Message: [QUOTE="Teone, post: 7380, member: 847"] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="446px" alt="1733184133550.png"]2590[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Inspired by [URL='https://hhug.me/']Handheld Underground[/URL] and [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqvjQ1rIpo']St1ka videos[/URL], I went into this searching for games that were under the mainstream radars, but had a interesting presence in the video game market around the world. As commented by St1ka himself in some tweets: [INDENT=2]"[I]I was tired of how stale the retrogaming discourse has become. I was tired of watching videos on the same games and same stories we've been hearing since '06. [B]Modern games for retro systems deserve respect. There are good bootleg games. Game development doesn't end in Japan and the US.[/B] The Amiga exists, Ms-dos exists, the Master System is Good."[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] In my case, my first contact console was a chinese famiclone called Polystation, with different 4893490-in-1 cartridges containing a lot of crazy stuff like a black and white Pokémon 2D platformers that I couldn't find anywhere to this day, as well as many of those bootleg games I've been sharing with you here. I'm writting this now but I can't say it in a better summarized way than [URL='https://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social']Felipe Pepe[/URL] (Editor of the CRPG Book, a free book on the history of Computer Role-Playing Games) in his Bsky: [INDENT=2][I]"There's extremely popular "non-official" games that I only know because I'm Brazilian - from Pokémon MMOs with 50k+ players to Android GTA hacks & soccer mods that became part of BR culture. [B]I often wonder how many more of those are hidden behind language barriers and a sanitized game history.[/B]"[/I][/INDENT] So, I wanted to open this thread for us to show some love for those games and spread their word for the ones yet unfamiliarized. Some of them can be very funny, but some can really surprise you technically. Which ones are your favorites? Do you remember any situation of playing it with some friends and having a good time? Let's share these memories and points of view! :D [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="196px" alt="1733183964345.png"]2585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="196px" alt="1733183944026.png"]2584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="192px" alt="1733184004254.png"]2587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="179px" alt="1733183983561.png"]2586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="217px" alt="1733184040196.png"]2588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="188px" alt="1733184364013.png"]2591[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
