Dick Tracy (NES) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

Ойындар

The Nerd turns into a detective to find out why no one would want to play Dick Tracy for the NES, and soon uncovers the many flaws and problems with it. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 56.
A year on from Tim Burton's successful revival of Batman onto the big Screen, Warren Beatty attempted something similar with another comic-book origin detective story, Dick Tracey. Hitting theatres in 1990, it had Beatty on producer, director and acting duty playing the title role. He was joined by a mouth watering cast including Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and Madonna with Danny Elfman scoring. With a strong marketing campaign aimed at kids, expectations couldn't be higher.
On its release though, the film received mix reviews, and despite a strong weekend opening, it generally disappointed at the box office. Twenty five years on, it hasn't been able to establish itself with any kind of lasting memory or legacy for the character.
'But what of the game?' I hear you ask.. released by Bandai, (who really should have just stuck to making action figures) The game is both a driving top-down and side-scrolling platformer, putting the player in the role of a detective trying to gather clues to solve a case. Sound good right? If you can find yourself a steerable bullet-proof car, a map, pen and paper, plus hire a NASA scientist to help explain how the health power-ups work, you'll enjoy it just fine ...
The Nerd wasn't so lucky. Better get your banana rain-coat on, the poo is about to hit the fan.

    I actually became an electronics engineer partly because I wanted to understand why so many earlier games were so tough. Turns out a lot of it was early memory coding. Having the game remember such things as continue points, number of lives, and inventory items and item amounts was actually pretty tricky back then. Could be done, but it was only the game developers with the most saavy programmers that could do it. It's interesting looking back at these games and having some idea what was going on in the programming behind the scenes.

    @@fernandobanda5734 This is true. Also: if players could beat an NES game in one sitting, they wouldn't be likely to buy it, they'd just rent it once or twice instead. So since these games had such limited memory to work with, they had to make it incredibly difficult to try and extend the length of the game.

    Shove it up your ass. Coding lives is one of the easiest things to do in games programming. It's literally a single if statement, a counter, and a decrement. There are many ways to make it harder and more memory intensive, but a basic go-back-to-this-location life system is utterly trivial.

    No need to be such a Dickard about it, Angolin. But yes, techtronicman1's comment is only really valid for the earliest, non-CPU-based arcade games - the ones that used TTL logic. The NES had 2K of RAM built in, which is plenty for storing "continue points, number of lives, and inventory items and item amounts". And cartridges could also include additional RAM, up to 1 MB, which would be enough to store the full state of the game, including the positions of every dead enemy body, etc. Now, the Atari 2600 only had 128 _bytes_ of memory, in which case the argument holds a bit more water, but as shown by games like _Adventure,_ it's perfectly possible to code a relatively complex game state within those limits, if you're careful with your RAM usage. I wouldn't say you had to be one of the best of the best to do this successfully (almost every programmer during that era had to work within pretty severe resource constraints), but yes, you had to be a good coder.

Instead they used the password system which is pretty much a cheat code as far as I understand. You can enter anyone else's password and it will work, that's basically a code which you say "I had x lives, y powerups and stopped in z in the game" with.

His extreme rage at the end feels like the anger from his childhood coming out. He loved Dickard, but got a fucking rock for Halloween and later, a horrible game. I know he's really just acting and wouldn't go so insane over a video game, but I just feel bad for him.
