Pnickies is not a bad little puzzle game, but I do wish the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium collection featured online play, because I bet this would be fun to play head to head.

I was going to finish it tonight but, um, things happened.

It’s missing the chains and four wings, but it’s Stellar dressed up as a demon from Pnickies, Compile’s obscure vs puzzler published by Capcom. I think it got included in one of the recent compilations.

Day 11 :  Callus

Hello ladies and gentlemen to Day 11 of the daily blog challenge for the month of January. If you want to play arcade games of course the obvious choice is MAME.  However before it became the be all and end all of Arcade emulation.  Various emulators did certain types of arcade board.  Some still exist like Raine but many were forgotten about.

One of my favourite non MAME emulators was Callus which was a DOS based CPS 1 and 2 arcade board emulator written by Bloodlust Software.

It managed to run various games that even MAME took a while to completely get working well.

Here are games I played in Callus long before MAME covered them

Obviously all these games are from Capcom

5. Strider

Strider was released in 1989.  It’s a hack and slash platformer based in a dystopian future.

The game is brutally unforgiving but once you get used to it is an absolutely amazing game with fantastic graphics.

I would love to say I got far in the actual game but it never ceases to amaze me how pretty this game is.

4. Willow

Willow was released in 1989.  This is the arcade game based on the Lucas Film of the same name.

The evil witch queen Bavmorda is after the holy baby of the lands, Elora Danan, intent on destroying her. A young peaceful wizard called Willow Ufgood was selected to protect Elora. Later on, a brave warrior named Madmartigan joins Willow to fight the enemy rival General Kael.

So primarily this game is a side scrolling platform game in which you take control of Willow, how ever in a later stage you do get to control Madmartigan.

This game is far from easy but it is worthwhile to play.

3.  Ghouls and Ghosts (Daimkaimura)

Released in 1989.  I think this is one of the most recognised games from Capcom beyond Street Fighter II.

You play Arthur who must recover his girlfriend Prin-Prin from a demon.  This is probably one of the most unforgiving games out there but if you manage to master your way through the levels.

It is an amazing game.  However very difficult to master.

2.  Pnickies

Pnickies is a Japan only game released in 1994.

The game is very similar to Puyo Puyo (from Taito) and it plays very similar.  However in order to remove the bubbles you need a star block on either end of the bubble setup.

You can build large chain bubbles and the idea is you keep playing until you run out of space.  Or there is another mode where you can play against an opponent and it gives you blocks you don’t want.

It’s a strange but definitely fun game once you get used to it.

1.  Knights of the Round

KOTR was released in 1991 and is a beat em up based roughly around the Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table.  If you have played any of these games they were were much built on the Final Fight engine.

You move from Stage to stage.  Controlling one of the three characters of Arthur. Percival or Lancelot.  As you play you can level up your characters giving them better armour and stronger attacks.

This is one of the few games I actually completed using Callus.

What I love about Callus is every time you insert a coin it gives you a running total of how much you have spent.

It took a while to compile a virtual full list of ROMs but my Callus collection is pretty much complete.

i kinda want to code a pnickies remake next

I feel like I could use most of the knowledge i’ve gathered from my tetris game’s block system and I could have a chance to throw in cuter art this way

in fact I even have two characters in mind which could be fit for main-character-cameos of some sorts lmao

my son is doing well i heard the crimewave might have a feature on his next tape

Don't Get Panicky , but be careful ! That is the crux of the situation about COVID-19 !

Don’t Get Panicky , but be careful ! That is the crux of the situation about COVID-19 !

That’s what it does mean! When we become Pnicky, our Immunity suffers setbacks ! So come what may, I will Fight the Virus unto the Last! Such valiant should be the attitude. But we should be ‘careful’ in the first place so that we’re not affected by it. The guidelines should be followed properly so that we do not give the Virus extra leverage to spread fast! Each and everyone of us is important…

Dr. Advanced Wargroove: Orcs and Humans

Two days ago, this trailer was released for Wargroove, a new turn-based strategy game for Switch (and other platforms, but whatever). I, like so many others, lost my shit, since it looks incredibly good and I am fucking starved for more Advance Wars. And, let's not kid ourselves: Wargroove is Advance Wars in everything by name, according to the trailer.

Yet, being okay with this, made me wonder

Why the fuck am I okay with this being a complete rip-off?

It might be a bit harsh, but I think the developers can handle it. They're making a fantastic looking game that everyone will love. My question above, is really: Why is it sometimes okay to be a blatant rip-off, and sometimes the worst thing ever? Oceanhorn is obviously a rip-off of Zelda, but in that case it makes me go "yuck!".

There might be several factors, including randomness. Sometimes effort shines through. The original real-time strategy game was Dune 2 and being the first, invented a new game genre. Yet for some reason, two years passed before Blizzard released Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, which, by definition almost, had to be considered a rip-off. What probably made a lot of people forgive W1, was that in that age, being a rip-off took a huge amount of effort, and W1 is such a better experience to play, that there almost isn't even a comparison to make.

Tile-matching puzzle games too, are a genre rife with rip-offs, and yet some titles are totally forgiven. Dr. Mario shares a playing-field setting with Tetris, but the mechanics of playing it and the aesthetics make it quite different, and saying it was Tetris-like seems like more of a description short-hand than a criticism. Puyo Puyo built on the Dr. Mario mechanics, and based the success of Street Fighter 2, decided the correct way to differentiate itself, was to as visually appealing as SF2, but with the gameplay of Dr. Mario. It's been so popular over the years, that games seem to have to show how they're not just Puyo Puyo rip-offs, even though that itself isn't even that original.

Trying to figure out where some game draws its inspirations form can also lead to embarrassment. Raining Blobs by... Raining Blobs (Really?), initially made me think of it as yet another Puyo Puyo, but speaking to the creator, I became aware of Pnickies, the far less known Compile (creator of Puyo Puyo) game that Raining Blobs had gotten its mechanics from. Suddenly social situations became a factor in the idea of when something is a rip-off: Some games are hard or impossible to play in certain parts of the world, and Compile were never good at getting their games to the Balkans. If Raining Blobs (the creators, not the game) wanted that sort of gameplay as Puyo Puyo or Pnickies might have, making it themselves was a decent course of action. Raining Blobs (the game, not the creator) by the way, is really good. Like, amazingly tight and stuffed with content and kawaii shoujo.

So Wargroove? I want it to be the Fantasy Wars to Advance Wars, that Warcraft: Orcs and Humans was to Dune 2. Even if it isn't though, I guess I don't care in this case. It looks great, and Intelligent Systems sure aren't fulfilling my needs right now.
