Stumbling Tours: Epic Megagames Part 2 - Ventures in VGA!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_sDBGjEWM4


Continuing my look through the back catalogue of the great Epic Megagames, covering their history from ZZT to Unreal Tournament! This episode is about the first four graphical games that Epic released in 1992 - it’s called Ventures in VGA even though one of them isn’t.

Features Jill of the Jungle, Kiloblaster, Brix and Overkill.

(−) Eee.

  • 2:31: did you really just call that weapon a “sort of fidget spinner”? c..c
  • 6:31: okay, I approve of that sound.
  • 6:58: plus the ability to save.
  • 11:55: wow, the tilesets really are similar.
  • 14:21: that's not surprising in that era, I think; mostly thinking of Chip's Challenge here.

I am enjoying these. ^..^
