It felt similar, but also like an entirely different game, with a really cool final boss. If you enjoyed the NES game, this one is definitely worth playing. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #Retro #RetroGaming #Nintendo #GameBoy #KidIcarus #Platformer #PlatformingGame
a screenshot from The NewZealand Story (arcade). Tiki is walking underneath some spikes. if he jumps, he dies, but he's fine for now.
a screenshot from The NewZealand Story Untold Adventure (Steam). in the same area, Tiki is hurt by the overhanging spikes.
collision detection is a big problem. in the original, tiki can sit under spikes safely, but if he jumps, he dies
this uses the original maps but doesn't adjust them for the new spike collision that makes you take damage at any point in the spike, so this 4-4 shortcut hurts you now
A shockingly terrible decision that drastically changed the way I purchased new games going forward. Truly amazing how such a simple act could make the game instantly unplayable.

A very happy book birthday to @nmillerillo.bsky.social and SUN, MOON, AND STAR: A FOLKTALE FROM KOREA. My mom didn't tell me any of these stories when I was a kid, but I'm eagerly awaiting my copy so I can read it with my daughter. www.nmillerillustration.com/books.html

If you make an NES game for the e-Reader, you can avoid the limitations. @sarahlynne.bsky.social did just that with Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex. She wrote an article explaining how to avoid the pitfalls.
