Hong Kong till 2000 was British , that's why you had a game about capitalism from there. If it would be Chinese, there wouldn't a single chance to produce such game.

VA-11 Hall-A's Glitch City is based heavily off of Caracas, a city in Venezuela known for its rampant government corruption. In 2015 through 2016, there was an increase in food shortages, and thus you had to make long lines to get curated amounts of food, like 1 pack of flour per person. When it released in 2016, the danger/u/ threads made nods to the current situation at the time: >don't go out after 5PM unless you want to get mugged or murdered >bring a portable chair everywhere, you'll have to line up for flour >get used to eat what you find, shortages are getting out of hand All the flavor text that made Glitch City seem like a dystopian future was actually the reality that Venezuelans were experiencing. The developers were living in less-than-ideal conditions yet still managed to make an awesome game.

[@optiquemusic6204]

DMA had a fractured working relationship with Nintendo when they were developing Body Harvest: when the team went to Tokyo during its development, their Dundee accents were so thick, the translators coul barely understand them. That is Hilarious.

[@eryxyre]

In Poland we had a pirate culture, so popular games would be not the ones that are easy to sell, but the ones that we would be likely to share. IMO that made our experiences better. No console games, more strategy/RPG. Many roguelike developers (traditional meaning of roguelike, not "a game where you can die") are Polish, this seems related :) I am also a big fan of Finnish games. Deluxe Ski Jump and Liero were very popular in Poland, a bit of roguelike culture, and more recently, Noita... but this video shows something else :)

[@Gnidel]

In terms of legal games, many of them were from CDs attached to gaming magazines or cheap rereleases that costed 20zł like eXtra Klasyka. Additionally we weren't that rich as a country, so children had to convince parents to buy PC "for school" if they wanted a gaming device. That made Polish gaming even more PC-centric.

[@st1ka]

Oh we also had a culture of Piracy in Portugal xD

[@gomogay972]

personally for Italy I would have chosen Screamer the first racing game from Milestone which even today remains one of the best developers in the genre

[@st1ka]

Understandable, though I have to admit, as an outsider the story of how Diabolik was made is super interesting to me

[@Goati_]

Screamer was actually st1ka's go-to choice IIRC, and while I could have talked about idea software and other stuff, simulmondo's newsstand stuff was more interesting, unique and ultimately representative of the Italian retro scene imho, as older Italians would testify ❤️

The Denmark chapter was particularly interesting because the Hugo games were ones which i have experience of myself.

Love that both VA-11 HALL-A and Coffee Talk made out onto the list. I used to play the former during breaks at work, but didn't get far because of that. Gonna have to start over with it soon and then finally start up Coffee Talk after.

[@st1ka]

I highly recommend both ^^

[@kissthistwice5]

Great video St1ka and very interesting. Personally for Spain I would have gone with one of Gaelco's games.

[@st1ka]

Yeah I probably should have included some of those as well

[@Иван_Михайлов-ь8б]

[@rogeliolarronda]

[@st1ka]

Glad I could help :D

[@Senorcyborg]

[@Cool_as_the_Northern_Wind]

dude this was amazing. do more woth different perspectives, as horror games from around the world, the oldes game for every country, most popular sport game in any country (this last one could be seriously cool, imagine india having some hardcore cricket simulator)

I knew about the term 'French Touch' being used to refer to house music that was made by french djs/producer but I had no idea it was also used for video games. Very cool video!

[@st1ka]

Yeah it was used for both xD

[@Darkprosper]

At least here in France, the words "French Touch" are often applied to any specifically French style of anything. It seems that internationally it's mostly applied to music, but here I've heard it most about movies, and you can see it applied to things like cuisine, entrepreneurship, romance... Essentially, the French Touch is doing things the French way.

[@st1ka]

@@Darkprosper aah makes sense!

[@Asobitech]

This is an absolute epic video. Excellent work putting all of this together St1ka, love this.

[@st1ka]

Thank you! It was a lot of work but I'm happy with it :D

[@liveyourdreammedia]

close to 1,5 hrs international games. St1ka you're the man!!

[@st1ka]

I try ^^

[@TheFatBastid]

"near and dear to dos gamers everywhere" yeah, sure, pal, what could it be? omg, I loved skyroads.

[@st1ka]

haha

[@rogercruz1547]

Holy crap, Denmark! We also played that one in Brasil! It was fully dubbed and had many game modes. Some iconic phrases like "Subindo a montanha sem fazer manha" are a meme to this day. Thank you for that. 14:53 Hugo

[@rogercruz1547]

We had not only the bridge stage but a mountain state and even an airplane stage

[@bundjohn]

I had to watch this in a couple of parts but thank you for showcasing all these countries and their games. Coffee Talk was one of my favourite games that I played last year and bought episode 2 on release day to support the devs. I need to pick up VAL HALL LA or however it's spelt as it's on my radar!

[@st1ka]

Valhalla is great but I'm going to be controversial and say that I like Coffee Talk better haha

[@bpcgos]

This waiting period only make me more curious...

[@st1ka]

not too long now xD
