work continues on game rec pdf. have switched to indesign and after (sorta) getting to a UI that is still deeply alien to me, it's definitely gonna speed the whole workflow up. here's the freshest taste of the project, Road Trip Adventure rules

choro q mentioned

now playing: Cosmo Speed (Choro Q Wonderful!)

i heard something once about how Road Trip is a fairly poor racing game and an extremely true driving game and I love that description of it. long live the CaRPG.

the recommendation above is also really on point for what I love about Choro Q CaRPGs, in how they are "what if just an RPG but everyone was a car". like there are barely any contrived references to car parts as body analogues it's just like. yeah

the other thing that I love about Choro Q is that especially the Barnhouse Effect developed games have NPC names that are just total vibes of keyboard smashes. gedluna. charlanki. zeltaf. nyakki.

this year I expanded beyond what I knew of the Choro Q CaRPGs (HG2 and HG4, the ones released in the states) to enjoy some more in the genre (HG3, Works, and Wonderful - in Works you do construction work, get gym badges, and fight a demon lord!) and they're all fantastic. it's really interesting to feel the DNA of each developer in their works, as half of these are E-Game and half are Barnhouse Effect.

not to mention the "less RPG" Choro Q games - HG1 (pure racer, PS2), Perfect (turn-based racer that plays like a pool game, also an RPG, GBC), and Shin Combat (tank battler with a 3 hour campaign, PS2) - that I tried this year. there's just so much out there!

anyway does anyone want to watch cirno's perfect match class

seeing Fuel in the Related list is a trip; I never see that game mentioned anymore & never see it recommended ever, but it is 100% a fantastic game for dicking around by driving. I definitely didn't expect to feel that way twice in a row with the Tetris (CD-i) mention, whose soundtrack is my #1 Falling Asleep On A Plane/Train album. great page; I'm looking forward to the next one! :eggbug:

(edit: to be clear I am not going to bat for Fuel as being a good game, lol)

@spacetwinks11/14/2023, 10:29 PM

a big thing for me in assembling the pages and the 'IF YOU LIKE...' stuff is not avoiding games that might be considered 'bad'. Fuel hits that in particular, a lot of the actual experience ISN'T good, isn't smooth, but that doesn't necessarily matter if it hits something interesting in the brain or fulfills a specific desire. i've got Disaster Report on the to-do list, for example, which is fucking jank as hell, stiff and awkward, but man, who gives a shit, it sticks in your brain far better than many much smoother, more polished titles.

such a good game. i have to get around to HG3 (PAL) and HG4 sometime. tho honestly i'm overdue to just revisit Road Trip.

Yes yes yes, love this game. The only open-world driving game that I will acknowledge.

Hey, It's EV!?@ev-anarch11/15/2023, 3:12 PM

I love the presentation of this! Reminds me of the hours upon hours I'd spend as a youth flipping through gaming magazines, reading as much as I could about games I'd never play. Honestly didn't even realize I missed that.

Also Road Trip Adventure sounds dope, I wanna play it
