skunk smell emanating from somewhere nearby and it 100% is your dumb fault. a collective may be at fault. gather around the video computer system and plug an Actually Good Controller in to the video computer system. (SEGA Model No. MK-1653 if you know what's good for you)

I Have Just Mouth And I Must Eat

VCS games of this early-80s era live or die on their absurdities, and Telesys' Fast Food absolutely delivers. the chaos of the late pre-crash north american market is best exemplified by this game about a mouth in a void, devouring unfulfilling sustenance at varying degrees of speed. the movement of the character feels especially bouncy, and that's the mechanics. it it does the one thing it does, and it doesn't feel like it's falling apart while doing it.

i get that people decry these games based on the quality of things released after over 40 years of a zero-sum race to continuously shrink the microprocessor have passed. that's fine, but the sheer joy of showing this dingy 8-track lookin thing that was probably picked out of someone's garbage or left to dust in a closet for 30 years to someone, starting the game and going "That Is The Most Accurate Art I've Ever Seen On An Atari Game" at the same time is something to be cherished. atari games aren't meant for Rodd Toddgers to Totally Play For 24 Hours Straight Just Trust Me Walter Day, they're best experienced socially just because of how bizarre they might be, and fast food is no exception. when you're tired of this after 5 minutes, toss lost luggage in, then toss in whatever you get from the stack of these shits without even looking, get tired of that in 5 min, etc.... all while having a joyous time.

good advice for any person playing any sort of game - video or otherwise: it feels better to laugh at your failure states and learn.

mame should've warned you that timing wasn't 100% accurate upon starting the game. as of summer 2023, CV1000 emulation in mame now has slowdown that i'd even say is at least as accurate to the 360-era ports, if not more accurate. (i know it's not the same game but it is the same hardware so it applies) playing daifukkatsu on a local PCB and immediately trying it again in MAME later that night it felt much, much closer to PCB than when i did the same thing with the PC port of the 360 version a few years back, which seems much more aggressive with when and how much it slows down. still not 100% accurate, but far, far more playable. (although part of me does miss how goofy it is to play sdoj with the expert dress on mame before the blitter fixes were merged)

williams had the best sound of the era imo. many of their early solid state pinball machines re-use a few sounds from their video games, and it makes for a very hypnotic experience as you go along. a bassy drone between the sounds that play while scoring is much more engrossing compared to a lot of the tables from the dot matrix era onward, especially the licensed ones that borrow music from whatever media it's based on. the one i've been trying to learn lately, sorcerer, taunts the player in a similar way to sinistarr. something's gotta be in lake michigan.

conc jumps. CONC JUMPS!!! still miss them in in tf2

nah medic rules. if youre antisocial like me you would infect an enemy, then pass that to yourself, then hop into spawn and just sit there.

used to get kicked for putting teleporter exits under the stairs in 2fort, and also for launching teammates into level geometry at such a high speed that they immediately explode into gibs with the sniper.
