Medal of Honor (which I posted a few screenshots of a few days ago) had the modern standard dual analog control scheme in it a year prior to Alien Resurrection, and you could techincally use two N64 controllers to play GoldenEye that way, but Halo, due to its popularity certainly cemented it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I've only played a bit, it's got a great atmosphere and one of the earliest examples of the dual analog control scheme and also has support for the Playstation Mouse so I might try to emulate all that and play through it one day.
And thanks for the kind words!

A high tech wall with neon-green high tech monitors and yellow lights under an upper floor terrace with a beautiful view at even more dark walls and creepy hallways. Not much more to say here, I just wanted to show the beautiful art direction and texture work of this game, it's just a joy to walk around and look at all the gritty detail, especially if you're into chunky polygons and unfiltered pixelated textures, yummmm!

A lil' alien guy got scared of the fireworks outside so he jumped and is clinging to the ceiling with its long long tail hanging all the way down to the floor, thinking it's completely hidden and undetectable, the adorable little dumbass.

A security officer failing at his job, dozing off at his desk and managing to vom all over himself (his chest has burstd but it kinda looks like he made a doodoo). Two xenomorph eggs are just chilling near the useless guard, symbolizing the balls he lost when he decided to take this job and sell his soul to the corpo overlords.

It's the newborn human-xenomorph hybrid, gingerly walking about with the dopiest Nicholas Lyndhurst face and skin so pale it rivals the most extreme incel-heralded "prettier women for Skyrim" mods.

Lt. Ellen Ripley (or rather her clone) walking through the dark and moody halls of the USM Auriga with dark brownish-grey walls with many gratings and greeble, sparsely lit by the yellow gamer-centric Razer Chroma lights carefully aligned around the bulkhead door passageways. We perceive the game from the first person POV of the Ripley clone, with gun in hand and looking at a crew member lying motionless on the floor, probably exhausted from all the gaming and forgetting to take their fluids. Don't forget to hydrate folks!

A ship security officer wearing a full green uniform and cap with the emblem of the USM Auriga (it's really hard to tell due to how low res it is but if you google the logo it matches, neat!), looking very faceless in that anime sort of way when the guy who is usually a pervert just has like shadow blobs for the eyes. He's got very blocky hands so the gun that he's shoving in your face kinda floats next to his hands, maybe he's got magnets for hands, I don't know how the future works. Curiously, a dead colleague of his is lying on the floor and is slowly phasing out of existence, probably because he's no longer useful to the corporation and might as well peace out into the void.

One of the engineering or medical tech guys I can't remember, wearing a pale-green uniform, looking deep in though, hand under chin, kinda creepy, very "hmm hmm, yeees yeees". He might be the doctor played by Brad Dourif, it kinda looks like him so the creepy look fits well!

A genuine xenomoprh fellow, swinging its arms and donning its signature smile, doing a swell ragtime dance singing "Hello, ma baby! Hello ma honey! Hello ma ragtime gal!"

Regina holding out the gun-shaped treats to another velociraptor, but they're unfortunately separated by a high-tech red laser fence so the dino keeps bumping into the lasers and gets zapped, just like a cat bumping into a window and still not being any wiser for it.

Regina and her team leader Gail, a slick white haired daddy that's all serious all the time. Regina is standing up, looking heroic, her gun in front, aiming it at absolutely nothing but looking pretty cool, while Gail is kneeling beside her, looking kinda perplexed at her utter disregard for the situation they're in because...

...they're both standing next to the mangled corpse of a man, missing most of his arms and lower body with a huge pool of guts and blood on the floor. Gail is saddened and horrified by the sight and can't believe Regina is still standing next to him, posing for her hero shot, so he decides to...

...tell Regina to take five and step out of the building, so she's just standing there in front of the entrance of a fancy corporate building at night, lit by spotlights from the ground, as she's doing her signature hand-on-hip stance, feeling annoyed for being treated as a child.

A hero shot of Regina, our redhead hero standing in front of a chain-link fence with a very clear stripy yellow and black emergency sign, but she's not having any of it, looking all cool and unfazed, hand on hip, ready to kick some ass.

Regina, upon entering an office hallway, has encountered a cute pet velociraptor that's looking at her with curious amazement, with mouth agape. She's reaching out with her right hand with a curiously realistic looking gun-shaped treat for the hungry dinosaur, trying to feed him and possibly give some head pats and scritches later.

The treats were so good that the hungry velociraptor kept asking for more and Regina naturally couldn't say no to cute animals so now we see a top down view of the dino lying down in a pool of reddish caramel goodness from all the sweets it's eaten, just snoozing in its own filth from having overindulged. Regina is next to him, looking all "oh you silly billy!"

We see Rick, the techy hacker of the group, sporting a man bun and sitting at a large terminal with multiple keyboards and screens, showing the very same camera angles you've been seeing while playing the game. Is he the mastermind of this whole shebang, working behind the scenes like the Shiba Inu dog endings in Silent Hill?

Al visiting a weapons shop that's stacked with swords, shields and lots of potions and jars on the shelves. He's greeted by ye olde shopkeeper, an old man wearing a blue shirt and orange vest, looking very much like your regular Cabela's employee with his huntin' vest and low low shotgun prices.

A dimly lit dungeon occupied by a fairly large stone golem. It's kinda hard to see but it looks like he's got big, good, strong hands (that's a Neverending Story reference) with golden ornaments and almost like a hoodie made of stone with said ornaments. It's like what if Mother Theresa was a 10ft giant golem monster, I think that's an accurate description?

The open fields of excitement and adventure! Al is running around, slicing the most nefarious of enemies, the common slime blob! This is a group of three, more commonly know as a splatter of slimes.

Visiting a nearby village, we see Al, after breaking into every private household and stealing their shit, standing in someone's muddy backyard as they're hoe farming (get your mind out of the gutter).

Our hero, Al Ted (that's AL TED, not a TED talk about A.I.) standing on a small patch of grass and dirt under beautiful blue skies with puffy white clouds, it looks like a wonderful day. He's standing in front of a large building, possibly an inn with a big double door entrance and a sign above it written in some kind of almost readable language either spelling out "UNCLE BORING" or "UNCLE DOPING", two very opposing statements about this mysterious uncle.

An old white bearded wizard wearing a black cloak and hat and wielding a large staff with a cyan crystal on top (you know what they say about wizards with large staves...) He's sitting down on the floor, leaning back to a huge rock wall, looking a bit bummed out giving you a salute and not looking too interested. Oh hang on a minute, do you think this might be the famous Uncle Boring I've heard so much about?

A large underground dungeon chamber with ornate walls and a huge doorway leading into darkness. Our peppy hero Al is standing in front of a small altar with a crystal on top of it, waiting for a floating platform to arrive so he can jump on it. The point of view is from the platform itself, just to get a sense of what it feels like to be a floating platform, going back and forth and having to endure endless strangers standing on your head and jumping across without even saying a "thank you". Eh, it's a living!

Al being pulled over at the entrance of a Medieval Times by two pigs just because you're a nerd dressed like you're going to a ren faire. ACAB!

Wow, this post really blew up, thanks Pepsiman!

Hi and welcome to all the new followers! I'm Max, reluctant artist, even more reluctant streamer and big fan of old games, jaggy polygons and blocky textures.

Thanks for all the follows, reposts and comments, means a lot, so stay awhile and have fun!

That would've been funny but yeah it was sold as a retail game, and sold in Japan only as well.

I wholeheartedly agree and I appreciate your descriptive alt text as well!

It does feel like it's lower stakes and a nice treat for anyone reading it and it's not always easy thinking of things to write so I think my alt texts vary wildly in tone but if people enjoy it I'm good with it. :)
Thanks!

It does look like a "Saturn devouring his own son" sort of deal.
Unfortunately, I think it just might be that she's drinking a Pepsi from a cup with a straw, though I like your interpretation better.

Oh I didn't know that, that's awesome!

Indeed! Fighting Vipers is on the list of upcoming screenshots at some point so we might see Pepsiman in glorious high resolution yet again! ;)

It begins with former AHL player Mike Butters hearing the Pepsiman theme every time he takes a sip, and as he gazes deep into the can hole we enter the world of Pepsiman.
4 levels of Pepsiman helping quench the thirst of someone in need, finally fixing the Pepsi City computer and preventing a riot.

The alt text is my secret safe space for flexing my (almost non-existent) creative writing aspirations. It's almost like improv, trying to weave a story from these almost unrelated screenshots, just to write anything that will make my black void of a heart have a good chuckle.
Thanks so much! 💖

Pepsiman standing outside a lovely cafe, in front of a Pepsi vending machine, with hands on hips looking all heroic, seriously contemplating buying a can of Pepsi and drinking it, which in his case is filled with the very lifeblood that runs through his Pepsi veins, so it's closer to Pepsiman drinking his own blood, or at the very least his very own piss.

A badass biker that's a spitting image of Tony Clifton has heroically blocked an Arizona desert highway with his Harley hog, trying to stop the menace that is Pepsiman from conquering the roads. Little does he know that Pepsiman, in his Pepsi-fueled frenzy, can easily jump over most obstacles and also isn't squeamish about running right through people if the situation demands it.

A "what if" scenario made by your humble screenshot taker (i.e. me 👀), contemplating what the Pepsiman game would look like from a modern, third-person, over the shoulder camera view, running through a big city crossroad with Pepsi trucks stopped in the middle of the road and Pepsi commercials and billboards covering almost every inch of the city. "This is what heaven must look like", thought the scientist that came in contact with "Holy Pepsi" and transformed into the "superhero" Pepsiman (it's the actual origin story of the character). "All shall drink the water of my body, and everyone shall rejoice", bringing an unnerving smile to his featureless face, knowing that even little Timmy playing this videogame will drink his Pepsi blood and/or piss.

Pepsiman heroically standing in front of a crowd of pixelated people and a couple of Pepsi vending machines while everyone is clapping, saluting and loosing their minds at the sight of their hero and savior, Pepsi-Jesus.

Pepsiman, a chromedome monstrosity covered in Pepsi Silver and Pepsi Blue colors, running down a lovely suburban street, chasing down a garbage truck that's dropping cans of Pepsi, because garbage Pepsi is the only thing Pepsiman can drink to get any sliver of enjoyment anymore. Pepsiman is a freak. A jolly pixel-drawn person is crossing the street just next to Pepsiman, and they're just smiling and having a good time while walking in their flip-flops, not even noticing the corporate entity demon running beside them.

Pepsiman entering a cozy private family home, essentially trespassing, lying on his knees and smelling the turquoise floor carpet because, again, Pepsiman is a freak. A pixelated lady (presumably the owner of the house) stands in the kitchen while holding a tray of food and beverage, just beyond the doorway where Pepsiman is being a pervert, looking very confused at the weirdo that's just lying there on the floor of her home, contemplating the nearest route to the telephone (it's the 90s, they have a landline).

Pepsiman in his most dangerous and greatest existential and physical situation yet, being chased down the street by a giant rolling can of Pepsi that's just crushing everything in its path, getting ever closer to its prey. Imagine if Pepsiman just looked like a regular person, then the Pepsi can would just be a giant human head that looked like the person that it's chasing. THAT'S the kind of horror Pepsiman is facing right now.

A beautiful dusk light has fallen on the city, symbolizing its downfall and upcoming doom, with a burning drum barrel and a person that's clearly lost all sense of decency and self-respect, kneeling on the pavement with a empty smile on their face, raising a sign above their head that says "GIVE ME PEPSI". "It's too late for them" think the couple standing further down the street, looking at this unfortunate soul, knowing deep down that they'll succumb to the madness soon enough.

It's even funnier because Spielberg was heavily involved with the production of Medal of Honor so the name of the velociraptor is Steven.

Absolutely agree, I love both games but MDK is very special and near and dear to my heart.

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I love the idea of high poly low res so I might do something like that in the future (posting these daily screenshots so far is as much as I can handle right now) and I encourage others to give it a shot, so thank you very much for the kind words and suggestions!

I never played it back in the day but playing it a bit now while taking the screenshots and I can completely agree, it's surprising how good it controls and feels to play!

Hahah, I'm sure someone's doing it or will do it at some point. Especially love the idea of playing modern games on a CRT at low res so looking forward to @zoviazzg.bsky.social doing the Demon's Souls CRT series!

An SS officer with a couple of goons standing near a crashed Cessna airplane at night, looking suspiciously guilty that he might've been the incompetent buffoon that crashed said plane.

A quiet night on a small town street, lit by lantern light, with two strangers walking past, looking into each other's eyes, wondering if love can indeed bloom even on a battlefield.

A French wine cellar, a big wine barrel and a drunk git lying hammered right next to it.

Showing your passport to an SS officer but unfortunately, like most nazis, he's illiterate and an idiot so I think it's time to take out the other passport that has a gun and some bullets in it.

The ideal specimen of the fascist übermensch - a dopey, clueless idiot wearing a helmet that's too big for his head and a diarrhea sprayed brown uniform. He's walking through some bushes and is about to be fragged.

A nazi soldier trying to take a shot at you while also completely scaring the bejesus out of the SS officer next to him who's kinda jumped from the noise but is trying to cover it by making it looks like he's doing a Fortnite dance. They're both standing in front of a dingy tank, just parked there in the middle of the town street.

A puppy dog pup pup jumping at you with its paws reaching out for a hug! It's got red demon eyes but is really a sweetheart and just wants to cuddle. 💖

One of the decisive battles of World War II, the standoff between William Shakespeare with a gun and a velociraptor with a bazooka near Dubuisson, France, 1944, depicted beautifully with a multiplayer split-screen view.

Take care ♥

The Starski approaching a friendly Atlas Freighter mothership. It almost looks like a big steel whale made out of smaller and smaller cuboid (biggest for the front, then smaller etc.) with some spikes sticking out on the top and bottom. It's painted in a brownish-orange and gray colors, covered in small greeble details, lights and doodads, its surface almost looking like a printed circuit board. It's got like 4 USB ports on its side and everything!

The C3 Cougar just shooting the crap out of some enemy Wyvern fighters which is already letting out a lot of sparks and explosions. Not looking good for that guy! There's a beautiful light blue planet just behind the exploding spaceship, looking nice and calm and completely uninterested in the ongoing battle, as most planets do.

Doing a close call flyby near a large gray space station made out of multiple saucer-like sections and interconnected cylinders and bridges while trying to take down a bunch of Broadsword Gunships in the distance.

A close flyby near a Salamander Warship, a large, almost shark-like looking ship with a round front and a bunch of spiky "fins" sticking out and a Klingon-looking red logo on the major top fin. The player (i.e. me 👀) is taking a few shots into empty space near the ship but there's a visible explosion and the words "Alert - friendly ship hit" appearing at the top of the screen. Whoops!

Blast Radius (PS1) (1998)

The Starski Gruv-77 fighter ship, doing a dizzying spin maneuver just to show off the cool vector speed lines across the starry expanse of space. It has a peculiar design, shaped like a sideways 8 or the infinity sign with the bulk of the body and cockpit in the middle and hefty rectangular engines on either ends, with a reddish-orange paintjob.

The ship select screen, this time showcasing the C3 Cougar, the more mature and sexy ship of the group, with its sleek design, two protruding spikes on each side of the cockpit and long vertical fins on either ends, with silver and blue decals, making it look almost like a racing ship from Wipeout.

A third-person outside view of the Starski, flying through space as it often does with a beautiful chunky pixelated Earth-like planet nearby.

The C3 Cougar initiating a flyby near a large enemy Harbinger carrier, a big green mothership that looks like a Chris Foss attempt at an Imperial Star Destroyer with brighter and darker green stripes on its surface. Despite its size, it's actually not that difficult to destroy and you'll be doing that quite a bit during the campaign.
