![]() The game is a horizontally scrolling shmup. This sounds more complicated but actually works well. On every other system the controls are D-Pad for direction, so if you are going left to right, right acts as thrust and left is reverse and vice versa. Hyperspace is placed so you have to take one hand off the controls to use it. The thrust and fire buttons are parallel, with the smart bomb under the right thumb. Notice the joystick has the reverse button where your left thumb rests. Most games of it's time have a joystick and one or two buttons along with the usual 1 or 2 player start buttons. The original arcade cabinet has a bewildering set of controls compared it peers. The player was armed with a limited number of aircraft equipped with a front firing laser beam, some 'smart bombs' that once activated kill everything on screen for a short period of time, and the ability to instantaneously warp using 'hyperspace' to a random position in the world. The basic premise of Defender is to protect 10 'Humanoids' who are under attack from an outside force1 made up of several unique types. He also, uniquely at the time, understood the value of sound to gameplay. He invented the 'mini map' which introduced both strategy and multi-tasking to the player. Something that seems so obvious now but was groundbreaking in its day. Mr Jarvis created the first virtual world that spanned more than a single screen. ![]() You probably didn't know this but almost every game written post-Defender owes its creator, Eugene Jarvis, a huge debt. Whilst they both have the same name, and were produced at around the same time, they are unrelated games, and do go in a particular order, which I've preserved here. Konami licensed the series, and made two video games which picked up where the comic and TV series left off. ![]() After the first series of the television show ended, they were unable to continue it, and the second arc of the comic series was also never published, which left the story unfinished. Sentient Protoplasm Against Colonial Encroachment). Those responsible for it describe it, basically, as being a bit like "Star Wars with funny-animals", which is a pretty accurate description (basically, the evil Toad Empire, led by a computer called KOMPLEX, seeks to enslave all of the mammals, and rule the entire Aniverse - an alternate universe populated by animals, with no humans to be seen At the same time, a boy-genius from Earth manages to find his way into this alternate universe, and joins up with the resistance force, S.P.A.C.E. In the 1980s there was a short-lived comic book series by the name of Bucky O'Hare, which, in the early 1990s spawned a television series of the same name (there was also a toy line that went with the TV series). The emulator exit button is now X, instead of the Pandora button which annoyingly launched the XFCE menu too.The N64's L and R buttons aren't really needed, so are mapped to 9 and 0 (within reach of right thumb).ABXY are the C buttons, used for weapon selection & combat.Sounds like a strange mapping, but really works in game. This means your right index finger does wheelies. This means your left index finger is on the throttle. Left nub is N64 stick (as per default).#These values specify the analog calibration function #These values specify the button mapping: #These values specify the analog mapping:

![]() Herodotus believed the soldiers were enveloped by a massive sandstorm and perished, yet modern archeologists have been searching for the remains of Cambesys's lost army for a century, with little to show for their efforts. He wanted the oracle destroyed.Īccording to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, Cambesys's army traveled through the desert of Egypt for seven days, then vanished without a trace. Cambesys was angry that the oracle at Siwa had rejected his claim to the Egyptian throne. In 525 BC, a Persian king named Cambesys II sent a massive army from Luxor to the city of Siwa. The army of Cambesys The army of Cambesys And the process of developing it began over 2,000 years ago. As a potential work of art, however, it is one of the most ambitious military shooters ever made. They wanted to put players into scenarios where bad things could happen to good people, and in the game they imagined, the list of "good people" wouldn't necessarily include you.Īs a game, Spec Ops is like many other games you may have played before. They drew on their own experiences with powerful forces of nature. Williams - along with co-writer Richard Pearsey and lead designer Cory Davis - wanted to make a game in which a stunningly destructive force of nature would force the player to face decisions they could never have imagined. It is a shooter in which the innocent bystanders are as much a part of the story as you are, and telling the good guys from the bad is practically impossible. It is a game about a city at risk of being swallowed by nature and a man at risk of being swallowed by the weight of his own horrible acts. ![]() Walt Williams is the lead writer of Spec Ops: The Line. And he knows that sometimes those people and their trailers will get wiped clear away. Williams knows that every once in a while the sky will turn green, the wind will go still, the birds will stop singing and people who live in tornado zones (typically trailer parks) will grab their kids, their dogs and whatever they don't want destroyed and hide in the bathtub to wait for it all to be over. He's a video game writer, not a meteorologist. Walt Williams doesn't know why tornadoes target trailer parks. If you are the type of reader who prefers to experience these kinds of game moments first-hand, we encourage you to play the game, then come back. ![]() This article contains discussion of specific plot and story "spoilers" from Spec Ops: The Line.

Returning his hand to his head immediately after. Simply raising his right hand from his head, he pointed at Hit, before making a circular motion in the air. ![]() Beat inhaled sharply, before slowly exhaling. “What’s your problem? Didn’t get the report in on time?” Hit asked, his inability to read a room as staggering as ever. Sadly, his radiant aura couldn’t uplift his chagrined brother. “That was a close one.” He said wearily, his tone a stark contrast to the jubilant look on his face. Slowly wiping the sweat from his brow, he leaned back. It had come down to the wire, but he did it with seconds to spare. Hit slumped back down into his chair, his celebration complete. His brother may be deaf to the whispered words surrounding them, but he wasn’t. White-hot embarrassment surging through his circuits, threatening to melt them into slag. Nor the hushed chatter of the other bots in the cafe.īeat leaned his head down, clasping his hands around it’s back. His brother was in his own little world, where mere whispers could never hope to reach. Beat silently motioned towards him, in a vain attempt to get his attention. Everyone in the cafe were staring at the duo and Beat couldn’t bear to turn and face them.Īs Hit continued his unabashed display of stupidity, assaulting the air above him with a barrage of excited punches. Pulling himself forward setting the chair back on even ground, Beat felt several eyes boring into his back. Only avoiding the fall backwards by desperately grabbing the edge of the table in front of him. Nearly sending the startled Beat tumbling to the floor. “YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH,LETS GOOOOOOO!!!” Hit yelled, leaping from his seat. Leaning back in his chair, he wiped the sweat from his brow, that was a close one. A wave of relief swept over Beat, washing away his stress & anxiety. Throwing caution to the wind, Beat brought the thumb of God down on the enter key, sending the report on its way. No time for that, but maybe just a little bit of spell checking… 11:59 The time shifted before he was even through the first two paragraphs. It was coming down to the wire and every second mattered.ġ1:57 Beat was finished, thank Primus! Now for just a bit of proofreading… 11:58 Ok, ok. The clock slowly counted the passing minutes, 11:53, 11:54, 11:55, 56. “Well, at least I’m not the only one struggling.” A comforting thought, somewhat.Ī cacophony of noise flowed from their keyboards, as the brothers furiously typed. Beat felt a small sense of relief, as his brother seemed to be working just as hard as him. Glancing across the table at his identical brother Hit. Time was of the essence, and it wasn’t on his side. The current time was 11:52 am, only 8 minutes till noon. His panic increasing the speed & frequency of his clicks, would his laptop be able to hold out?īeat’s optics strained, as they constantly shifted focus from the report in front of them, to the clock in the bottom corner of his screen. “If I don’t submit this by noon, it’ll be a stain on my permanent record!” The bulky white & black Autobot thought to himself. *Click*Click*Click* Beat typed his morning report as quickly as possible, his rhythmic pace generating a chorus of clicks. As we shift our focus to two Auto Troopers, currently enjoying a break at “Chip Chasers” a local internet cafe. Thankfully, our story doesn’t involve any of that messy business.

Replete with oodles of over the top Lord Byron styled deep narrative vocals (and wordy song titles), the material, like Gloryhammer, is conceptual, but rather than zombie unicorns invading the land of Fife, this is based on hyperspacial realities, Epithemean celestial wizardry, multiverse black holes, tesseractual gateways, as only Chris Bowes can deliver. ![]() It’s a bit more modern, shreddy/techy black/death, maybe like many The Artisan Era bands, but has a heavy dose of super epic power metal guitars and keyboards (where the largest component of Bal Sagoth Worship resides) and cosmic cheese. Naturally, such a gathering injects an array of influences to the mix, so what you end up with is a celestial, multiversal vortex, mixing Bal Sagoth‘s The Power Cosmic (in particular you can hear “The Voyagers Beneath the Mare Imbrium” and “The Scourge of the Fourth Celestial Host” here) and a little of all the other band members other projects. Joined by fellow wizards from Aether Realm (vocalist/bassist Vincent Jones), Gloryhammer (Guitarist Micheal Barber), Forlorn Citadel (guitarist Matthew Bell) and Vale of Pnath/Nekrogoblikon (drummer Eric Brown), all with appropriately wizardly alias’s like ‘Keeper of the 17th Enochian Gate’ and’ Disciple of the 2-Planar Homerian Adjunct”. Now, he developed that influence a little bit in his power metal outfit Gloryhammer, but I’ve been waiting for him to truly flesh out his love for Bal Sagoth, and apparently, he has finally fulfilled his dream, with ‘extreme wizard metal’ supergroup Wizardthrone. And in both interviews, legendary Brit fantasy metal act Bal-Sagoth comes up as a huge influence on Alestorm’s Chris Bowes.

Let’s say you made an accomplished hero, built your stats the best you could, and decided to just head out in the hopes that you’ll get some good gear drops. You can probably see where this is going. Players who had their saves or those who play through everything to this point will have gear to match their level (but they won’t be able to see the new class). With that finished, they’ll realize that their inventories are bare. This in and of itself is understandable, but the first obstacle you’ll face is that many people aren’t going to have a build in mind, so they’ll just pump points into the things that look good or seem reasonable. This does mean that you have to put all of your points into your stats and abilities before you can set foot outside the opening area. Those who want to experience the new content or the new class have the option to create an “accomplished hero.” This character will start at the beginning of the DLC and immediately get a boost to level 40. Unfortunately, the solution they have in place is rife with issues. Thankfully, Titan Quest: Ragnarok offers a solution for people who want to try the new class, or people like me who no longer have their save and would like to avoid replaying the entire rest of the game just to get to the new content. The problem here is that the only way to access the new class is to start a new character since your old save probably already has two masteries from your original playthrough. It does have an appropriate scope, however, and once you get into it, the new Runemaster mastery offers a unique class for you to pair with the other options. Worse, if you try to skip to the next line of dialogue, it will simply skip that entire segment. Primarily, the exposition being delivered in long, scrolling boxes of text still feels too slow to me. Story here is unique to the rest of the game, but it continues to be less of a focus than the gameplay itself. The mixture of Norse, Germanic, and Celtic lore, combined with the icy landscapes, offers a nice change of pace from the rest of the game’s chapters. It offers a separate tale, which makes it a good starting point for new players who just want to see the Norse content (at least, theoretically. The expansion offers an additional act, set after the events of the main story. Let’s start by looking at what’s new here. That has since been patched in, and with the release of a Norse DLC in the form of Ragnarok, I was eager to see how the game improved and expanded with this new chapter. One of my biggest complaints in my original review of Titan Quest was the lack of split-screen when all of its contemporaries had this feature. ![]() ![]() Some New Additions, But New Players Face Frustration Does it offer enough for both experienced and new players to check out this new expansion? Let’s find out. The split-screen was later patched in, and now we have the Ragnarok DLC that adds a new story set in the far north of the game’s world. I was hoping Titan Quest could have been the next game to accomplish this feat, and while it’s a dungeon crawler, the game launched originally without split-screen and focused on Greek mythology specifically. It somehow managed to juggle Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythologies without any struggle. My fondest memory of a game that meshed together multiple mythologies was the excellent RTS Age of Mythology for the PC. ![]() The Brotherhood logo has been added to both sides.Ī vertibird is seen in the cinematic sequence at the end of Who Dares Wins. ![]() The craft cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S.Ī captured one named Pride One was studied and modified by the Brotherhood of Steel between the recapture of Project Purity and Who Dares Wins.
