RGT Nostalgia Society #6 - Pepsiman

[thumbsdown]

Ive been using them through retroarch. Not sure if adrenaline supports it, I couldn't get it to work

Still not sure why my vita has stopped logging into retroachievements. I got a few In Resi 3 last month just fine.

If you do not set up retroarch to save your configs in the exit, it will keep logging out from RA

Yeah it's not that. I get a notification that retroarch tried to login but it failed.


Even after re-checking my password it hasn't worked. Something might need to be updated or something. I'll put some time into fixing it tonight.

It's November 1st, and that can only mean that it's time for another RGT Nostalgia Society!! Here we all choose a game together, then play along over the course of a month and see what we think of it and how many of us can reach the end before the month is up. This month: PEPSIMAN on PS1

This is a constant-runner/arcade game where you have to try and make it to the end of the stage by dodging various hilarious obstacles and characters to reach that sweet, sweet Pepsi. We're all going to be Pepsi-Co's bitches after this, aren't we?

Pepsiman as a meme is cool but the game idk i haven't played it yet.

Pepsiman as a meme is cool but the game idk i haven't played it yet.

I would say it feels very "video-game-y", something like an arcade game.

It's kinda cheap sometimes but due to its short length, it's not that egregious and you can beat it in a few hour.

Artisticaly, it's so blantly and clearly just an gloryfied ad for Pepsi that is kinda enderaing. I know people tend to just like these types of games ironically but Pepsiman is just so genuine that I can't help but like it.

I'm not trying to make it more than it is, but I can say Pepsiman is just more than a novelty.

Has anyone beat it yet? Or gotten all the achievements?

I just finished getting the last achievements I was missing on Black Myth: Wukong, so I'm looking forward to tackling a game with a much, much shorter run-time xD

Interesting i didn't know that but yeah it's just an ad game ps1 old but still funny nonetheless.

Finally ready to play

 

[JustLooking123]

Hey, i nominated the Pepsiman, and somehow missed this thread this entire time!

I have played a few levels of the game in the past, and genuinely loved its wackiness!
Also, i liked it as a game too! honestly i think it would be a good game even if it wasn't about Pepsi!

Finally an excuse to finish it!

kusoge rules the world

That's Pepsiman comped.

Tbf, the game was effective - I would quite like a Pepsi.

It's almost 2am here.
Goodnight folks

Congrats Kamako!! Was it worth it? Although Pepsi has control of your mind now, you still beat the fucker

I also dunno what happened but yesterday my retroachievements started working again for basically no reason, so I've started from scratch to try and grab the cheevos:

Thanks Lum!
Y'know, I think it was worth it xD I'm dreading going for the RA mastery though - I think that'll really test my limits. If I get it, that's when I'll know I've been properly Pepsified haha

Kudos for getting RA working again and good luck unlocking those cheevos!!

Hunting some achievements

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

I don't think I'm gonna be getting all the achievements within November lmao

I reached the Pepsi Factory (4-2) and hit it like a brick wall. I'm gonna keep plugging away at it while I can, though I'm going away today for a few days and I'll be away from my vita as a result.

Back for more Pepsi punishment

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

This game invented autorunners years before Temple Run and that one Metro one.

yo do you get the diet pepsi outfit for beating the game?

I really need to try and get through these last two levels lmao

 

[Kamako]

You do indeed! And there's two additional costumes for

Spoiler

collecting every Pepsi can in every level & for beating the game on expert mode.

I really need to try and get through these last two levels lmao

Level 4-2 is far and away the hardest in the game. Almost half my full play-time of the game was just trying to memorize and beat that level. The good news is, by comparison, level 4-3 ain't so bad. You're on the home stretch!

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I thought it was the Classic Pepsi can design (which changed the design of Pepsiman in the ad campaign since it was around '97).

You're right - It's actually the Classic Pepsi design (not diet), but in-game the design is simply referred to as "Old".

I assumed it was like the Japanese diet pepsi design or something lmao
Clearly, I need to study my old pepsi can colour pallettes.

Calling something "classic" wasn't trendy yet?

Also here's the designs through history:

Pepsiman PS1 came in 1999 as I've seen.
