Get James to play Disco Elysium. I'm sure he'll be blown away by the level of writing and he's probably not had an experience with a videogame like that before!

[@tomesofawesome8041]

OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grew up & was obsessed with this game as a kid!!!! Just the way how each character has their own play style and stuff. The princess who became a dragon! SO MUCH LOVE !!!!

[@tomesofawesome8041]

It didn't come up in the video, so here you guys go. Samson is Samson. HOWEVER! The dragon was a Princess transformed because she was spoiled. The GOLEM was a professional thief who was transformed because of his greed. & the Mouse is actually a wizard who got stuck that way while doing magic. It's all in the Instruction booklet that came with the game. Cheers!!

This game is so good-looking you'd think it's a modern indie game. Definitely far beyond an average NES game.

after Revenge of the Sith it was done for me- Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalkers rise and fall for me and always will be. Unless Disney accepts the expended universe and makes a movie about Kyle Katarn, I will ignore all future star wars projects for sure

[@princegoatcheese9379]

Star Wars is on life support right now, and I won't be attending its funeral when it dies.

[@DeadMeat991]

It's practically fan-fiction at this point.

[@DraculaCronqvist]

Thanks, Disney. They pump low-quality garbage out by the ass-load. Remember when a new Star Wars movie or a game was a fucking event? Disney destroyed all of that and hit us with a double-combo. Low quality fanfiction-tier writing and lots of it, every year, hell, every few months even.

[@bsolmaz13]

Little Samson was actually worked on by the real father of Mega Man: Akira Kitamura. He left Capcom after Mega Man 2, co-founded the game company Takeru and made a Famicom game called Cocoron (also really fun). After Little Samson he sadly left the game development business for good.

[@OptimalMario]

Gaming historian?

[@SidStrife]

That would explain why it has such similar art style such as the font and even down to exploding when they die.

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

Oh that explains why it looks eerily similar to the NES Capcom game UIs or fonts or graphical styles..

[@zelgaladmwu]

When I was a child, at least 2 of the vídeostore here in Spain I used to go had this game for rental. I myself rent it a few times. Now it's one of the most rare and expensive games. FML

[@frog_stomp]

Same here.....same here. When the local rental place closed I ended up with a game. Unfortunately it was not this one. No.......I got Back To The Future II & III. Garbage game that's worth about 7.88 USD on eBay

[@frog_stomp]

@@thatstupiddawg5989 pocket no......if I had known I could have bought the game outright before they closed yes. Or like the situation I was in, rent the game and then close a few days later before returning it, ibwoukd have been cool with that too

[@MichaelJohnsenOslo]

They included a seperate prosessingchip in the cartridge, making the graphic look better than most other NES-games at the time. This is one of the last games released on the NES I believe.

@@MichaelJohnsenOslo Okay, that would explain the lack of flickering sprites. Wow this game literally is/was the last great game to be released for the NES.

[@kyoai]

"Why is Hollywood making so many movies where the main charcter comes to the real world, why are they not making movies in the video game world instead?" Because its lazier, easier and, most importantly, cheaper to just use real-life locations. Their reasoning is : "Why spend millions of dollars creating a fantastic environment and sets? Just spend a few hundred dollars to rent an appartment for a few days where the character will live in and rent a car for the human buddy actor to drive the main character around. Why spend even more millions of dollars and thousands of hours animating more characters? Just hire some C-level actors to pretend as if the main character is there."

[@spencers5898]

And then they wonder why the movie didn't do as well as they were hoping and figure it must be something inherently wrong with the IP. It couldn't possibly be a mistake on their part.

[@TheLexoDex]

Why not just take a real world environment, get rid of humans, and make all the characters cgi

[@Rocket1377]

@Lexodex: That's still very expensive to do. It would be cheaper to make an animated movie.
