The Secret of Monkey Island
image
The Secret of Monkey Island stands out among early LucasArts adventure games for its artwork, its music, and its extraordinary sense of humor. Whereas many of its cousins were brilliant one-offs, Monkey Island launched a decades-spanning franchise of swashbuckling misadventures that began with a humble entry for personal computers like the IBM PC, Atari ST, Amiga, and FM Towns. Aside from a port, the game's mouse- and artwork-heavy gameplay didn't have much of a footing on consoles until a downloadable remaster crashed into digital stores on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Play The Secret of Monkey Island on MS-DOS Amiga Atari ST FM Towns Mac OS Sega CD Play The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition on Windows iOS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Complete any version of The Secret of Monkey Island to earn the Guybrush Threepwood badge: image BONUS GAME: Complete the world tour in Top Gear to earn a bonus badge: Badge coming soon |

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. |

April 2024 Edition - Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
Gender dynamics being what they are, while Pac-Man built an empire of arcade games, follow-ups, and power-ups, it took his poor wife 18 years to get the pseudo-sequel that her grown-breaking eponymous title deserved. Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness - a reimagining of the blockbuster classic arcade game - dropped for the PlayStation in 2000 and infused the Pac Maze formula with 3D graphics, level progression, and a big bad that's after the world's treasures. The initial PlayStation release was followed up with spruced up ports for the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast, a 2D portable release for the Game Boy Advance, and a PC sequel that nobody cares about. Complete the single player mode in any release of Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness to earn the 3D Ms. Pac-Man badge: image |
March 2024 Edition - Donkey Kong franchise
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?

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. Play Shaq Fu on Sega Genesis Super Nintendo Game Boy Game Gear Amiga Complete Story Mode in any version of Shaq Fu (or Duel Mode in the Genesis, SNES, or Game Gear releases) to earn the a badge for the character you used: image image image image image image image image image image image image |
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. Play Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Buy it on the Xbox Marketplace Play Sonic Adventure DX on GameCube Windows Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Buy it on Steam Buy it on Humble Buy it on the Xbox Marketplace Finish any release of Sonic Adventure to earn the a badge for the character you used: image image image image image image |

I beat two more DK games: Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat .
[imgt w=1280 h=720]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
I raced a friend at DKC. To make it a bit more fair for him, I remapped my Joy-Con and played the game with one hand, even putting said Joy-Con in an awkward-to-hold peripheral. I won by a country mile, but we both expected that given my knowledge of DKC.
I love DKC. The challenge, the personality-filled foes, the Animal Buddies, rolling through enemies, finding bonus rooms, etc. the graphics are a product of their time, yet we’re also revolutionary for said time! My personal favorite stage is Misty Mine—you can practically feel the sweat on your brow as the cave becomes a snake-infested sauna! Poison Pond and Tree Top Town are the worst stages—one likes pelting you with fast hazards that come out of the limited camera, the other has annoying barrel cannon sequences.
[imgt w=1536 h=2048]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
As for DKJB, it works way better than it has any right to. The would-be Super Mario Galaxy devs got DK flinging around stages, grabbing bananas, killing enemies with sound waves, and racking up combos… using a bongo-themed controller! The game is crazy fun, and even earned the very first E10+ rating from the ESRB. You beat the ever loving snot out of bosses, sometimes in a straight-up boxing match. It’s a blast, and you should really try it if you get a chance.

Damn, @SupremeSarna is on a roll this month. I know I'm a little behind on badges - both of my PCs are in pieces at the moment - but I'll catch up shortly.
I'm still working on the GBC release of Donkey Kong Country. The 8-bit arrangement of Fear Factory (the music in the factory levels) is the remix I never knew I wanted.

Mission complete. I finished Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Color.
https://twitter.com/...
Definitely wild that they were able to cram most of the original game into such a limited platform, but it works fairly well. Unlike a lot of downsized games like this, the smaller viewport didn't seem to hinder the core gameplay all that much. Moving platforms and barrels, however, seemed to be a lot more finicky than their Super Nintendo counterparts. The original wasn't without its frustrating moments, too, but there were a couple of jumps, bees, and barrels that made me want to throw my Pocket out the window.
There was also something funny going on with the A and B buttons when both held down, but I don't know if this was an issue with the game or with the Analogue Pocket. Both seem equally likely. Both the jumpiness of the engine and the imprecision on the Pocket are well documented.
Next on my list is Donkey Kong Land 2. I played through most of the first world when OpenFPGA was released for the Pocket last year and will hopefully work my way through the rest of it before the end of the month. I've also managed to track down cabinets for all three of the original Donkey Kong arcade games at work, so I'm trying to figure out the logistics of hammering on them for a few hours next week.

You work in at a business with arcade machines? Keep an eye out for Donkey Kong 2, which I have played in an arcade. I have no clue if it’s an officially-licensed Nintendo game, but it looks the part.
I also beat DKC on GBC.
[imgt w=1536 h=2048]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
It’s so much better than the GBA port that came two years later. This one feels like an earnest attempt to bring the original DKC to a handheld while adding a few neat extras, rather than an attempt to “improve” the original with really bad sound effects and colors grading (looking at you, GBA). It even contains a couple tunes from DK Land, which was refreshing.
Did you enjoy Necky Nutmare, Renaissance2K? It’s a completely unique stage, y’know.

I work in Big Tech. A bunch of our buildings have dedicated Game Rooms, and some of them have arcade machines or consoles. There's a running spreadsheet of which buildings have which games, and I found two Donkey Kong machines on them. Hopefully, everything is up to date.
(Intentionally not mentioning the company name. I'm sure it's not a big deal, and I may have even mentioned it before on the forums - I know it's come up in Discord - but you never know these days.)
Necky's Nutmare would have been fine, except for those segments where you have to go through a crawlspace while Necky is spitting nuts at you. You have to take advantage of the crummy clipping to jump "through" the edge of the overhang to some extent, but that's not at all intuitive.

@Renaissance2K didn't you say we'd get a barrel if we beat Mario vs. DK last month for Frank's thread? I did that, thought I said it before. I've not been playing much of anything after I beat Lies recently... need to get back into DKC2 and Trepang^2

@Renaissance2K didn't you say we'd get a barrel if we beat Mario vs. DK last month for Frank's thread? I did that, thought I said it before. I've not been playing much of anything after I beat Lies recently... need to get back into DKC2 and Trepang^2
Updated. Sorry, I missed your original post where you reminded me that you beat it.

Anybody else a fan of LGR (Lazy Game Reviews)? His videos have been keeping me company lately as I do the dishes.
https://www.youtube....
He leans very heavily into old PC hardware - especially oddities - but he occasionally looks at old consoles, console mods, and retro games.
He's a bit of a goofy guy, and his sense of humor is probably awesome for some and annoying for others, but I think his scripts are well written. He does an on-point Duke Nukem impression as well.
I've had a blast checking out videos about hardware I had when I was younger or at least wished I had. His videos about Orpheus soundcards, Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro, Zip drives, CompactFlash, etc. were great trips down memory lane. He even posted something on Patreon this week where he restored a Gateway 2000 G6 tower, which was my family's first "modern" PC back in the day.

Well, that was a much cooler response than I was expecting. Where on Earth did you find that gun?
On the monkey front, I finished Donkey Kong Land 2.

Other than Diddy and Dixie jumping much higher than the monkeys in Donkey Kong Country GBC, I don't have much to comment on here. Toxic Tower was a brutal way to start the endgame, especially not knowing about some of the animals' special moves going in.
I started Donkey Kong Land III immediately afterwards, and while I barely remembered 2, III came rushing back like a nostalgia tornado. The songs that back the overworld and the data screen must have been living in the back of my head all these years without paying rent.

At one of the two flea markets in town. I think it was at the one that burned down four years ago. I left mentioned this in a comment EIGHT YEARS AGO, so I'm updating it a bit:
I bought some of these at my usual thrifts in the early 2010s, and sold them for a bit of cash. Then a few years later, a bunch more showed up; apparently a batch was donated to a Goodwill in California (which is where many of my sources got their stuff.) The online prices on these skyrocketed around that time.
I think I bought a few more and sold them, but kept one around for whatever reason. I found it while cleaning and figured he'd like it so I offered it to him and shipped it out.

I think just adding one new Animal Buddy would've made DKL2 a more memorable experience. DKL1 had a scrapped Animal Buddy--a ram named Rambunkshus, likely intended for the Monkey Mountains--so that idea wasn't off the table when the Game Boy series was conceptualized. It's a little interesting that technically-complicated stages like Castle Crush and Haunted Hall had to be replaced with unique ones, but that's sorta it for DKL2. It just leaned into DKC2 too hard to gain its own identity.
DKLIII at least has a new hub world, new stage names and arrangements, time trials, concentration, and a Bear with a teleporter. That's just enough to keep things fresh, which I appreciate.

I missed out when you explained it earlier, but Donkey Kong Land III got a full-color Game Boy Color port in Japan? I did some save file magic, downloaded a translation patch, and am going to work through that version of the game instead. I made it through the first two worlds already, but at least now I don't have to start over.
Anybody have any other games they want to nominate for next month?

There's a version of Maze Madness on GBA as well. I have it on a cart with Pac-Man World.

Ugh I love ms Pacman as well as Dreamcast.
Throw in a trip to Disneyland the LA Arboretum and some princess crap and thats the best 2024
I can imagine at this point. Unless something else pops up to add to
the festivities.
