Shining
Shining is a Sega role-playing game franchise that originated back in 1991 on the Sega Genesis & Mega Drive. Over the years, the games have adopted different modalities and mechanics - including turn-based RPG, strategy, and dungeon crawler - though many games share common character threads and a fantasy aesthetic. Most Shining games take an average of about 20 hours to complete, with later generation titles being longer and portable titles being shorter.

Doom 64 was released as a brand new Doom campaign for the Nintendo 64, set after the events of Final Doom. While not extremely successful or lauded upon its release, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years for its difficulty and atmosphere, in part due to a spooky ambient soundtrack from Aubrey Hodges. The game's sleeper status peaked in recent years when Bethesda dropped a remaster of the game in 2020 for modern platforms at a bargain price.

I finally put some time in with Doom 64 last night. I've heard the game is dark, but is it supposed to be this dark? I've never had to turn the in-game brightness up all the way for a game before.
I like that they're doing some cool stuff with scripting and in-game events. The Terraformer had a few of these, like when the eponymous machine finally activates. It already feels pretty brutal, though, beyond the usual "there's way too many demons here" challenge. I can't imagine what it turns into if my palms are already starting to sweat.
This is the point in the month where I'd call out everyone that's earned a badge so far. It doesn't sound like anybody's there yet, though a few of us have started. My January has been pretty crazy and I haven't been doing much cheerleading, so that's on me. Heck, I haven't even made a badge yet. I should probably get around to that...
image
There we go. Keep shooting demons, and we'll check back in at the end of the month.
Let's start taking nominations for the February Game of the Month. No themes next month; we're looking for any retro game that y'all want to play.
Also, if you want to nominate a game series for the Annual Franchise Challenge, feel free to do so at the same time. We're looking for classic retro games or series, probably on the longer side, that reward a permanent badge next to your name when completed.
We'll start voting on January 26 and call the winners on February. Let's hear what everyone wants to play!

I’m only on stage 14 of Doom 64 so far.
Some levels early on are the kind that make you never wanna play it again though.
Maybe higher brightness would have helped but there’s 3D platform elements that
Almost don’t belong in a Doom game EVER at least not a “classic” Doom.
Especially not without a dedicated jump button.

Level 6 is the worst so far with the platformer nonsense, but yeah after the first level basically it stops being “just a classic Doom game”.
After the first “set” of levels and it kinda starts over the game becomes much more enjoyable for awhile.
I really gotta get back onto 14 again so I can slog through that one. (The monsters are more difficult with way
less ammo than you need to move forward easily, it’s almost like a puzzle with your health and ammo
to get through levels like this).
It is still a good game it’s just not as free flowing as one would hope for. It’s definitely less
“intentionally annoying” than Mega Man 7 was but there are still plenty of places to get stuck
for awhile.

I'm unlikely to play Doom64 b/c I beat it in '21, the PC port, so I don't recall it being overly dark when I played it. I like the vibrant colors of the tweaked enemies. I don't know that I would classify it as 'classic' Doom, but it was close, certainly closer than Doom 3.

Yeah I never got into Doom 3. I know I have at least rented or owned a copy.
Maybe I still do have a copy idk it’s just not my thing. I don’t really like any
modern fps games either.
There are spots in Doom 64 (the remake at least)
that are way too dark, and you’re basically blind in
a couple of spots which is a really messed up gameplay “mechanic” to make the
game harder or more annoying or whatever. I’m thinking of a spot in stage 2 I think
And another in stage 6 in particular with this complaint.

Just spent 45 minutes on Level 6 and still haven't beaten it.
Got pretty far in it with one attempt, but then I fell down the bottomless pit filled with those invisible enemies, and couldn't figure out how to get out. If there is even a way out.
Every other time, I just did a terrible time of strafing to avoid the Hell Knights. Having a hard time juggling the shoulder buttons and the rear trigger on the N64 controller.
How many levels are in this game? *checks* Hoo boy, this might take a while.

I added it as an additional nomination. Today's our last day to nominate, and we haven't hit the minimum of five yet.
Psst... Nominate some more games!
So, I tweaked my button profile and switched A to "Shoot" and B to "Use", moving the weapon switching to the C pad. This made strafing a whole lot easier and was the nudge I needed to get through Level 6. Made it to Level 8 last night and died at the final ambush. Oh whelp. Keep on truckin'.

I’ve never played one, so I don’t know myself. I’m sure there’s a fan-established “end point” where nothing new happens anymore or the credits roll before letting you go back to the farm. I’ll look into it.

@Renaissance2K I’ve asked around and it seems most of the Harvest Moon games do have credits rolls or an end goal to reach. Most of them let you play indefinitely if you have the willpower, but in some cases, you have to set your own realistic goal and declare the game done after that’s reached. The SNES one does have multiple definitive endings, and the N64 one has a 3-year evaluation that you build up to (not three years IRT). The subreddit believes most Harvest Moons are feasible to beat in a month. Hope that helps.
