Bubsy is a fairly standard (if a bit difficult) SNES platformer. There's also a fairly vocal segment of the SNES community that really hates this game, for a reason I don't quite understand. Apparently it had something to do with pre-release hype, but I bought this game used from a rental store a couple years after it came out so that never affected me. I've always kind of liked it.

At any rate, this video was a nightmare to record. It all started because the emulator I usually use doesn't run this game, so I had to use a new one. The first two times I attempted the record a video, the video itself desynced, and then even after I got one that worked, the sound didn't sync properly. Upon re-uploading this to youtube, I've fixed the sound sync, so it finally sounds as it ought to.

In spite of my frustration of having to re-record my video so many times, the run is greatly improved by it. The first time I just barely squeaked by, but with all this extra practice the run you see here totally dominates the game. There's a lot more polish here than on most of my videos - this is me at my best.

Besides, I worked really hard to get this one to work.

Almost there

Well, I did have a new video (which I spent most of the night recording), but I found that during the playback the movie becomes desynchronized and thus all of my work is probably for nothing.

It's not terribly surprising, I had to use a different emulator because the emulator I usually use doesn't support this game, and it looks like this emulator's movie recording is simply buggy.

I'll try the convert one more time in case it was a freak accident, but I suspect this is going to mean no update for at least another week (and this particular game may not be uploaded at all, unless the other emulator decides to support it).


Update:

After re-recording the video 2 more times (my run has substantially improved in the progress), I have managed to record a run that doesn't desync. Unfortunately, my efforts to encode it have so far resulted in severe audio desync. I'm trying a different method now, hopefully it will yield slightly better results.


Yet another update:

Okay, I captured the video using a straight screen capture. This provides much better results, the audio still gets a little slow near the end but it's not by that much and it's probably the best it's going to get.

The problem? Google video is down right now. I'll upload the video when I can.


Final update:

It's finally back. Video is now uploaded.

Continuing my quest to bring you a wide variety of games, here's Battle Dodgeball.

Battle Dodgeball is basically the same as the game "Super Dodgeball", except with Gundams instead of Kunio and friends.

This is a pretty short video because I figured it would get repetative to watch after a while.

Oh, it just occurs to me that this is my 20th video. Maybe I should have done something a little more notable. Oh well, maybe for 25. Or maybe I'll forget again.

Here's a video of one of my old favourites, Penny Racers. It's part of the Choro Q series, though this game is a bit of an oddball in the franchise in that it plays a lot like Mario Kart.

I re-recorded this video for youtube because I had originally recorded it using an emulator, and this game doesn't exactly play easily using digital controls. This is authentic gameplay now, and the sound stays synced, too.

It was pretty hard to re-record, though, I failed this run like 10 times before I finally got this.
