Still Loading #367: Early Video Game Emulation w/ Zophar

Emulation is a polarizing subject in video games. While I personally feel its not a bad thing there are people who only associate with piracy. So I figured who better to talk about this topic than the founder of one of the earliest emulation websites, Zophar. Zophar founded Zophar's domain back in 1996 as a way to aggregate emulation information and it grew into something much more than that. Zophar and I chatted about how he started Zophar's domain, why he left, his feelings on emulation and much more!

A huge part of video game history is context. Context surrounding a game's development, context surrounding a game's release, context of the time and place the game was made during. Context informs how we interpret the past. This week on the show I am joined by author and journalist Ross Benes to talk about his book "1999: The Year Low Culutre Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times." We discuss what about the late 90's has informed so much of our present, how that culture affected the games that came out and how the games themselves were part of that percieved "low culture" at the time. There is so much more in his book worth diving into but I felt like this was a good introduction for ya'll to see what Ross has written.

This month we discuss a massive wave of censorship that is affecting the entire games industry and even forcing us to re-write chunks of our own game, The Last Waltz.  Then we go on to discuss older games - particularly JRPGs - and some of the mechanics that we're glad have been left behind. As much as we love the aesthetics and classic quality of these games... we are also glad that some mechanics have been left for the retro compilations now.  Finally, we talk about all the games releasing in August. It's a relatively quiet month, but that doesn't mean there aren't things coming up to pay attention to!

This week we set sail for adventure here on the Still Loading Podcast. Joining me is new friend to the show Supertendo to talk about the originally maligned but now beloved Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Despite being more beloved now, Wind Waker had a very polarizing launch back in 2002 when it came out. This was not the Zelda most fans were looking for at the time, myself included. But a gutsy choice from Nintendo back then has proven it's staying power. Wind Waker is significantly more popular now than it was back when it released and I would like to feel like that is largely because it's intended audience grew up a bit and played the game on it's own merits and not based on their expectation. Supertendo and I discuss all of this on the episode along with how we feel the gameplay holds up, is sailing fun? Which is better the OG or the remake? Is the Triforce quest THAT bad?

Diese Folge von From Retro to Neo ist nicht ohne Grund die bislang längste, die wir für euch aufgezeichnet haben: Das Horror-Adventure Devotion des taiwanesischen Entwicklers Red Candle Games wurde nach seinem Erscheinen im Jahr 2019 zunächst groß gefeiert und verschwand trotzdem innerhalb weniger Tage in der Versenkung. In diesem Podcast Andy erklärt nicht nur, warum Devotion so gut ist, sondern erzählt euch auch die spannende Geschichte rund um die Zensur und das Verschwinden des Spiels und wieso ihr es nun endlich auf legalem Weg erwerben könnt. Und was hat das eigentlich alles mit Winnie Puuh zu tun? Viel Spaß beim Hören! Andy & Benedikt

Joining me this week is Rick from Pixel Project Radio to help me change in and out of numerous costumes as we discuss the first ever direct sequel in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy X-2. X-2 expands the world of FFX in many clever ways while also introducing a really unique battle system that I enjoyed a decent amount.

BONUS EPISODE! For a surprise bonus episode, I sat down to chat with Karl Hörnell to talk about his recently released speculative fiction novel Singularity Minus Twelve. Karl is also a game designer who was fairly prolific on the Commodore 64 back in the 80's along with web based gaming in the later 90's/early 00's. His novel Singularity Minus Twelve tries to imagine our world in the future with how AI may be integrated into our lives. It's also a freakin' fun read where it's like the Dirty Dozen (you know that 1967 movie) meets rogue AI. In this gaming adjacent episode (hence why it's a bonus episode) we discuss how his game development career influenced his writing and the themes he wanted to incorporate into the book and what does being sentient really mean.

Es ist wieder Quiz-Zeit! Die Hörerinnen und Hörer auf Patreon und Steady haben Fragen gestellt, die Herren Podcaster treten gegeneinander an. Den Quizmaster gibt wie immer der fabulöse Christian Beuster. Die Frage aller Fragen: Wer wird gewinnen? Setzt ihr auf Christian Schmidt, der auf einem Teppich aus alten PC Player-Ausgaben meditiert, bis ihm der Cheatcode zur Erleuchtung einfällt? Fabian Käufer, der bei Vollmond mit einer Virtual-Boy-Maske durch den Wald läuft, um sein Quiz-Chakra zu stärken? Oder doch auf, uh, Gunnar Lott, den Schamanen des Schätzens, den Kardinal der Konjektur, den Fürst der Finten? Podcast-Credits: Quizmaster: Christian Beuster Assistent des Quizmasters: Christopher Bär Kandidaten: Christian Schmidt, Fabian Käufer, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Johannes DuBois, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Johannes DuBois, Paul Schmidt Fragen von Daniel, Michael, Jürgen, Arthur, Matthias, Julian, Andreas, Matthias, Henner, Daniel, Marco, Marc, Konstantin, Kai Taschner, Bliccer Musik: Das Lied „Happy Happy Games Show“ aus dem Intro und Outro dieser Episode stammt von Kevin MacLeod via incompetech.com, lizensiert unter Creative Commons Attribution.
