cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 30/07/2026Although Bomber has been released by Sega in 1977 and the description makes it look like it's a Flying Fortress clone, but I cannot find any video of it. 010
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 27/07/2026I need to make a version of this specifically crafted for old JPRGs heads 170
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 21/07/2026I'm pretty sure my first racing game was F1 Race on GB. I also played quite a bit of Rally Championship, and F1 Racing Simulation made me buy a wheel. Unsure which other games I played but I also quite enjoyed GT Legends for a while. After that it was mostly Forza. 131
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 21/02/2026Or better yet: an Alpha }:-) Did you know you can very easily swap the Alpha's controls with standard sicks and buttons? It's... Pretty big, though. 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 22/12/2025I'm really pumped that Taito keeps pushing these, and that they've started going for third party games. I'm less thrilled by the actual selection. Some of them are real mysteries. 220
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 22/12/2025Oh yeah! One of the most impactful games I've ever played. Glad to have it physical at last. @serenityforge.com @origamedigital.bsky.social 151
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 07/09/2025La prochaine fois faut leur dire que c'est interdit et c'est 135€ d'amende haha non je déconne il s'en fout www.service-public.fr/particuliers... 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 07/09/2025Faut lui dire que c'est 135€ d'amende haha non qu'est-ce que je raconte il en a sans doute rien à foutre www.service-public.fr/particuliers... 000
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 28/08/2025Here is a list of shmups that I think are great beginners or casual entry points in the genre, with easy difficulties or features like rewind. I'm still a bad shmup player myself. All are available on Switch, most are also on PC and/or PS4/5. 2144
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 28/08/2025You have to admit, it's pretty funny to run SNK fighters on an officially branded Capcom cabinet. 000
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 29/05/2025Je sais pas qui c'est, mais... Je sais pas si c'est le compte qui est pourri ou ma liste qui se met à mettre des faux positifs 😬 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 16/05/2025On that I agree very much. Looking back on weird 70s and 80s games, there is a LOT of untapped design potential. Let's try to reinvent Cosmic Guerilla, Space Launcher, Space Laser, Astro Invaders, Carnival, Mad Alien, Magical Spot, King & Balloon, The End, Spiders, Flash Boy, Frog & Spider, 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 16/05/2025This is a pretty incredible take: "I haven't played these games but I think they're the future". What about playing them first, then coming back? Like danmakus, they are *one* of many possibilities of shmup design, and to be honest, I feel they have much less design space, but I'm not a designer. 010
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 16/05/2025Now let's analyze some of his remarks on more modern games. This part is spoken like someone who never ever played danmakus and just looked at them. Modern Danmakus are actually much easier to get into than most shooters from the 80s: they're impressive to look at, but very forgiving. 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 02/05/2025Fire Power (Allied Leisure, 1975) A game where you control a tank… and that's all that's clear from the description. There are mentions of minefields and aircrafts but if you can find how it plays based on that, kudos. 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 02/05/2025Combat (Bertolino, 1975) All I can say from the only picture I found is that there's a gun at the bottom, and planes at the top. How does it play? Your guess is as good as mine. 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025I mean, it's not bad, and I don't dislike it, it's just... I'd rather play SDOJ. 000
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025The design is also a bit too generic, honestly. It's just spaceships, and there's sometimes a picture of a girl. Lots of browns and greys, not helped by the UI around the game. 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025I'm loving DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou so much that I wanted to try DaiOuJou again. And... well, it still doesn't really click. The novice mode is a bit too easy, and the normal mode is too difficult and too technical. 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025I am less regular on the third stage, which has a lot more stuff going on. I can't imagine how it is in normal mode. But I can at least reach the fourth stage most of the time. I still can't get to the boss, though. 000
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025I'm getting better little by little. I can now finish the second stage without using bombs or losing lives in a very regular manner (still novice mode). 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025There's even a third episode, made for Game Gear by M2 in 2020, with the luxury of having basically infinite space on the cart (the ROM is 1MB, which was very expensive back then) and a much deeper knowledge of what the series is about. 010
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025The Game Gear episodes are especially nice, with nice graphics and balanced gameplay, although they suffer a LOT from slowdowns. 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025The second one is pretty fun, has nice graphics (for its time, sure), and is well balanced, rather on the easy side. 100
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025Aleste Collection A compilation of Master System and Game Gear (which is basically a portable Master System) shmups. Ported by M2 with their signature gadgets to expose everything there is to know about the internals. While I really don't like the first one, the rest is pretty good! 153
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025It's still pretty good, and there are fun options like this display of the hitbox of everything on screen, which made me realize how tiny the player hitbox actually is. 010
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025Raiden III x Mikado Maniax Pretty good shmup but honestly IV does everything better, both in-game (the green bending laser is not very good vs the purple plasma), and outside (there's just much more content in IV) 221
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025See all the shots there: the same enemy can shoot in various patterns, and it's not really predictable. I don't like roguelikes exactly for that reason. 000
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025I got much further than I used to this time, but I felt more like I got lucky than I got good. 110
cosmo @cosmo0.fr · 20/03/2025Tried Super XYX again. I still don't like the lack of visibility: bullets have a lot of different shapes and colors, and a lot of them kind of merge with the background. Plus there's a lot of randomness in the patterns. 110
