And we've officially started VODs for 2020! Man it still baffles me how it can both feel like yesterday and at the same time forever ago that we played Monster Hunter World. I remember playing the original on our family PS2 decades ago using PlayStation Online to hunt Lao Shan Lung, to playing MHFU with my brother on our PSPs. The series has come a long way from the days of superman poses and room-based boss fights.

For the Western releases of Enduro Racer for the Master System Sega cut five of the original ten courses from the Japanese version and removed both the dirt bike image on the title screen and post-game map presenting the player's progress. ✂️

Why? 🤔

They wanted to fit the game onto a cheaper 128 kB ROM as opposed to the original 256 kB Japanese version. 🇯🇵 ⬇️ 🇺🇸🇪🇺

World Soccer, known as Great Soccer in the US, is a sports game for up to two players developed and published by Sega for the Master System. ⚽
The game offers both a penalty kick contest and regular matches. 🏟️

There are eight teams, representing different countries. One of them is Great Britain, although its constituent countries compete separately in the real world. 🇬🇧

There is a small list of Master System games that can't be played on the Power Base Converter using a Mega Drive controller due to slight differences in how the Mega Drive control pads operate. 🎮
In these cases a Mega Drive controller causes the wrong set of inputs to be selected and prevent the input from working properly. 🔀

One of these games is Wonder Boy in Monster Land...

Happy Friday! Today we have the second VOD for our #Kingdom playthroughs. All in all, I prefer Two Crowns, especially after returning to it years later. I wish there was more of an open sandbox version, but I'm assuming you'd just never leave the island, especially once you close the small portals.

Maybe I just like colony builders...

Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Master System offers some nice glitches caused by Sonic running to fast or being clipped into walls.

The first one already appears in the very first level of the game:
There is a steep slope with a ramp at the end the player can use to skip almost the entire act. By pressing up when mid-air Sonic will go off-screen and the camera will stop at the end of the act.

Fast forward a few months, and here we are around Christmas of 2019, trying out a game I had at this point only heard of, called #Kingdom, which is a 2D side-scrolling tower defense game. These were quite fun, actually! I've even picked them back up here and there on my #SteamDeck recently, they're such gorgeous games!

Alright, back on track. Apparently those last two were a bit out of order. No matter, we're back in #StardewValley one more time. Sadly there's a chunk of VODs from here until Christmas of 2019 that I seem to be missing, the next one up will be jumping over to a few new games before returning to some cozy #ModdedMinecraft with a familiar face...

Ok, I know we said we'd start on #ImmersiveEngineering last time but then we got a little sidetracked, ok? Some tornadoes came down and tossed some leaves into the ocean, it was a big deal. We do need to start focusing on progressing our tech, so let's jumps back into our #UnderdogModpack playthrough for some more cozy island living, shall we?
