Smartass.
Doing that results in moonrune gibberish and "Earth Self Defence Force 2" pretext. Googling that gives EDF instead.
Goggle also suggests it is made by Artdink, but I quicksearhced all their listed games and found nothing similar.

Great idea, thanks for making this thread! I love the Dreamcast's UI and the general aesthetic of Sega at that time. I've been obsessively going through youtube videos of various Dreamcast menus to use them as inspiration for the UI of a game I'm making. Gonna dump a few pictures here.

Believe it or not that's what I use, but if I was to spoonfeed a retard like this he would probably say something stupid like "I don't use chrome what do I do now pls help".

I gave him the answer, he found the answer and still complains, so imagine the cognitive overload it would be if I showed him that.

Sega was really into clouds and water around this time.

This menu just screams '90s to me. The bright primary colors, the shiny faux-3D buttons. Something about the font too, though I don't quite have an expansive enough design vocabulary to express why. Something about the fact that it's just a very basic, bold sans-serif font (except for the word "Sonic") that sort of clashes with the extravagance of the rest of the look and feel.

It's hard to imagine any game looking like this today.

You're being a dick.
I can't find it either. I don't even know what part of those moonrunes is the title. It seems there are a few games in the serie or it has alternative titles or fuck knows what. Googling "far side of the moon" which seems to pup up a lot isn't helpful either.
If I had the title I could at least check if there were any translations because I'm obviously not interested in a game in japanese.

I honestly can't fathom how you're willing to write all that junk but aren't willing to scroll down in google past the two first links. Not only the title of the game is already in the image itself, and the guy already said the name of the game.

This is the fourth link if you reverse image search it.

No, the game isn't in English.

Between the neat 16-colors Artdink UIs and the stylish Bitmap Brothers pixel art, we have some of the best interfaces.

Am I the only one to think UIs from the late 90s on, using prerendered assets or abusing Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro effects were a step down? I mean HoMM4, Dune 2000, Master of Orion 2 or X-Com Apocalypse, compared to previous games in their series.

Anyway, here's one of my comfy ones.

this is actually true. Old games run with 256 colors, the exact same amount a gif can store. So screenshots of old games like ms dos or pc engine should be saved as gif, because it is losless as long as it is not animated. Usually animations don't have more than 256 colors either. But if the sequence changes like from animation to gameplay the gamepalette can change, and thus you have to store more than 256 colors.

Looting was tedious. Items dropping in piles of goo was a mistake. Looting dropped items was a nightmare. Waiting for opening/closing animations is a bore. Having to unintuitively steal from your companions to manage their inventory, not really being able to manage them at all in the first game. Broken quests, broken cutscenes. If the quest isn't completely broken you have to do something special to turn it on the right way. Thinking that your ac means anything because it's a number that goes up with better armor

Nah. If you fixed all this bullshit it wouldn't be fallout. It would be a lot better but a lot shorter.

Rendering the game at the full resolution would slow it to a crawl. A large interface allowed the full screen to be used without suffering frame loss while being extremely stylish.

I would rather have a smooth but short game than a long one filled with tedium and huge amounts of not playing the game. Pic related can be cleared in 3-4 hours on a first run but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Meanwhile in Fallout the fact it ran at a snail's pace made it a chore to play. A remake based on the Jagged Alliance 2 engine would probably be really nice.

>> No.4467664

Agreed, but looking at the series, horrible inventory management and tedious looting seem to be cornerstones of gameplay, especially in 3 nv and 4.

Tactics was the best inventory and i still found myself wanting favorite/loadouts for mynswuad members so they always get x stimpacks y reloads z sidearm, etc...

It was a common technique to render only objects that moved between frames, so the larger static area you had, the lighter was the CPU load. And making VN's artworks smaller allowed for less discs.

Despite the menu, Night Slave is one of the few PC-98 games that feature a full-screen gameplay

>>4466939
And to Innocent Tour's defence, it's a board-game RPG, so you'll rely more on the board's map than on your character's zoomed area for gameplay.
