Chocobo foi depenado pelo charged X-Buster e fica numa situação difícil com apenas 1 ponto no grupo. Megaman X, por sua vez, já garante sua ida para as oitavas. Já temos o primeiro personagem fora da copa, o poderoso Sephiroth, mostrando mais uma vez que esse esse tipo de competição não é o forte dele. Mai sobe a quatro pontos e está bem próxima da classificação.

Goomba caminhou de um lado para o outro mas não conseguiu evitar a fúria do gorila, que entrou realmente para ganhar e assumiu a liderança do Grupo B. Arthur voltou a empatar e deixou Elric na lanterna, mas todos ainda tem chance aqui.

E agora, jogos dos grupos C e D:

O líder Ryu recebe o bloco, que vem de empate, será que o street fighter garante a vaga ou o bloco vai buscar esses pontinhos e entra de vez na briga? Na sequencia, o jogo dos líderes do D Alex e Fox, quem ganhar praticamente garante a passagem para as oitavas, o último jogo é de vida ou morte para um dos dois, Peach ou Chain Chomp.

Agora é com vocês!

Resultados idênticos nos dois grupos, Chocobo empatando com Mai enquanto X descarregou seu buster em Zé Phiroth e venceu bem, assumindo a liderança do Grupo A. Na sequencia vimos o aparentemente frágil Goomba detonar outro novato, Edward Elric, e assumir a liderança do Grupo B, com o empate de Arthur e DK.

Jogos de hoje:

Estréia hoje o Grupo C, um dos mais fortes da competição, com Ryu encarando Goku logo de cara, e o perigoso bloco de Tetris caindo de frente com Cloud. Para completar, Alex Kidd estréia no grupo dominado por personagens da Nintendo, contra o faminto Chain Chomp. na última partida do dia, Fox McCloud contra a Princesa mais sequestrada do mundo dos games, esperamos que ela não seja capturada e compareça ao jogo.

Alex Kidd In Miracle World holds a place close to my heart as one of the first games I played. It was built into my brothers Master system II and we would all spend many an hour trying to get to the next level, only to have our last life cruely snatched away at the last moment, making us start again. I remember one time when we got further than we ever had before, but unfortunately as the night drew near we ended up keeping in on pause till the next day so we could carry on Alex's quest t save the land from Evil King Janken.

Now, fifteen years later I've been given the chance to delve into the world of Alex Kidd once again thanks to the Wii's virtual console feature, but how does it stand up to my fond childhood memories?

After a few minutes of watching Mario run around in circles collecting coins my game was finally downloaded and so it came time to play. Upon hitting the start button I was presented with the garishly yellow title screen and jaunty tune I had grown to love. Then it was onto the first level I have played so many times as I jump down the cliffs punching pterodactyl type things and collecting money bags. One thing I noticed though was the controls seemed alot more sensitive and slidey than i remembered. erhaps this was due to games getting the control schemes better due the the years, or the fact that the Master Systems control pad was so sticky that slidy controls were needed to make the game playable, but after a few minutes I found myself getting used to the controls. After that I felt at home jumping around puching blocks, thinking normal places looked odd and then remembering the secret/impending doom hidden inside of them. The smiles kept on coming as I fell into the ocean and the music changed to another of its limited sound set, which brings me to another gripe. I can't remember underwater sections being this dodgy to control either, as you need to hold down to move down or you float back to the top. Anyway, it didn't take me long to get the hang of things and soon I came across my first boss.

Alex Kidd broke away from the tradition of game bosses. Theres no punching, no jumping on heads, no hitting an axe the the end of a bridge. Instead you have to play the old classic of Janken (Rock, Paper, Scissors). It's a game to the death with two out of three taking the crown. My mind started racing back trying to remember the tricks to working out what they were going to play and before soon "stone head" turned into a rice ball and I could pass.

I am thuroughly enjoying playing this classic once again and can't wait to play some more. The only problem is that i'm stuck at the same place as I was all those years ago, but due to my greater gaming experience i'm sure I will eventually be able to conquer the game and claim my crown. I highly reccomend you pick this up and at 500 points its a steal.

Je suis d'humeur guillerette avec la reprise, excusez le jeu de mot facile (je sortirais bien mais après il n'y aurait plus personne pour écrire cet article ;-) !

Mais de quoi il parle ?
D'émulation bien sur ! Qui n'a jamais rêvé d'entendre à nouveau cette douce musique ? De revoir une fois de plus cet écran de présentation si évolué ?

1986, quelle belle année ! Plus de vingts ans plus tard, Alex est toujours là, grâce à Osmose notamment.

Osmose
Osmose est un logiciel permettant d'émuler la Séga Master System, c'est à dire de vous permettre de jouer à vos jeux préférés (je crois apercevoir un sourire en coin chez le lecteur, ils ont fait mieux qu'Alex Kid in Miracle World depuis vingt ans ?) même si la console a depuis maintenant bien longtemps pris place dans une boite au grenier, victime d'une quelconque panne.

Pour l'installer sans risque sous Ubuntu, téléchargez "Linux Build" de la partie Downloads, sur le site officiel (en bas à ce jour). Créez un répértoire osmose dans votre répertoire personnel par exemple, dans lequel vous placerez le contenu du fichier .zip téléchargé.

Osmose est opérationnel, il ne reste plus qu'à jouer :-)

Et les cartouches de jeu je les mets où ?
J'aurais bien une réponse, mais, même si elle rencontrerait un franc succès chez mes amis les glands, je doute qu'elle convienne par ici :-D

La réponse sérieuse est : nulle part !

Il suffit de télécharger ce que l'on appelle des "rom" sur des sites spécialisés, puis d'indiquer ce fichier en argument d'osmose, ce qui donne par exemple :
/home/user/osmose/osmose /home/user/osmose/alexkid.sms

Pour mon plus grand bonheur :-)

Souvenirs souvenirs ^^

C'est fini ?
Non, pas encore, mais il n'y en a plus pour longtemps je vous rassure ;-)

LE défaut d'osmose, à mon avis, est la configuration initiale des touches, en effet, jouer avec CTRL, ALT et les flèches peut s'avérer peu pratique sur un système tel le notre, avec ses raccourcis clavier habituels...

Lors du premier lancement d'Osmose, un dossier osmose_files est créé, il contient, outre les répertoires de capture sonore et visuelle, le fichier osmose.ini qui contient la configuration du logiciel.

Il est conseillé de ne pas modifier directement ce fichier mais d'utiliser l'option -inifile, à défaut, faites une sauvegarde !

Voilà, c'est fini...
Je crois avoir tout dit, le fichier de configuration vous dira le reste :-p (n'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous ne le comprenez pas), le lancement d'osmose sans argument vous proposera la liste de ces derniers (idem), bref, il ne me reste qu'à mentionner l'existence de wxosmose, une interface graphique à osmose, inutile donc nullement indispensable ;-)

Have fun !

Contrariando a muitos, Alex Kidd venceu confortavelmente o wrestler Haggar, Crono por sua vez, nem tomou conhecimento do melequento Booger e o despachou sem cerimônia. Nos jogos seguintes, dois favoritos caíram; Tommy Vercetti sucumbiu perante Donkey Kong, o gorila é o azarão da competição, saíndo de uma situação de quase desclassificação na primeira fase para as quartas de final. O seu adversário será Duke, que venceu Billy 'Voadora na Boca' Lee no jogo mais emocionante do dia, resolvido nos últimos minutos.

Agora, vamos às Quartas de Final, os oito melhores já estão definidos, agora resta saber quem avança para a tão esperada Semi-final e consequente Final.

O negócio tá ficando interessante... Mario enfrenta Ryu em uma partida complicada, Alex Kidd tem uma tarefa dificílima contra Crono, que até aqui não tem mostrado muita pena dos adversários. Na sequência, Sonic versus Goku e o azarão DK contra Duke Nukem.

Agora é com vocês.

Mario desbancou o Prince, abriu boa vantagem desde o início e venceu sem maiores problemas, o mesmo com Ryu, que contrariou os apostadores e mandou o 'hylian' pra casa mais cedo, seu desafio agora é contra o assassino Mario. No jogo mais emocionante do dia, deu Sonic, que com um último golpe na prorrogação venceu o reploid Zero, para enfrentar Goku nas quartas de final, que não viu dificuldades para tostar o ninja Shinobi.

E agora, os jogos finais das oitavas:

Um verdadeiro duelo de "Davi e Golias" no primeiro jogo do dia, Alex Kidd contra Haggar. Na sequencia teremos Crono e Boogerman e Vercetti contra DK. Fechando a rodada, Billy "Voadora na Boca" Lee encarando o explosivo Duke Nukem.

Let the carnage begin!

Ryu passou fácil pelo saco-de-pancadas do grupo, Knuckles, e garantiu de vez a liderança do grupo, mas foi por muito pouco, Goku venceu bem a Lara e ficou em segundo, com um saldo muito próximo ao de Ryu. Portanto, Ryu e Goku avançam, deixando Lara e Knuckles pra trás, e até agora nenhuma representante feminina se classificou.

Pelo Grupo D, o primeiro empate em pontos da copa. Os resultados deixaram Shinobi e Link empatados em primeiro, como no confronto direto o ninja levou a melhor, segue Shinobi em primeiro. O empate com o Noid na rodada passada custou caro para o V-Block, que perdeu do Link e ficou em terceiro do grupo, adiós V-Block e Noid.

Faltam apenas 4 Grupos serem definidos, hoje fechamos os Grupos E e F com os jogos:

Uma briga boa no Grupo E, Alex tem a classificação garantida, enquanto Jim e DK disputam a segunda vaga, tudo depende do resultado de seus jogos. Pelo Grupo F, a disputa mais equilibrada da Copa acontece nessa rodada, aqui todos tem chance de classificação, e quem decide são vocês.

Rock on!

Parece que os jogos do Grupo C terminaram sem maiores surpresas. Tivemos a vitória tranquila de Ryu sobre Lara e na sequencia, um jogo mais difícil, que terminou com a vitória de Goku nos momentos finais. Agora o Grupo fica todo embolado, temos Ryu e Goku empatados com 4 pontos e Lara Croft ainda com chances de classificação, com 3 pontos, Knuckles não marcou pontos e já está nocauteado, tudo fica definido na próxima rodada do grupo.

Pelo Grupo D, Link foi surpreendido pelo furioso Shinobi, que veio de uma derrota e levou os pontos. Uma vitória importante para o futuro do ninja que enfrenta o Noid no próximo jogo. O Noid conseguiu um pontinho no duelo com o favorito V-Block e ainda tem chances de ir para as oitavas, mais um grupo que será definido na próxima rodada.

E agora, Round 7. Fight!

O  Grupo E parece já estar definido, ou não... Vencedores contra perdedores nessa rodada: Alex contra Crash e Jim contra DK... mas tudo pode acontecer. Enquanto no Grupo da morte, Vercetti encara Zéfiró e o gato Bubsy pega Haggar.

Agora é a sua vez!

Ryu e Goku foi uma luta muito equilibrada, como era de se esperar, o jogo ficou o tempo todo empatado e terminou em um incrível 5 a 5. Lara Croft não tomou conhecimento do adversário e destruíu sem pena, assumindo sozinha a liderança do Grupo C com um ótimo saldo.

O mesmo fez Link contra o Noid, que parecia estar mais preocupado em degustar suas pizzas do que se esquivar das espadadas do elfo. No último jogo do dia, uma luta bem peculiar. Com o apoio da torcida, Tetris V-Block venceu fácil o ninja Shinobi com um placar relativamente tranquilo, ficando em segundo lugar do Grupo D, por enquanto.

A Super Copa segue agora com os primeiros jogos dos grupos E e F:

O pequeno Alex Kidd vem com força total contra o gorila DK, enquanto Crash Bandicoot encara a minhoca marombada Jim. Pelo Grupo F, a estréia de Vercetti enfrentando o gigante Mike Haggar, enquanto Sephiroth se prepara para um duelo com o gato Bubsy. Essa rodada promete!

Não esqueça, comente o numero do jogo e o nome do vencedor para registrar seu palpite. Bom jogo!

I wont elaborate on the entire story in my development within the world of video games, because death by boredom isn't something the average human seeks to experience, but they have always been one of my many passions. Although this blog may not have the instant news bulletins of others or the shocking reports of some, it will always have a personal touch.

Only recently have I been able to afford to purchase my own games regularly; when I was growing up I was pretty much resigned to the fact that they were luxeries I received at birthdays and Christmas. Getting a (crap) job recently has allowed me to buy a ny games I want and this luxery has given me the ability to write about my experiences within these fantasy realms as any regular gamer with no links to the industry. We poor souls don't get free advanced review copies. We actually have to wander down to the shops and hand over our hard earned cash to get our games. And it's not something we take lightly. My point exactly? Empathy.

Encarnamos a Alex un joven monito que tiene que recorrer el mundo a base de puñetazos en busca de su hermano Egle, capturado por Janken el Grande. A lo largo de sus 16 niveles tendra que enfrentarse a distintos monstruos incluyendo competiciones de "Piedra, papel, tijera".

Location
The event was located at the Mission nightclub in Leeds. It is one of the first time Mission has hosted such an event as normally if Goodgreef or Sundissential come to Leeds they have gone with Evolution or Gatecrasher as the venue due to the size, after Missions refurbishment to include Mission Annexe the capacity has increased. Even after the refit, it was still very very full, at the max capacity at least, very packed out!! Phew! The staff did a good job at the bar I must say as even with thousands of people I got served relatively fast. The one thing that Mission let us down on was drinks prices, seriously WTF, a bottle of water was cheaper @ creamfields than here! £3.50 a bottle!

The event had three rooms playing three distinct different styles of hard dance.

Room 1, the main room: Extra Hard Hardstyle.

Room 2: Trance/ Tech Trance

Room 3: House / Funky

Atmosphere
The atmosphere was amazing as everyone came to enjoy the music and dance like crazy, I have to say this event was the most energetic (and Ive been to a fair few now) and 'hard' event I have ever been to, seriously! The crowd went mental when DJs were coming off and on, and went even mentaler at classic hard dance toons. The middle of the dancefloor there was an elevated podium thing, people were dancing so hard some wires dropped from the roof! BOOM BOOM BOOM! F**ckin awesome! When the hardcore techno came in signs were ripped down and danced with haha (pic). I don't think Missions bouncers are used to this hardcoreness lol, as they did nothing.

Music

Now to my review of the music, which of course is the whole point of going lol. I cant write a review of everything as I would have to be everywhere at once to do so, so i will give comments about what I did see:

Started off in the Tech Trance room for a bit and saw Kane Nelson (pic), I haven't seen him before, not surprised really as the opening acts are usually relatively new to the clubs. Kane nelson opened with some good trance tunes mixing in electro and techno beats, I enjoyed that, was entertaining to watch!

I then went onto the main room to see the tidy DJs who I recognise from the Tidy Weekender I went to a few months back. They played classic tunes from Tidy as well as some new stuff, reliving the memories of the weekender i was here. Good tunes, did a good job boyz!

Spenner my mate wanted to see Matt Pickup playing B2B with Steve NRG as hes a fan so i stopped in the main room for this, I was at the Bar a lot when they were playing chatting to randoms. Cally Cage was on next, i previously heard uncool comments about here DJing abilities on the web but was very surprised. She got the crowd going indeed, blummin heck - played some right belters!

The big guns were on next and you can tell this because the main room got extremely packed, i was going crazy to "Andy Whitby between two bikini clad woman so I wasn't complaining d: Andy Whitby won the best DJ of 2007 in the hard dance awards and rightfully so too in my opinion, he plays very technically indeed, very impressive, he started at 10:30 i looked at my watch 15 mins l8r and he had to have played up to 10 tracks mixed up in that space of time! The crowd went mental for Whitby as always - hard style. Nearly everyone in the crowd was singing along to his classics too, and I was shoutin' my head off, i like it when I'm in a club with like minded ppl lol.

11:30 saw Alex Kidd (pic)come onto the stage, i have seen him before and was very impressed, he really gets the crowd going with rather than playing just his tracks and mixing them, but making a song out of turning the turntable on the song - you will know what i mean if you hear it. Absolutely awesome. DJ Alex Kidd's visual effects were a good touch as well. Link to his website: "How Dare they try to test DJ Alex Kidd!"

The worlds number one hardstyle DJ come over all the way from Holland for this event, my first time seeing her live - DJ Lady Dana (pic). She played some ace toons, and some really hard stuff which i enjoyed loads but i think she could could have been more entertaining to the crowd IMO.

I slipped off to the tech trance room to see Adam Sheridan for half an hour for a relative rest before my favourite DJ came on in the main room. He played some gorgeous trance tunes, the ones where you lift your arms into the air to the highs and the wonderful lyrics *sigh*, and then bust into some crazy hard techno stuff after building up the crowd with the gorgeousness - I am very impressed with Sheridan, you can definitely tell he has played with the best of the best in the trance room in the past (Tiesto, Armin Van Burren etc...).

I went to the main room to see Lady Danas' last track and the crowd was chanting "Mark EG, Mark EG" over and over haha, I can see she wasn't mega happy @ that lol! The man (pic) came onto the stage and stopped the music WTF, played some famous quotes from some film he loved, did some crazy dancing - and pounded the F*CK out of the soundsystem all of a sudden getting the crowd to go mental with his chanting about 'only living once'. Mark EG is a legend - his music was good, very hard, repetitive, underground cybergoth techno style, but not as technically proficient as the others. He really made a great performance though, living true to his name. I managed to get a great pic of him going mental up close too!

Last to the stage in the main room was Radio 1's Kutski (Pic) vs Greece's number one hard dance DJ Ilogik. I am a huge fan of Ilogik and have seen him twice before (once where i shook his hand woot!), he's a technical genius when it comes to the decks, he concentrates a lot when playing so hardly looks at the crowd at all. I havent seen kutski before tonight, i have been told about his abilities though but was skeptical before tonight, my my he is bloody awesome at mixing. His set i have to say was the best of the night, Mark EG and Alex Kidd even joined him on the stage at one point looking at him DJing (pic). Wow - well impressed!

Overall
Overall i definitely had an awesome time, listened to, raved my heart out at and seen some great performances who were technically amazing. The crowd was the best ever i have experienced at an event of this size too. great stuff.

Some links to random pics i took on my phone are below, apologies for the quality but I think i did okay as the night was mental.
