I got frustrated a couple years ago trying to run a very old windows game so I ran win 3.1 through DOSBox and it worked.

Where did you get it? The internet archive link from the article said “item not available”.

I like the PS2 ad that pretended to be a PS9 ad

Jokes aside, a lot of devs love watching stuff like speedrunning. It means someone loved their creation enough to minutely analyze it and spend countless hours with it.

eg check out the devs watching a guy beat Psychonauts https://youtu.be/lsDc1YVxHA0?t=517

(I’m pretty sure there was similar version of this where they guy wasn’t in the room and they were just watching the earlier recording of the speedrun but I can’t find it now)

I never figured out what the eventual goal was. I remember solving various puzzles, like opening the gates to hell, getting through the maze of twisty passages, killing the troll, etc. But I don’t remember ever figuring out what the win condition was supposed to be.

I like the “if doom was like CoD” vid from like 10 yrs ago

I was just watching a video about that this week. Always fun when old games get new strats

Yeah, this level pops up all the time on “Nintendo hard” (read: unfair difficulty) level lists, but it really wasn’t much of a problem. You would often lose some of your health bar and at worst have to switch out one of the turtles because of low health, but that should’ve been mostly it. The game itself was pretty damn hard overall and there are plenty of unfair jumps, annoying respawning enemies, and mazes to complain about that are all designed to make you redo sections and sap your health, but the dam in particular never really felt like all that much of an issue.
