Wish I wasn’t allergic to wearing white.
It’s never talked about these days but yeah, back in the day it was a pretty well known hit. I don’t know why but almost nothing makes me laugh harder than playing the BMX event on the Atari Lynx version and just making this poor bastard on the bike eat shit in the worst ways.
In the arcades, NHL Open Ice, AKA 2 on 2 NHL Open Ice Challenge. The sport of hockey done by the same team behind NBA JAM, which sadly never received the Tournament Edition version - like NBA JAM did - that it always deserved. The source code for it, and several other arcade games from Midway, did eventually get leaked to Github, so my hopes of a hack that adds stuff or gives us updated rosters is still alive: https://github.com/historicalsource/open-ice
Ladybird will save us all.
There’s so much I love about this game. I’m not a baseball game fan in general but I keep coming back to Base Wars. The fights triggered by a runner sliding into a base as the ball is arriving was always fun. The velocity of the ball when you hit a homerun was awesome. Great pick.
Depends on the streamer, I guess. Personality probably matters more to those that are variety streamers - people that play many different games at any given point with a large general audience and probably less important for those that specialize in a specific game that has a built-in community of people interested in that game.
Personally, I don’t care as don’t follow streamers myself. But seems like the right thing to do is to not abandon the people that built you up to begin with because something shinier shows up. Make a transition over time to something new, sure. But when it’s sudden like this, it’s hard to see it any other way.
