What are you playing?

So I thought "Hey, that was the first match, surely later ones are harder, right?"​

And thus, I am back, cause this game doesn't cease to amaze me. It's actually a well crafted arcade sports game, don't get me wrong, but that keeper is worse than I was at middle school soccer matches. (OK maybe that's exaggerating a bit heheh...)

Here are some other nuggets I found in the game:

Super Saiyan Footballer: Don't even try to win next game. I already bribed the arbiters. If you so much as look funny at us, you'll get a red card pronto! *menacing*​

Note: There are no fouls or cards in this game...

I've literally never seen cheerleaders on soccer games. I don't know why these old games feature them so much.​

...Also obligatory panty shot.

I don't have a joke for this one. I just think it's a screen. ​

Well...this is embarrassing...FOR THEM! *MLG horn*​

This is Power Eleven for the TurboGrafx-16, possibly the game with the worst keeper AI that I've ever seen. It doesn't help that I can pass the ball like a pinball between my teammates, but man...that score's enough to go bust on blackjack, for crying out loud!

Don't know why, but retro games can be so comforting, yk? Sometimes simplicity is all. I recently finished Super Mario Bros and The Lost Levels. They distract and entertain without much effort. Wish I could have the original consoles, but there's a nostalgic feeling in emulation as well.



Right now I'm playing Omori, an indie game I had been wanting to play for quite sometime. Still not sure what the game is trying to convey, but it's been a comforting and funny ride, reminds me of Undertale (idiotic humor and memorable characters)

I'm glad it scratches your itch. I've finished Undertale many times, and I've been obsessed with it in the past. Looking back, it destroyed my psyche due to how much I wished I could live inside that game, instead of my crappy reality. It was like a dream, being shown right on my screen, so near, yet so far. It was a dark time in my life.

Now, I pretty much avoid any games that have emotional undertones due to that, and this means many games are just out of bounds for me. I have to content myself to games with as little story as possible. Anything could trigger another "I wish I was inside the game" obsession again...

Okay, now that's just getting silly...

THE HORROR! The audience here seems to have been deep-fried! Either that, or we're playing in Springfield.

Oh man, they scored a point! Good for the AI :)

I was feeling sorry for them, so I gave them one. (Just kidding, they actually got a goal fair and square. I got too complacent, heheh...)

Some screenies for Tecmo World Cup, for the Genesis:

Champions of the world, as seen via Fantavision. (non-colorized, 1992)​

At least they're not as deep-fried as the last ones.

Say what? BTS made graphic for this game? Jungkook secretly a game dev? I know nothing about K-pop!?​

Hint: Yes.

So I finished Tecmo World Cup for the Genesis, released in 1992. Despite the only FAQ on GameFAQs being made by a hater, and me also hating the game as a kid, after playing again, it's suprisingly decent. Has a lot of flaws, but for an arcadeish simple two button soccer game, it plays alright. Has a couple of irritating mechanics, and you don't feel in control of where you kick the ball when on goal's range, but otherwise...could be far worse, could be deep-fried championship over there.
