I AM IRONCLAW! | The Division 2 - Crafting/Upgrading/Rerolling a bunch of NEMESIS rifles! @iamironclaw | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Not played much since the release of this game. Maybe 120 hours or so. Only bought it so I had a game I could sniper in every now and then. Since Nemesis came out, I didn't wanna "play" until I had one crafted. So did the missions each week until I could craft one. Got shitty roll, upgraded and got shitty roll again. At this point I didn't know I could reroll them, LOL. So I spent another month getting one more. Then half-way through the third one, I realized I could reroll, but now I had a new goal, to get more and more Nemesis rifles. Wanted to get like 10+, just for fun, would look nice in the inventory :P (I'm weird). But after 5 of them, I had enough. Took several months, as you can only make one per month (unless you have more than one character), and I missed a mission here and there, so had to wait for it to return.
Now when I have a decent one, I might finally calibrate my gear and start playing for real. Up to now, I've pretty much not looted anything during the missions, and the stuff I DID loot (usually by accident or was bored or something) and got from those field proficiency caches, I just sold or deconstructed.

Felt like playing something cute :P
I noticed I could walk outside the screen to the right on the last boss. Cant be hurt then. I didnt wanna do it from the start, so did it half way through the boss fight instead, just to demonstrate.")

An amazing MSX2 port of this legendary game now also available on the Amiga (well, has been for a while now), with some improved stuff.
Im just gonna copy/paste whats said on Hoffmans website: (you can download the game and music there as well: https://hoffman.home.blog/metal-gear/)

Originally released in 1987 for the MSX2, Metal Gear became an instant classic. Designed by the legendary Hideo Kojima, it spawned a huge franchise in stealth gameplay and is considered one of the top games from the platform. While there are ports for the NES, Spectrum and C64 they were missing a lot of the key details from the original game. An Amiga version was once advertised in a magazine but sadly was consigned to myth and legend. That is until now.
Based on a full and commented disassembly by Manuel Pazos of the original MSX2 game cartridge, this Amiga port has been built to ensure as near a perfect conversion as possible. Gameplay elements remain intact while additional features have been layered on-top to ensure the fullest experience possible of Metal Gear on the Amiga.

I added the sound menu stuff at the end of the video just so we can hear the difference between the versions. Just a bit of each tune tho. For some reason the ending music for the Amiga version is not included.")

An arcade quality Amiga OCS port of Gradius/Nemesis.
Works on an A500 with 512kb/512kb memory, but some parts of the game will be very slow, so an A1200 is recommended, I read. So I played it on a stock A1200, but still got some slowdowns, but not too bad. Couldnt be bothered replaying with faster settings.
A quote from indieretronews.com:
The original arcade hardware runs on a Motorola 68000 @ 10Mhz. It features hundreds of colors and hundreds of sprites at the same time, multiple backgrounds, hardware zooming, and 8 audio channels. So an OCS Amiga 500 does not quite match these specs. Still it was possible to have almost an arcade perfect conversion for it. However, even the arcade version had many slowdowns, and on Amiga 500 there are even more. So its strongly recommended to play on Amiga 1200 (or better) for a steady 50fps experience.")

Modern River Raid on Amiga, I read.
The goal is to get as high score as possible while hopefully getting to the end of the one and only loooong level as well.
It doesnt require AGA, but it needs (again, I read) 14 mhz, 2mb chip and 1mb fast... something like that. So can be run on an OCS/ESC system I guess if it has like some accelerator card or something. One of my Amiga 500s has a ACA500+ which gives it like 40 mhz and 8mb ram, 1mb chip, so maybe it wont run on that cuz only 1mb chip... too lazy to check, or type properly here :).... anywayyyy... decent game.")

There are two version of this game - Abracadabra and Baba Yaga. Theres a lot of differences between them, like graphics, creatures, fonts, items, etc, but are mainly the same game.
In Abracadabra its winter and you are delivered by a dragon. The evil dude of this version is Satanicus, the horrible magician.
In Baba Yaga its summer and you are delivered by a stork instead, and the evil person is Baba Yaga, the wicked witch of the swamp.
I guess they both cater to different audiences. In Slavic myths, Baba Yaga is the wild woman or dark lady of magic, she has chicken legs. There are many stories about her in Russian folklore.
You have no control over the text/dialogues most of the time, so you have to wait for the next one. In some places the scene fades out at the same second the last text is shown, so cant be read unless you pause. Sometimes its a bit too fast. Anyway, its not me clicking or anything, just so you know :)
When selecting the look of our hero, the two left-most portraits look female (Im sure they are, or at least the one to the farthest left). So, I decided to be male (Adam) in abracadabra, and female (Eve) in Baba Yaga, but turns out the game doesnt know this and still call her he/him in the dialogues, even if I select the first one from the left.
If you dont select a head, clothing or name, the game does it for you, and you get the default colors and the left-most head, and are given the name of Nemo.
I cant help to laugh at the German voice during the animal names part :)
One thing that is kinda fucked-up is the baby is delivered to those poor woodcutters. They are POOR! The last thing they need is another mouth to feed, IMO.
Most of the time you find the item after the 4th try, EVEN if you click on the SAME thing all those times, lol. The dungeon scene is different and will pop the item after the 7th different thing youve clicked on.
In Baba Yaga I played on hardest difficulty (and was the first of the two games I played through). the difficulty is too high and Im sure they didnt play-test it.
When you die you are just moved one screen/scene back.
There seem to be different random outcomes in the dungeon after the enemy has been defeated (at 11:19). In this case it was a girl from the left gate, but one time a bubble (doesnt look like a ball) came bouncing in from the bottom right and popped a bearded gnome-looking person with a red hat. There could be more.
At 20:20, I tried for over 20 minutes and couldnt get to the other side, but was determined and eventually managed to time the jump PERFECTLY, its down to a pixel not too far or short, or you get hit. So stupid.
At 20:30, I tried even longer than the previous screen and gave up, was IMPOSSIBLE, so decided to try the debugger in WinUAE (the emulator I use) to read the memory to find the X value of the players position, took some time but I managed. This is why I teleport to the other side, because there was no other possible way. Also because of this; I played Abracadabra on easy.
After the ending, I right click to bring up the menu and select to return to the menu, then to get dropped at the castle instead. After the first room has been completed, I bring up options again in the next scene and quit, because from her on out, its the same as the previous journey via the woodcutters.")
