Let's Play Neuromancer 01 - Hooray for cyberpunk!

Sorry about the guest commentator's volume. I'll see what I can do about it, but it's going to be like this for a few videos at least.

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.

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

... 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.

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.

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.

I FUCKING LOVED THIS BOOK.

you two sound like robots

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! :)

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