Let's Play Neuromancer 01 - Hooray for cyberpunk!

you two sound like robots

[qmriis]

You're about 10,000x better than that HCBailly tool.

I haven't messed with Amiga gaming at all, I like old DOS games though. Is this one very different from DOS version? I played this game a bit, couldn't really get into it though.

[Crowley9]

@qmriis The main difference is sound and graphics. No differences come to mind regarding gameplay.

[HardWarUK]

... Which brings me to my second point, That at the time this was not seen as a good conversion, looking to similar to the "inferior" C64!

[Crowley9]

@HardWarUK I did give the C64 version a try, but what really killed it for me was how much you need to be changing disks (it came on four). As a side note, the Apple version was graphically identical to C64.

[HardWarUK]

This was one of the games that kept the C64 going. At the time PC was 4 colour CGA with beeps, in comparison C64 with 16 colours and 4 channel sound was like having EGA and Soundblaster, which wouldn't come along for a while for PC! :)

doesnt ratz have a pink arm?

[Crowley9]

@ArtfulDawdger You have to give some leeway to the art. Making it pink in such a low resolution with limited color palette would make it difficult to distinguish from a perfectly normal arm.

[DeepPuzzlement]

the title screen and the guy's voice remind me of gunther hermann

[Icix1]

awesome awesome awesome

[skimaskradio]

yay i remember this game

[141Outlaw]

So, there were these two guys--

The first guy sounded uncannily like a text-to-voice speech synthesizer, and the other sounded like he was talking through a road-cone. One fine day, they both decide to play Neuromancer--and for 10 minutes and 33 seconds, they accomplished nothing.

Fin.

[Dkcode]

@141Outlaw lol

[planetery]

Synth-spaghetti?

I hate licensing..

[TeppichPilot]

I laughed my ass off at the point where you tried to imitate a german accent.... very well, made my day :)

Greetings from Nuremberg

[Mikko2143658709]

[Crowley9]

@Mikko2143658709 It's Amiga. I always put the system I'm playing on in the tags.

[Mikko2143658709]

@Crowley9 cheers

[txmetalhead82]

Awesome!

[Wargoat6]

Ugh, just get on with it.

[Raverque]

Whoopee!

[cwunchee]

WHOOPEE

[JamesWyatt]

Thank You! I've always wanted to see the ending to this game, but always sucked at it.. I still have my Commodore 64 Disks PAX Wheel, & Docs.

I'll be definitely checking back in from time to time.

[RogueIndustrialist]

I FUCKING LOVED THIS BOOK.

[Bajamamut]

"Ve have Vays of makin' you tolk, Amerikaner..."

I love that Raiders of the Lost Ark guy...and by "love" I mean he us creepy as hell XD

[blackesteyes13]

LOL Vee haff ways of makink you talk!

[QuasarEE]

Seems interesting from the get-go :)

[Intrafacial86]

Acronyms for the win!

[hercrabbiness]

Favorite part of the video:

"Ole hyvä."

(awkward silence)

"...kiitos."

Ah, "pudding;" another one of those stupid English words that's pronounced strangely for no reason whatsoever. Just a little FYI, the "pudd-" part rhymes with "good." ;)

[VigorBalloon]

Coincidentally, the pudding part was my favorite part.

Crazy, crazy people with their funny-talk.

[TomSFox]

A Churman zounds like me.

[MikeNnemonic]

As an undereducated simpleton, I've never heard of this game or the book it's based off of, but I'm fascinated with seeing more of it already.

[Resulka]

Oooh. I've always wanted to play nueromancer, But I suppose I'll have to do with watching it. ^^ Thanks for deciding to do it.

[ViceCommando]

Cyberpunk 4EVA!

:D

[LateBlt]

Actually, the slight hazing of my voice is perfect for this video, since it gives me a perfect excuse for my horrible "German" accent.

[Resulka]

No kidding. I could do a better german then you. ;P But yes, I agree with crowley, Very Burgomeister. ^^

[Crowley9]

Oh, it gets worse over the next couple of videos. Yes, it takes that long for us to move a single screen.

[Resulka]

That's horrifying and wonderful at the same time.

It's one of those "So Bad It's good" situations. ^^

I look forward to it.
