Donkey Kong franchise
image
Sometimes a villain and sometimes just another stupid monkey, Donkey Kong began as a means of recycling failed arcade cabinets and ended up launching Shigeru Miyamoto's career as a superlative game designer and laying the foundation for Nintendo's video gaming empire. Even before Mario became a household name, Donkey Kong starred in numerous arcade and handheld names, sharing the pantheon with other mascots of the arcade like Pac-Man, Q-Bert, and Frogger. Since those humble single-screen arcade beginnings, DK - and the entire Kong family - have reappeared in platformers, rhythm games, racing games, and even a... math quiz?

2024 Annual Franchise Publisher Challenge
Psygnosis
Psygnosis is a British developer and publisher founded nearly 40 years ago. While they made a name for themselves developing distinct titles for computer platforms like the Amiga and Atari ST, they achieved worldwide fame in 1991 with the release of Lemmings, which they ported to nearly every platform imaginable. Over time, they developed a reputation for original titles with advanced graphics, which caught the attention of Sony as they prepared for the launch of the PlayStation. Many of the PlayStation's early standout titles were developed by Psygnosis, and they continued to develop original titles and flesh out franchises on the platform - and others - for nearly two decades afterwards. The Psygnosis portfolio is massive and diverse, even excluding the games they developed after rebranding as Studio Liverpool. Wikipedia has a comprehensive list that can be sorted and filtered to your tastes, but I've done my best to highlight some standout franchises below. Suggested Games Shadow of the Beast Lemmings Ecstatica Defcon 5 Discworld Toy Story Destruction Derby WipEout Assault Rigs Formula 1 Colony Wars Rollcage Alundra Beat any game developed and/or published by Psygnosis in 2024 to earn the image Owl icon which will appear next to your username everywhere in the Retro Talkshop Thread. |

February 2024 Edition - Shaq Fu & Quake
At the peak of his presence in the zeitgeist, Shaquille O'Neal could do no wrong. Except free throws. And acting. It was only a matter of time before he would appear in a video game. Shaq Fu is the result of that odyssey, a 2D fighting game released for the Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Amiga - as well as some portables - that pits Shaq Daddy against a bunch of interdimensional weirdos to save a young boy. The game received a middling reception at launch, a sentiment that comically seems to have deteriorated over time. Today, the game is - some would argue, unfairly - remembered as one of the worst games of all time, not because of its objective gameplay quality but because of its blatant absurdity as a cash-in.

Quake's impact on its genre is arguably matched only by its older cousin Doom. While not the first fully-3D first-person shooter, its revolutionary engine set the new standard for competing games moving forward. Quake was one of the first killer apps for the PC's nascent 3D accelerator market, came with its own robust scripting language, and launched a multiplayer community and culture that still exists today. While not as omni-ported as Doom, it was later officially ported to the Saturn and Nintendo 64, unofficially ported to numerous other platforms by the homebrew community, and recently remastered by Bethesda for modern platforms. Play Quake on DOS & Windows MacOS Amiga Saturn Nintendo 64 Xbox One PlayStation 4 Switch Buy it on Steam Buy it on GOG Buy it on Humble Buy it on the Xbox Marketplace Buy it on the PlayStation Store Buy it on the Nintendo eShop Complete any port or version of Quake to earn the Quad Damage badge: image Complete any port or version of Quake II to earn the Quake II badge: image |
January 2024 Edition - Sonic Adventure
After a whole console generation without a mainline Sonic game, Sonic Adventure arrived on the Dreamcast, ready to satiate a ravenous fanbase. The game, which launched in North America on 9/9/99 alongside the Dreamcast, catapulted the Blue Blur into the third dimension with a large, story-driven narrative that spanned many locales, challenges, and playable characters. After the release of a sequel and the failure of Sega's final console, the game was ported to Windows and GameCube as Sonic Adventure DX with adjustments to suit the new platforms, and to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a rushed HD remaster. While Sonic Adventure's legacy is somewhat mixed, it is fondly remembered among Sonic superfans as the first time Sonic dropped on hardware that could match his attitude.

I meant the annual franchise challenge, pardon me. My suggestions are Fire Emblem and Shantae—the former has a lot of games to pick from but is fairly difficult and lengthy, while the latter is smaller and easier. FE is only available on Nintendo systems and mobile, while Shantae has been ported to a bunch of current and last-gen systems.
No matter what, I’m playing them both.

Oh...
I'm happy to hold another nomination/vote for them, but since I was the only person who finished a Shining game this year, I figured people weren't that into it. What does everyone think?

Let's give everyone one more day of votes for January because of all the holiday distractions. If you want to do an Annual Challenge next year, start thinking of a franchise or two you want to highlight.

I really wanted to finish Shining Force 2 but December was not my best month of maybe the
worst year ever. I played it again on Friday and Saturday but was feeling kinda awful yesterday.
I did pass the Kraken battle and I still had lots of fun when I felt well enough
to play it though. And I don’t believe people arent into the idea of playing one game series
Throughout the year its prolly just the Shining series.
Its a very drawn out battle scenario every battle which I guess puts people off of it.
For me thats not the issue, I havent been playing games as much this last year
and I mostly just played four different games outside of this group.
Well I guess five if you count Mortal Kombat 1 and Mortal Kombat 11 as different games.
And even though I play these games alot, I went almost two months without
playing much of anything.
So I’m all for an annual franchise thats easier to jump in and out of.
I was thinking of nominating Disney Movie and Show games.
Stuff like Fantasia on Genesis and DuckTales on Nes.
Plus I’ve nominated Belles Quest on Genesis before knowing it never
had any chance at winning. I figure since theres tons of games
like that some people adore (Everyone knows I love Princess sh1#)
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a favorite like that where it
Couldnt win on its own. But as a group of random Disney games? Maybe.
Theres just too many underappreciated classics.
I also know people in this group have kids that they love gaming with.
I dont but I did used to love playing Toy Story and Lego games with
My nephews so I totally get it.

I liked the 'option' of an annual focus and I did consider playing a Shining Force title a few different times during the year. I ultimately never got started on one, but having that out there did at least garner my interest.

Zelda II has walked through a magical door that it manifested from a spell with no name. Here are the folks that jumped and slashed their way to victory in December:
Many thanks to everyone who picked up Zelda II, as well as everyone that played along this year through all the festivities. We played through a record 26 games/franchises - 27 if you count the Shining franchise that we picked as our annual challenge - largely thanks to the mayhem of the Arcade August and October Birthday Extravaganza months, which features nine games and six franchises, respectively.
In addition to those special event months, we also picked FPS games in February, nominated some of our favorite game soundtracks in June, and continued our tradition of redeeming a second place game in December. For some months, we also played for high scores, awarding special badges to those who finished the month on top.
For probably the first time since this thread was created, 2023 was a banger year for JRPGs with us playing through Final Fantasy VI, Golden Sun, and games in the Shining franchise. An epic tale of turn-based combat is good for the soul.
And, of course, we earned a buttload of badges.
BleedingViolet - 13
BloodPuppetX - 11
Kommie - 3
Lunar - 5
image Renaissance2K - 66
sailorneorune - 1
Slickriven - 16
SupremeSarna - 6
Yoshi - 3
For those of you keeping score at home, that's 124 badges for finishing games, placing in high score challenges, and completing birthday objectives.
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by, who played along, and who shared interesting retro news with the crew. I'm looking forward to another fun, pixel-filled year of gaming.
Here's the final tally for January's Game of the Month:
1. Sonic Adventure - 20 points
2. Fire Emblem / The Blazing Blade - 11 points
3. Ikaruga - 10 points
3. Doom - 10 points
5. Super Smash Bros. series- 8 points
5. Mega Man X - 8 points
After a whole console generation without a mainline Sonic game, Sonic Adventure arrived on the Dreamcast, ready to satiate a ravenous fanbase. The game, which launched in North America on 9/9/99 alongside the Dreamcast, catapulted the Blue Blur into the third dimension with a large, story-driven narrative that spanned many locales, challenges, and playable characters. After the release of a sequel and the failure of Sega's final console, the game was ported to Windows and GameCube as Sonic Adventure DX with adjustments to suit the new platforms, and to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a rushed HD remaster. While Sonic Adventure's legacy is somewhat mixed, it is fondly remembered among Sonic superfans as the first time Sonic dropped on hardware that could match his attitude.

While you won't be beating Sonic in any footraces, feel free to post a #BeatIt screenshot here.
Behind all the monthly shenanigans, another Annual Franchise Challenge will be active for 2024. Until January 10, post series or franchises that you want featured in this year's Annual Franchise Challenge. While the franchise was borne to highlight games that are longer or more involved than the usual monthly fare, feel free to nominate anything with a storied history that you want to explore. We'll vote on your choices until January 10.

"Using the PSP version as its template, this patch for Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight (the game's Japanese title) reduces load times, fixes bugs and even allows you to use the Saturn's 4MB RAM cartridge. Transparency effects which were missing from the original port are restored as much as possible, while certain sprites have been resized so they more accurately match those in the PlayStation version."
Here's a full list of the changes:
Full translation into English
Restoring the translucency of many objects
Direct access to the global map
Finalization of the global map
Restoring the original proportions of some sprites
Removing horizontal blacks
Skip videos and dialogues
Access to Richter's alternate costume
Reduced loading time
Supports 4MB expansion card

There's been a lot of buzz in the past few months about creating a version of the unreleased Sega Neptune, which would combine a Genesis and 32X in a single shell.
A designer recreated the shell that was originally teased in Sega's marketing, and a few modders figured out a way to squeeze a real Genesis 2 motherboard and 32X inside of it.
https://www.youtube....
It looks like someone else is taking things a step further and creating a mainboard. You solder in the chips from a real Genesis and a real 32X, and it works like the real things.
https://twitter.com/...
The 32X is obviously a very niche console, but I think it's neat that people are still playing around with it so many years later. This is a much more svelte way of adding one to your setup without having to stare at a mushroom.
