#retrobat

I'll start with my white computer. An Acer Aspire V13. Windows 8. I played on it at the beginning of the year. Then I took it to the dacha. And I played literally very little there.

I'll mention games: Quake 3, Colin McRae Rally 3, Doom 64. I played most of my games at the beginning of the year. While it was winter. On a winter weekend morning. Or on Saturday or Sunday evenings – I played all evening. I played racing games. Then, when I started studying, my focus on video games dropped. In favor of studying. Naturally, I'm studying computer technology. As Gosha says. And I love music. I took it up on that. But overall, it's playable. Especially if everything worked out.

Q3 is an online shooter. I ran around with bots. I even beat it on one or two easy difficulty levels. It was so much fun. The arenas are varied. Gothic and sci-fi. Different themes. Lots of bots. All different too. It's fun! I remember the game. It was so much fun. You run around the arena. The only thing is that I'm not that good at competitive games. And that's why I sometimes got tense. That I can't do it. My aim is lacking. Something else. I think slowly.

Then there's the racing game Colin Mc Rae Rally 3. It's a great race. It's different from the first and second games. It has a beautiful arcade menu. I remember it. And the tracks are different. Each track has several stages. Different weather. And there are different views. I played more for fun and relaxation. More like an arcade game. You drive and look at the views.

I remember that there was a track. Straight through the forest. There are trees. And sometimes it's even hard to tell where the road leads. Trees all around. In all sorts of corners of the world. A great time. So let's go for a spin. On a white computer. With a white keyboard. It's just beautiful. You just keep going and going somewhere. A couple of races at a time. You have to unlock tracks as you go. A very good racing game.

And this is Doom 64. The game surprisingly hooked me. It's a retro shooter. But modernized. Like, there are pixels. And everything is drawn from them. And the levels go on. Overall, this game is very different from what I've seen. This is Doom 1, 2. I thought it would be something similar. But it's completely different. Such cosmic horror. Real horror.

Creepy atmosphere. This is a very creepy little shooter. And well-made. Pixel graphics. It's style. Monsters, hellish ones. A rusty base. Dangling somewhere in space. Demons. Portals. And the levels are also terrible. They're not easy. You have to think about where to turn, what to press. Hellish riddles, really.

The palette is dark. I remember it as a reddish hue. I played through several levels. I was even surprised at myself. For me, the labyrinths there are quite confusing. It's not even about the monsters. That's it. And the labyrinth itself is a hellish riddle. And everything is so atmospheric. An abandoned station, silence. Monsters. And you have to figure out what to do next.

I played all of these, you could say, until the second half of spring. Then I started studying. I took the computer to the dacha in the summer. And I played little. There I played the first Heroes of Might and Magic. I launched Warcraft 3 for the first time. I tried other games. I played Need For Speed ​​2 SE, but not much.

Then we'll move on to the retro computer. The new product of 2025. I restored a retro laptop. And played on it. This is Iru Combo. I just restored it. And again, I played mostly until spring. I was playing Quake for Windows. That's the game version. I have a Windows 2000 computer. And I played without sound. I couldn't get the sound to work.

I played at 320x240. It's the creepiest setting. And I'd say Quake looks the creepiest and most horror-like game in this setting. Darkness and pixels. Rust and brown. That's the color palette.

I played through a few levels. I got lost in a few places at first. Then I breezed through a couple of levels. It's an interesting, creepy retro shooter at 320x240.

And on my modern Atlas H376 computer. I tried a theme called RetroBat for the first time. It's a bunch of consoles in a beautiful skin. Dendy, PlayStation. Dreamcast. Sega. I played it for a bit, just to get acquainted. I discovered a whole new universe, so to speak.

It didn't turn out that great. To be honest, it's true. But playing is fun. And the impressions. The gaming experience. Racing, a space base. Pixels, smooth graphics. All this will form the basis of personality and gaming experiences. For developing your own games. Probably. That's what I'd like to do. So playing is interesting! Computer games are fun! As John Lennon said, time spent enjoying yourself is not time wasted.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

First Silent Hill. I have heard about this for a long time. But, never take a decision to play it. Because of, there are, really, creepy depressive theme inside. Abandoned city. Fog. And console first Playstation by itself makes so creepy graphics. And, this scary double times. As, it is atmosphere in game, and it makes horrors so good to feel. As abandoned cities by Stephen King. Children of the corn. As, is it graphics of first Playstation is so creepy and very hard corners. And, this horror scary double times. Plus, such raw control. It is so feel of uncertain. Only this.

I have played only once. About 5 or 10 minutes. And, dive in the city with the fog. I entered the cafe. And, speak with someone. Looks like, maybe, it was policeman, police is here to check what is going on here. Something strange. I went, after, the corner. And, something creepy has happened. Some dog attacks. And, I cannot move forward.

Story starts with best tradition of Stephen King. You are walking the city. It is low of understanding. Just like children of the corn. And fog. And cafe. And you have entered. This is so casual. What is this place. It is, same time, it is casual and there is something to have fear about. With some reference to possible fear. Something is very wrong here. Wow, I am playing very first time with this first part. And, surprised about, how it is made everything here. Intro. Story. It is like a good horror movie.

It has very specific graphics. It is very good solution. Mainly, graphics with first Playstation is a point to like for lots of gamers. It is not like a standard template. And with its own graphic solutions. They are made because of system limitations. And these made graphic style. Visual part of the projects. And with modern consoles, it is looks like, graphic is same, almost the same.

So, these are my first five minutes of horror! For impressions. Well, maybe I would like to make something like this by myself. As walking the city with retro graphics. First Playstation shaders. But without monsters. As atmosphere. Fog and a city. Empty and creepy. This way Silent Hill, also, presents for sometime. You never know, will be monsters in a fog. I like this part of Silent Hill. Calm hill. With ghosts. Saying short, I played for impressions!
