Fight (Atari 2600) to child of eden (seen at E3), Los Angelinos returns to Ground (available on the x box live).

Fight REZ ...


Ocarina of Time, RE4, 1080 °, Super Mario Galaxy, Flower, Mario Kart Super Circuit are part of its video game preferences. His first video game experience: Combat.La latest, which can resonate with the news: GROUND. For RetroGame blog and following the E 3 finally here fighting REZ, a contribution of Los Angelinos.

I had what, 5 or 6 years ago when I played with my brother on my Atari 2600 and early in the game, I was not playing any game I played at Combat ... And with this track, my life would be forever marked by the seal of gaming.

COMBAT, the name still rings in my ears at the mention of this game, the images appear as if it yesterday. A single cartridge inserted into the legendary Atari console, a black handle with a single red button, and it was left for miles and miles of video game bliss. From that moment, for me, the world stopped.

I will touch on only aerial combat (my preferred method): two had seen from the side or top (depending on the model plane), fixed a few clouds, but above the particularity of this game mode was able to pass through the edges of the TV screen to show the opposite. Let me explain : If your plane passing through the bottom of the screen, it reappeared at the top, right by the left, etc ... Imagine, if only for an instant, risk-taking and the opportunities that were permitted in order to avoid , slip into the back "of his opponent and then shoot him. Especially that little bit to spice up two clouds well placed to your aircraft offered an opportunity to be out of sight for a short time, making the game possible tactical AN INSANITY !!!!!! !

Since then, successive games (and also your articles) ... until yesterday, Ubisoft has everything just unveiled at E3 2010 a "spiritual sequel" Child of Eden to another of my favorite games: GROUND ... three letter synonym for happiness sensoriel.L occasion to revisit this title yesterday, the latest of which for me is that on the news.



Originally from GROUND (called Project K during its development phase as a tribute to Kandinsky, the famous Russian painter), there is a man, a genius mind : Tetsuya Mizuguchi, which we had previously offered the super mega funky Space Channel 5 (among others). Since GROUND, Mizuguchi left Sega and started his own box: Q? to give us some pretty p'tites gems like Lumines and Meteos for the DS on PSP. Anyway, back to our sheep videogame.

What GROUND?? To put it simply, say it's a shooter in 3D on rails (Panzer Dragoon), but it is mostly a gaming experience unique. You are a kind of "virus" represented by a character sent within an Artificial Intelligence to understand and eradicate the evil that gnaws.

What is striking from the outset, it is later stripped due to the graphics in 3D Vector (wire-free texture patch above), this bias has at the time (in 2001, we are on Dreamcast and PS2) can react all that is on the screen, enemies, the personal, the sets (inspired by Mesopotamia, the Great Wall of China, Genesis, etc ...). Let me explain: Your "About Me" (rolling) plane with the possibility of locker juqu'à eight enemies at once, each shot will sound clean and so the more you lock it enemies, the more soundscape racing. The sets are also reacting to the zic (Japanese techno made by big names at the time: Keiichi Sugiyama, Ken Ichii, etc ...) vibrating in rhythm.

The next music game has been debated because it is true that one can "beat" his shots at will, the soundtrack is not altered. But which way my ancestors! For about 1.30am (life extremely short but very intense), you'll feel a unique experience traveling visually, musically and even more (handles vibrate in rhythm) in a simply amazing Woolf-ill patient knock out bosses and enemies more than not. The game divides, it is true, some adulation, others hate it. No half-measure so. For my part, it is one of my favorite games, so. Go ahead take the HD remake on XBLA (800 points) compatible 16 / 9 and 5.1 for greater immersion, you will surely regret not !!!!!!! GOOD GAME !!!!!!!

Trouble shooter and Battle Daikinjiyoo mania or angels of the galaxy Megadrive by Jb (Gemu Otaku)

Battle Mania or the angels of the galaxy Megadrive ...

Battle Mania (Trouble Shooter) and its sequel (Battle Daikinjiyoo mania) are two shots left them up on Genesis between 1989 and 1993 while two made by Vic Tokai who also worked on many games Nes. This

shooter scrolling stands the fact that failure to operate a spaceship or other vehicle equipped with laser cannon and many you play two charming young ladies armed to the teeth, a bit irritable (that is a euphemism) and to the gate rather easy! Small

"flashback" in rear, I found this game to Micro Mania Forum des Halles 5 Rue Pirouette level -2 to be more precise (do not try to go there is an H & M now ) and what was my surprise to find myself face to face with a wall of Japanese Megadrive games yes Sir this may seem paradoxical but it is at Micro mania that I discovered the existence of Japanese games.

Jacquette The Game, representing both hysterical in micro shorts could not leave me indifferent! And knowing that this was a Thurs ® cocktail was all the more explosive!

In the first part you tumble Austin Mini in the early first stage to do battle with the surrounding gente. You have previously had the choice to select from your garage foirfouille one of four special weapons that can be triggered whenever you see fit provided you let it go at its max.

The interest of this game lies in the fact that you handle the two heroines at the same time, let me explain: While you always pull in the same direction with Kei (the blonde) you can steer the shot of Yuri (the brunette) forward or backward (when I finally think this is nothing exceptional but back then it was worth its weight in originality!) To spice play the intermediate phases are moving very fun especially in the second strand (Battle Mania Daikinjiyoo) those shows you the two heroines fully flared after beating the last boss of the first episode from the last tap on the window of their room to signal that is not dead yet!

The graphics are beautiful, smooth, crisp and slightly grainy as some could be Megadrive games of the time and effort has been made on some decor includes a large number of parallax scrolling. The universe of levels are varied in two internship for example, you find yourself in a Japanese temple while in the next stage you will deliver a chase with a truck spewing missiles and lasers.

The music gives the spirit and are fun to listen to the whole.

The difficulty is well measured (very gradual) and you should not be too difficult to finish the game either the first or the second part of this series, the gameplay is no exception and the two protagonists of the game meets the finger and the eye.

Two good little games to recommend! And especially to fans of delusions shots (for those who are tired to take it) Radiant Silver Gun to!

Seeking The Akihabara French => Paris (He was once in the east)

In Search of The French Akihabara. A guide (for) ... but not that micheline


Paris (Part 1: The east.).

Boulevard Voltaire

... I heard everything about it.

A mafia runs everything.

For them, the dozen of these shops on the Boulevard (the street Rampon Oberkampf, Rue de malta, the passage of bowling and Rue Jean Pierre Timbaud) and therefore its players, s' agree on the price ... Prices are not justified, often with exorbitant on seller / buyer totally disproportionate (share 1 set nine against three recent games will see his buy 3-4 times cheaper than they are then sold ...). In the scam, in a word!

The location of the game in Paris.

Go there, it find what we seek! Of imports found in the museum piece extremely rare, to news outlets ... not officially here, I must first be recalled that in eastern Paris and on the retro gaming Retrogames shop, already in light in this blog (be it the store from the street or that bunch of Avenue of the Republic) or the neo shop legend (I'll soon) ... the best pieces are there without a doubt ... Only , that is, there is also, Boulevard Voltaire in eastern Paris. For me, it's more than 20 years of happiness, browse its shops (about 14 ... that number varies.) negotiate for, seek, find, buy and sell or just watch. Thus, like a zombie, saw in the mall (a film of the same name), irresistibly drawn by memories completely enfuient you cross me, perhaps, too regular consumer, the amorphous sensations: I 'm there trolling for 20 years! The look a bit dazed passing "level up" I remember the late "video invasion" and offers more surprising. This store, in lieu thereof, reigned a few years ago, supreme. So yeah, to start this research, the national ambitions of the French Akihabara, here's my review (retrospective) on the famous boulevard ...!

So, Boulevard Voltaire, the French Akihabara?

Early Boulevard (when you are back in place of the republic) is on the left side (even numbers) that are the shops (on the right, was once one of the most enticing, today is a tattoo artist to celebrities (singer taxi girl, for example, is regularly customized ^^.). First shop and one of the nicest (and in every sense of the term): Square games. Upstairs importing and many oldies, choice in all media. Vendors friendly and competent. And in the basement, a recent innovation and that commands respect: an arcade dedicated (in fighting against). Must. A vivid memory? I bought (two days before its official release) an episode of Pes (illegal, but significant!) Well, do not, either, embarrass them with this type of application, there are limitations, the manager and owner, no longer the same. The mother of my daughter me there (also) offered a neo-geo, another good memory (even if the sound sputtered a bit ... a frequent cough, due to his age.). The next shop was revamped the concept (of departure) is significant: the three levels (any console) are dedicated to the three current leaders: Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft and each occupies a level. I remember having enjoyed, there are already ten years his basement "very oldies, before its time" ... Sometimes the floor and the basement are blocked in this case, it will board (I am speaking to retrogamers here!).

The shop next MAXXI-GAMES is the best in retro games. A choice is just unbelievable. The corridor of the basement dedicated to SEGA Saturn full of gray and white cards Japanese Master System. One can see also boxed Nintendo Disc System, MSX cartridges and above all existing consoles or rather "have existed" (from the Atari to the gba sp collector) and a plethora of games very rare. The back of the store (still in the basement) = A whole section of wall (with a huge screen) dedicated to the Neo Geo. I've sold a few particularly well cartridges time SNK.J 've also, saw some rarities at very low prices. Last spring at 50 euros (party on the same day, missed!) .8 Man to 35 euros (a long negotiation, a little epic, buying / selling rather strong!).

Business there has been all over the boulevard ... done here and there, the cool thing to do is go around. But beware, however, since some modifications, the "personal trading," it becomes rather difficult at the moment! Retro fashion down its full, it looks like .... A few meters away ... Manga will sell you the full distribution (among others) from San Ku Kai, on DVD (the same as K7 marketed there a decade these episodes.), I found a t-shirt Donkey Kong rather narrow ... and envy (at the moment) not to move to blu ray (I'm not a consumer of Japanese animated series of the 80s, but hey, seeing the offer and still the same ... In principle, changes Media: I Quit!). Hobby one, the store below, sells modern games any media, some oldies (Dreamcast, GameCube), the collection of editions pix No love and movies on DVD (at bargain prices at the moment ... we will not return: I stop I say!). I would have bought two sold KOF 97 minutes from Maxxi-games and 30 ° / ° more expensive. It was 12 years ago. I have long regretted that sale ... finally! I do, ignore the shops, more and more likely that repair consoles. You know, all those purchased there is little ...

The three satellite shops that line are at the top then ... Here is each of the stores that are dedicated to an actor's current market (all times combined): Sony. Nintendo. Microsoft. The best advice on the X box, this strange machine, this is where I received the boards. Nintendo also released the shop of "lot". Again we find the pix ... The bosses of this package have been really nice, (and I'm not saying this because on several occasions, they gave me there boxes of consoles though ... (And do not laugh I love empty boxes ^^.). Level up (a ton of memories ... here.) concluded this part of the sidewalk. Trader is a shop down at the beginning of the angle and Jean-Pierre Timbaud Boulevard voltaire they are almost opposite. Nice start, positioning low price. Scarcity of supply (import jap and oldies). In the beginning ... today is rather "the price of imports and rarities" ... I'm me, too, increasingly rare.

it is becoming increasingly difficult (and less wasteful), the Vz! That said, the agreement on prices and the sudden twist to the famous rumor (that would govern the same family all this), know that all this is true. After "investigation": there are now almost as many different patterns as shops and prices significantly different from one store to another (I always talk about games anciens.Pour the rarities is the same thing ... it is roulette ... but if theoretically the streets (quoted in advance) perpendicular or parallel to the boulevard, the turnover is slower than logically and on the boulevard itself même.Un little more luck, so digging up a priori affaire.A

...

zi ... Go therefore, in those corners! Maybe you'll see it all:

A collector nee displaying its entire collection for resale, under your eyes, a price well below what you give him (here, right now, now ... rahhhhh, if the flight was possible customer!). These cards by the hundreds out of your memories, this avid arcade sells off its ... or Mvs this seller triumphantly waving once again, this collector "not for sale" (1). And then there's the rest, that's unusual: the rare and unlikely (accessory boxes, old media advertising) and all these parts, these games, sometimes inaccessible, still in cellophane, or incredible cheap ... as this card or cartridge in STV box (your most memorable game).

And then, perhaps, feel you, like me, these past transactions which reappear like ghosts in this place ... to relive a moment.

(1) There, in fact I confuse, it was (again!) Street keychain I think, ^ ^.

Rap, Mafia and video games ...

Originally the game: the arcades, Japan. The local mafia, the Yakuza, ensuring the "protection". The French Akihabara, Boulevard Voltaire, for his part has always been an "aura" of a mob (it persists for a long time this rumor that a family would be holding the fortnight of boutiques), the arcades, smoky, of the 80 were not better prepared the ground. The game would be (home) connected? ... a little, a bit like rap in fact.

Cultural Movement, from the street and has several components (in hip-hop and graffiti, in particular) rap fleurte as time is a little with the Mafia. Gangsta rap artists among its many former gang members.

We are in mid-April 2010, rapper Guru (Gang Starr, Jazzmatazz) just died. The war gaming around the museum (which just opened / closed following a strange problem of lift), for its part, has begun. It appears to me of course, ridiculous, much like anything that does not kill ... elsewhere. Apparently, no links between these two events? And yet! This article begins to appear.



"You're late, j'te say in advance. While they eat us, others are advancing. "This sentence Kery James (French rapper) could be summarized in his own way, this little war-war for the" authorship "of museum video game that has recently engagé.Une Association (MO5) on one side (supported by the Ministry of Culture) and a company that specializes in organizing events (Alert Orange) of the other who successful, for its part, creating, at the top of the arch of the defense, the first museum of gaming. The game has always conveyed an image of "insider" of stuff to share ... and his "protectors" are not always abroad, I think. But then, my friends retrogamers, the video game belongs to everyone ... and for rap, it's the same thing. Initially underground, he began to become public, should it do? Bah ... will have, I think!

In this photo, GURU (the late rapper) posing in front of an arcade Egret 2 (his name) from Taito (the manufacturer) ... gives me this reflection. The photo is taken in the first shop Neo legend (partner of the museum from 1 game and 1 dealer Japanese arcades, France).. You see? Even with a starting point a bit convoluted, found already resonances rap / video game and rightly so ... finally



rap and video games, are both born in the 80 and both have known of the first steps difficult. Only a few thousand faithful and is logical: the first exhibition spaces rather disreputable, disciplines where everything is invented. Not enough to attract the crowds! Thus, while the programmers and their first game ever most innovative DJ and the first evolved their creations begin to integrate more and more techniques and samples of their music. The dance starts fights, graffiti settle. Rap phrasing was more pure, hard ... hardcore. They also say hardcore gamer? Indeed.

Video games and rap are the fruits of the same generation and in the same way those two have become public, very industrial ... There, I forget for a moment the arcades and the absence of Evin law and just remember that the studios initially, whether programming or recordings, did not exist! The staff? It was rather a "gus", alone, groping, samples only, master on board. At the edge of the void (belly?). So all starts in the 80s and then accelerate in 1990. Today is a business that, in both cases, exceeded the understanding (understand the generation above!).
Among this generation (ours) some of us were lucky to be part of the core starting. Most of the time all players in the consumer movement that production materials. The origin of a commitment than passionate, for sure. And a need. Right to exercise power over the legitimacy of a particular generation, that of preserving the roots and stay the course. We're talking about Old School (meaning 2D games and rap "old") as opposed to mainstream success growing. Opposition to the 3D systematizing its beautiful graphics and soulless, innovations, and for the game without an affront to the relevant content, without demands, without creativity and full of samples of pop, to rap. Hardcore, old? (I'm talking about people who eat rap and / or video games for 30 years). ... And fortunately not all in fact, even if the opening does not mean abandoning the base!



In this video, AKH I am a little afraid to tell the truth ...


In writing? Rappers and columnists have their video game lot in common. The chronic
(c)? although of different shape, is one ... but it's not just that.

JM Destroy, Gollum, Rahan, Banasan, AHL, Matt Murdock, J'M destroy, shrimp and octopus jb, H. Falcon, Manga and Sempai (Jay) ... the chronic (c) markers have always been (historically) nicknames. Between the lines of "blazes" I see the Ice cube, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg or not you ...? current columnists, meanwhile, have a name and a surname ... Gollum today called: Julien C.; evolution? Must be that! Well, this rap is different, Bruno Lopez has not released an album that I know ...? The next "featuring" is also preserved. We support each other and in both media, culture as a cement passion as common. Thus it is not uncommon for a beginner columnist produce a text in the most experienced or that unlike most experienced, know the face. The rapper will do the same on an album or concert time for a clip of a show. Peer support, also works for those two. A "feat" in rap, can speak (for gaming) contribution ...

Finally, there is also, obviously, the productions that inspire each other. And, well beyond the sound effects and sampled from Street Fighter II present in parts of NTM and I AM, the links between rap and video games are multifarious and never interact. The rapper out of Parapa on the original PlayStation (one of the first rhythm game) to 50 Cent (the game ... rotten to the passage.). Thus, in GTA San Andreas you can listen to Dr. Dre while walking away. In Jet Set Radio, you can tag an entire city, it is even the goal of the game! Better yet, the walls of our cities, tagged yesterday by our rappers are now mosaic Space Invaders and other characters from video games.

"My life is not a video game," he said. And yet! Both arts have joined street appears
there! So that, even if fans of the first hour of these two cultures are much disgusted at the casual gameplay of Wii by producing rap now (that have no soul any Old School) and which is more akin to the variety and repetition only Hardcore. We must rejoice and stop all insults!

A generation has made rap made the game, the next was erected in the mass phenomenon, with enormous financial success ... so be it! It's perfect! To us all to continue to evolve and maintain these two cultures, ours. Without closing them. AKH finally give a good example? Well ... surely!

N. Thanks to Raphael B = (NEO LEGEND) for allowing me to use his photo with Guru and Solar. I would not have done without this article.
