play all kinds of stuff on your PC. So you can emulate an Android if you don't have one. :)

[@rayceeya8659]

Ugh Bioforge is a tough playthrough these days. Two words: Tank Controls.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yeah, we sure were willing to do a lot to play a game back then... xD

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

"Boot force" It's called seduction ;)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

LOL :)

[@chainreaction8977]

Blasphemicious.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

xD

[@tommcboatface1908]

I couldn't watch this video because there are too many ads, one per game!

[@matternicuss]

Ad block exists ;)

[@nicg1331]

Bioforge remake please!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It would be cool to see it with today's tech raytracing, pathtracing and all that crap. :)

[@mourdebars]

Sting! was awful, Schnibble on the other hand is just impossible to pass walkthroughless

[@kickstart_1.3]

I'm still trying to get Moonstone for a decent price, same with Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Oh man, unless you're like raiding the yard sales, chances are that they're never going to be at decent price any more. At least not boxed fully working. :(
