KARL’S GAME OF THE DAY – SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: REALITY BYTES
Karl’s made another game. This one’s a bit puzzling, as it’s got Cream in it but is also a bizarre combo of existing Sonic art with new bits stuck on top.
Karl, you’re too good to languish in the Sonic remake scene. Concentrate on your original in-house IP.
“The plot – Cream must save Sonic so that he can once again save Mobius. The only problem is that Sonic is trapped on a memory stick in the real world whilst Robotnik wreaks havoc. Featuring AMAZING DIGITISED GRAPHICS and a variety (well 2) of gameplay styles” – Karl.
It’s very, very hard. It reminds us of when mum had to come upstairs and ask us to stop us shouting “CUNT” very loudly when playing Green Beret on the Commodore 64.

Heh. Speaking of Green Beret on the 64 reminds me of the difficulty I (and friends) had with that game – one playing, the other on space bar duty for the flamethrower at the end of the level. The fact you had to save your special weapon in order to make it past the end level we always thought unfair.
And the same for Gryzor, with space bar for jump.
And me on space bar duty and not really paying attention as friend says “jump. Jump. JUMP! JUMP YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!”
This was on a portable tv in back room, right next to living room with parents in.
Not best impressed.
Please say this game doesn’t require someone else to do the jumping/extra weapon function for you…

“This game doesn’t require someone else to do the jumping/extra weapon function for you.”
That said, it is really hard. I make a video of myself completing it that I was going to upload my site to show people how to do it but HYPERCAM DIDN’T RECORD IT PROPERLY AARGH.

I bought Mario Kart for the Virtual Console the other day, and I was shouting “CUNT” at Luigi for hitting me while he was invincible for the hundredth fucking time.
I rang my mum up and put her on speaker so she could tell me off for shouting “CUNT” for the authentic childhood gaming experience.

Is Karl an actual autist? I would prefer to not have my UK:R experience sullied by fucking shit sprite-rip Game Maker games. Let’s hold our heads up high. We might love Sega, but we don’t need to sink to this new low.
In conclusion: wouldn’t

No, just someone who enjoys making games. But hey, you’re in luck, as I’m not making any more Sonic games so you won’t have your experience “sullied” any further.
P.S – I don’t tell Zorg what to put on his site ;)
P.P.S – You should watch your blood pressure. It’s not healthy to get so worked up.

I don’t know, I quite liked it. Sad no more back story games on the horizon :(

CUNT!
Cool, any excuse to shout my favourite word.

Jesus god, Green Beret. Now that was difficult. Remember those green kung fu bastards you started to get once you’d reached the hangars?

Most of the C64 games were total sods. I remember playing Hysteria loads and never, ever getting off the first level.
Oh, and some fucking sports game that required you to rock the joystick back and forth. I never beat the computer – I reckon it wasn’t possible.
I didn’t know the word “cunt” back then, sadly, so I had to make do with “fuck.” :(

“Joystick wagglers” is the technical term, and yes they were fucking awful, they put me off sports games for life.
