198X

このゲームのような人を知っていますか?

概要

198Xは、単なるビートアップ、シューティング、レースゲーム、忍者ゲーム、RPGではありません。これは、アーケードゲームの黄金時代へのラブレターであり、しかも実際の1980年代にはありえなかったような広がりを持った作品です。ビデオゲームの世界で、自分自身と自信を見つける物語です。複数のゲームジャンル、世界観、キャラクターを通して描かれる青春物語。戦う、撃つ、走る、跳ぶ、ロールプレイングの感覚を、エモーショナルでシネマティックなストーリーテリングと一緒に感じてください。

そして、現実とゲームの境界線が曖昧になり始めた時、何が起こるのか...?

ストーリー

「このゲームの舞台は、198X年のある日、都会から少し離れた郊外です。無邪気な若者の限界と、避けられない大人の義務の狭間にいるティーンエイジャー、キッドの旅が描かれます。物語は、キッドが地元のゲームセンターを発見し、ビデオゲームに新しい世界と新しい意味を見出すところから展開します。ゲームセンターに通うたびに、ゲームを発見し、技を習得し、悪魔を倒すたびに、キッドは強くなっていく。そして、ゲームと現実の境界線が曖昧になり始める..."

198X does a fantastic job of breathing some life into genres of old, paying homage in a respectable, loving way while achieving an identity all of its own. For me there was no weak link in the gameplay and the storytelling moments kept me engaged and looking forward to the next bit of exposition. Hi-Bit Studios’ 198X is a short experience but one I’m glad I’ve had. Here’s hoping for future instalments to build upon this solid foundation.

This game hits home on so many levels, probably with more power the stronger your connection to the 80s is. If, like me, that's when you lostThis game hits home on so many levels, probably with more power the stronger your connection to the 80s is. If, like me, that's when you lost your video game virginity you're in for a real sweet journey. "Kid" will be your chaperone for the ride, guiding you from one classic 80s genre to the next. All interwoven in a beautifully narrated and illustrated coming of age tale. A bit generic perhaps, but my guess is that the developers want you to substitute Kid's story with your own. Just as you made the games from the 80s, often lacking in terms of plot, your own adventures.The first part of 198X ends way too soon, but not before leaving impressions that last for a lifetime. The graphics and music simply blew me away, adding infinite replay value. 8 Bit Studios have truly worked wonders with the 60K at their disposal (not 600K as falsely stated in a review below; the total pledged on Kickstarter is in Swedish currency). I do hope though that in the second part we'll be able to play more of each mini game, as they end as soon as you've gotten a feel for them. Perhaps Kid will eventually be able to roam freely around the arcade and we can set our own high scores.But for the first part, pour yourself a glass of wine, wait until the twilight hours and let Kid lead you through a night that blurs the lines between dream, game and reality.

198X is more of a short story than a video game. The game uses a series of 1980s-esque arcade games as a framing story for the coming-of-age198X is more of a short story than a video game. The game uses a series of 1980s-esque arcade games as a framing story for the coming-of-age story of the main character.There's a major problem, though: the story is boring, generic, and bland. A 1980s teenager plays at the arcade and dreams about going to the big city, and uses video games as escapism after their father leaves. The end.The story itself is incomplete (shock and surprise, given that this is supposedly an episodic game), but what is here isn't something that makes me compelled to play the other episodes. I don’t care about the main character (and they have no real personality beyond “generic 1980s teenager”) and I don’t care about the story. So what is there?The gameplay certainly isn’t going to hold it up; the games are very simple and not terribly challenging (which makes sense) but without the story being fun, there’s really nothing here.I managed to complete the whole piece in about an hour, and at the end of it, was left thinking “Is that it?”Bad as a game and bad as a story, there's really nothing here.

I really enjoyed 198X, or at least the first instalment of it so far. Make no mistake, it's relatively short and not everyone's cup of tea.I really enjoyed 198X, or at least the first instalment of it so far. Make no mistake, it's relatively short and not everyone's cup of tea. It's a nostalgia trip, and if you don't share that childhood then you'll probably either love it for the art, or hate it because it's pointless to you.I grabbed a bottle of coke from the fridge, turned off the lights, sank into my comfy chair, and got into the experience. Because that's what 198X ultimately is, it's modern love for retro arcade games, with a little bit of a story wrapped around it.Difficulty: I thought that it was just right, but I can acknowledge that some people will find it too easy or too hard - there's no difficulty settings. If it's too hard for you then you need to keep trying and git gud. That's what I did and it was satisfying, albeit frustrating for a while. If you find it too easy then the game will be very short.The game's interface is minimal, that's deliberate. It's just like dropping a coin into the machine and getting on the controls.So, the graphics are excellent, as is the music. The retro aesthetic is beautiful and spot-on for the developers' creative vision. The gameplay is tight and the controls feel perfect. If that sounds like your kinda jam, you will probably really enjoy 198X.

A Fun game with great art style.What attracted me the most to support this game is the Art, the 16-bit art style is my favorite. I love arcade games and 198x has a plot revolving around arcades which is attractive to me. Then i heard Yuzo Koshiro will make music for the game i got super excited , but i was very disappointed with the ninja levels that have Koshiro’s music in them, the music is great but the gameplay on those levels is very disappointing. It is like a mobile run game. It didn’t give arcade experience like expected. The kid in the game is talking about his arcade experience but he is playing a mobile game. I wish part 2 of the game will give a true arcade adventure experience.
