Hardwar Review: British Griefing Simulator

[@cherryVision]

this game was so nostalgic for me to replay, I played it back when I was a kid and wasn't smart enough to complete it. It sucks but it has such charm. It really left an impact on my 6 year old brain

[@irjayjay]

Thanx for the mention in the end and the link in the description! My game will try to lower the learning curve and be beginner friendly. Love that you used the actual soundtrack for backing. I can see you really went deep into the OG game, I think you know slightly more than I do now. Eg. never thought about disrupting the trade of certain commodities and only selling it from my own hangar.

[@Valnoten]

Just saw this video and noticed your comment. Are you still workibg on your game? :)

[@irjayjay]

@Valnoten Hi! Not so much currently, since life is happening really rapidly for me right now. I'm hoping to get back into it midway next year.

[@JackIsMe1993]

98 was a great year for space flight sims probably still got the disk somewhere, I remember alternating betweet this Xenocracy and a few others good times cheers for the review. FMV's make me nostalgic.

[@salokin3087]

Thanks, hardwar was meant to get a ps1 port, one day i'll have to try out the space sims on that console, there's a lot!

[@MiG-21bisFishbedL]

@@salokin3087 I do hope you've tried G-Police in such case. Peak Psygnosis.

[@Danster82]

This would make a great modern re release

[@ducksauce1290]

This is a true hidden/lost gem. Nice review.😎 BTW: Titan is a moon of Saturn.

[@KeefeL]

Nah mate. Don't even attempt to convince me that it a moon of Saturn. Great vid, great review as well. But you'd be hard-pressed to convince us that it is not Jupiter's 80th moon. Where is your evidence mate?

[@zacheryhernandez7298]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAD NO IDEA ZOOM EXISTED

[@MiG-21bisFishbedL]

Bruh, you find some of the best titles I missed in the late 90s.

[@xxnoxx-xp5bl]

It's G.Police but more. Also out on Steam now.

[@CDROMFossil]

Hey heeeeey been hype for this ever seen you told me it was coming

[@salokin3087]

Thanks for covering it first!

[@oldwolfxv8679]

Maan this was one of those clunky, ugly, early 90s cheesefests that just ate the hours up. It always came across as that yappy underdog to the big names at the time. It could have been much more, but the stuff the devs did to make it seem like a lived in world really made it immersive and atmospheric. I don't usually condone remakes, but something like this in 2022 by a dedicated indie dev team would be something that would light a little spark of hope in my cold dead heart.

[@loacoonian]

If I remeber rightly some students were involved, it would be amazing to find out where these guys got too, or if it was part of a uni project.

[@thetimelapsesketchbook.9088]

A fantastic niche unique game one of my all time faves.

[@returnofbeaux]

I've had a terrible time getting it to run. Still haven't made it run natively in windows 7, but I'm running it under wine in linux mint. The graphics were glitched, and when I finally got the settings right to un-glitch the color palettes, I was left wondering if the game was really designed to look the way it does. That was the main reason I looked up reviews. I saw the cropped control panel in the hangar menu and the terrible texture work on ships and signs. I thought, "Is it really supposed to look like this?" Thanks for your help. Still glad I bought the game so I can thoroughly enjoy Kati Williamson videos *eggplant emoji* and listen to some good music that I selected from the soundtrack. Might actually try to play the game.

[@salokin3087]

Are you running the zoom platform release? Otherwise, its a win7 thing

[@andrewbladerunner]

I am playing as a trader, and found that once you can upgrade to faster engines, you can generally outrun most would be assailants.

[@onsholo]

Have you heard of A.I.M.2 Clan Wars? the way how you describe this game reminds me a lot of it.

[@Ralphunreal]

the soundtrack sounds cool.

[@Yage-dy9qd]

Correction: Titan is not Jupiter's Moon but Saturn's.

[@OverlordZephyros]

This game feels like a game called defender on ps2, but that one was harder to play 😆

[@sageofthetoadpath]

wow nicky, you actually reviewed something

[@salokin3087]

Ye. When's shrimpGaming happening?

[@cukrrak]

Reminds me of the A.I.M. series games

[@CommunistJugular]

Got a link for this game?

[@salokin3087]

Yeah, i've added a link in the description

[@elbarto6668]

Nice

[@StodgyAyatollah]

My brain is flooded with insane levels of useless gaming knowledge but you still manage to showcase ones I've never heard of. Are the games on zoom platform patched up for modern systems like gog? If so I'll have to check it out.

[@salokin3087]

Yeah, Zoom is alright thus far, there's a discord and its bit more niche and freeform, at least i think
