The player pilots the starship 'Caesar', | favicon.ico | RetroGames.cz | https://www.retrogames.cz/play_845-NES.php | Star Soldier is a shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Family Computer and the MSX. The player pilots the starship 'Caesar', travelling through space stations occupied by powerful supercomputers known as 'Starbrains' who threaten the galactic empire. Star Soldier greatly resembles the earlier arcade game Star Force.
Star Soldier has spawned numerous sequels, starting with Super Star Soldier on the PC Engine. It was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2004 in Japan as part of the Famicom Mini series, and to the Wii's Virtual Console in the Japanese and North American regions in July 2007. An enhanced remake of the game was released on PlayStation Portable only in Japan in 2005.
More details about this game can be found on Wikipedia.org.
This verÂsion of Star Soldier was deÂsigÂned for the NinÂtenÂdo EnÂterÂtaiÂnment SysÂtem (NES), which was an eight-bit viÂdeo gaÂme conÂsoÂle maÂnuÂfacÂtuÂred by NinÂtenÂdo in the years 1983 - 2003. In that time, it was the best-selÂling viÂdeo gaÂme conÂsoÂle for which moÂre than 700 liÂcenÂsed gaÂmes and a numÂber of non-liÂcenÂsed gaÂmes weÂre creÂaÂted. WorldÂwiÂde, apÂproÂxiÂmaÂteÂly 62 milÂlion units of this conÂsoÂle weÂre sold at apÂproÂxiÂmaÂteÂly priÂce $ 100 per unit. MoÂre inÂforÂmaÂtiÂon about the NES conÂsoÂle can be found here.
You can control this game easily by using the keyboard of your PC (see the table next to the game). However, for maximum gaming enjoyment, we strongly recommend using a USB gamepad that you simply plug into the USB port of your computer. If you do not have a gamepad, buy a suitable USB controller on Amazon or AliExpress or in some of your favorite online stores.
6 different online emulators are available for Star Soldier. These emulators differ not only in the technology they use to emulate old games, but also in support of various game controllers, multiplayer mode, mobile phone touchscreen, emulation speed, absence or presence of embedded ads and in many other parameters. For maximum gaming enjoyment, it's important to choose the right emulator, because on each PC and in different Internet browsers, the individual emulators behave differently. The basic features of each emulator available for this game Star Soldier are summarized in the following table: | |||||

] | null | [] | null | null | Overview
Considered as a kind of unofficial sequel to the hit game Gunhed, Super Star Soldier follows the same formula, with a selection of upgradeable weapons and a variety of space and land-based landscapes to fly over. Smart bombs are achieved by collecting flashing power-up orbs, and these also give you an extra bonus - the ability to continue from the point of death for each one you collect. Once you run out of these, you are set back to a restart point earlier in the level.
You say...
Super Star Soldier is probably my favourite Soldier series game. Obviously the plot is blah blah blah ALIENS, but this is one of the purest arcade-style shooters on the system in my opinion. It looks incredible, and the amount going on would be overwhelming at times if not for the sheer amount of screen clearing death you're capable of generating. The power up system is brilliantly simple: 4 weapons, each with three levels of power, along with things like homing missiles. There's also a subtle advantage to choosing the right weapon for the right sections. Music is some of the best on any HuCard in my opinion. Where this game really gets it right, is taking everything good about arcade shooters, and reworking it to a home system. It's not an incredibly difficult game, the fun comes from the variance in stages, and the thrill of what comes next.
Also, power ups are not sparse. This game doesn't fall into the trap of restarting you at a checkpoint with peashooter just before a boss. It never punishes you, it wants you to play. Against it, some of the backgrounds could be a little more detailed, but to its credit, it's an early release. I'd say this game lacks very little for what it is, a thoroughly enjoyable vertical shooter that never makes you want to scream in frustration. I've sat down and played through as far as I can get for a whole afternoon, getting a bit further each time, and I've loved every minute.

4 Soldiers
Four soldiers make up a team — a noncommissioned officer and three junior enlisted soldiers. Teams with special functions may also include officers or warrant officers. An infantry fire team might include two riflemen, one of whom is the team leader; a grenadier and an automatic rifleman, who is used when small reconnaissance or special missions are required. Teams can serve as a base-of-fire or as a maneuver element.
SQUAD
Commanded By:
Staff Sergeant
Also referredto as aSECTION
10 Soldiers
Two teams make up a squad, which has four to 10 soldiers. In an infantry squad, the teams divide duties: one serves as a base-of-fire element, while the other serves as the maneuver element. A staff sergeant is often in charge.
PLATOON
Commanded By:
Lieutenant
2-3squads
36 Soldiers
A platoon consists of a few squads and up to a few dozen soldiers. They’re generally run by a lieutenant, often with a noncommissioned officer as second in command. An infantry platoon might include a weapons squad, which is divided into two M240 machine gun teams, and two close-combat missile teams armed with Javelin missiles.
COMPANY
Commanded By:
Captain
3-4platoons
200 Soldiers
A company has anywhere from a few dozen to 200 soldiers. It’s a tactical-sized unit that can perform a battlefield function on its own. A company consists of three or four platoons and is generally commanded by a captain. It can also go by different names, depending on the function: Company-sized artillery units are called batteries, while in armor and air cavalry units, they are called troops.
BATTALION
Commanded By:
Lieutenant Colonel
4-6 COMPANIES
1,000 Soldiers
Battalions consist of four to six companies and can include up to about 1,000 soldiers. They can conduct independent operations of limited scope and duration and are usually commanded by a lieutenant colonel. There are combat arms battalions, as well as combat support and combat service support battalions. An armor or air cavalry unit of equivalent size is known as a squadron.
BRIGADE
Commanded By:
Colonel
2-3battalions
5,000 Soldiers
A brigade consists of a few battalions and anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers. A colonel is generally in command. For historical reasons, armor and Ranger units of brigade size are called regiments, and the equivalent Special Forces units are called groups. In 2016, the Army reorganized its brigades into brigade combat teams, which are autonomous modular brigades that most commonly include one combat arms brigade and its assigned support and fire units.
DIVISION
Commanded By:
Major General
3-4brigades
15,000 Soldiers
Usually commanded by a major general, divisions are made up of three or four brigades and include 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers. Current divisions include airborne, armored, infantry and mountain divisions. Each can conduct major tactical operations and sustained battlefield operations. They are numbered and assigned missions based on their structures.
CORPS
Commanded By:
Lieutenant General
2-5divisions
45,000 Soldiers
A corps includes two to five divisions with anywhere between 20,000 and 45,000 soldiers. A lieutenant general is in command. The corps is the highest level of command that can provide operational direction for actual combat. Higher levels are concerned with administration rather than operations. The current active corps are I Corps at Fort Lewis, Washington; III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas; and XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
FIELD-ARMY
Commanded By:
General
4+divisions
90,000 Soldiers
A field army consists of two or more corps and is run by a general or lieutenant general. First Army serves as a mobilization, readiness and training command; Third Army, or U.S. Army Central, commands all Army forces for U.S. Central Command; Fifth Army, or U.S. Army North, commands all Army forces for U.S. Northern Command; Sixth Army, or U.S. Army South, commands all Army forces for U.S. Southern Command; Seventh Army, or U.S. Army Europe, commands all Army forces for U.S. European Command; Eighth Army commands all U.S. Army forces in South Korea; and Ninth Army, or U.S. Army Africa, commands all Army forces for U.S. Africa Command.
ARMY-GROUP
Commanded By:
General
4-5field armies
400,000 Soldiers
A group consists of four or five field armies and between 400,000 and 1 million soldiers. They’re commanded by a general and are considered self-sufficient for indefinite periods. They’re usually responsible for planning and directing campaigns in particular geographic areas. To differentiate them from field armies, groups are usually written with Arabic numerals (example - 12th Army Group) as opposed to having their number written out.
ARMY-REGION
Commanded By:
General
3+field armies
999,999+ Soldiers
These are only used in times of large-scale war, such as World War II. They usually consist of three or more field armies, with about 1 million to 3 million soldiers. They’re generally headed by a four- or five-star general. | ||||

Suggested clothing of interest includes pants, shorts, T-shirts, light jackets, shoes, unused socks and underclothes. Unopened toiletries will also be collected.

Twenty years ago, on September 11, 2001, the United States came under attack.
In response, 181,510 Americans enlisted for active duty service, and 72,908 joined
the reserves in the year following Sept. 11.
Out of that fateful day emerged a new generation of Americans ready and prepared to
serve and defend their country and their fellow Americans, no matter the risk. Many paid
the ultimate price to help ensure such a horrific attack on the United States never
happens again.
The mission of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum is to serve as a lasting tribute
to those men and women who unselfishly gave of themselves in service to their country.
This somber 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Soldiers & Sailors will
recognize those service members with an installation of 7,053 dog tags suspended
between the light posts across the walkway leading to the building for visitors to
pass under. Each dog tag represents an individual life lost in the conflicts since
September 11, 2001. Included are 300 special flag dog tags specifically representing each
individual service member from Pennsylvania.
To formally observe the solemn occasion “Taps” will be sounded at dusk on
September 11, 2021.
The building will be closed at this time.
The open-air memorial is free to visit and open 24 hours a day through September 30th.

Spotlight On: Beer in the History of War
October 14, 2021 7PM – Virtual Event
Join us on Facebook or YouTube
The story of beer in war goes back to the Romans and the Huns, if not to the beginnings of war itself. Generals, including George Washington, planned army movements around the delivery of beer rations for the troops. Soldiers have longed for a taste of their local beer as a reminder of their home and normality. Soldiers and sailors have exercised great creativity and daring in their efforts to bring beer to their comrades in arms. Focusing on the Civil War through Afghanistan, this presentation will examine how beer has impacted war and how war has changed beer.

] | 2023-03-23T17:00:00+00:00 | Polygon’s GOTY 2023 ranking includes games like Zelda: TOTK, Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and more on Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox. | en | /static-assets/icons/favicon.ico | Polygon | https://www.polygon.com/23648669/best-video-games-2023 | For the first year in recent memory, scale did not necessitate tradition, and scope did not preclude getting weird. In 2023, nothing was sacred in video games, and so they felt more vibrant than ever.
Sure, some of the more “focused” games threw us for a pleasant loop: Dredge begins as a lonely fishing sim before transforming into something otherworldly, and Humanity morphed from a pensive art project into an all-out war. Dave the Diver, similarly, is not so much about being a diver as it is about running a sushi restaurant, or hunting for alien artifacts, or conversing with said aliens, or — you get the point. Whether you booted up your Steam Deck for a cross-country flight or hid your Switch off screen during that boring Zoom meeting, the game you returned to was rarely the one you left behind.
This amorphousness (I’m begging our copy editor to let this one slide, because what other “word” could adequately summarize the video games of 2023?) wasn’t consigned to the newcomers, though. Larian Studios, fresh off two years of early-access development and riding the reputation it had garnered from Divinity: Original Sin 2, saw fit to release a role-playing game in which you can kill off nearly every main character the moment you meet them. Remedy Entertainment — let’s be honest, this group has always been strange — made a sequel that’s equal parts horrifying, hilarious, fun, and fabulous. And Nintendo? Well, Nintendo had another banner year. That’s no surprise. The real surprise? It finally let go, and let players toy with the digital molecules of its most revered series. More on this below.
As the year comes to a close, it’s intoxicating to see developers of all sizes, in every genre, with every tier of budget, mining the depths of interactive design, branching this way and that as they follow their respective veins of gold. They’re nowhere near the bottom of that particular expanse, of course — and that’s a heartening thought. —Mike Mahardy
How the Polygon top 50 list works
Over the past few weeks, the Polygon staff voted, championed, debated, and ultimately threw up its hands and marveled at the list of mammoths, curiosities, puzzle boxes, and black holes that is our top 50 games of 2023. Any video games that were released in 2023, received substantial updates in 2023, or achieved renewed cultural relevance in 2023 were eligible for this list. Last year, the cutoff for consideration was Nov. 30. (You’ll notice a certain Firaxis Games joint fairly high up our list.) This year, the cutoff was the same. Should we be thoroughly enamored with Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader or Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, we’ll make sure they’re considered for next year’s top 50.

Mr. Sun’s Hatbox is about a hat delivery person (or maybe it’s just a blob with legs?) that takes their job way too seriously. At the beginning of the game, a customer’s package gets stolen and whisked away to a nearby towering castle. Despite the client’s apathy toward a single missing hat, the delivery company, named Amazin, proceeds to set up an entire subterranean paramilitary operation beneath the poor customer’s home.
As its premise suggests, this pixelated 2D roguelite leans into the absurd. Part Metal Gear Solid 5, part Spelunky, you undertake missions where you blast away enemies and kidnap them for your own operation, all while slapstick action unfolds. While on a mission, anything from a desk lamp to daggers is fair game for a weapon. In between fights, you expand your base, where you manage a staff of brainwashed blob-people. It’s fast, frenetic fun, and especially enjoyable to share with friends in co-op. —Ana Diaz
49. Lies of P
Developer: Neowiz Games
Where to play: Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
Yes, Lies of P is a Dark Souls mixed with Pinocchio, and that’s a questionable elevator pitch from the outset.
In the years leading up to Lies of P, “Pinocchiosouls” was more of a running joke than anything — this profane idea that you can take any world and slap some Dark Souls into it to get people mildly interested. But once you’re in the game, eliminating bosses left and right with your sweet parry moves, you’ll quickly find yourself entirely unbothered by how strange Lies of P initially seemed. And you’ll start telling your partner things like “I have to go back to Geppetto to upgrade my puppet body” like it’s a perfectly normal task to assign yourself on a Tuesday afternoon.
It’s very rare for a Soulslike to ever feel like anything more than a knockoff — even when they’re decent fun, like The Surge. But the best compliment I can give Lies of P is that it feels like the genuine article, a FromSoftware game developed in an alternate dimension and somehow released in this one by mistake. But it wasn’t a mistake or luck that made Lies of P, and it wasn’t FromSoftware, either; it was a talented group of developers at Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio that took a tired genre, paired it with a bizarre IP, and knocked it out of the park. —Ryan Gilliam
48. Tchia
Developer: Awaceb
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
Tchia is an open-world adventure game set in a fictional version of island nation New Caledonia — inspired by Awaceb’s co-founder’s childhood in the country.
Everything is filtered through the titular main character Tchia’s eyes, eyes with a special power that allows her to transform into any animals or objects in her environment. Birds, dolphins, a camera, or rocks… It’s all an option for Tchia.
The game, while clearly inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, ends up standing on its own because of the innovative shapeshifting mechanics. Tchia isn’t as technically polished as a Nintendo title with hundreds of developers; Awaceb has a team of roughly a dozen. Still, it’s hard to innovate in such a ubiquitous genre, yet Awaceb has managed to do just that with Tchia, making it one of the best games so far this year. —Nicole Carpenter
47. Blasphemous 2
Developer: The Game Kitchen
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
Long gone are the days when the Metroidvania genre languished untouched for years on end. But despite an influx of entries in recent years, few have exhibited as much mastery as Blasphemous 2. Building off of the strong roots of the first game, Blasphemous 2 continues to use Spanish Catholicism as a narrative and aesthetic touchpoint, telling a twisted religious tale that’s about as far from proselytizing as you can get.
After the success of the first game, the developers have focused on refining the combat, adding multiple weapons and bizarre, hidden customization options that allow you to take command of how your character rips this world to shreds. The last time I played a 2D Metroidvania with this much polish and charm, it was Hollow Knight. Blasphemous 2 might not reach those same heights, but it comes damn close. —Russ Frushtick
46. Party Animals
Developer: Recreate Games
Where to play: Windows PC and Xbox Series X
I do not know how Recreate Games managed to render some of the cutest animals I’ve ever seen. I also do not know how Recreate made me completely OK with picking up these cute animals and flinging them into black holes, poison clouds, or freezing tundras. The second the match starts in Party Animals, all those cute fluffy corgis, rabbits, kitties, and ducks become my enemies. I will beat them with a bat until they can’t wake up anymore, and I won’t think twice about it. Party Animals may have made me a monster? I don’t know.
The Gang Beasts-esque wiggly physics mixed with the cute characters makes for a perfect party game of fluffy fighting. —Julia Lee
45. The Talos Principle 2
Developer: Croteam
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
Like its predecessor, The Talos Principle 2 tackles grand science fiction ideas, particularly about what it means to be human — a theme thoroughly explored in this installment of the series set in a post-human society of AI-powered robots that are carrying on human culture and civilization. Also like its predecessor, The Talos Principle 2 is replete with philosophical commentary and references to famous artists and thinkers. My favorite is a riff on Werner Herzog’s famous quote about birds: “The enormity of their flat brain. The enormity of their stupidity is just overwhelming.”
But if you’re like me, you’re playing the game because you’re an absolute freak for light refraction, gravity, and geospatial puzzles. There are so many puzzles in this game — there’s even a puzzle metagame, spread across the game’s gorgeous map — and they’re each excellent, teaching you new concepts before refracting them and forcing you to think differently. —Nicole Clark
44. Fading Afternoon
Developer: yeo
Where to play: Windows PC
Video games demand an account for your time. Some video games track the minutes and hours you’ve spent on screen. Others impose strict limits on how long you play, or how much you can do. But all video games constantly ask: How will you spend your time? Seiji Maruyama doesn’t know how much time he has left. Fresh out of prison, he’s not a young man anymore, but he doesn’t want the streets to know. So he returns to his life as a yakuza heavy, hoping to make his mark again.
Fading Afternoon ends when Seiji’s time runs out. Based on the choices you make, the consequences of which are initially obfuscated, this could be five minutes after the game begins, or it could be five hours. He has a bad cough and a pack of cigarettes, each a metaphor for the ticking clock inside of him. You could go to work, brawling on the streets. Or you can simply pass the time: Listen to a jazz band. Play video poker. Buy a home. Fall in love. You have the time, until you don’t. —Joshua Rivera
43. Suika Game
Developer: Aladdin X
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
I thank VTubers every day for many things, but I will kiss the feet of the anime avatars that introduced me to Suika Game. The engrossing 2048-meets-Tetris-with-physics fruit drop game has become my go-to whenever I need to kill some time. Note that I am talking about the official Nintendo Switch version, not all of the horrific ad-plagued knockoffs that have flooded the App Store.
The thing that makes Suika so special, in addition to its cutesy gameplay, is its quality as a social game. The same way we sit around and talk about our NYT Connections, we sit around and talk about our fruitless (ha) attempts at getting double watermelons or breaking the 3,000 point threshold. It’s also a great game to watch: Nothing is funnier than seeing somebody’s Suika run go downhill in 30 seconds flat. (There’s a reason why the game has taken the streaming world by storm.) —JL
42. League of Legends Season 13
Developer: Riot Games
Where to play: Mac and Windows PC
League of Legends’ 13th season is one of the game’s most balanced yet. Almost every champion has felt viable throughout the year — no small feat for a game with over 140 playable characters — and it’s led to great fun and variety on the solo queue ladder and in professional play, where an exciting Worlds just wrapped up.
But there’s another reason League had an outstanding 2023: Arena, a new game mode introduced during the game’s summer event. Arena is a 2v2v2v2 battle mode with fast-paced chaos, using League’s roster of champions in a more approachable and containable setting (and with less rage-inducing teammates). The mode was removed after the conclusion of the summer event, but is reportedly returning soon. It can’t possibly come soon enough; I know how I’ll be spending a good chunk of my winter. —Pete Volk
41. Goodbye Volcano High
Developer: KO_OP
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
Goodbye Volcano High is a visual novel with rhythm game elements, and it takes place at the precipice of the end of the world. It’s centered on a group of teenage dinosaurs entering their senior year of high school, a perfect balance between high school dramatics and the grim future of Earth, as a meteor rockets toward the planet. Though the rhythm game elements can feel a bit finicky — and don’t seem to matter much, in terms of progressing the game — Goodbye Volcano High’s music only adds to the dimensional, raw experience created by worker-owned studio KO_OP.
It’s rare to find a game that takes the teenage experience seriously, but Goodbye Volcano High does just that. It’s a time in your life where you feel so, so much. You can see that earnestness in the teenage experience where everything is a big, huge issue — sometimes to the point of cringe — tied up in that big, global issue of the meteor that’s looking to destroy everything. —N. Carpenter
40. World of Warcraft Classic
Developer: Blizzard Entertainment
Where to play: Mac and Windows PC
Something very, very interesting started to happen in the retro version of WoW this year. While Blizzard has been content to march one half of the game’s community forward through its history of expansions, it’s started to come up with creative ways to keep the other half — the half that wants to stay in the game as it was at launch — engaged.
The first of these was Hardcore, a brilliant permadeath mode that instantly made this aging game both more dangerous and more social, resurrecting the spirit of its 2004 servers. The second, just launched, is the wild Season of Discovery, which remixes and restructures the original WoW experience — interpolating staggered level caps, shuffling class roles — in ways that might just change MMO design forever. WoW Classic is quietly, and paradoxically, where Blizzard is doing its most forward-thinking work right now. —Oli Welsh
39. Fire Emblem Engage
Developer: Intelligent Systems
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
Fire Emblem Engage was designed for a very specific kind of sicko: one not particularly interested in the origin stories of a horde of teenagers, or the politics of a bourgeoise academy, or what kind of tea a teacher prefers, but instead one obsessed with the endless minutiae of combat stats, weapon loadouts, and team composition. I know this because I am one such sicko.
If you’ve read any of my reviews or essays on Polygon, then you know I prefer strategy games that can get out of their own way. More precisely, I love when strategy developers can put their pens down, throw their hands up, and admit that the stories unfolding in the player’s head will almost always be more powerful than anything they could write. Fire Emblem Engage is one of the foremost proponents of this idea. It hurls an excess of characters, weapons, battle scenarios, and stat-boosting abilities at you, leaving the door open for you to observe character interactions on the battlefield and create the resulting fanfiction in your head. Its actual script is a quagmire of nonsensical JRPG tropes, and each cutscene is more skippable than the next. But if you’re looking for an excellent turn-based tactics game that gets out of the player’s way, you can do a whole lot worse than Fire Emblem Engage. —M. Mahardy
38. Pizza Tower
Developer: Tour De Pizza
Where to play: Windows PC
Pizza Tower is a perfect object, and fully committed to its vision. You play as Peppino Spaghetti, a chef who must race up the pizza tower in order to defeat the existential threat posed by Pizzaface, an enormous floating pizza that also happens to be sentient. Super normal stuff. To get there, you platform through a series of levels, picking up speed as you zoom through enemies and obstacles. It’s easy to get into a flow state.
Pizza Tower also beautifully captures the essence of the Wario Land series. The game is delightful to look at, with an irreverent art style that’s referential to late-’90s and early-2000s cartoons, and absurd enemies and animations. Levels are also chock-full of secret rooms, passageways, and treasures, making it hard to put down and fun to replay. —N. Clark
37. Subpar Pool
Developer: grapefrukt games
Where to play: Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC
You can play this delightful physics puzzler — best described as dynamic minigolf on a pool table — on Switch or Steam if you want, but it’s most at home on your phone. It’s an absolutely ideal mobile game: a reasonably priced paid app with no ads, in-app purchases, or subscription, playable in a spare three minutes. Pocket adorable, smiling pool balls on tables adorned with conveyor belts, portals, and moving pockets, while challenging yourself with a host of mix-and-match rulesets (balls that crack, split, or home in on you, a locked starting position, more balls, no guideline for bounces, etc.). Mobile gamers of taste will recognize the work of grapefrukt, aka Martin Jonasson, Swedish developer of such elegant classics as Holedown, Twofold Inc., and Rymdkapsel. —OW
36. Amnesia: The Bunker
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
If only one developer could be said to have a master’s grasp on interactive horror, I’d have to tip my hat to Frictional Games. The Amnesia series has always been a thrill ride of terrifying chases and the quiet, a little too quiet, moments that build up tension between. Amnesia: The Bunker is no different. In fact, it’s one of Frictional’s best.
Set in a seemingly abandoned bunker that’s been sealed by explosions during World War I, your simple yet difficult task is to find an exit. This being a horror game, though, you also have to collect fuel for the bunker’s generator — a veritable beating heart — and scrutinize maps on safe room walls, before venturing into the titular structure’s labyrinthine bowels. Oh, also! There’s a monster hunting you. And it can ambush you from wall vents. And it’s attracted to even the slightest bit of sound. And whether you’re juicing your hand-cranked flashlight, triggering long-forgotten tripwires, or just opening a heavy door into yet another concrete-encased corridor, you’re going to have to make noise at some point. The Bunker is as potent in its terror as any horror video game out there. —M. Mahardy
35. Lil Gator Game
Developer: MegaWobble
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
In an unprecedented year for game releases, I understand why you’re surprised to see Lil Gator Game this high up on our list. But imagine how surprised I was to find myself, in a moment of introspection, realizing that it was one of my own favorite games in 2023. At the risk of diminishing its accomplishments, I’m going to make a comparison that should cut to the quick for interested parties: This is the most A Short Hike-alike that I’ve discovered yet, and I’ve been chasing that singular high for years. So if you have a lazy weekend afternoon and want to spend it playing — not gaming, but playing, in the joyous, unstructured sense of a day in the park — I can’t recommend this li’l game enough. —Chris Grant
34. Starfield
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Where to play: Windows PC and Xbox Series X
Starfield had so much to prove, it’s easy to lose sight of what it accomplished: top-tier world-building, a fantastically customizable ship builder, and Bethesda’s most engaging combat to date. Galaxy-spanning faction quests give you plenty to do, but it’s the side quests that really make you feel like the captain in something Star Trek adjacent: generation ships and superhero hideouts and colonies of clones. There’s good sci-fi here for those willing to make the journey.
It’s true that the game oversold the idea of a galaxy with over 1,000 planets, a number that pales in comparison to the game’s most obvious competitor, No Man’s Sky. It’s a shame this became so much of the focus thanks to Bethesda’s marketing, because that same focus obscured the absolutely fascinating new game plus mode at the game’s heart. Consider this: No Man’s Sky is the game that realizes the universe’s infinite number of planets, while Starfield realizes the universe’s infinite number of possibilities. —Clayton Ashley
33. System Shock
Developer: Nightdive Studios
Where to play: Windows PC
In a year of several stellar remakes and immersive sims, it wouldn’t have been surprising if System Shock showed its age of nearly 30 years. At least, it would have been understandable if the changes needed to update the game would leave it nigh unrecognizable. That’s why Nightdive Studios’ accomplish is so impressive: It updated the 1994 classic with a slick coat of modern paint while also preserving what made the game so thrilling in the first place.
The element where that’s most evident is in the game’s look, which captures all of the original System Shock’s garish cyberpunk neons and frightening enemies in a style that appears like a modern high-fidelity game at a distance, but subtly transforms into retro pixel bitmaps on closer inspection. In much the same way, the gameplay feels surprisingly modern at a distance, but on closer inspection, you start to see how this proto-immersive sim is actually what inspired so much modern game design. You have to rely on your own curiosity, caution, and cunning to navigate the halls of Citadel Station and upgrade your hacker into a cybernetic death machine. It’s a game that expects a lot from the player (and a little save scumming), but the experience is just as rewarding as it was in 1994. —CA
32. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
Is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor an Empire Strikes Back level of sequel? Well, no, but it manages to get extraordinarily close to being one of the best follow-ups in the entire Star Wars franchise.
The game improves upon Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in every conceivable way, with a more entertaining, action-oriented start and a ton of aerial movements and lightsaber stances that make you feel even more like a seasoned Jedi Knight. Quality-of-life improvements like fast travel make the game less frustrating to play, while the new locales packed with hidden collectibles and upgrades make exploration more rewarding.
But what makes Jedi: Survivor truly special isn’t this crude matter, but its luminous heart. You feel it in the memorable characters you meet on your galactic journey, be it the people you help or the friendships you forge and reconcile with. It’s in the classic, crowded cantina where you actually want to go check in with the barkeep. It’s in the tactile, reverent way you craft your lightsaber. And it’s in the kinetic set-pieces that remind you of the serials Star Wars was originally inspired by. At its best, you really can feel the Force around you. —CA
31. Connections
Developer: The New York Times
Where to play: Android, browser, and iOS
After the acquisition of viral hit Wordle, The New York Times’ Crossword ecosystem leveled up to full-fledged attention competitor — NYT is a media company with a gaming platform. And its staff of puzzle writers and editors are not stooping to mind-numbing mobile content to keep the expansion going. Connections, its latest title to pair well with morning coffee, is one of the year’s best games.
Connections offers you a grid of 16 words and a mission: Detect the common threads between four different sets of words without embarrassing yourself. The grouping logic ranges from simple (“animals”) to silly (“synonyms for farting”) to sneaky (“countries when the letter ‘A’ is added”). Gruff game show watchers who claim the puzzle is just a clone of BBC’s long-running Only Connect miss the personality within; Connections writer Wyna Liu brings a tremendous wit to each day’s puzzle, constructing thematic grids and throwing synonym curveballs. And like with Wordle, there’s a sense of accomplishment when you land all four sets — there’s no better start to a day than gloating to friends and family about how you completely nailed Connections. —Matt Patches
30. Hi-Fi Rush
Developer: Tango Gameworks
Where to play: Windows PC and Xbox Series X
In Hi-Fi Rush, you play as Chai, a guy who must escape the factory of a villainous corporation. In a workplace accident, Chai’s iPod gets punched into his chest, making him sensitive to sound and staying on beat. What follows is a joyful action-rhythm game where you explore, climb, and fight to the beat of the music.
The game is a remarkably inviting take on a genre not exactly known for being accessible. But Hi-Fi Rush does away with hardcore precision in exchange for gameplay that always subtly nudges you back toward keeping in time. Failing to attack on a drum stroke doesn’t mean failing a fight; you just don’t get a combo multiplier. And the musical score never gets jarring as a punishment; punchy notes always play in time with the rhythm, even if you hit a button at the wrong time. The result is a game that evokes the thrill of feeling like you’re acing it and getting into a flow, no matter your skill level. —N. Clark
29. Monster Hunter Now
Developer: Niantic
Where to play: Android and iOS
While Niantic’s post-Pokémon Go track record hasn’t been the most consistent, Monster Hunter Now shows the company at its best, with a refined combat system, simple matchmaking, great monster variety, and extensive character upgrades. Granted, those upgrades are part of a monetization setup that gets a little heavy-handed, but if you’re patient, there’s plenty of game here for free. And unlike in some of Niantic’s other games, the real-world elements don’t feel tacked on, with a design that blends almost perfectly with the company’s map tech, allowing you to feel like you’re tracking monsters as you get outside and walk around. It all makes for a big step forward in fusing Niantic’s real-world tech approach with combat and exploration mechanics that can stand up on their own. —Matt Leone
28. Diablo 4
Developer: Blizzard Entertainment
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
With Diablo 4, Blizzard Entertainment set out to marry the frenetic action of Diablo 3, the deep RPG systems of Diablo 2, and the dark tone of the original game. It was an ambitious promise, to be sure, but four years and a whole pandemic after the studio announced the long-awaited sequel at BlizzCon 2019, it’s here, and it’s fantastic.
But Diablo 4’s marriage of tone, action, and role-playing isn’t what makes it so good. In addition to all of those other things, Diablo 4 is the best launch we’ve seen for a new “living game” in recent memory.
With the likes of Destiny, Anthem, and even Diablo 3, it was clear from the start that there were some nuggets of potential. But being a fan meant slogging through mountains of frustration just to taste a morsel of what you’d hope those games would become. Playing these games early on was a kind of gamble.
Diablo 4, however, is unlike any of those projects, because its systems were deep and nuanced from the start, enough to spend hundreds of hours growing your character. And there is already loads of content to support that kind of time investment. —RG
27. Hitman World of Assassination: Freelancer mode
Developer: IO Interactive
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
Hitman World of Assassination’s Freelancer mode, which debuted in January and puts a roguelike twist on Agent 47’s globe-trotting murder-for-hire missions, isn’t for the faint of heart. It demands constant improvisation, to a degree that can challenge even veteran Hitman players. Repeated failures can make it feel more frustrating than fun.
But as every fan of roguelikes knows, these high-stakes experiences have the capacity to deliver a sense of exhilaration like nothing else. Pulling off multiple daring kills, hiding the evidence (or going out with a bang), and trying to make it out alive with all the gear you brought into the mission — it’s tense and thrilling, every time.
Every move you make could be your last one; all it takes to ruin a flawless run is a single ill-considered plan, just one seemingly minor slip-up. With the abyss of failure forever yawning beneath 47, playing Hitman Freelancer can feel like tiptoeing along the top of a barbed-wire fence. The exultation of safely making it to the final exfiltration point, having defeated a crime syndicate after completing a lengthy series of dangerous missions, is a high I’ll keep chasing again and again. —Samit Sarkar
26. Venba
Developer: Visai Games
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
I don’t love to cook. For me, it’s more a necessity than anything else. So it’s not often that a piece of media — or anything, really — leaves me with the feeling that I need to make something, to spend time in the kitchen reveling in the tedium of chopping and the sizzle of onions frying.
Venba elicited that urge, reminding me that food is not just something to keep me alive, but something to be cherished. Venba is a cooking game that focuses on an immigrant family that’s moved from India to Canada. Food transcends the story by way of simple cooking minigames as I move through the chapters of main character Venba’s life — moments that switch between painful and heartwarming. Venba packs as much heart in its one-hour playtime as games 30 times its size. —N. Carpenter
Top 25
25. Viewfinder
Developer: Sad Owl Studios
Where to play: PlayStation 5 and Windows PC
At the heart of Viewfinder is a magic trick that never gets old: You take a photo of the environment and paste that perspective into the game world to create a bridge or reveal a needed trinket. The experience of seeing reality distorted by your hands so easily is nearly on the level of thinking with Portals for the first time. You’ll ponder a solution for minutes, sure it’s impossible and that the developers must have made a mistake, before you’re struck by a eureka moment like a lightning bolt.
The game’s lesson on perspective extends to its narrative, which, much like the photos you use to manipulate the world, contains multitudes. Though it’s told in fairly typical video game-y audio monologues that you uncover from the game’s trippy environments, the journey is powerful and topical. Just as differing perspectives can allow for unique solutions, they can also obscure truths that lead us to deny the reality that’s right in front of us. —CA
24. Humanity
Developer: tha
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
Humanity looks like a modern art project, recalls memories of early PlayStation oddity, and comes (in part) from the team behind game of the future Rez Infinite. But its most impressive feat is the way it gradually shifts genres, starting as a classic puzzle game, then taking on tower defense and shoot-’em-up traits as it evolves into an all-out war. Think Braveheart, with a shiba inu general leading a troop of faceless, brainless low-polygon figures against a group of angry, lightsaber-wielding, even lower-polygon foes. It’s the kind of design subtlety that stays in its lane yet builds on you, and before you realize it, ends very differently than it began. Much like humanity itself? —ML
23. Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo
Developer: Square Enix
Where to play: Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC
Square Enix has plenty of mega-franchises to fill its time (and its coffers). This year, we have new entries for Octopath Traveler and Final Fantasy, along with new Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts games in the not-so-distant future. Dayenu!
And yet, the publisher can’t help itself from bombarding us with surprising, interesting, sometimes great, often good-enough experiments. In 2022, we got an English-language remake of lost gem Live A Live, the surprisingly enjoyable tactical RPG DioField Chronicle, a bonkers Final Fantasy spinoff featuring the musical stylings of Limp Bizkit, and a pair of oddball card games lathered in lore from gaming’s best weirdo. This year, we have the Avengers of rhythm games, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, and Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, an excellent riff on the visual novel penned by a beloved storyteller — whose best series has never appeared in the U.S.
What should you know about Paranormasight before you play? Well, ideally nothing. Why else would I be eating up my word count?
But if you insist: It’s a mystery — and a horror mystery at that. You travel to 1980s Japan, specifically the Tokyo neighborhood of Honjo, located not so far from the modern Tokyo Skytree. It’s hard to imagine that modern landmark ever towering alongside these streets, which are filled with shadows and lethal curses.
If you have even a passing interest in urban legends, spooky folklore, cults, and deadly rituals, or you’ve enjoyed series like Zero Escape and Danganronpa, Paranormasight is an easy recommendation. And if you just enjoy a good yarn and have access to basically any screen and $15, then you’re a perfect mark too. It runs as well on console and PC as it does on iOS and Android, so don’t fret about where you play, just do so and soon! Before Square Enix stops investing in all these oddities. —Chris Plante
22. Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Developer: Firaxis Games
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
[Ed. note: Marvel’s Midnight Suns was released in 2022, but it just barely missed the cutoff for our best video games of 2022 list, so it’s eligible for our 2023 awards.]
I know what you’re thinking: Another licensed Marvel game? Come on, right? But hear me out. I played Marvel’s Avengers, too, and this isn’t that. It might seem like it’s going to be at first, because Midnight Suns makes the grave error of introducing Iron Man and Doctor Strange as its tutorial characters, and these two might just be the most irritating characters in the entire video game. (I have beaten the game, so I am allowed to make this call.) You must press on and give Midnight Suns time to win you over. Because it has so, so much more to offer than it may appear in its first few hours.
Picture the romance and humor of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, combined with the high-stakes tactical battles of XCOM 2 — that’s what Midnight Suns becomes in its mid-game and endgame. It’s a card-based strategy game, and each hero has their own customizable deck. I started off favoring Captain Marvel, Magik, and Blade, simply because their moves and hilarious dialogue kept me entertained, but I soon realized that every single character has something exciting or unexpected to bring to the battlefront. Over 100 hours later, I’ve leveled up every single character and played all the main story missions and an unknowable number of optional missions, and I’m still not sick of this combat… or the kooky cast of characters that grows all the time (shoutout to the Deadpool DLC).
No matter how sick of Marvel you might be, give Midnight Suns the chance to win you over with its clever combat. And once you’ve gotten hooked, you might find yourself sticking around to chuckle at Wolverine attending Blade’s book club (yes, that’s a storyline in this game). It’s worth your time, and you can take that from me, a person who — again — spent over 100 hours on it. —Maddy Myers
21. Honkai: Star Rail
Developer: Hoyoverse
Where to play: Android, iOS, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
I have been a... pretty die-hard Genshin Impact player since launch. I’ve rolled for every character, grinded out all of said characters, 100%-ed the exploration, completed every quest — did all the stuff that would burn anyone out. Honkai: Star Rail is Hoyoverse’s answer to the Genshin Impact burnout.
The slower-paced turn-based combat, the ability to auto-battle (if your teams are strong enough), and the smaller maps make it the perfect daily game for me to funnel my interest into without feeling exhausted. The characters are fun, flashy, and easy to latch onto. Should I main the sneaky but elegant Kafka, who uses damage-over-time skills to whittle her opponents away? Or should I use the brooding Blade, who unleashes huge attacks at the cost of his HP? Ah, I guess I’ll let my wallet decide — it is a gacha game, after all. —JL
20. Chants of Sennaar
Developer: Rundisc
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One
In Chants of Sennaar you climb up a kind of Tower of Babel, and your job is to decipher the distinct language each group of people speaks, eventually aiming to translate fluidly from one language to another. You do so by matching pictographic symbols — the characters for each language — to images of the nouns, actions, and concepts in a large dictionary-style book.
It sounds complicated, but it’s wonderfully fun because the mechanics are so simple. You explore the isometric world — which is rendered in a gorgeous cel-shaded style — witnessing interactions between cultures and attempting to puzzle out the meaning of their written words. The game parcels out words for you to assign meaning to in little packets, to avoid overwhelming you. By the end, you’ll have translated numerous languages, and scaled your way to the top of the tower. Perhaps you’ll even change the tower itself. —N. Clark
19. Metroid Prime Remastered
Developer: Retro Studios
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
Few games from 2002 hold up as well as Metroid Prime, and the remastered version of the game — which was surprise-dropped during February’s Nintendo Direct — proves that Samus Aran’s first-person adventure is still worth experiencing, whether it’s for the first time or (in my case) the fourth.
Retro Studios’ take on one of sci-fi’s most famous intergalactic bounty hunters controversially took her out of the 2D puzzle-platformer realm that made her famous (although Metroid Fusion also came out in 2002 — a gift for the 2D Metroid purists — which may also be why Fusion joined Nintendo Switch Online’s catalog shortly after Prime Remastered was released). By placing the player inside Samus’ helmet, Metroid Prime recontextualized the bounty hunter’s relationship with the hostile planets around her.
As we donned Samus’ suit and explored strange planets, aggressive alien lifeforms could now get right in our faces, forcing us to dodge, strafe, and roll (in morph ball form, naturally) using all three dimensions. No longer would we sit back and watch as Samus dipped her toe into a pool of lava; in first-person, as molten fire spread over our visor, we’d really feel the pressure to find that Varia Suit upgrade. And perhaps most importantly, from behind Samus’ visor, we gained the ability to scan our enemies and environment, collecting and translating logs from the long-dead Chozo aliens who once inhabited these now-hostile places.
The world of Prime is harsh and unrelenting. (Save points will, at times, be quite far from one another.) But it’s worth buckling down and pushing through the pain points to discover this world’s secrets. —M. Myers
18. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
Developer: Mimimi Games
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew may very well be the most bittersweet entry on this list. It is, for my money, one of the best games to be released in 2023. It is also the swan song of Mimimi Games, one of the most underappreciated studios making games throughout the last decade. Mimimi announced its planned closure only two weeks after releasing its final game. This makes The Cursed Crew its swan song. It is also the team’s magnum opus.
Set in a tropical world of zombie pirates, religious fanatics, and talking ships, The Cursed Crew sees you traveling freely across an archipelago as you revive your undead crew, deploy them on dioramic worlds constituting some of the finest level design in video games to date, and dispatching enemies with a mixture of tactical stealth and supernatural abilities. Taken at a distance, this mixture is undeniably niche. But seen up close, The Cursed Crew is as potent a creation as we’ve seen since 2016’s Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun or 2020’s Desperados 3, which respectively established and cemented the studio’s brilliant design chops. I’ll miss Mimimi — but I can’t imagine a better farewell. —M. Mahardy
17. Dredge
Developer: Black Salt Games
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
Dredge is a Lovecraftian horror experience masquerading as a simple fishing game.
The open ocean is filled with terrible creatures that can and will damage or destroy your boat. And each of the major islands you visit comes with its own evil sea beasts that must be dealt with if you want to progress the story or fish peacefully. Dredge ultimately tells a dark parable about loss, and how obsession can own you if you aren’t careful.
But what makes Dread so special — and one of the best games of 2023 — is that under its foreboding story and twisted environments is a fishing game that grows more complex with every outing, centered around an upgrade system that feels amazing to progress through. As the dangers around you grow, so too does your ship’s capabilities. And by adventuring into battles — metaphorical and otherwise — with the seas’ most dastardly critters, you’ll always come out on the other side with some upgrades that allow you to catch even better fish and build an even bigger boat.
By the time you’ve spent 10 or so hours with Dredge, you’ll feel like a commercial fisherman who just happened upon something bigger and more foreboding than they could have imagined — and that, perhaps, you’ve stared deep into some kind of black abyss, only to escape forever changed. —RG
16. Final Fantasy 16
Developer: Square Enix
Where to play: PlayStation 5
Final Fantasy 16 kicks ass. The newest mainline entry in the long, winding series takes you on a lavish, unadulterated Game of Thrones-esque adventure. You play as a broody Clive Rosfield, a young man whose life’s work is to protect his little brother, Joshua. The story begins when Clive’s life takes a turn for the worse and he vows to destroy the monster who ruined his and his family’s legacy.
Developed by Creative Business Unit III, Square Enix’s internal team behind the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, 16 leans into patchwork territories of fantasy genre fare. There is palace intrigue, a whole lot of sex, and endless war between nations. But the developers then sprinkle in Final Fantasy elements like mother crystals, dazzling kaiju fights between summons (known as Eikons in this iteration), and of course, Chocobos.
The quality of the story in this long and linear character-driven RPG waxes and wanes, but the action combat is among the best I’ve ever played. The gameplay grips you from the very beginning as Clive smoothly dashes, parries, and swings his giant sword and varied magic with a dazzling amount of style. The gameplay didn’t just help me stick with the game, but instead allowed my excitement to bubble over every time I took on a new mission. —Ana Diaz
15. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Developer: CD Projekt Red
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
Like the best DLC, Phantom Liberty does as much to expand on the base game as it does to reframe it. Alongside the sweeping Patch 2.0, which revamped Cyberpunk 2077’s role-playing progression systems, improved its enemy AI, and course-corrected a litany of other details, Phantom Liberty also adds a whole new district to the dystopian world of Night City, complete with its own spy-thriller storyline.
The resulting Cyberpunk 2077 is not an entirely different beast than the one that was released in 2020, but it is a more evolved one. It delivers on the promise of building a hacker-samurai in a neon-infused open world replete with futuristic heists, daunting choices, and striking characters. Phantom Liberty and Patch 2.0 may not completely erase the memory of CD Projekt’s initial botched release, but they come pretty damn close. Three years after we first set foot in V’s shoes, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally justified the hype. —M. Mahardy
14. Dead Space
Developer: Motive Studio
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
With The Last of Us on HBO and Resident Evil 4 back in the conversation, it’s already a banner year for survival horror. Motive Studio’s Dead Space remake is no exception. Following in the footsteps of Capcom’s aforementioned title, the original Dead Space brought the third-person-action focus of Resident Evil 4’s formula to a deteriorating ship in outer space. In the vein of Event Horizon, Sunshine, and Alien, Dead Space was a paragon for sci-fi horror in a confined and claustrophobic setting. Its remake has brought that same vision to gorgeous new life, bringing quality-of-life changes and underappreciated updates (it has made several previously useless weapons into viable tools in protagonist Isaac Clarke’s arsenal), making it hard to imagine ever going back to Visceral Games’ phenomenal original. —M. Mahardy
13. Octopath Traveler 2
Developers: Square Enix, Acquire
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
The first Octopath Traveler was one of those games that was as enjoyable to play as it was painful: enjoyable because so much of it kicked ass, but painful because so much of it dragged the positive aspects down. In other words, it stood on the precipice of excellence, but couldn’t quite cross the line.
Octopath Traveler 2 leaps across that boundary. In place of the original game’s repetitive level design, monotonous narrative structure, and sometimes awkward characterization, the sequel demonstrates an expert ability to challenge your expectations at every turn. Yes, your general goal is still to recruit eight playable characters (hence the name) and follow each of their separate plot threads to their respective conclusions, participating in turn-based battles and side quests along the way. But said plots vary greatly from character to character, and if you so choose, you can see a handful of characters through several major plot points before recruiting the whole gang. Octopath Traveler 2 finely toes the line between that comfort food-esque repetition of the best JRPGs, and the subversive nature of great genre storytelling. —M. Mahardy
12. Dave the Diver
Developer: Mintrocket
Where to play: Nintendo Switch and Windows PC
You could describe Dave the Diver as a fishing game and a restaurant management simulator, and that’d be correct. But that would also be underselling the game, and understating things quite a lot.
Diving into the mysterious Blue Hole, Dave spends the first two quarters of his day swimming deeper into the colorful abyss, discovering both sea life and a story that’s equally absurd and earnest. When you’re not picking up sea urchins or spearfishing sharks, Dave is assisting the rest of Dave the Diver’s cast of characters — his sushi business partners, a community of seafolk, an anime-obsessed weapons expert, and a pair of dolphins. At night, Dave slings sushi and pours drinks at the restaurant, frantically running back and forth between clearing dishes, delivering sushi, and refilling the freshly ground wasabi. Between all that, Dave’s harvesting rice and vegetables on a farm, curating a hatchery, racing seahorses with mermaids, and taking down a suspicious group masquerading as environmental activists. Somehow, there’s even a well-done rhythm video game — starring one of those anime idols that the arms dealer loves — that makes perfect sense.
It really shouldn’t work; I can’t imagine another game where all these disparate ideas coalesce so seamlessly. But Dave the Diver would feel less complete without any one of them. It makes for such a compelling loop, and a consistent advancement of the game’s story, that I kept finding myself in that “one more day” mindset, eager to jump back into the ocean for one more go. —N. Carpenter
11. Resident Evil 4 Remake
Developer: Capcom
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
It turns out, Capcom is good at remaking games.
The original Resident Evil remake all but set the bar for the format in 2002, with sleeker controls, more nuanced graphical details, and whole new areas to explore in the iconic Spencer Mansion. The Resident Evil 2 remake changed the entire perspective of its source material without sacrificing the focus on horror and survival. Resident Evil 3’s remake, as forgettable as it was, still brought the design conceits of the original game, warts and all, to a modern audience. And now we have Resident Evil 4 — and what a remake it is.
In this reimagined version of the 2005 action-survival-horror game, Capcom has managed to erase many of the blemishes on one of the most beloved games in the series, if not all time. The remake is full of new flourishes and extra details in each of its three sprawling areas, making it less of a remake and more of a dramatic reinterpretation. It has also managed to add even more survival elements to the original’s action-centric combat, without sacrificing the camp and cheese that have made it such an enduring presence throughout the years. A lesser game would have shrunk in the face of such intimidating source material, but the Resident Evil 4 remake achieved the balancing act in spades. —M. Mahardy
Top 10
10. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon
Developer: FromSoftware
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
Nothing else feels like Armored Core.
The giant robot you pilot heaves with the weight of a six-story building but flies into the sky as nimble as a hummingbird. You can skate along the ground, rocket into the air, and change directions in the blink of an eye. You are agile, resilient, deadly.
With your hands tightly gripping the controller, you can unload four different weapons at once, weapons you’ve picked out of an armory that could rival a small nation. You target, aim, and fire while moving faster than a fighter jet, dodging streams of missiles, arcs of gunfire, bazookas, and flames.
There have been many, many games in the franchise, but none have reached the heights of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. The levels have never had such ruined beauty, the enemies have never been as satisfying to fight, and the characters have never been more endearing. An ingenious new game plus mode packs the game’s story with surprises while you continue to build out your arsenal.
Perhaps the decades-long wait for a new Armored Core game is part of the reason, because the lessons FromSoftware learned creating and popularizing Dark Souls are evident here. Bosses now put you through dastardly skill checks in classic Soulsian fashion. Many of them tower over the landscape, making you, the pilot of a giant robot, feel small. These set-piece fights are some of the most thrilling moments you could play in a game this year. They certainly have some of the most memorable lines.
But Armored Core 6 doesn’t just get badass one-liners stuck in your head; its gameplay lingers, too. When you watch videos of it in motion, it simply makes you want to play it, to feel that movement, that motion, for yourself.
This isn’t just because the series’ energetic action is unique, but because you decide exactly how your robot feels: how quickly its missiles get a lock, how fast its generator recharges, how far you boost when you swing your laser sword. Swapping components around as you scrutinize competing weight and power requirements is an engaging puzzle all its own. You become intimately familiar with a screen-filling spreadsheet of stats because all of those numbers add up to something that feels real. Tactile. Earned.
Because nothing else feels like Armored Core. —CA
9. Jusant
Developer: Don’t Nod
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
Boulderers, or rock climbers who don’t use safety gear but also don’t ascend very high, have a word for the routes they climb: problems. The idea is that, since you’re never that far from flat ground, completing your route is more a game of mind over matter. You don’t “finish” a problem. You “solve” it. Like a puzzle.
When it comes to rock climbing, Jusant just gets it in a way few other games — if any — have.
To be clear, Don’t Nod’s Jusant isn’t technically about bouldering. (A climbing game where you’re never more than 12 feet off the ground would have precisely zero stakes.) But it’s an apt conduit for the spirit of bouldering, in that every route you traverse is a problem to solve. By alternating triggers to dictate which hand goes on which handhold, you navigate these problems. Environmental hazards and a pesky stamina wheel make things progressively trickier. You’re always clear on your heading. (It’s up.) Figuring out how to get there is another matter.
Even in games that prominently feature it, climbing is often functional, at best — whether it’s Link refusing to acknowledge handholds are a thing or Nathan Drake snapping to ledges with a level of magnetism only thought possible at CERN.
Jusant is the first and only game I’ve played that gets it — that sees the inherent grace in the sport and portrays it on the screen, not as a means of getting somewhere, but as the reason to go there in the first place. —Ari Notis
8. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Developer: Insomniac Games
Where to play: PlayStation 5
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 builds on the successes of the first game, both narratively and in its immensely satisfying gameplay. The game’s story takes a familiar Spider-Man narrative — that of friends turned foes — and adds new twists, building out compelling villains (and demanding ones) in the process. The game also sheds its predecessor’s odious Spider-Cop bits in favor of establishing a deeper connection between the Spider-Mans and their city, giving the game room to breathe while further immersing you in its heroes’ worlds and struggles.
And then there’s the gameplay. For my money, there are few experiences more enjoyable in gaming than swinging around New York City with Spider-Man. It was fun in the early 2000s, and it’s still fun now. And with a bigger map to explore (and wings to fly, if you so choose to use them), there’s basically no limit to the fun you can get up to. The deployment of two protagonists is seamless — Peter and Miles play differently, bringing their own stories and desires to the table — and switching between them is effortless. It’s also the rare open-world game that doesn’t feel bloated with missions and side quests, instead leaving you wanting more Spider adventures. —PV
7. Street Fighter 6
Developer: Capcom
Where to play: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
After getting knocked down — by a self-inflicted punch, no less — with the feeble Street Fighter 5, Capcom has hit the gym and returned stronger than before with Street Fighter 6. We rightfully called its latest Street Fighter the “ultimate fighting game toolbox” in Polygon’s review; from a robust single-player mode to solid online modes to a cast of memorable new and returning World Warriors, Street Fighter 6 is Capcom at its most confident.
For newcomers and the lapsed Street Fighter fan wary of jumping into online play, Capcom delivered World Tour mode, a robust, single-player, RPG-lite beat-’em-up in the vein of Sega’s Yakuza games. In World Tour, players hit the streets of Metro City where, hilariously, everyone in town not only knows how to fight, but relishes impromptu fisticuffs with strangers. It’s a matter of local pride.
The streets of Metro City are part training grounds, part beginning of a silly, epic worldwide adventure where you learn the basics of Street Fighter 6. Untethered from any serious game narrative canon, Street Fighter 6 lets players of all skill levels and stripes have fun in World Tour mode.
Street Fighter 6’s approachability extends to its innovative new control scheme, an addition called Modern Controls. While the six-button layout from the very first Street Fighter is still available, after multiple attempts at giving players a simplified control scheme, Capcom’s finally cracked it. Modern Controls are not only comparatively easy to grasp — they’re pretty viable competitively.
But it’s the finely honed one-on-one fighting mechanics, governed by a streamlined set of meters and flashy new moves, that give Street Fighter 6 its longevity. Thanks to a well-populated social space called the Battle Hub, and a rock-solid online infrastructure, there’s a robust community of other Street Fighter fans to battle against on a daily basis. Add a compelling new roster of characters led by classics like Ryu, Zangief, and Chun-Li, and dazzling newcomers Marisa, Manon, and Kimberly, and it’s clear why Street Fighter 6 is one of the best games of 2023, regardless of genre. —Michael McWhertor
6. Cocoon
Developer: Geometric Interactive
Where to play: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
I think I’m still trying to wrap my head around Cocoon. On the surface, the game appears to have a relatively simple premise: You play as a buglike creature that picks up and places glowing orbs to solve puzzles. However, this is where Cocoon hides its brilliant twist. Each orb functions like a world unto itself, which you can explore, or from which you can extract a new power for your bug. As you collect orbs, you thread together puzzles that will have you weaving in and out of realms in a truly mind-bending experience.
Created by Geometric Interactive, a studio founded by developers who previously worked on Limbo and Inside, Cocoon’s brain teasers unfold in a dark sci-fi world. The game goes light on a story that combines biological and mechanical philosophies alike. As you make your way through, you’ll hear the hum of engines and the moist squishy sounds of unknown creatures’ moving flesh.
Cocoon has one-off puzzles that are downright brilliant, but what makes it truly great is the sum of its parts. The pacing of each section feeds smoothly from one challenge to the next. Like the best puzzle games, Cocoon presents instances where an earlier brain teaser might serve as an unsaid tutorial that teaches you a step for a later, more complicated puzzle. Cocoon presents challenges, but it’s also just a joy to play. It is one of the most memorable puzzle games I’ve ever played. —AD
5. Pikmin 4
Developers: Nintendo EPD, Eighting
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
Pikmin 4 is like the perfect amalgamation of Pikmin games. There are fun mini-dungeon caverns, but they’re not filled with terrible bomb traps. There’s new types of Pikmin, but not at the cost of getting rid of the old ones. And there’s a dog now, and he helps corral the Pikmin and make operations run even more efficiently.
The entirety of the game is a whimsical joy to play. Even as I completed every Dandori Challenge (which actually got pretty damn hard!) and collected every item, it never became a drag or a grind. It actually might be impossible to be angry while playing this game. Hearing the little Pikmin hum as they carry a huge peach (that they call a “mock bottom”) across the map is enough to melt anyone’s heart. In fact, I was pretty sad when the game ended. I could command these little guys and my puppy friend to collect things forever.
All told, the game is beautiful, and, thanks to its quasi real-world setting, it makes me see my own world differently — there’s something special to be found everywhere, even in the tiniest corners. Maybe all my little trinkets go missing because a little guy needs it to return home. He can have it.
Even if you’ve never played a Pikmin game before, this game is good, and it’s the perfect place to start. (And then you can play all the rest of them, which have been conveniently ported to the Switch!) —JL
4. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Developer: Nintendo EPD
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
When you activate Super Mario. Bros. Wonder’s delightful whimsy — via the aptly named Wonder Flower — the game becomes more than a 2D platformer. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a musical, a quiz show, a race, or a hidden object game. Pipes become inchworms, Piranha Plants burst into song, and Yoshi becomes a goddamn dragon. Wonder is the first side-scrolling 2D platformer in the Super Mario Bros. line since New Super Mario Bros. U in 2012, and it’s both a faithful rendition of the classic format and a complete reinvention of the series’ irresistible formula.
Each and every level in Super Mario Bros. Wonder finds some new way to delight and surprise. It’s constantly introducing new ideas, enemies, and wrinkles, only to pull back on them just when it’s on the verge of becoming rote. Like everything else in the Flower Kingdom, a few enemies shift and change in bizarre ways when the Wonder Flower is activated, like Hoppo, the bouncy, round hippo equivalent that grows in size to create chaos in one of Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s many mesmerizing levels.
All of this weirdness, combined with Nintendo’s platforming expertise, makes Super Mario Bros. Wonder an entrancing romp alone, with friends, or with strangers online. This is the freshest Mario has felt in decades, and it bodes well for the iconic plumber’s 2D future. —N. Carpenter
3. Alan Wake 2
Developer: Remedy Entertainment
Where to play: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X
There’s a body in the forest with a hole in its chest. The forest, like the body, is also missing its heart, and a woman must find both. In each, there are pages. This is a story, broken into pieces, we learn. One that ended badly before. One that will likely end badly again. Will you still put it together?
Alan Wake 2 is full of words but few are in order. It is set in places of confused geography, full of people who don’t quite belong, in rooms that might be different each time you enter them. Alan Wake 2 is wrong, and you must make it right, if you can.
Remedy Entertainment’s assured masterpiece is less about stories and more about dreams — the way they can slip from frightening to absurd at a moment’s notice, about how we can get lost in them, learning from our experiences or succumbing to insecurities. How video games can mimic their shape, or lack thereof.
It is about repetition, and the way we find meaning in stories and people and places by returning to them over and over, wondering if we changed or they did.
In Alan Wake 2, everyone’s story is happening at once, branching out in endless directions, and we might not know the genre until it’s too late. It’s a hypertext mystery, an ergodic game that molds itself to an audience raised online, though few computers are in sight. It’s a game for a world suspended in an endless second act — forever wars, live services, franchises, infinite scrolls — endlessly searching for a conclusion. —JR
2. Baldur’s Gate 3
Developer: Larian Studios
Where to play: PlayStation 5 and Windows PC
Baldur’s Gate 3 hit at the perfect moment. Despite the handful of truly great computer role-playing games that have been released since the early 2000s (Larian Studios itself made waves with its Divinity: Original Sin series in 2014 and 2017), the genre has largely remained a modern niche. But times have changed: Dungeons & Dragons has undergone something of a renaissance, thanks to actual-play series like Critical Role and Dimension 20. What’s more, Larian had two years of player feedback with which to build its new masterpiece. That masterpiece launched in August, and it garnered the kind of attention that catapults a game from niche interests to widespread acclaim.
Old CRPG fans finally came home, the Mass Effect generation has discovered a new kind of RPG to sink its teeth into, and D&D fans have found an exceptional digital version of their beloved tabletop game to play alone or with their party in co-op.
Like a good DM, Baldur’s Gate 3 teases out story beats that feel personal to you, cleverly luring you into experiences that seem like they wouldn’t make sense in anyone else’s campaign. Every act delivers quiet, memorable character moments and anxiety-inducing battles. All of these situations feel organic, allowing Baldur’s Gate 3 to replicate, perhaps as closely as a video game can, Dungeons & Dragons’ best feature: the intoxicating sense that anything could happen at any moment.
The best games this year told their stories in interesting ways, be it ignoring your superpowers to bike through your old neighborhood in Queens, a musical number, or fractured memories hidden in a puddle. But Baldur’s Gate 3 takes experimental storytelling to another level. Every choice and every new direction is a simple success, fail, or crit away. One roll of the dice after another can take you all the way from a crashed Nautiloid to the city of Baldur’s Gate itself.
In a year filled with beautiful stories and powerful moments, it’s the spinning whir of Baldur’s Gate 3’s d20 that defined video game storytelling in 2023. —RG
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Developer: Nintendo EPD
Where to play: Nintendo Switch
Princess Zelda is missing. Ganondorf has returned, somehow, and he’s really hot. So an age-old hero in a green tunic has to step in. We all know the beats — how could you possibly make that into anything new?
Tears of the Kingdom definitely didn’t seem like it was poised to make that happen: a sequel to one of the most popular Zelda games ever made, originally conceived as DLC, and built on the same map. Yet, it is something else entirely. It’s not just that Breath of the Wild was a rough draft for Tears of the Kingdom — it’s that the entire Zelda series was a collection of stepping stones that led in winding, influential pathways to this wacky, wonderful, and thoroughly new world of Hyrule.
I mean, Ultrahand alone. Just absolutely slathering pieces of wood in what amounts to magical Gorilla Glue and watching in wonder as the game’s physics engine roars to life in response. I went into Tears of the Kingdom thinking I wouldn’t build much — I’d just follow the story and get through it; I left feeling like a genius engineer, building all manner of bizarre contraptions (but mostly long bridges) to sail through skies and trundle over mountaintops.
I still catch my breath remembering that first time diving deep into the darkness of the Depths — the amazement I felt upon discovering a whole other world underneath the one I knew, filled with skeleton horses and gloom-splattered Bokoblins.
And I remember when I realized where Princess Zelda really was… and then, many hours later, learning where she really was.
I never wanted to stop playing Tears of the Kingdom. I did stop, eventually — the year of 2023 in video games has spoiled us all with hearty meals and sweet desserts — but I never stopped thinking about it. Every now and then, I picked my Switch back up to seek out another Lightroot, or solve another shrine’s puzzle, until there were none left. And then I’d just wander, collecting ingredients, talking to Great Fairies, imagining the next adventure.
Tears of the Kingdom feels like someone holding my hands very close as they lean in to whisper, with eyes twinkling, “Can I tell you something?” The ride was wild; I laughed, I cried. And I can’t wait for the next time, when it’s completely different. —M. Myers | ||||

] | 2024-08-07T10:14:00 | We catch up with Duchess co-writer/director Neil Marshall to discuss his new action-crime thriller, learning about his collaboration with Charlotte Kirk, shooting fight scenes, and a possible sequel. | en | /favicon.ico | ComicBookMovie.com | https://comicbookmovie.com/action/duchess-interview-filmmaker-neil-marshall-on-creating-a-badass-new-female-action-hero-exclusive-a212537 | Many of you will likely know filmmaker Neil Marshall best for movies like Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and Doomsday before he shifted gears to television where he received widespread acclaim for helming episodes of Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and more.
On the superhero side, he worked on NBC's well-received (and, unfortunately, short-lived) Constantine TV series and later helmed 2019's Hellboy reboot starring David Harbour. Now, though, he's taken the helm of Duchess, an action-packed new British action-crime thriller starring - and co-written and produced by - Charlotte Kirk.
"It doesn't add pressure because I didn't necessarily set out to make an iconic character," Marshall tells us in the video below when asked about adding Scarlett, a.k.a. The Duchess, to the pantheon of iconic female action heroes. "It's in the back of your mind that it would be very nice if it happened and it still would be. That's going to be down to the audience and the public and their response to the movie."
"You can't plan for that, but certainly, just by creating a character like Scarlett in this kind of story, it has potential, I suppose. We'll see!"
As for whether he believes Duchess has franchise potential, the filmmaker added, "Sure. I think there's always a chance a character could go on...I've seen a few films that have deliberately set themselves up 'Part One' and something goes wrong with them, it doesn't work out, and it's such a shame. It's better to do this as a standalone and it could go on if necessary..."

] | 2023-10-18T12:00:00-07:00 | The iPhone has arguably the best games of any mobile platform. Come check out our picks of the best iPhone and iPad games, with selections from many genres. | en | Digital Trends | https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-iphone-games/ | When you have the best iPhone, you pretty much have infinite possibilities for keepingbusy and entertained, no matter where you are. Sure, the iPhone may not be marketed as a gaming phone specifically, but it’s pretty powerful — especially with the A17 Pro in the latest iPhone 15 Pro. That new processor means the Apple mobile gaming experience is only getting better and better, with Apple’s new chip being able to play console-level games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the Resident Evil 4 remake.
While those games aren’t available yet, there’s no shortage of great games to play. But when the App Store has over a million apps, how are you supposed to find the best games to play? Don’t worry — we’re here to help! Since there are a ton of games out there — and not every game is a winner — it’s definitely hard to find games that are worth your time and energy. Whether you’re looking for a simple match 3, an MMORPG, a dungeon crawler, or even something to just relax with, here are the best iPhone games you can play right now.
Most, if not all, of the titles we are recommending will work on any iPhone that has iOS 17 on it, which goes as far back to the iPhone XS. If you’re still on iOS 15 or 16, then you should also be fine with these titles. Make sure to also check out our list of the best iPhone apps. And if you’re an Android user, don’t miss our best Android games roundup.
Call of Duty: Mobile
Assassin’s Creed and Resident Evil may only just be making their way to iOS, but Call of Duty: Mobile has been delivering a console-like experience for years now. If you want to get your shooting on, then here is a great place to start. You control the game with the on-screen buttons and joystick, and while it takes a little getting used to, it becomes natural fairly fast. Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t short of updates either, with new seasonal events and updates dropping very regularly, so you don’t need to worry about running out of content or getting bored easily. Support for the game goes all the way back to the first iPhone SE and iPhone 6S, so it’s available for most iOS users out there. It’s free to play, but it has microtransactions.
iOS
Clash of Clans
It’s one of the most popular classic games on iOS, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t include Clash of Clans on here. You’ve probably played it or something like it, but it’s always good to jump back in and see what’s new. For the uninitiated, Clash of Clans has you build your own cartoon village, collect resources, and gradually build it up over time. You can also join with other players to attack opposing clans and become involved in massive wars across the globe. It’s free-to-play, but you can pay for boosts and all the usual microtransactions.
iOS
Dumb Ways to Die 4
It’s huge on TikTok, and for good reason: Dumb Ways to Die 4 is a collection of fun minigames where your challenge is to stop your bean from dying. This is, unsurprisingly, the fourth major release in the Dumb Ways to Die canon, but you don’t need to worry that the developers are running out of ideas. There’s a big new collection of minigames to solve and beans to save, collect, and upgrade. You can even go online and challenge your friends and family to see who can survive for the longest. It’s free, but you can pay to remove ads and get extra in-game currency.
iOS
CarX Street
Racing games are one of the best showcases of a phone’s graphical abilities, but it’s not all about the good looks. CarX Street puts you in the shoes of a street racer in a dynamic open world. Take up races, beat your rivals, and become the best driver in the city. There’s an intricate car upgrade system, and you can tune your car for certain races, tune up the specs, and change the style and design too. It works best with the iPhone X or newer due to the memory demands.
iOS
My Singing Monsters
If we asked you, “What do monsters do?” you probably wouldn’t reply, “Sing, of course!” Regardless, that’s what your monsters in My Singing Monsters do. Collect and breed up to 250 monsters on your island, and hear your song change and grow over time. Add decorations to customize your island, and you can play with friends around the world and partake in worldwide events all year around. It’s free-to-play but does have microtransactions.
iOS
Stick Fight: Shadow Warrior
Live that kung fu film dream and fight off hordes of enemies with your martial arts skills in Stick Fight: Shadow Warrior. Endless waves of foes will spawn, and it’s up to you to survive for as long as you can. Take on boss samurais to unlock rewards, and take on more difficult levels. As you fight, you also unlock cool new cosmetics and items, so your stick fighting can look even cooler. A fun casual fighting game that’s ideal for bored fingers.
iOS
Marvel Snap
Marvel seems to be really enjoying releasing mobile games these days, as Marvel Snap is only the latest of a number we’ve had thrown at us recently. Still, it’s really good and well worth your attention. Essentially a card battling game, Marvel Snap is fast-paced, and battles rarely lost longer than a few minutes. Gameplay is simple: Each of your cards has a strength number, and your job is to place them into any one of three lanes facing your opponent. If your number is higher, you win! But watch out, more than a few cards have special powers that can swing lanes in an instant, so you need to make sure you’re playing the right cards at the right moments. It’s free to play, but you can pay to get access to in-game currency and new cards.
iOS
Among Us!
It’s a classic, and it’s back on our list. Among Us! is one of the best hidden killer, mafia-style games around, and it’s brilliantly suited to being played on mobile. Work together with four to 15 players to get your ship ready for launch — but there’s a twist! A number of players are secretly Imposters who want to murder everyone else on the team. Your job, if you’re not an Imposter, is to fix your ship while also figuring out who the Imposters are. Seeing them enter vents, doing things they shouldn’t, or just murdering people are clues you should be looking out for — but keep in mind you’ll need to convince everyone else you’re not lying …
iOS
Airport Simulator: First Class
Apparently, we’re a little addicted to plane games at the moment, but this time you’re not flying one, you’re giving them somewhere to land. Airport Simulator: First Class puts you in charge of an airport. Build it up, sign up airlines to your amazing new airport, and make sure everything is in place for all of your customers. There’s a lot to juggle here, but if you love management games then there’s a lot to love here. It’s free-to-play, but there are the usual in-game boosts for real money, so avoid this if you don’t like those.
iOS
Stumble Guys
Stumble Guys may seem a little familiar if you’re a fan of battle royale party games, but that doesn’t detract from how much fun it is. Stumble Guys is an online multiplayer party game where you go up against 31 other players in a bid to be the last person standing in a series of fun games. Knock your rivals off the stage and reach the end first to win. It’s a lot of fun, with lots of different levels to tackle. It’s especially fun if you get a bunch of friends together to play — and then knock them all out and take the win yourself.
iOS
Cell to Singularity: Evolution
The idle game genre is an interesting one and something that’s largely exclusive to the smartphone. Cell to Singularity: Evolution starts with the humble amino acid in a simulation, ruled over and overseen by yourself. Tap the screen to increase your resources, or just leave your phone alone for a while and let them build up by themselves. Use the points gained to upgrade those acids into DNA, single cells, multiple-celled organisms, and beyond. There’s a simple pleasure to watching the numbers increase, and eventually, you’ll be able to unlock the dinosaur and galaxy simulations as well. Restart each simulation to access upgrades and, well, keep making numbers bigger. If you don’t get it, you’ll be confused about why these games are so popular, but if you’re a fan, you’ll love this.
iOS
Hearthstone
It’s the biggest and (arguably) the best digital collectible card game on mobile, so if you love playing competitive card games, then Hearthstone is a must-download. The premise is simple — play minions and cast spells to control the gameboard, and eventually, punch your opponent in the face until they lose. But there’s a depth to this simple premise, and you can spend hours finely tweaking your decks to adapt to the latest meta. It’s free to play, and you can buy card packs using the in-game currency and earn powerful cards through the in-game rewards track. However, you’re going to be encouraged to spend money to get more cards quickly, so gird your wallet if you’re diving in head-first.
iOS
The Lord of the Rings: War
The Rings of Power has reignited our love for everything Tolkien, so why not play a game set in the same universe? The Lord of the Rings: War is set in Tolkien’s beloved fantasy creation and puts you in the shoes of a faction of Middle-earth. Fight against the other factions for the One Ring, recruit new commanders, and even forge your very own ring of power. A large amount of Middle-earth is available to adventure through as you build your team and create an enormous army. It’s free to play, but it does have microtransactions.
iOS
Games of Thrones: Conquest
Game of Thrones is back in the public eye with the release of House of the Dragon, and if you can’t get enough of everyone’s favorite quasi-medieval series, then you should try out Game of Thrones: Conquest. If you’ve played any city builders before, then the format will be familiar to you — gather resources, fortify your army, and create buildings. As you might expect, given the lore, you’re given a dragon to raise and protect, and you’ll be able to use it with your armies to expand your influence and create great alliances. You can also gather hero cards and assign them to your council to get bonuses.
iOS
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle
Dragon Ball Z holds a special place in many people’s hearts, and there’s no shortage of games set in Akira Toriyama’s manga-turned-anime. Dokkan Battle is a slightly different twist on the franchise’s formula, and while the high-octane, chi-fueled battles remain, they’re through the medium of matching colored orbs. Tap the right orb to send your energy up to your enemy and hit them with super-strong special moves. It’s difficult to explain but easy to pick up and worth a quick download if you’re interested in the legendary series.
iOS
Red’s First Flight
Ignore the terrible name — this is Angry Birds. Yes, the original version, with no in-app purchases and nothing to distract from the sheer joy of destruction. Take apart the precarious fortresses of those greedy pigs with nothing but the noggins of your furious avian friends and, if needed, the Mighty Eagle as a backup. You’ve probably played this before and saw the original you loved disappear behind troves of microtransactions and “upgrades.” Pay your dollar, go back to the original, and just enjoy the simple fun of Angry Birds.
iOS
Northgard
We’re big lovers of large beardy people in pointy helmets around here, and Northgard is just the game we’ve been waiting for. Northgard is a survival game, but instead of controlling a single, beleaguered explorer, you control a group of Vikings looking for new lands. Manage your scarce resources and Vikings carefully, as you’ll need to balance both in order to survive this harsh land of undead warriors and dire wolves. There’s a multiplayer mode and a single-player storyline, and you’ll need to master the different skills of the six clans in order to conquer both. While it’s on the expensive side for an iOS game, there’s no doubt that Northgard offers hours of fun for just $7.
iOS
Albion Online
MMORPGs are nothing new, but what about an MMORPG that can be played on a PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device? With the same account and the same characters? Add a completely player-driven economy, a class-less system where your class is dictated by your outfit, and an endgame that lets guilds compete for vast swathes of Albion in enormous open-world battles and you’ve got a game that is very interesting indeed. If nothing else, it’s worth experimenting with. Albion Online is free-to-play, but as you might have guessed, it has paid elements and a premium subscription for the truly hooked.
iOS
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
A PC gaming staple, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is now an exceptionally good iOS game as well. While it’s easier to enjoy on a larger screen, like on an iPad, it still works extremely well on an iPhone. The game puts you in charge of an emerging historical civilization, and you must make the big decisions that decide whether your people spread and flourish, or struggle and diminish. Start in the stone age, and develop your technology, taking your civilization through thousands of years, until you’re capable of putting people on Mars. It’s free for the first 60 turns but costs $10 to upgrade to the full game.
iOS
Zombie Gunship Survival
Surviving the zombie apocalypse is a genre we’ve encountered many times before, but we doubt you’ve ever faced it from the gunning position of an AC-130 gunship. Zombie Gunship Survival is the perfect antidote if you’re sick of slowly building up your resources and hitting zombies with sticks. Instead, jump straight into your gunship and blow them all to kingdom come. Build up your airbase to defend against zombie attacks, and personally lead your troops in tactical operations against the dead. Some reviews complain about microtransactions, but others mention it’s a fairly light touch compared to other games. Worth the download for something new.
iOS
Sim Companies
Reckon you could run a great business, if only you were given the chance? Give it a go in Sim Companies. Specialize your company in a number of different ways, and test your capitalist skills against other players as you battle to become the top dog. Your success will come down to how well you can watch the virtual economy and watch out for trends you can take advantage of. It’s free-to-play, but there are microtransactions.
iOS
Infinite Flight Simulator
The humble flight sim is one of PC gaming’s finest traditions, and it’s now arrived on your iOS (or iPadOS) device. There’s almost too much to do here to list, and pretty much everything you expect from a flight sim you’ll get here. Sure, it’s a bit overwhelming at first, but flying a plane isn’t easy, and neither is Infinite Flight Simulator. You can also fly in multiplayer or play as a flight controller, though you’ll need to pay for a Pro subscription for that at the cost of $10 a month. Still, flying a basic plane is free, and it offers everything you need to know whether this is your jam or not.
iOS
Diablo Immortal
The game infamously revealed with the words “do you guys not have phones?” has finally launched, and despite the outcry, it’s actually pretty good. Diablo Immortal is here, and if you’re a fan of the Diablo games or anything similar, then you’re sure to love it. The genius here is that this isn’t some cheap mobile imitation — this is a fully-fledged Diablo game in all its glory, and that makes a serious difference. Alright, it’s rammed to the gills with microtransactions, but if you want to sample the game everyone is talking about, then you’ll just have to hold your nose.
iOS
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Star Wars is a huge franchise at the moment, thanks to Kenobi, so why not enjoy a great Star Wars game? Star Wars: TCS is a port of the 2007 Lego Star Wars game of the same name and has content from Star Wars I to Star Wars VI, so don’t expect anything from the sequel trilogy in this. But regardless of that, you get to play through the six mainline movies, starting in the Trade Federation negotiations and fighting your way through to the second Death Star above Endor. There are over 120 characters to play, and you’ll need to use other characters’ strengths to get all the secrets in every level. It’s free to start playing, with Episode I unlocked for free. Subsequent episodes will cost money, though you can buy the full game for $7.
iOS
Square Valley
Square Valley puts you in the shoes of the Spirit of Valley, whose purpose is to take a square of land and make it habitable for incoming villagers. You’ll need to place houses for them to live in, animals to farm, rivers for water, and trees for wood. The trick is that each portion of the land can only take certain tiles, so you’ll need to balance what you place where. It’s a fun and engaging concept, and one that should tickle puzzle lovers for hours. A bargain for just $2.
iOS
Medieval II: Total War
Older gamers will remember when games like Medieval II: Total War was new and technically demanding — and now, you can play them on your iPhone or iPad. It costs a princely sum of $15 to buy, but there’s a full PC game here, and one that’s been converted rather well. Play as one of 17 playable factions, and fight, scheme, and trade your way to building your empire. Like Rome: Total War, the battle gameplay takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s just as easy to use as on the PC.
iOS
PUBG Mobile
You might think of PUBG Mobile as being a buttoned-up, brown version of Fortnite‘s colorful explosion, but that’s not the case. The fourth anniversary of PUBG Mobile‘s brought with it a number of new features. There’s a vibrantly colorful theme, colorful bicycles, and an aerial battlefield mode that’s utterly bonkers and unlike anything else you’ve seen in a battle royale game. Other than that, you can still find the classic gameplay you love, along with 10-minute matches, and a massive range of aesthetic items to collect and wear.
iOS
ARK: Survival Evolved
What’s better than a survival game on your iPhone or iPad? A survival game on your iPhone or iPad with dinosaurs! ARK: Survival Evolved is now something of a classic of the survival genre, and it’s easy to see why it’s still around when so many other games have dropped off the radar. You’ll start the game by, well, surviving — but once you have that solid base in place, you can start to set your sights a little higher. Create a home all your own, and train, tame, and even ride over 80 different dinosaurs.
iOS
Fill the Fridge!
There are few games so easily described by their title but Fill the Fridge! is exactly what it sounds like. Fill your fridge with delicious goodies that are currently not in your fridge. Weirdly, dragging your finger along to place goods becomes quite compulsive and fun, and, if you’re anything like us, you’ll find yourself playing for far longer than you’d originally intended. It starts out simply, but levels soon become fiendishly difficult and require some quite precise button presses to accomplish.
iOS
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Sitting alongside Pokémon as the childhood game of choice for many people, Yu-Gi-Oh can now be enjoyed on your iPhone or iPad. Duel Links has a strong tutorial in order to teach you the rules, so don’t worry if you’ve never played before, or are a little rusty. There are microtransactions, but they’re not required to progress, and you can get a lot of free cards from playing the in-game events. A good choice if you’re curious about playing a collectible card game, are an existing Yu-Gi-Oh player, or simply want to indulge in some nostalgia.
iOS
Mario Kart Tour
Who doesn’t love Mario and his happy band of friends and foes? Mario Kart Tour is the mobile version of the madly popular and decade-spanning Mario Kart series. It’s a simple formula — choose a character and race against other characters, whether A.I.-controlled or player-controlled — and aim to take first place. Win races, collect stars, and unlock new characters, karts, and badges. It’s free to play but has optional paid elements. | |||||

Not to be confused with Conami or Konani.
For other uses, see Konami (disambiguation).
Konami Group Corporation (Japanese: コナミグループ株式会社, Hepburn: Konami Gurūpu kabushiki-gaisha), commonly known as Konami,[nb 1] is a Japanese multinational entertainment company and video game developer and publisher headquartered in Chūō, Tokyo. The company also produces and distributes trading cards, anime, tokusatsu, pachinko machines, slot machines, and arcade cabinets. It has casinos around the world, and operates health and physical fitness clubs across Japan.
Konami's video game franchises include Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Castlevania, Contra, Frogger, Tokimeki Memorial, Parodius, Gradius, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Suikoden, and eFootball. Additionally, Konami owns Bemani, known for Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania, as well as the assets of former game developer Hudson Soft, known for Bomberman, Adventure Island, Bonk, Bloody Roar, and Star Soldier. Konami is the nineteenth-largest game company in the world by revenue.[7][unreliable source?] Konami also publishes the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, the best-selling TCG in history.
The company originated in 1969 as a jukebox rental and repair business in Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan, by Kagemasa Kōzuki, who remains the company's chairman. The name Konami is a portmanteau of the names of three founding members: Kagemasa Kōzuki, Yoshinobu Nakama, and Tatsuo Miyasako.[8][unreliable source?]
Konami is headquartered in Tokyo. In the United States, Konami manages its digital/arcade/trading card game business from Hawthorne, California, and its casino gaming business from Paradise, Nevada. Its Australian gaming operations are in Sydney. As of March 2019, it owns 22 consolidated subsidiaries around the world.[3]
History
[edit]
The company was founded on 21 March 1969 and was officially incorporated under the name Konami Industry Co., Ltd. (コナミ工業株式会社, Konami Kōgyō kabushiki gaisha) on 19 March 1973.[10][11] The company's founder and chairman, Kagemasa Kōzuki (also known as Kaz Kozuki),[12] ran a jukebox rental and repair business in Toyonaka, Osaka, before transforming the business into a manufacturer of amusement machines for video arcades. Their first coin-operated video game was released in 1978, and they began exporting products to the United States the following year.[13][14][unreliable source?]
Konami began to achieve success with arcade games in the early 1980s, starting with Scramble (1981), followed by hits such as Frogger (1981), Super Cobra (1981), Time Pilot (1982), Roc'n Rope (1983), Track & Field (1983), and Yie Ar Kung-Fu (1985).[12] Many of their early games were licensed to other companies for US release, including Centuri, Stern Electronics, Sega, and Gremlin Industries. They established their U.S. subsidiary, Konami Inc. (later Konami of America Inc., and Konami Digital Entertainment Inc.), in November 1982;[15][non-primary source needed] initially based in Torrance, California, they would later move to Buffalo Grove, Illinois, in 1984 following their acquisition of arcade distributor Interlogic, Inc., with Interlogic founder and president Ben Harel serving as president of Konami Inc.[16] It was during this period that Konami began expanding their video game business into the home consumer market following a brief stint releasing video games for the Atari 2600 in 1982 for the U.S. market.[17] The company released numerous games for the MSX home computer standard in 1983, followed by the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985.[18][19][non-primary source needed] Numerous Konami franchises were established during this period on both platforms, as well as the arcades, such as Gradius, Castlevania, Twin Bee, Ganbare Goemon, Contra, and Metal Gear, in addition to success with hit licensed games such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). Due to the success of their arcade and NES games, Konami's earnings grew from $10 million in 1987 to $300 million in 1991.[20] The first TMNT arcade game (1989) was Konami's highest-grossing arcade game.[21]
In June 1991, Konami's legal name was changed to Konami Co., Ltd. (コナミ株式会社, Konami kabushiki gaisha) and their headquarters were relocated to Minato, Tokyo, in April 1993.[13][non-primary source needed] The company started supporting the 16-bit video game consoles during this period, starting with the Super NES in 1990, followed by the PC Engine in 1991, and the Sega Genesis in 1992.
After the launch of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1994, Konami became a business divisional organization with the formation of various Konami Computer Entertainment (KCE) subsidiaries, starting with KCE Tokyo and KCE Osaka (later known as KCE Studios) in April 1995, followed by KCE Japan (later known as Kojima Productions) in April 1996. Each KCE subsidiary created different intellectual properties such as KCE Tokyo's Silent Hill series and KCE Japan's Metal Gear Solid series (a revival of the Metal Gear series on MSX). In 1997, Konami started producing rhythm games for arcades under the Bemani brand and branched off into the collectible card game business with the launch of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.[22][23] Konami was not only known for its card games, it also imported into the Pachinko business. Pachinko played a huge role in Konami's success as it started to popularize new never before seen characters.[24]
In July 2000, the company's legal English name was changed to Konami Corporation, but the Japanese legal name remained the same. As the company transitioned into developing video games for the sixth-generation consoles, they branched out into the health and fitness business acquiring People Co., Ltd and Daiei Olympic Sports Club, Inc. which became Konami subsidiaries. In August 2001, the company invested in another video game publisher, Hudson Soft, which became a consolidated subsidiary after Konami accepted new third-party shares issued by them. In January 2003, Avranches Automatique began handling sales of Konami's arcade games in Europe outside the U.K. and Ireland.[25] On February 7, 2003, Betson Enterprises took over distribution and service for Konami's arcade games in the U.S.[26][27][28] Some time later, PMT Sales started handling Konami arcade game sales in the U.K. and Ireland.[25] In March 2006, Konami merged all their video game development divisions into a new subsidiary known as Konami Digital Entertainment Co. (KDE), as the parent company became a pure holding company. Their headquarters were relocated to Minato, Tokyo, in 2007.[13] On January 20, 2009, Electrocoin became the exclusive distributor and after-sale agent of Konami's arcade games in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa.[29][30]
The absorption of Hudson Soft in 2012 resulted in the addition of several other franchises including: Adventure Island, Bonk, Bloody Roar, Bomberman, Far East of Eden, and Star Soldier.[31][32]
In April 2015, Konami delisted itself from the New York Stock Exchange following the dissolution of their Kojima Productions subsidiary.[33] In a translated interview with Nikkei Trendy Net published in the following month, the newly appointed president of Konami's gaming division, Konami Digital Entertainment, Hideki Hayakawa, announced that Konami would shift their focus towards mobile gaming for a while, claiming that "mobile is where the future of gaming lies."[34] The trade name of the company was changed from Konami Corporation to Konami Holdings Corporation during the same month.[35][non-primary source needed] Konami consolidated its productions teams established in 2004 into their headquarters, including Pawapuro Production, BEMANI Production, Virtual Kiss Production, Loveplus Production, Kojima Productions and others, that year.

The new offices, located in the Umeda Sky Building south building, will support the developer in its efforts both grow and endure over the coming decades. Konami suggested that the new building would be a core entity in the studio's current and future projects, noting that it hopes Konami Osaka will encourage "sustainable growth" over the next 50 years.[39]
In February 2024, Konami Digital Entertainment announced the establishment of its own anime studio called Konami Animation. The studio will invest the CG technology and know-how it fostered from game development into animation, and it plans not only to work on Konami's own intellectual properties but in other properties as well. Its first work was a PV for Yu-Gi-Oh! 25th anniversary.[40]

Video games
[edit]
Main article: List of Konami games
Major titles by Konami include the action Castlevania series, the survival horror Silent Hill series, the action shooter Contra series, the platform adventure Ganbare Goemon series, the stealth action Metal Gear series, the role-playing Suikoden series, the Bemani rhythm game series (which includes Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania IIDX, GuitarFreaks, DrumMania, and Pop'n Music, among others), Dancing with the Stars, the dating simulation Tokimeki Memorial series, and football simulation Pro Evolution Soccer.[67]
Konami produced its shoot 'em up arcade games such as Gradius, Life Force, Time Pilot, Gyruss, Parodius, Axelay, and TwinBee. Konami's also licenses games based on cartoons, especially Batman: The Animated Series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tiny Toon Adventures, and the Animaniacs series, but other American productions like The Simpsons, Bucky O'Hare, G.I. Joe, X-Men, and The Goonies, and French comic Asterix all have seen release at some point in the past by Konami either on arcades and/or video game consoles.
Some cinematically styled franchises from Konami are Silent Hill survival horror franchise, and the Metal Gear series. Another successful franchise is Winning Eleven, the spiritual sequel to International Superstar Soccer. In Japan, it is known for the popular Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series baseball series and the Zone of the Enders games. The company had obtained the rights to Saw from Brash Entertainment when the game's production had been suspended due to financial issues.[68]
Konami is known for its password, the Konami Code, which traditionally gives many power-ups in its games.
Film production
[edit]
In 2006, Konami started producing films based on their franchises. Konami produced the Silent Hill film (released in 2006) and announced that they will produce a Metal Gear Solid film.[69] On 4 December 2020 Deadline reported that Oscar Isaac will star as Solid Snake in the adaptation, which is currently in development at Sony Pictures with Jordan Vogt-Roberts on board to direct.[70]
Personal computing
[edit]
In 2020, Konami launched a PC gaming brand in Japan known as Arespear, which includes desktop computers, keyboards, and headsets (the last of which designed in collaboration with Konami's Bemani musicians).[71][72][73]
Controversies
[edit]
Silent Hills and reduced video game development
[edit]
Silent Hills, set to be the ninth installment of the Silent Hill video game series, was abruptly cancelled in April 2015 without explanation despite the critical acclaim and success of P.T., a playable teaser.[74][75] Hours after the announcement, Konami delisted itself from the New York Stock Exchange.[33]
Game co-director and writer Guillermo del Toro publicly criticized the cancellation as not making any sense and questioned what he described as a "scorched earth" approach to removing the trailer. Due to the experience, del Toro stated that he would never work on another video game.[76][77]
In 2015 Konami Digital Entertainment CEO Hideki Hayakawa announced that, with few exceptions, Konami would stop making console games and instead focus on the mobile gaming platform. The decision was heavily criticized by the video gaming community.[78][79][80][81][82][83] Konami UK community manager Graham Day soon after pushed back against the reporting that Konami would cease AAA game production, stating that he believed the root of the problem to be either a mistranslation or a misinterpretation of Hayakawa's remarks.[84]
Kojima Productions
[edit]
Further information: Kojima Productions § Closure
On 3 March 2015, Konami announced they would be shifting focus away from individual studios, notably Kojima Productions. Internal sources claimed the restructure was due to a clash between Hideo Kojima and Konami.[85][86] References to Kojima were soon stripped from marketing material, and Kojima's position as an executive vice president of Konami Digital Entertainment was removed from the company's official listing of executives.[87]
Later that year, Konami's legal department barred Kojima from accepting the award for Best Action-Adventure for his work on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain at The Game Awards 2015. When announced during the event, the audience booed in disapproval of Konami's actions. Host Geoff Keighley expressed his disappointment in Konami's actions. After actor Kiefer Sutherland accepted the award in Kojima's stead, a choir sang "Quiet's Theme" from The Phantom Pain as a tribute to the absent Kojima.[88][89][90] Kojima left Konami several days afterwards, re-opening Kojima Productions as an independent company.
Treatment of employees and ex-employees
[edit]
In August 2015, The Nikkei criticized Konami for its unethical treatment of employees.[91][92][93] In June 2017, The Nikkei further reported on Konami's continued clashes with Kojima Productions, preventing the studio's application for health insurance, as well as Konami's actions in making it difficult for former employees to get future jobs; they are notably forbidden from mentioning their work with Konami on their résumés.[94][95] Konami also started filing complaints against other game companies that hired ex-Konami employees, leading to an unspecified major game company warning its staff against doing so. A former employee of Konami stated: "If an ex-[Konami employee] is interviewed by the media, the company will send that person a letter through a legal representative, in some cases indicating that Konami is willing to take them to court"; they also pressured an ex-employee into closing their new business.[95]

] | 2024-06-12T00:00:00 | The Army’s latest effort to increase support for soldiers’ families is a new program to reimburse spouses up to $1,000 for costs associated with the relocation of their businesses. | en | /favicon.ico | Stars and Stripes | https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/2024-06-12/army-reimburse-spouse-business-relocation-expenses-14156006.html | The Army will now reimburse soldiers up to $1,000 for costs associated with the relocation of their spouses’ businesses.
The new program covers all spouses who owned their businesses and were married to their soldier prior to a permanent change of station, or PCS, according to a May 20 memorandum.
The program is the latest Army effort to increase its support of soldiers’ families. A similar program first took effect in 2018 under an Army directive offering a maximum $1,000 reimbursement for spouses who transferred professional licenses to a new area because of a PCS.
The program has been updated several times since then, with the latest expanding coverage to include some business-related relocation fees.
“Support from spouses is essential for their Soldiers’ successful and continued service,” Army spokeswoman Ellen Lovett told Stars and Stripes in an email Friday. “The Army is committed to helping spouses achieve their career goals, which is part of our ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life and financial stability of our families.”
To take advantage of the new program, the soldier and spouse must submit required documents to their unit finance office, which will process the request.
The documents include a copy of the soldier’s PCS orders, a copy of the spouse’s previous professional license or certification or their previous business license or permit, a copy of their new license or certification and proof of fees paid for the new license, certification or recertification. If the spouse relocated a business, a copy of the business license from the new duty station must be provided to be reimbursed.
“The goal is to send reimbursements as soon as possible,” Lovett wrote. “The process will be expedited when Soldiers and units provide the required documents for the approving official.”
The program is not limited to moves within the United States. Soldiers who PCS to an overseas location with their spouses can be reimbursed for fees required for their spouses to get licensed and certified or operate their business in the host country so long as they held a valid U.S. version of that professional license or owned their business before the PCS.
“This program applies to all spouses, regardless of nationality or citizenship, as long as they were married to their service member prior to the PCS,” Lovett said. | ||||

Phil Ryan, the commander of U.S. Army South, or USARSOUTH, was promoted to major general during a ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort | en | /Portals/102/favicon.ico?ver=d9zj-Z-0epyD0LqpNyNEfA%3d%3d | Joint Base San Antonio | https://www.jbsa.mil/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jbsa.mil%2FNews%2FNews%2FArticle%2F3862991%2Fbrig-gen-phil-ryan-promoted-to-major-general-by-fellow-night-stalker-lt-gen-joh%2F | In the company of family, friends, and colleagues, Brig. Gen. Phil Ryan, the commander of U.S. Army South, or USARSOUTH, was promoted to major general during a ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, on Aug. 5.
Lt. Gen. John Evans Jr., the commander of U.S. Army North and the presiding officer for the ceremony, called Ryan’s promotion a “well-deserved recognition of his continued potential and his leadership.”
Evans emphasized the importance of his leadership following his most recent position as the commander of Special Operations Joint Task Force-Levant, Operation INHERENT RESOLVE in Jordan.
“His leadership was critical in that role,” Evans explained. “As it has been all along the way for the Soldiers, the Civilians, and the Family members who have been blessed to be a part of his command.”
Evans emphasized his trust in Ryan’s potential in his current position at USARSOUTH.
“As the senior commander here, I understand how important and incredibly critical the roles are in the tenant commands here and what you’re doing as an Army Service Component Command to U.S. Southern Command,” Evans stated. “I know if Gen. [Laura] Richardson were here, she would tell you the same thing, as she has great faith and confidence in what you’re doing for the team. I will sleep better at night knowing that you are at the helm here.”
After Ryan’s wife pinned on his major general rank, Evans administered the Oath of Office, and Command Sgt. Maj. Ronald Graves, USARSOUTH senior enlisted advisor, unfurled the two-star flag.
“The important thing about our officer oath is that it is not to a head of state, a political body, or establishment; it is to the Constitution itself, and the embodiment of the Constitution is you: the American people, your families, and the people that we serve every day,” Evans said, pointing to the audience. “He’s said it many times before, and I hope it has a special meaning for you today as you say it as a two-star general.”
Expressing personal sentiments, Evan spoke on the opportunity he was given to watch Ryan grow through some challenging times in their organization prior to Sept. 11, 2001.
“I’ve had the opportunity to watch Phil from a very early age and see the fine caliber of officer he was, his capabilities, and how he continued to excel,” Evans added. “It means a lot to me to be able to do this. It is incredibly humbling and thankfully, very special for me to be able to promote a friend and a fellow Night Stalker.”
Evans and Ryan are fellow aviators who have served together numerous times in the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), nicknamed The Night Stalkers.
“To have followed, twice we moved and in three different commands, I don’t think there is an officer in the Army that I’ve actually served in the same unit with for as long as you,” Ryan said. “We’ve had some interesting times together, some challenges for both of us, that has made us stronger in the long run.”
Ryan thanked his family, friends, and fellow service members in attendance, both in person and virtually.
“I learned a long time ago that the Army is a team sport. It is a team that starts with our enlisted Soldiers, our NCOs, and our warrant officers who have trained and taught me,” Ryan said before turning to Evans. “As well as the officers, some of whom I have served with and stood shoulder to shoulder with both in battle and during command and staff.”
Ryan has been serving as the commanding general of USARSOUTH since June 28 and has graciously recognized the warm welcome he and his wife have received. | ||||

"BBFC"
] | 2020-07-24T15:43:00+00:00 | Discover key moments in BBFC history on this interactive timeline. Landmark decisions, classification issues and legislation details. | en | /_next/static/images/favicon-7dbebdc25cd083286e777238d2431e44.ico | https://www.bbfc.co.uk/education/timelines | Legislation
The British Board of Film Censors is created by a burgeoning film industry as a means of ensuring uniformity for film classification decisions.
Sexual Violence
BBFC's list of exceptions is revised to include 'girls' clothes pulled off, leaving them in scanty undergarments', 'drugging and ruining of young girls' and 'criminal assault on girls'.
Legislation
The H certificate is introduced by the BBFC. H is an advisory certificate which tells the public that a film has a horror theme and is not suitable for children.
Sexual Violence
No Orchids for Miss Blandish is cut by 11 minutes despite earlier enforced script changes by the BBFC to limit its sexual violence. It was later banned by local authorities and the BBFC's Secretary is forced to publicly apologise for passing it at all.
Violence and Weapons
Brighton Rock is attacked by critics as 'nasty and sensationalist' but is a success at the box office.
Legislation
As a result of changes to the Cinematograph Act, the X certificate is introduced. No children under the age of 16 are allowed to see an X film. This is the first mandatory age-restricted category.
Violence and Weapons
The BBFC rejects The Wild One on the grounds that it presents an 'unbridled spectacle of hooliganism'. It is not rated until 1967.
Drugs
The Man with the Golden Arm Frank Sinatra startles audiences by playing a heroin addict in a film based on a gritty cult novel by Nelson Algren. The BBFC awards the film an X certificate.
Sex
Carry On Sergeant is rated U without cuts. It's the first of the popular British sex comedy franchise.
Legislation
In the first famous trial using the new Obscene Publications Act, D H Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover becomes freely available for the first time in 32 years. The book is deemed art rather than pornography.
Sexual Violence
BBFC rates Hitchcock's Psycho X after cuts to the notorious shower scene. The film in later years is rated 15 uncut on video.
Violence and Weapons
The BBFC rejects Lady In A Cage on the grounds that is an exercise in sadistic brutality and might 'have the effect of encouraging juvenile violence'. The film is later rated 18 uncut on video in 2002 and 15 uncut on DVD in 2005.
Sex
Stanley Kubrick's Lolita rated X without cuts but only after changes required by the BBFC at the script stage are made. The BBFC rates Victim X after minor cuts. It is the first British film to deal openly with the subject of homosexuality.
Sex
Helga, the first sex education film to be rated by the BBFC, is awarded an A rating after cuts are made.
Legislation
The age limit on the X category is raised from 16 to 18. The advisory U and A categories are introduced along with the AA category that allows admission to those aged 14 and over.
Drugs
Andy Warhol's Trash is rejected by the BBFC. It is subsequently passed X with cuts in 1972. Rising star Al Pacino appears in Panic in Needle Park, about heroin addicts in New York. The film is rejected by the BBFC and not rated until 1975.
Sex
The first male erection shown on British screens is seen in Andy Warhol's Flesh. It is given an X certificate. The Yugoslav film WR - Mysteries of the Organism, which contains sight of erections and real sex, is rated X without cuts.
Sexual Violence
Straw Dogs is cut to reduce a rape scene. BBFC is attacked by critics for passing the film and a number of councils opt to ban it. BBFC rates A Clockwork Orange X uncut. Although the film implies sexual violence, no rape is actually shown.
Sexual Violence
BBFC requires cuts to a sequence in John Boorman's Deliverance in which a man is seen being raped.
Violence and Weapons
Enter the Dragon is rated X for cinema release with cuts to violence, but with nunchaku (chainsticks) scenes intact. A Clockwork Orange is removed from sale by Stanley Kubrick after controversy about its violence and death threats against his family.
Sex
The Obscene Publications Act is extended to film. This allows films to be judged as a whole rather than single scenes being judged as indecent. As a result the BBFC waives its original cut to Last Tango in Paris.
Sexual Violence
BBFC recalls Emmanuelle (1974) from distribution to remove a rape scene in which sexual assault is presented as good for the victim.
Violence and Weapons
James Ferman recalls Enter the Dragon to cut nunchaku scenes. The Warriors is rated X uncut. Local authorities, concerned by reports of the film's effects in the US, ask the BBFC to reconsider. The BBFC declines.
Drugs
Cult German film Christiane F portraying heroin addiction is passed with an X certificate. The initial 18 rated video version is cut to reduce scenes of drug taking for home viewing in 1986. A later version in 2000 is passed 18 without cuts.
Legislation
The BBFC rating system is overhauled with the introduction of the PG, 15, 18 and R18 categories. The first film rated PG is Return Of The Soldier.
Sexual Violence
Director of Public Prosecutions instructs police to seize 'video nasties', many of which include sexually violent scenes and have never been rated by the BBFC. Seized titles include I Spit On Your Grave, Last House On The left and Cannibal Holocaust.
Legislation
The Video Recordings Act (VRA) is passed and the BBFC becomes the designated authority for rating videos 'for suitability within the home'. The BBFC becomes the British Board of Film Classification.
Violence and Weapons
Streets of Fire is one of the last films to feature butterfly knives before they are added to the list of banned weaponry. The Video Recordings Act is introduced to prevent underage access to unsuitable videos and crack down on so-called 'video nasties'.

It was created in 2002 by Lieut. Col. Casey Wardynski of the U.S. Army. The game is maintained and managed by the U.S. Army and received positive reviews for its realistic depiction of a soldier’s experiences. Millions of registered users contributed to the game’s success since its release.
The U.S. Army developed America’s Army as a way to generate interest in the army and to recruit tech-savvy video game enthusiasts. The game is free via download over the Internet, or it can be obtained at army recruitment centres. The game is played online, where it enjoys a large community of loyal followers. America’s Army has evolved to the point where it is utilized as a training tool by the U.S. Army to prepare recruits for particular combat scenarios. Game play centres on passing a series of training courses before moving on to simulated combat scenarios. Players can choose what type of soldier they would like to be and are then given a series of tasks to complete in order to achieve that goal. To be a medic, for instance, players must pass a combat medic training simulator. The game is so realistic that it helped America’s Army enthusiast Paxton Galvanek rescue and treat two car accident victims in 2007 despite having no medical training besides what he had learned from the game. | ||||

About seven years ago, the company had the chance to buy a stake in OpenAI, then a fledgling non-profit research organization working in a little-known field called generative artificial intelligence, four people with direct knowledge of those discussions told Reuters.
For U.S. chip giant Intel, the darling of the computer age before it fell on harder times in the AI era, things might have been quite different.
About seven years ago, the company had the chance to buy a stake in OpenAI, then a fledgling non-profit research organization working in a little-known field called generative artificial intelligence, four people with direct knowledge of those discussions told Reuters.
Over several months in 2017 and 2018, executives at the two companies discussed various options, including Intel buying a 15% stake for $1 billion in cash, three of the people said. They also discussed Intel taking an additional 15% stake in OpenAI if it made hardware for the startup at cost price, two people said.
Intel ultimately decided against a deal, partly because then-CEO Bob Swan did not think generative AI models would make it to market in the near future and thus repay the chipmaker's investment, according to three of the sources, who all requested anonymity to discuss confidential matters.
OpenAI was interested in an investment from Intel because it would have reduced their reliance on Nvidia's chips and allowed the startup to build its own infrastructure, two of the people said. The deal also fell through because Intel's data center unit did not want to make products at cost, the people added.
An Intel spokesperson did not address questions about the potential deal. Swan did not respond to a request for comment and OpenAI declined to comment.

Intel's decision not to invest in OpenAI, which went on to launch the groundbreaking ChatGPT in 2022 and is now reportedly valued at about $80 billion, has not previously been made public.
It is among a series of strategic misfortunes that have seen the company, which was at the cutting edge of computer chips in the 1990s and 2000s, stumble in the era of AI, according to Reuters interviews with nine people familiar with the matter including former Intel executives and industry experts.
Last week, Intel's second-quarter earnings triggered a stock price decline of more than a quarter of its value in its worst trading day since 1974.
For the first time in 30 years, the tech company is worth less than $100 billion. The erstwhile market kingpin - whose marketing slogan "Intel Inside" long represented the gold standard of quality - is still struggling to get a blockbuster AI chip product to market.
Intel is now dwarfed by $2.6 trillion rival Nvidia, which has pivoted from video game graphics to AI chips needed to build, train and operate large generative AI systems like OpenAI's GPT4 and Meta Platforms' Llama models. Intel has also fallen behind the $218 billion AMD.
Asked about its AI progress, the Intel spokesperson referred to recent comments by CEO Pat Gelsinger, who said the company's third-generation Gaudi AI chip, which it aims to launch in the third quarter of this year, would outperform rivals.
Gelsinger said the company had "20-plus" customers for the second and third generation of Gaudi and that its next-generation Falcon Shores AI chip would launch in late 2025.
"We are nearing the completion of a historic pace of design and process technology innovation, and we are encouraged by the product pipeline we're building to capture a greater share of the AI market going forward," the spokesperson told Reuters.
Gaming chips sweep AI
On the OpenAI front, Microsoft stepped in to make an investment in 2019, propelling itself to the forefront of the AI era triggered by the 2022 release of ChatGPT and a frenzy of activity among the largest companies in the world to deploy AI.
Although in hindsight the prospective deal was a missed chance for Intel, the company has been gradually losing the battle for AI supremacy for more than decade, according to the former executives and industry experts interviewed.
"Intel failed in AI because they didn't present a cohesive product strategy to their customers," said Dylan Patel, founder of semiconductor research group SemiAnalysis.
For more than two decades, Intel believed the CPU, or central processing unit, like the ones that power desktop and laptop computers, could more effectively handle the processing tasks required to build and run AI models, according to four former Intel executives with direct knowledge of the company's plans.
Intel engineers viewed the graphics processing unit (GPU) video gaming chip architecture, used by rivals Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, as comparatively "ugly," one of the people said.
By the mid 2000s, though, researchers had discovered that the gaming chips were far more efficient than CPUs at handling the intensive data crunching necessary to build and train large AI models. Because GPUs are designed for game graphics, they can perform an enormous number of calculations in parallel.
Nvidia's engineers have spent years since then modifying the GPU architecture to tune them for AI uses, and built the software necessary to harness the capabilities.
"When AI hit ... Intel just didn't have the right processor at the right time," said Lou Miscioscia, analyst at Japanese investment bank Daiwa.
Nervana and Habana
Since 2010, Intel has made at least four attempts to produce a viable AI chip, including acquiring two startups and at least two major homegrown efforts. None have made a dent against Nvidia or AMD in the rapidly expanding and lucrative market, according to three people with direct knowledge of the company's internal activities.
Intel's entire data center business is expected to generate sales of $13.89 billion this year - which includes the company's AI chips but many other designs too - while analysts expect Nvidia to generate data center revenue of $105.9 billion.
In 2016, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sought to buy its way into the AI business by acquiring Nervana Systems for $408 million. Intel executives were attracted to Nervana's technology, which was similar to a tensor processing unit (TPU) chip made by Google, according to two former executives.
The TPU - specifically designed for building, or training, large generative AI models - stripped away a conventional GPU's features useful for video games and focused exclusively on optimizing AI calculations.
Nervana enjoyed some success with customers including Meta Platforms for its processor, though not enough to prevent Intel from switching horses and abandoning the project.
In 2019, Intel bought a second chip startup, Habana Labs, for $2 billion before it shut down Nervana's efforts in 2020.
Krzanich did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning, Walz was facing fresh scrutiny over what critics said was a delay in calling in the National Guard during the 2020 protests that engulfed Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd.
Republicans all the way up to former President Donald Trump have claimed Walz was responsible for that delay, criticism that quickly coalesced into one of the main arguments against the freshly formed Democratic presidential ticket Tuesday, though Trump also offered praise to Walz for his handling of the situation in 2020.
Just hours after Harris picked Walz, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance claimed Walz, who struck a conciliatory tone after Floyd’s murder and the violence that followed, was “cheering on” rioters in Minneapolis as it “burned” during the May 2020 protests — a criticism also quickly echoed by the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC.
Trump himself has also falsely claimed — including last month during a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota — that as president it was he, not Walz, who called in the National Guard during the protest, after Walz dragged his feet. While that claim is not true, Walz and the Minneapolis mayor have long pointed fingers at each other over the delayed response, with Republicans blaming both of them in a later legislative investigation.
Criticism over a delay in responding to riots
In May 2020, in the days after a Minneapolis police officer killed Floyd, protests erupted throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul and, in short order, throughout cities across the U.S. In Minnesota, some of the protests quickly turned violent, resulting in massive burning, looting and destruction in large parts of downtown Minneapolis.
At the time, Republicans blamed Walz for not responding to the protests more quickly and more aggressively. Specifically, they pointed to what they said was a three-day delay in Walz's ordering the National Guard into the Twin Cities to help quell the unrest. The criticisms re-emerged as Walz climbed his way up Harris’ running mate short list last week.
A report by Minnesota state Senate Republicans in October 2020 stated that Walz “had the ability and duty to use force and law enforcement to stop criminal violence, but he did not.
“Governor Walz was not willing to do what was necessary to stop the rioting right away because he was having a philosophical debate about whether the use of force should be used to stop violence,” the report’s authors wrote.
Walz’s office confirmed at the time that he, a 24-year veteran of the National Guard, activated the guard following official requests from the Democratic-led cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The activation in 2020 occurred before Walz spoke to the White House.
Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020, while in Minneapolis police custody. The next day — following the release of a video showing Floyd, as he died, saying he couldn’t breathe while police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck — protests kicked off throughout the city. By May 27 there were reports of vandalism, looting and arson, in addition to peaceful protests, in the city.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has said he called Walz in the evening of May 27, shortly after he’d heard of a Target store being looted, to request that the National Guard be sent in.
“We expressed the seriousness of the situation. The urgency was clear,” Frey told the Star Tribune in August 2020. “He did not say yes,” Frey told the newspaper. “He said he would consider it.”
A Star Tribune investigation into the exchange found that Frey’s staff felt his conversation with Walz constituted a formal request that the guard be sent. Through public records requests, the newspaper discovered texts confirming that Frey had a conversation making a request to Walz — but that no confirmation came from Walz or his office that the guard was being activated on May 27. Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo also requested National Guard assistance in a May 27 evening email to Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety John Harrington, according to emails provided by Frey's office.
Frey has said his office followed up on the morning of May 28 with a written request to Walz that the National Guard be deployed. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter sent a similar letter hours later on May 28.
Frey’s and Walz’s offices have publicly disputed what would have constituted a formal request for National Guard assistance. Walz’s office has said that a verbal request is not considered a formal request. Federal regulations are not explicit about whether the request must come in writing.
Bill George, the former CEO of Minneapolis-based health care tech giant Medtronic — and a decadeslong Minneapolis resident who said he lived 2 miles from some of the more violent protests — recalled how “the protests started out as peaceful, and then as things wore on, became very violent.” George, a Walz supporter, said he puts blame on Frey for the delayed response.
Spokespeople for Walz and Frey did not respond to NBC News questions on the subject.
Walz did not activate the Minnesota National Guard until the afternoon of May 28, when his office issued a news release announcing the move. And moments later, the Minnesota National Guard said on social media that the unit was “currently in process of” responding to the request.
Later that night, at 10:41 p.m. local time, the Minnesota National Guard posted on X that it had “activated” 500 soldiers in and around the Twin Cities.
About an hour after that, at 11:53 p.m. local time, Trump wrote on X that he would “send in the National Guard” because “I can’t stand back & watch this happen.” In a second post, Trump wrote that he’d spoken to Walz to let him know that “the Military is with him all the way” and that “any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
ABC News reported Wednesday that Trump told Walz and other governors in a June 1 telephone call that he "fully agree[d] with the way he handled it the last couple of days." The Trump campaign said he was referring to Walz's decision to use the National Guard.
Walz said at the time that the response to the riots was an “abject failure.” It took nearly another two days for him, on May 30, to order the entire Minnesota National Guard into Minneapolis to contain violence.
By the time control had been regained, a police precinct was burned down. Walz’s administration estimated the total damages across the Twin Cities at $500 million.
The report assembled by Republicans in the Minnesota state Senate in October 2020 blamed both Walz and Frey for the slow response.
A spokesperson for Frey pointed to the Star Tribune investigation reporting that Frey had made his request to Walz for National Guard assistance on the evening of May 27.
A spokesperson for St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said he was in constant communication with Walz and state law enforcement partners throughout that entire week and that Carter spoke to Walz on the phone “immediately” after “unrest first spread” into St. Paul on May 28, adding that the “city’s formal written request for National Guard assistance was sent in written form that same day.”
Walz, responding to a question from reporters last Thursday about whether he would’ve done things differently in retrospect, said, “It is what it is and I simply believe that we tried to do the best we can in each of those [situations].”
Minnesota Democrats and other in-state allies of Walz have suggested that Republicans can’t blame Walz for the fiasco when Trump was posting missives on social media that they said inflamed an already dire situation.
“Gov. Walz decided to deploy the National Guard at pretty much the same time Donald Trump was tweeting from his bunker, inflaming the situation and telling anyone who would listen to go after the protesters,” said Democratic state Rep. Emma Greenman, who was a candidate for office during the protests, which occurred in the district she would later in 2020 be elected to represent.
Any potential deliberation by Walz on the matter, she said, was because Walz “was both really aware of the moment, and the safety of the residents of Minneapolis — and also aware of the pain and the First Amendment rights of the protesters.”
The moment has stuck in state Republicans’ memories.
“Going back to 2020, certainly — he did nothing to try to stop the riots going on in Minneapolis. I think he was fearful of alienating his ‘progressive’ base, who were supporting the riots,” Minnesota GOP Chairman David Hann told Fox News last week, after Walz emerged as a potential VP pick.
What came next
Walz and Minnesota’s reaction to Floyd’s murder and the surrounding protests didn’t stop after the violence. In June 2020, Walz convened a special legislative session after the Legislature failed to advance police reform legislation. He called a second one after the initial session also saw lawmakers fail to advance reform. At that time, Republicans controlled the state Senate while Democrats controlled the state House.
“[Walz] was the adult in the room, calming things down and developing a plan of action to get things under control,” Minneapolis-based Democratic strategist Susie Malmberg-Merthan said.
“After that as governor, he was a constructive partner at the table to not only pass police accountability measures, but to improve relations between community and the police in the wake of George Floyd’s murder,” Malmberg-Merthan said.
During the July session, the Legislature passed police reform legislation that included a ban on neck holds like the one that contributed to Floyd’s death, a ban on chokeholds and “warrior-style” training, as well as mandating a duty for officers to interrupt if they see a colleague using excessive force. A second, more modest, compromise package of police reforms passed in June 2021 limited no-knock warrants.
Some public safety advocates, however, have expressed frustration with the slow pace of the adoption of many of those enacted measures.
Meanwhile, Walz earned praise for his decision in May 2020 to assign the prosecution of Chauvin to state Attorney General Keith Ellison, taking that responsibility away from local prosecutors. Chauvin was found guilty on all counts for causing Floyd’s death.
Ellison, a Walz ally, said Tuesday that there wouldn’t have been a case without the governor's decision.
“It proves he cares about George Floyd and his family, he was morally outraged by and he took the best action he could to ensure justice for George Floyd,” Ellison said. “There would be no George Floyd case if it was not for Tim Walz appointing me. Period.” | ||||

Off to the PC Engine I go for another bout of alien ass whupping in 1990’s Super Star Soldier. To understand the origins of the Star Soldier series, we need to start back in 1984, when Tecmo (then called Tehkan) developed the fast-paced vertical shooter Star Force for arcades. The subsequent home release of Star Force on the Famicom proved so wildly popular that its publisher, Hudson Soft, made it the centerpiece of their first annual All-Japan Caravan Festival in 1985.
This nationwide high score contest generated considerable publicity and Hudson was understandably eager to make it an annual event. Problem was, they needed a new game to center Caravan ’86 around. Preferably one very similar to Star Force…. In other words, Star Soldier was a bit of a copycat. It was a worthy shooter in its own right by the standards of the time, however, and all three of its PC Engine follow-ups (Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier, and Soldier Blade) would headline their own Caravans from 1990-1992.
Before I move on to discussing Super Star Soldier proper, here’s one last Caravan fun fact I couldn’t resist sharing with you all: We have these early competitions to thank for the rise of none other than Toshiyuki “16 Shot” Takahashi, the gaming prodigy named and famed for his rapid-firing skills in Star Soldier who later served as the real life model for Adventure Island’s Master Higgins. Yes, without these space shooter festivals taking place on the other side of the world, we would never have known the serene majesty of a portly gent in animal skins and baseball cap hurling stone axes at snails while riding a skateboard. What a bleak existence that would be.
Though developed for Hudson by Kaneko, Super Star Soldier will remind PCE/TurboGrafx fans of another, better-known shooter for the platform: Compile’s Blazing Lazers. In much the same way Star Soldier was “inspired” by Star Force, its sequel feels like an unofficial extension of Blazing Lazers. Many of the weapons feel familiar and your ship controls much the same, right down to having variable speed settings toggled with the Select button. Enemy and stage designs have a very Compile/Aleste look and flow to them, as well, although the settings you fly through are slightly less wild here. There are no deadly rainbow bubbles awaiting you this time out, for example. Even the quirky “special lives” mechanic introduced in Blazing Lazers, which has you repeatedly shooting certain power-up icons until they turn into flashing orbs and then collecting those so you can respawn in place when destroyed instead of being sent back to a checkpoint, is carried over. Considering Compile’s towering reputation among shooter fans, the same principle that exonerated the first Star Soldier holds true here: If you’re going to crib, crib from the best.
The plot, if you can call it that, is like so: Earth is under attack by a pack of evil space brains and their leader, Mother Brain. I tell you, it’s always brains in these old Japanese sci-fi games. So far this year alone, I’ve already killed one at the end of Gradius, another (also named Mother Brain) in Metroid, and a third in Section Z. That’ll teach those squishy bastards to think so much, I guess. Anyway, there’s still hope for us humans because an improved version of the Caesar craft from the last game, dubbed Neo Caesar, has been engineered for just such an emergency. The player assumes the role of the Neo Caesar’s pilot, referred to in the manual as “Starbuck.” Dirk Benedict’s character from Battlestar Galactica, then? Excuse me, but if I have to play as an A-Team alumnus, I’d much prefer Mr. T.
Starbuck’s mission consists of eight stages. Most are variations on the outer space theme with only a couple taking place planetside. Each is fairly long and has its own unique final boss. The exception is, of course, the final stage, which is a punishing five boss gauntlet with a generous compliment of standard enemies sprinkled in for good measure. The entire journey takes around 35 minutes, assuming highly skilled play. That’s a respectable amount of play time for the genre, albeit also less than Blazing Lazers.
The Neo Caesar has four primary weapons at its disposal, accessed via colored-coded orbs dropped by enemies. These include the default multi-shot machine gun, the wide-angle ring laser, the more focused spread laser, and the powerful, short range swing fire. You can upgrade each weapon multiple times, increasing its area of effect considerably in the process. Taking damage will lower your weapon’s power, so these enhanced armaments also double as your armor in classic Aleste fashion. In general, I found the multi-shot and ring laser to be the best at taking out swarms of regular enemies, while the piercing spread laser was ideal for dealing heavy damage to single targets (i.e. bosses). I actively avoided swing fire for the majority of the game, since its flame jets share the same bright orange color scheme as the enemy’s bullets, which resulted in far too much accidental damage. Too bad. Double flamethrowers should equal pure bliss in any game.
Rounding out your arsenal are a couple of useful supplementary items. The Starbuck Defense System is a very fancy name for a very basic pair of “option” satellites that hang out near your ship blocking enemies and their shots. While these will damage foes on contact, they don’t actually multiply your firepower like the options from Gradius. Your other choice, the homing missiles, are entirely self-explanatory. You can only have one primary and one secondary weapon equipped at a given time. Thankfully, power-up drops are quite frequent, so you’ll never have to wait too long for your favorites to show up in the rotation.
Super Star Soldier poses a respectable challenge without being too overwhelming. For the most part, anyway. It’s definitely tougher than Blazing Lazers thanks to denser enemy patterns, trickier bosses, and no shield pickup or stock of super bombs. At the same time, it’s not totally lacking in clemency. You have weapons-as-armor to prevent those one-hit deaths and unlimited continues to boot. The biggest hurdle by far is the final stage. Defeating five tricky bosses in a row, the last of which has four distinct forms, is no joke. Worst of all is the three minutes or so of regular enemy waves you have to fight your way past before the boss rush even starts. It doesn’t sound like much, but having to wade through these guys over and over each time you continue can really start to wear on you after a while. This is another of those games where I spent significantly more time on the last level than on all the rest combined.
Oh, and I can neither forget nor forgive the hellish glitch that put an ugly end to my first full playthrough. See, crashing into enemies in Super Star Soldier damages both parties. The first time I managed to defeat the final boss, it was by accidentally colliding with it, destroying us both in the same instant. I had a ship in reserve, so I wasn’t worried. All I had to do was respawn and watch those credits roll, right? Wrong. I came back like normal, but the game just hung there. The boss music kept on looping as I sat there alone on an endlessly scrolling starfield. With nothing left to kill me and no time limit, all I could was give up and reset the machine. Did I eventually start fresh and beat the boss the normal way so I could have that true ending? I did. Was I happy about it? I was not.
That freak occurrence aside, there’s very little in Super Star Soldier that’s objectionable and much to appreciate. The audiovisuals meet the usual high Hudson standard and the shooting action is fast, precise, and, above all, satisfying. It’s true that the difficulty curve is a tad lopsided due to that crazy brutal eighth stage and the weapon selection, while adequate, could stand to be broadened. The three other games on the system that share this exact style of play, Blazing Lazers, Final Soldier, and Soldier Blade all have a little more going on mechanically and can be considered slightly better overall. Fortunately, being the weakest of these four still allows Super Star Soldier ample room to stand tall as one of the best shooters on a console synonymous with them. Just don’t try to kamikaze its bosses. Let my pain be your gain. | |||||

] | 2024-08-07T18:06:51+00:00 | Hozier has announced a new EP, 'Unaired,' with three fresh songs, on the heels of having a No. 1 hit with 'Too Sweet.' One track features Bedouine. | en | Variety | https://variety.com/2024/music/news/hozier-unaired-ep-nobodys-soldier-july-bedouine-feature-1236098834/ | Hozier already has a single that has been among this year’s Song of the Summer contenders, “Too Sweet,” off the “Unheard” EP that he released back in March. Now, with a second EP due out next week, could he have a Song of the Fall in store, too?
The artist announced on his social media Tuesday that his second EP of the year, “Unaired,” will be out Aug. 16. It, too, will consist of outtakes from his 2023 “Eat Your Young” album. And, as the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 success of “Too Sweet” has proven, the reason these songs were left off the larger work had more to do with conceptual or sequencing reasons than coming up short in quality.
Hozier did not list the contents of the forthcoming EP in his posts, nor do they appear in the pre-save links for streaming apps, but Variety can confirm that it includes three songs, “Nobody’s Soldier,” “July” and “That You Are,” the last of which includes Bedouine as a featured artist.
The singer has already given fans previews of two of the songs, live or on social media. He debuted “Nobody’s Soldier” in concert while headlining Lollapalooza in early August, and also posted 30 seconds’ worth of the studio version of the hard-rocking number. He described the tune to Parade as “an anti-war song.”
“July” is a more sensual number, and sounds like it could be a radio hit, if the title doesn’t make listeners too wistful for a summer season already on the wane. Hozier posted the first minute of the studio version on his socials on the last day of the titular month, writing, “Seemed a shame not to let folks hear this in July.”
“‘July’ is something I wrote during the pandemic,” he told Parade. “July was always the month when Ireland was supposed to open up again. So it was a song I wrote years ago. Much like a lot of the work on the record, you know? So it was a song about looking forward to something, perpetually looking ahead.”
Less is known in advance about “That You Are.” Hozier’s appreciation for that song’s featured artist, Bedouine, goes back a while, as, in Nov. 2019, he answered a fan’s question on Twitter about what he was listening to by responding, “I love ‘Bird Songs of a Killjoy’ by Bedouine.” That was the second of the three albums that the Syrian-American musician has released to date.
Hozier had teased the idea that there would be more than one EP this year in an interview with Variety back in May, in which he spoke at length about the “Unheard” EP. “I just did so much recording in that period that (‘Eat Your Young’) wouldn’t have made for a terribly cohesive album, along with being overlong,” he said then. “So the idea developed as we were getting closer to the release that, OK, you know what, there’s stuff here that I would like people to hear and the label certainly would like people to hear. And so we’ll just come back around and we’ll do a couple of EP releases, and make sense of it that way.” He said then that they were “finishing up some mixes” for the second EP.
Hozier is in the midst of a five-month American “Unreal Unearth Tour,” for which most of the dates instantly sold out upon going on sale, following on the heels of a highly successful 2023 tour. Allison Russell is opening most of the dates, with Joy Oladokun as the featured opener on others. The outing includes a three-night stand at L.A.’s Kia Forum Sept. 17-20 and an appearance at Tennessee’s Pilgrimage Festival Sept. 28. | |||||

Seventy years ago today, the B-52A—the first production model of the B-52—flew its first flight from Boeing’s Seattle plant. A.M. “Tex” Johnston, Boeing’s Chief of flight test, and Donald Knutson, co-pilot, flew the aircraft, taking off at 3:42 p.m. local time, and landing at 5:00 p.m. The production model of the B-52 differed from the two test models that came before it by having the pilot and the co-pilot sitting side-by-side instead of tandem. Since the mid-1950s on through to the present day, the B-52 fleet has been the backbone of the USAF’s strategic bomber capability.
6 Aug 1994 (Tinker AFB)
Today, 30 years ago, John Glenn, Jr.—astronaut and U.S. Senator (D-Ohio)—visited Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. He was there to voice his support for keeping Tinker AFB open, as it was at that time facing possible closure. Senator Glenn had just himself fought to keep Wright-Patterson AFB’s flight test air wing in Ohio earlier that spring, but lost—with Ohio’s flight test mission going to Edwards AFB in California. In Aug 1994, using lessons learned from his own fight, he was trying to encourage Tinker AFB to begin working immediately to stay open. He was also voicing his support for a local politician, Representative Dave McCurdy, who was running for U.S. Senate to fill a seat from which incumbent Senator David L. Boren was retiring. Senator Glenn argued that there would be no better champion for keeping the base open. In the end, McCurdy lost the Senate race to James “Jim” Inhofe, but Tinker AFB nonetheless survived the 1995 BRAC when Kelly AFB was chosen over Tinker for closure.
7 Aug 1964 (U.S. Military History)
Sixty years ago today, Congress passed the “Gulf of Tonkin Resolution” authorizing President Johnson “to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force” to maintain international peace in southeast Asia. The resolution was prompted by purported attacks by North Vietnamese forces earlier in the month on U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. It passed through the Senate almost unanimously, with only two Senators dissenting, and was historically important because it gave the President the authorization to rapidly escalate U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War without a formal declaration of war. Congress rescinded the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1971 as public sentiment for American involvement in the war become increasingly negative, and in 1973 passed the War Powers Resolution to limit a president’s ability to get the United States involved in future wars without Congressional consent.
8 Aug 1944 (Hill AFB/Fighters and Advanced Aircraft Directorate)
Today, 80 years ago, a tired P-47 Thunderbolt—a rugged WWII-era fighter plane—arrived at Hill AFB for rehabilitation. It was the first of many, with the last P-47 delivery occurring on 15 Dec 1945. Hill AFB was rehabbing the aircraft so that the Second Air Force could reuse them for training purposes.
10 Aug 1984 (Digital Directorate/Hanscom AFB)
On today’s date forty years ago, Under Secretary of the Army James Ambrose approved the awarding of a contract for the Joint STARS Ground Station Module (GSM) to the Motorola Corporation. This followed a May 1984 Memorandum of Agreement between the Air Force and the Army, where both services agreed on the platform for the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS, or JSTARS)—the E-8 aircraft (a militarized Boeing 707)—and system requirements. The Army took responsibility for the GSM and the Downsized GSM (DGSM), while the Air Force had sole responsibility for the development of the prime mission equipment (airplane, radar, and data links), managed out of Hanscom AFB. The E-8 tracked enemy ground forces, then transmitted its targeting data to the GSM, a truck-based receiving station, for dissemination to friendly troops.
11 Aug 2004 (Armament Directorate)
Twenty years ago today, the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), now the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), conducted the final evaluation sortie for a new type of pod for the F-16 HTS targeting system at Edwards AFB. HTS refers to the “High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) Targeting System” for the AGM-88 HARM. The HARM is an air-to-surface tactical missile specialized for destroying enemy radar-equipped air defense systems. The HTS was developed in the early and middle 1990s to allow F-16s to effectively take on a suppression of enemy air defenses role following the retirement of the F-4G—which had previously been relied upon for these “Wild Weasel” missions. The system as a whole consists of the pod, the missile, the aircraft’s launcher interface computer, and system software on the aircraft. The original HTS pod could only be carried on the right side of an F-16; but the pod tested on this day in 2004 could be equipped to either side, allowing for enhanced precision targeting. _
100 Years Ago This Week in AFLCMC History: 9 August 1924
The Re-Birth of Wright Field
America’s entry into the First World War in 1917 resulted in a slew of short-term actions that continue to resonate over a century later. This included leasing land for the Army’s largest aviation training base, dubbed Wilbur Wright Field, outside Dayton, Ohio, on what is now Wright-Patterson AFB’s Area A, along with the purchase of a small adjacent area for a supply depot. That was followed by the establishment of an Airplane Engineering Division to manage aircraft development, test, and acquisition. When construction of that Division’s intended home at Langley Field, Virginia stalled, military, business, and political forces combined to relocate it to a “temporary” home across from downtown Dayton, on another leased property—McCook Field.
The hastily constructed McCook Field was intended to last for the duration of the war, but while that conflict ended less than a year later, the Engineering Division stayed put for almost a decade. In that time, airplanes grew larger, but McCook did not, prompting the addition of its iconic “This Field is Small—Use It All” warning sign to incoming pilots. Not only was the field small, it was also surrounded by a river, homes, and downtown buildings—hardly ideal for routine aviation, much less McCook’s experimental flying, wind tunnel experiments, and testing of engines, propellers, and parachutes. As a result, there was a consistent push by the Engineering Division for a more suitable home, which was accompanied by persistent lobbying both from other municipalities to relocate it to their jurisdiction and by the airplane industry to shutter it entirely. It was only Congress’ indifference and reluctance to appropriate money to move it that kept McCook open.
Those forces came to a head in 1922 when it appeared relocation was imminent. Dayton’s civic and corporate leadership quickly banded together that October to save this unique asset for their city. In just days, the newly-formed Dayton Air Service Committee (DASC) raised nearly a half-million dollars in local donations to buy outright the leased Wilbur Wright Field land, which still being used as an auxiliary field for the Engineering Division and to support the Fairfield Air Depot, along with a nearly-equal portion of contiguous property to the south-west as the “new McCook Field.”
Much of that land was owned by a quasi-governmental regional flood control district that was man-aged by the same interests that comprised the DASC, paving the way for a quick and cheap process...or so they thought. Over the next two years, a hodge-podge of property rights stymied the Committee’s attempts to purchase (for over $260,000) and transfer the nearly 5,000 acres. Ohio Congressman Roy Fitzgerald, Washington’s biggest advocate for Dayton’s aviation interests, worked behind the scenes to execute the necessarily political machinations.
In February 1924, the Dayton Air Service Committee transferred the first parcels of land to the Army. Then on August 9, 1924, representatives of the DASC signed over the deeds to over 4,000 acres for the sum of $1. Those were recorded two days later and the US government, as represented by the Army Air Service, took possession of most of what’s now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on 12 August.
The momentous occasion called for a formal ceremony, of course, so DASC chairman Frederick Patterson took the train to Washington DC to present the deeds in person to the War Department. Not one to pass up publicity, Air Service deputy chief Gen Billy Mitchell escorted Patterson to the White House where he met with President Calvin Coolidge and received the letter shown here. The missive, containing some factual errors, was undoubtedly the work of the President’s staff, as he was relatively hostile to any aviation investment.
For Wilbur Wright Field, the only change was that they now owned the land they already occupied (as the Fairfield Air Depot had since 1917). The Engineering Division like-wise continued with business as usual at McCook until Congress allocated money to actually prep the newly-acquired parcels that would be their future home. Those funds finally came through in April 1925, though groundbreaking for the first building (now Building 11) didn’t occur until a year later.
In the meantime, debate raged as to what to call the base. McCook Field was named for a famous Ohio civil war family that had owned part of the land the field sat on, but had no connection to aviation. In a move that caused lasting historical confusion, the War Department declared that the entire property, not just the newer half, would now be “Wright Field,” dropping “Wilbur” from the name to honor both him and Orville (who was still alive). The confusion grew in 1931 when the base actually did split in two, with “Wright Field” being confined to the southern half (now Area B) that housed the former Engineering Division. The original portion (Area A) became “Patterson Field,” named for Frank Patterson, who perished during a test flight there in 1918 and was a cousin to DASC chairman Frederick Patterson. Building construction began in April 1926 and the formal ribbon-cutting happened in October 1927. McCook Field then closed and was entirely demolished until no sign of the historic facility remained.

Star Soldier[a] is a series of scrolling shooters mainly developed by Hudson Soft. Konami has owned the rights to the series since their absorption of Hudson Soft in 2012. The first game, named Star Soldier, appeared on the MSX and NES in 1986, and the series has continued on various gaming systems. Star Soldier itself was released with little change in a compilation for the Super Famicom in 1995, received enhanced remakes for both the GameCube and PlayStation 2 in 2003, and a different remake for the PlayStation Portable in 2005, while the latest installment of the series was released on the Wii as a WiiWare game in 2008. In addition, Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier, Soldier Blade and Star Parodier have been re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console and on the Japanese PC Engine's Best Collection lineup for the PSP. The Star Soldier games are best known for their distinctive music, unique weapon power-ups, and a special time attack high score mode called "Caravan Mode".[1]
Caravan gaming tournaments
[edit]
Star Soldier was developed as a spiritual successor to Tecmo's Star Force, from which it borrows most of its gameplay elements. The Star Force series, along with Hudson's Star Soldier, was often featured in the popular Japanese gaming tournament known as "Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival". Home ports of Star Soldier games would sometimes feature "Caravan" modes in which the player would race through timed stages while trying to accumulate a high score.
Common elements
[edit]
Being an arcade-style game, Star Soldier's objective is primarily based on achieving a high score. The series often makes use of hidden destructible tiles that offer bonus points when shot, but may occasionally power-up the player's ship instead. Bonus points will also be awarded for defeating sequences of enemy formations while they are within a certain proximity to the player's ship, or defeating mini bosses before they have a chance to attack.

] | 2024-08-07T04:06:01+00:00 | Here is a closer look at how Harris went from being Biden’s top deputy to selecting her own. | en | /apple-touch-icon.png | AP News | https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-picks-tim-walz-running-mate-a64a91ae84953e880c8d086316d07c54 | WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris’ whirlwind process to select Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate can be summed up in a word: weird.
With President Joe Biden and Harris, his vice president, seeking a second term together, Democrats weren’t supposed to have a veep search at all. But as soon as the 81-year-old president ended his campaign and endorsed Harris, it was go time. And there was no playbook for the newly elevated candidate and a vetting team that in a normal campaign would have months, not days, to make such a critical decision.
What followed was a 16-day blitz on parallel tracks. There was the behind-the-scenes action: Harris lieutenants furiously researching contenders, the vice president debating options with top aides and confidants, and, finally, a weekend of interviews with finalists. And there was the public campaign: Contenders found every cable news camera, stumped in battleground states for the prospective boss, tried out attack lines on Republican nominee Donald Trump and his understudy, Ohio Sen. JD Vance — all while rival factions made their pitches and wielded their knives.
The whole thing was made more intense and conspicuous given the time constraints, highlighting the breadth of Democrats’ bench and, at the same time, the fragility of the party unity that defined Harris’ nascent White House bid. By the end, the process offered a preview of how Harris might fare under the pressures of the Oval Office, quickly working through options, with minimal leaks from her team and a result that, at least initially, has drawn plaudits from a party that seems intent on one undisputed goal: defeating Trump and Vance in November.
Here is a closer look at how Harris went from being Biden’s top deputy to selecting her own.
A phone call from Biden and a job for Holder and Remus
Biden called Harris on July 21 from his home state of Delaware, where the president had been isolating with COVID-19 and considering his political future while more and more Democratic officials called publicly and angled privately for him to leave the race. The president told Harris that he had indeed decided to end his campaign. Within hours, he’d released a letter on social media announcing his decision. And within an hour of that letter, Biden announced separately his endorsement of Harris.
The vice president had been careful in the weeks following Biden’s jolting debate performance against Trump not to say or do anything other than back the president. But that meant she had to make up ground. She inherited the Biden campaign infrastructure, the staff, even the money. But there was nothing set up for picking a running mate – Biden had already done that four years earlier.
Harris immediately tapped former Attorney General Eric Holder, a veteran of the Obama administration she had known well since her days as California attorney general, and Dana Remus, a former White House counsel for Biden, to lead the effort. Holder and a team of researchers and political veterans ultimately formally vetted nine choices -– perhaps a shorter roster than it would normally be for a monthslong process but still long enough to require phases and whittling before Harris got to the proverbial “short list.”
The public narrative asserted from the start that Harris, a biracial woman of Indian and Jamaican heritage who made history becoming vice president and would do so again if elected president, needed to balance the ticket demographically. In short, she needed a white man. Barack Obama, the nation’s first Black president, had gone this route with then-Sen. Joe Biden in 2008. Biden made a version of the same move in 2020 when he selected Harris.
Speculation quickly settled on a trio of governors: North Carolina’s Roy Cooper, Kentucky’s Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker got attention. The Washington contingent of contenders included Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Those familiar with the process said Harris and her team would consider both the practical matter of electoral politics and her personal comfort level with a potential governing partner.
Shapiro was seen as an early favorite because of his popularity in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground with 19 electoral votes that could block any path Trump might have to 270 electoral votes. A former state attorney general like Harris, Shapiro made sure to mention publicly that he’d known the vice president for nearly two decades.
Cooper got prominent mentions as a second-term governor in a state Trump won twice. His tenure as North Carolina attorney general was a boost: He had overlapped with Harris’ service in California, and the two had worked together on multistate lawsuits, making Cooper perhaps the only possible choice with whom Harris had worked closely in government. The two had campaigned together in North Carolina in the months before Biden ended his campaign.
Beshear got attention as a governor elected twice in a solidly Republican state, and for his takedowns of Vance as a poser who is not actually from Appalachia. “He ain’t from here,” the 46-year-old governor said of the even-younger senator.
Yet in a reminder that public impressions are rarely entirely wrong but even more rarely entirely right, as Cooper’s star rose in the public imagination, he privately told the Holder-Remus team that he did not want to be vetted for the national post, though that move would not be revealed publicly until days later.
Walz, meanwhile, was largely an afterthought. He was on the campaign’s extended list, just like he was included in media photo galleries circulated of possible running mates.
In the early days of the process, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, one of the only women thought to be in contention and herself widely presumed to be a future presidential candidate, declared publicly that she wanted to help Harris as a campaign chairwoman, not as running mate.
An underappreciated jump-start for Walz
Walz had two jump-starts, the first largely unnoticed, the second underappreciated.
The first came earlier this year when the governor and the vice president visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul. That trip underscored shared values between the two, according to people familiar with Harris’ thinking. Key issues that resonated with Harris included Walz’s advocacy for in vitro fertilization and child tax credits –- a policy Walz has used in Minnesota.
The next key moment came July 23, two days after Biden’s withdrawal, when Walz went on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and uttered a dig at Trump and Vance that quickly went viral.
“These guys are just weird,” Walz said, in his conversational, informal manner.
For years, Democrats, including Biden and Harris, have leveled high-minded attacks on Trump as a threat to democracy. They spotlighted his legal troubles, racist and sexist rhetoric, the hard-right policies found in the “Project 2025” agenda that Trump disavows. The jovial governor of Minnesota encapsulated it all in one word: “weird.” And he smiled while doing it.
Social media did its thing, and the Harris campaign took notice. Within days, the vice president -– and other vice-presidential contenders –- were using “weird” like an epithet.
By the first full weekend of her candidacy, the campaign circuit and cable news lineup was an open audition.
Pritzker sat for interviews, deflecting running-mate questions in one sentence and casually commenting in the next about how involved the vetting process was — his way of making sure the world knew he was on the list, short or not. He even released a campaign-style ad on Illinois’ successes (he’s not on the ballot this year, though he is the host governor of the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago). Whitmer repeated her demurral but mused about how exciting it would be to have two women on the ticket.
On Sunday, July 28, Beshear traveled to Georgia, the state that produced the closest results in 2020, and sharpened his attacks on Vance and played up his ability to win in GOP areas even with solidly liberal policy credentials.
The following day, it was Shapiro’s turn in the Philadelphia suburbs, with Whitmer joining him on stage. Like Beshear, Shapiro touted Harris — and himself. “We get shit done in the commonwealth,” he boasted, rousing rallygoers with a stirring cadence that engenders comparisons to Obama.
At the same time the contenders were auditioning publicly, Holder and Remus were diving through contenders’ lives, private records and public statements. And Harris campaign aides were working double time on potential rollouts for those still in the running. They were led by campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.
For each possible choice, staffers planned everything from a hopscotch tour through battleground states to designing new campaign logos and drafting social media plans, surrogate interview lineups and talking points for party leaders.
Some duplicative work happens before any running mate pick, as a presidential nominee nears a final choice (think unused Clinton-Booker merchandise from 2016 or Trump-Rubio logos from a few weeks ago). But in this case, it almost certainly involved more combinations than usual.
Labor, Israel and ‘weird’ take the stage
As the options narrowed to a short list, Kelly emerged as a leading contender along with Shapiro. The Arizona senator had won two close elections — one special, one regular — in what had been a GOP stronghold. His impressive military record and time as an astronaut, his experience dealing with immigration in a border state and good relationships with border sheriffs all worked in his favor. He is not known as an especially effervescent, telegenic presence, but the right balance for any running mate is to complement and bolster the boss without overshadowing them, so that did not end his candidacy.
The bigger threat, perhaps, was Kelly’s position with labor. He had expressed reservations about pending labor legislation in Washington, so some labor leaders harbored reservations.
Shapiro, meanwhile, was attracting negative attention from the left. His positions on the Israel-Hamas war have not been fundamentally different from the other contenders – or from Harris – and he has been harshly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But Shapiro, who is Jewish, was lumped in with reflexive defenders of the Israeli government, raising questions about whether he would draw the kinds of protests that Biden had faced from his left flank for continuing to send military weapons to Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
As factions squabbled over Kelly and Shapiro, Walz may have benefitted from having a fan in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A San Francisco Democrat like Harris, Pelosi has maintained that she had no preference and does not tell presidential nominees who to pick as running mates. But one former Pelosi aide described the former speaker and Walz as “super tight,” and Pelosi has recently demonstrated her status as a leading party elder via her private conversations with Biden about bowing out.
Inside the Harris orbit, there was also some question as to whether Shapiro was actually too good on the stump – the opposite assessment from Kelly and perhaps more of a liability given Harris’ mixed reviews as a national campaigner over the years.
Meanwhile, late last week, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, an in-state rival to Shapiro, sent a message to team Harris about the governor, according to a person familiar with the situation and granted anonymity to discuss the private talks. Through an aide who acted as an emissary, Fetterman portrayed Shapiro as a political opportunist with his own ambitions.
But Shapiro and Kelly remained in the mix privately and front-runners publicly, especially after Cooper announced from North Carolina on July 29 that he had previously asked not to be considered.
When Harris took the stage in Atlanta the next day for the largest rally of her campaign to that point, she had the timing down precisely on Walz’s “weird” jab, eliciting roars from nearly 10,000 supporters. By then, Walz was getting credit as the message-maker, and finally being recognized as a genuine contender.
Her campaign that day also shared its plans for a multi-day tour of the battleground states by Harris and her TBD partner. The planned opening act in Philadelphia, in Shapiro’s home state, prompted more speculation that the governor was the choice, even as Harris’ campaign insisted she had not made a decision.
The following day, Wednesday, the United Auto Workers formally endorsed Harris’ presidential bid, and the group’s president, Shawn Fain, told the vice president’s vetting team that organized labor was most excited about Beshear and Walz -– and would not be enthusiastic about Shapiro or Kelly. That’s according to a person familiar with the discussions, who insisted on anonymity to more freely detail private negotiations.
Holder and Remus concluded their initial round of vetting last Thursday, two days after Harris’ Georgia rally.
A long weekend for Harris, advisers and three finalists
On Friday, a panel of Harris advisers and confidants conducted interviews with several contenders before making recommendations to the vice president. The team included former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, senior adviser Cedric Richmond and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada.
Those three, joined by Holder, Remus, O’Malley Dillon and others, made a presentation to Harris on Saturday at the vice president’s official residence in Washington. As she would for court cases or Senate hearings, Harris pored over the relevant materials and talked through options with the group. On a separate track, campaign aides continued their work on the rollout.
On Sunday, Harris welcomed Shapiro, Kelly and Walz for in-person interviews at her Naval Observatory residence.
According to people familiar with the conversations, her 90 minutes with Walz stood out. Harris had also been impressed with Walz’s record as a House member and governor, and his biography before politics: Army National Guard noncommissioned officer, public school teacher, high school football coach. Two politicians gelled.
Kelly seemed to fade first, according to those familiar with the deliberations. And Shapiro’s potential liabilities remained part of the assessment about him. For Shapiro’s part, he made it clear to Harris’ team after his interview that he was struggling with the prospect of being her running mate, feeling he had more to do leading the commonwealth and said he was committed to supporting her and the ticket.
The interviews and conversations with her team had Harris leaning firmly in Walz’s direction but she wanted to sleep on it.
As the famously, even frustratingly deliberative Harris continued pondering her options Monday, her staff continued preparing for multiple scenarios – even dispatching “go teams” to the finalists and writing unique speeches for each of them ahead of settling on her final decision.
But she felt the same Tuesday morning that she did on Monday night — she would go with Walz. Later Tuesday, she was finally ready to make phone calls to the finalists, including to Shapiro and Kelly to let them know her decision to go another direction.
“I think Walz just emerged as that person who she grew to trust and admire,” said Bakari Sellers, who co-chaired Harris’ 2020 Democratic primary bid. “She actually is a vice president and knows what is required of her job, and she wanted someone to support her.”
It turns out Walz was not quite ready for his call. The first time Harris dialed his number, he ignored what showed up as a restricted number. When she dialed again, he answered.
“Listen, I want you to do this with me,” Harris told Walz. “Let’s do this together. Would you be my running mate and let’s get this thing on the road.”

] | null | [] | null | en | /favicon.png | https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-champions-texas-economic-success-at-portland-chamber-of-commerce | Governor Greg Abbott last night championed the Texas economic miracle and the unique business opportunities that continue to attract companies to the state during a fireside chat for the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
“Texas is the headquarters of headquarters, with 52 Fortune 500 companies calling our great state home,” said Governor Abbott. “People come to Texas because of the freedom and opportunity we offer here. Last year, I signed into law House Bill 5, which gives local jurisdictions the economic tools they need to attract businesses to come to Texas or grow their operations within our state. Everyone in Texas has the chance to succeed and thrive. Together, we will build a bigger, better Texas for the next generation of Texans.”
During the fireside chat moderated by Portland Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman Elizabeth Ackman, Governor Abbott highlighted Texas’ successful economic policies that allow businesses large and small to thrive in Texas, including our highly skilled workforce, the newly created Texas Business Courts, and the state’s robust infrastructure with more road miles and airports than any other state. The Governor also touted signing the largest property tax cut in Texas history, putting $18 billion back into the pockets of hardworking Texans. | ||||||

We talked with one of its biggest defenders. | en | /static-assets/icons/favicon.ico | Polygon | https://www.polygon.com/24190936/street-fighter-movie-defense-good-masterpiece | It’s high time for Street Fighter’s redemption arc.
The 1994 adaptation of Capcom’s fighting game series, led by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, has become a bit of a cult hit, but still holds the broader reputation of being an all-time stinker. In some ways, that reputation is deserved — the famously troubled production led to some catastrophic performances, fight sequences, and a generally overstuffed script trying to accomplish too much at once.
Check out Polygon's Spicy Takes Week, our celebration of fun arguments that bring a little extra heat to the table.
But also, Street Fighter rules. Some things about the movie genuinely work – the costume and set design, and Raul Julia’s inspired performance as the villainous M. Bison, in particular – but it’s the unique alchemy of how that mix with what doesn’t that makes Street Fighter a special experience.
The movie follows All-American soldier Colonel Guile (played by All-Belgian movie star Jean Claude Van Damme, a request made by Capcom) and his ragtag group of Allied Nations fighters as they try to take down General M. Bison, the dictator of Shadaloo City who has plans to take over the world (and “make “every Bison dollar [...] worth 5 British pounds. That is the exchange rate the Bank of England will set once I’ve kidnapped their queen.”). Aesthetically and narratively, director Steven E. de Souza steers the film more in line with Vietnam War-era action movies of the 1980s (the real-life disc jockey who inspired Good Morning, Vietnam has a cameo in the movie) than tournament-based movies like Mortal Kombat or Bloodsport.
I watched the movie for the first time this May, and fell for it immediately. Julia’s divine, Shakespearean villainous performance results in one of the most memorable and quotable Hollywood villains of its era, and rightly so. (It was his final role, and one he took for his children, who loved the game.) Even the elements that don’t work are crucial to the final product: Van Damme is plainly disinterested in having anything to do with the movie, and his well-documented cocaine habit on set was a distraction, to say the least. The action sequences don’t resemble those of the Street Fighter games in any meaningful ways, and last-minute schedule changes meant there wasn’t adequate time to rehearse.
Street Fighter also did quite well at the box office, making almost three times its reported production cost and continuing to make Capcom a decent chunk of change to this day. But it was quickly rejected in the broader cultural sphere as another failed Hollywood video game adaptation. I’m not alone in my love for the movie – there is a small, but dedicated community of Street Fighter diehards. Perhaps none are as vocal as cinematographer, director, and host of the “How Would Lubitsch Do It?” podcast Devan Scott. For Polygon’s Spicy Takes Week, I talked to Scott about this ludicrous, ridiculous, wonderful movie, anti-masterpieces, finding value in “trash” art, Paul Verhoeven, The Rise of Skywalker, The Room, and much more.
The question at the heart of the talk was: What is a “good” movie, anyway, and does that even matter?
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Polygon: When did your journey with Street Fighter start for you?
Devan Scott: [I saw it for the first time] in the late 2000s, or in the early 2010s, [with] one of my best friends, Willa. And immediately, we knew it was something special. The film has a strange momentum, this wacky chain of events. The film never lets up. And even the elements about it that don’t work contribute to its momentum. So immediately we watch [and go] Wow. It became kind of a fixture in our lives after that. We watched it probably three or four more times over the years. We quote it constantly.
We became a little bit infamous on a very old — pre-social media — gaming forum. They had a movie subforum. And they would do monthly film polls, and we almost got tossed out of the ’90s poll because you’re not allowed to discuss your ballot before you send it and we each independently put Street Fighter as number one. No one else voted for Street Fighter at all. And we both wrote pretty long essays to try and justify why we thought the movie was actually a major work of ’90s cinema.
So it sounds like it clicked for you on first viewing.
It definitely took some rewatches to understand the dynamics of what made it so interesting. I think on the first rewatch you know, it’s this Oh my god, every line is thudding in the most gorgeous way. And secondly, the main character is a weirdly perfect parody of American imperialism. Subsequent watches deepened it. There are so many little beats that we didn’t pick up on [initially], but I think the bones of what we love about it [were] very clear on day one.
Did you come to it with any affinity or experience with the Street Fighter franchise?
I have never played a Street Fighter game. I don’t know anything about them other than what I’ve gleaned from reading articles about the movie, and how it has nothing to do with it, which is great.
Why on earth did you watch the movie in the first place? Most people at the time hated it. So it wouldn’t have come in with a glowing reputation.
One of the bedrocks of our friendship is that we love bad movies. We’ve tried to scaffold theory around it by calling [them] “anti-masterpieces” when they really work. But we just love bad movies. It was truly Plan 9 from Outer Space that got me into them. Katharine Coldiron coined it “trash cinema,” which is a phrase I like. Films that, in hindsight, I realized I love because they tell the story of their own making. They tell the story of how they fell apart, like that wonderful Polygon article, where you see the story of how the film was falling apart while watching it. Nothing you read in the article is a surprise. It’s just confirming your priors, because the film does such a great job of telling the story of its own dissolution. So I think that’s been a long standing love of mine, is just a deep enthusiasm for films that fail.
Obviously, a lot of people didn’t like the Street Fighter movie when it came out.
With good reason!
Why do you think it was so widely reviled?
It fails at the thing it tries to do. It’s not a good version of what it wants to be.
I would say a big reason is that I don’t think it has a functional plot and characters. I don’t think Colonel Guile is a worthy protagonist. I think the vast majority of the performances don’t work. Kylie Minogue cannot act. The guy who plays Ken [Damian Chapa] is truly without a hint of charisma. And the movie cannot decide who its protagonist is, because obviously the studio wanted as many Street Fighter characters in it as possible. So it cannot settle on a plot. That’s part of why Raul Julia has the platform to do good, because at least the movie settles on a villain.
I also think it’s a flatly ugly film on a cinematographic level, and it’s clear when watching the movie they didn’t have coverage for certain beats, so the editing is often baldly atrocious. They clearly didn’t have time to finish. For example, there’s characters who just show up on screen looking entirely different at the 11th hour, and there’s no explanation other than they really have to shoehorn in the Street Fighter look, right? The film is so patently broken on so many levels, and it also throws into relief the stuff that does work. Is it more patently broken than an actual hit, like Transformers 2? I don’t know. But it’s obviously, palpably, a mess on most levels. I say that as someone who has bought the movie twice.
I think what Van Damme has got going on in that movie, or what he doesn’t have going on, contributes a lot to that. He’s clearly not interested in being a part of the movie at all, and was famously difficult to work with on the set. I think it strangely then helps the movie be the thing that it is, and if he was more committed in his performance, I don’t think it would be as special.
There’s a friend of mine, an experimental filmmaker, Bram Ruiter, and we were talking about the movie Bad Lieutenant, the Herzog one. He watched it and said, “This movie is broken. But clearly Werner Herzog understands that some movies should be broken.” That’s a fully intentional film. That film is exactly what it wants to be. It is a travesty of its own script. Herzog knew what he was doing. And he made a broken movie. And I love that movie for it. Nicolas Cage is maybe my favorite living American actor, and that’s my favorite performance of his.
So I think Street Fighter is a great example of that. Imagine the good version of this movie. I don’t mean that good, but like the version it wants to be. A competent PG-13 movie that depicts a weirdly pseudo-Vietnam War-style take on the Street Fighter subject. So let’s say it’s a good version of that with none of the other things. I think it wouldn’t be half as remarkable, right? It would just be yet another blockbuster, but because it’s broken, we’re talking about it now.
You’ve called Street Fighter “the greatest accidental Verhoeven movie,” and I would love to hear a little bit more just directly from you about that reading.
Specifically I’m referring to the project Verhoeven was up to in especially the mid-to-late ’90s, with Basic Instinct, but especially Starship Troopers and Showgirls. I think they’re like sister films to each other, because they both operate on the same principle, which is that you’re watching a film that does not overtly tip its hand to the fact that it is deliberately a satire that’s undercutting its own dramatics. Starship Troopers is a film that on its face is — and I mistook it for this when I was a kid — a bad dumb action movie that played into the tropes. But it’s a piece of literal fascist propaganda that Verhoeven has constructed to pass as an American blockbuster, with the hope of those of us who were in on the joke seeing the parallels between the two. He’s essentially equating American blockbusters circa the mid-1990s with fascist propaganda circa 1935. There’s explicit references to Triumph of the Will and the works of Leni Riefenstahl in that film. So that film is a deliberate travesty on its own subject matter.
And Showgirls is similar, right? What Starship Troopers is to the Robert Heinlein book and fascist propaganda and American action cinema, Showgirls is to ’90s sex movies… and All About Eve, weirdly. And so with Street Fighter, essentially, let’s operate not on the logic that the filmmakers are on, but on what it is, which is a travesty on a slightly Rambo-esque story of a gung ho, all-American man, a blockbuster about him taking down this tin pot dictator. And the film that we got operates on the same principles as Verhoeven, where it doesn’t tip its hand to the fact that it is satirizing this even though it is – it just doesn’t know it. Although in some ways, it kind of knows it. It’s just that in the times that it kind of pokes fun at itself, it is weirdly less successful than the times that it doesn’t intend to.
So if Verhoeven films are thoughtful satires fronting as the things they’re satirizing, then Street Fighter is the thing it’s satirizing that accidentally stumbled into being a thoughtful satire. Because I think it truly is. There’s so many moments in the film where I’m like, Good God, this is the Bush Jr. era. This is the Iraq War. This is “We want to take this guy down, leave international law behind, let’s go get him and then we’ll win and have a little jump freeze frame at the end.” You can pretty much put “mission accomplished” over that final title card. It would apply.
The reputations of Starship Troopers and Showgirls have been somewhat mended over time. What do you think it would take for Street Fighter to get there?
I don’t know if we can get there. I’ve tried. Lord, I’ve tried. But I tend to think that cult rediscoveries of these films tend to happen within a decade or two at most. Ed Wood was rediscovered within a decade of his death. I saw The Room in 2006, and I’m just a rando in Vancouver. And so that’s only three years for it to kind of seed, and then it kind of exploded and you got the James Franco nonsense. So I think that it’s almost too dated now. And I would hope that Street Fighter will get re-discovered. I think it might take that online groundswell and just some major people with clout going, “Hey, this is accidentally great satire.” But I don’t think it’ll get a Speed Racer-like rediscovery, for example, because Speed Racer is a good movie.
It feels like a central part of the anti-masterpiece theory is that it showcases the collision between the artistic and commercial concerns in film.
Oh, yeah. And that’s why The Rise of Skywalker is, I think, an incredible film, because it’s not the story of Luke Skywalker, or Rey, or Kylo, or whatever. It’s not the story of them. It’s the story of a bunch of idiot Disney executives trying to course correct for a movie that received backlash, and trying to please two irreconcilable groups of toxic fans at once. That’s why it’s amazing. All these films become character studies of their own creators, and in a weird way, if The Room is an obvious example of a film that’s a character study of Mr. Tommy Wiseau, Street Fighter is obviously a character study of what America thinks of itself circa the ‘90s.
I see the connection between the movies, but to me, one difference is that I think there’s quite a bit about the Street Fighter movie that actually works: Raul Julia’s performance, the production design, the costuming, and some of the jokes even landing. Rise of Skywalker less so for me.
I happen to think Rise of Skywalker, on a purely visual level, is pretty darn good. Everyone involved in that movie shat the bed in many ways, and that’s been litigated well. The movie is very visually striking to me. It’s a perfectly composed picture of a pile of smelly dog shit. It’s still a picture of dogshit but... it’s well composed.
Is it crucial to an anti-masterpiece that some parts of it actually work?
I don’t know actually, because I’m trying to think of the worst one of those. Like Foodfight!. Nothing in that movie works and that’s one of my most dearly-held movies. This gets back to one of my probably more radical theories. I didn’t come up with this theory, but it’s one I subscribe to: All movies are documentaries. A narrative film is a documentary of its own making, as a baseline. It can be more than that.
So for example, as a piece of narrative cinema, Foodfight! is not functional in any single way at all. I can’t think of a single thing about that movie that I think is better than disastrous, cataclysmic, and yet, I dearly love that movie, because it so effectively tells the story of a megalomaniacal egomaniac guy who just really desperately wanted to do Toy Story, but make it even more commercial. And again, failing in every step of the way. The fact that they lost that film’s files shows up on screen and it’s hilarious. The fact that the film trots out explicit Nazi symbolism in a children’s movie... that is as shocking as any John Carpenter scare I can think of. It boils your blood and I love that. It makes me feel angry. So yeah, I don’t think a movie has to have any good elements to be a worthy movie.
What do you think these movies can teach us about how we watch movies?
That’s an interesting one. I think the default way that we’re trained to watch movies, we’re expected to take the film on the terms it sets out. And then if the film works, we accept it on the terms it sets out. Or if the film doesn’t work, we reject it on the terms it sets out. And that’s treated as a binary between good and bad movies, essentially. And it’s kind of a contract between you and the film, right?
It’s not just unilateral, the film setting out terms. [Michael Haneke’s] Funny Games succeeds wildly on the terms it sets out, but I would not expect more than a couple thousand people worldwide to actually like it. I say this as someone who really respects that movie. What I think my kind of few decades-long love of bad movies has taught me is that it’s just as valuable, and I think even, to me, more valuable, to approach movies in a more open-minded way. In a way that approaches them as objects to be studied. And that can be just as interesting.
If a movie doesn’t succeed on its own terms, what else is it doing? How else can we get into the movie? To go back to The Room, it’s an accidental documentary character study of Tommy Wiseau. And so there’s literally limitless reasons that art movies, even mainstream narrative cinema, can be interesting. Watching bad movies, I think, opened me up to not just other bad movies, but to re-examining all of cinema from that lens.
There’s a new Street Fighter movie in the works. I know it’s not gonna be what you want out of a Street Fighter movie, but do you have a wish list?
The idea of interest in franchises is still to this day very alien to me. For example, the three Lord of the Rings films Peter Jackson made were some of the most formative film experiences of my life, like [for] many people of my generation. I probably saw Return of the King in theaters four times. And I was like 13. It was a big, big deal for me. I was totally obsessed as a teenager. And yet I could not care less about The Rings of Power. I watched one Hobbit film and then checked out on the other two just because I found it completely uninteresting.
Same thing with Star Wars, where I think part of why I love Rise of Skywalker is that even though I think Star Wars 1977 and Empire Strikes Back are two of the great masterpieces in pop cinema, I truly have zero attachment to that franchise. I couldn’t care less if a film was good or bad. I just found Rise of Skywalker incredible. That doesn’t mean I reject it. I think Andor is actually great. A couple friends of mine successfully lobbied me to watch Andor, which I did under duress. And I thought it was terrific. But point being I would say that I truly can’t think of anything to say about the idea of a new Street Fighter, because to me, it’s no more or less interesting than any random film. So if you had said like, they’re gonna make a Mortal Kombat movie, or like, a Battletoads movie? I would just say, good, knock ‘em out. If someone convinces me to watch it, I’ll see it.
Any final statement on your defense of Street Fighter?
I think that the heart of the anti-masterpiece “theory” is that, the idea of a film being good or bad, and that being a determinant of its worth, is a secondary variable. That worth is determined by much more than that. And to me, that’s the heart of what I love about cinema. It’s why I have a hard time actually picking favorites. I have films that I think are admirable films, that move me personally, films that I think are great in many ways, but I truly have a hard time – as much as I love ranking, I truly struggle with it. Because I don’t think my favorite movies are good or bad, or even better than other movies that aren’t my favorite. They just have a place for me in my heart of movies. And I really advocate for people divorcing themselves from the idea that good means good.
Street Fighter is available for digital rental or purchase on Amazon and Apple TV. | ||||

] | 2024-08-07T10:40:16+00:00 | Give us a chance | en | gamesradar | https://www.gamesradar.com/games/horror/silent-hill-2-remake-devs-are-dreaming-that-gamers-will-trust-us-after-a-mixed-run-but-know-that-trust-is-earned-through-actions/ | The CEO of the studio remaking Silent Hill 2 is asking unconvinced fans to "give us a chance."
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bloober Team boss Piotr Babieno touches on the general vibe towards the Silent Hill 2 remake right now. Some fans feel mixed about the studio's body of work, Konami's general form with the series, or how hush-hush development has been.
"I am dreaming that gamers will trust us, but I realize that trust is earned through actions, not through words," he says. "So that's why we have a policy of not commenting [on the specifics of the game] and raising hopes. We want to show our ambitions through our work, so we can't ask for anything more than 'give us a chance.'"
Babieno goes on to say that Bloober Team allows its devs to focus on their work with "peace of mind," but feedback to other games proves "invaluable in refining our project before its release."
Some fans' apprehension towards the Silent Hill 2 remake is rooted in Bloober Team's back catalogue, which can be hit or miss depending on who you ask. For example, we gave the "groundbreaking" Layers of Fear a perfect score, but the more recent The Medium half of that, remarking that it would be "hard to see this mildly spooky adventure as anything other than a misstep." The team's Blair Witch game did not win hearts either, with our review noting that "the Blair Witch is scary, but the bugs are scarier."
It is, perhaps, The Medium that generates the most chatter. Bloober Team's depiction of mental health remains debated among fans, and that's a persistent theme in Silent Hill 2.
It's not all on Bloober Team, though. Silent Hill's latest outing, a Twitch plays-style interactive streaming series, did not go down well. Fans took issue with wonky online infrastructure, microtransactions, and a live chat with unbalanced moderation – good luck typing "Hideo Kojima," for example. One player was so unhappy with it that they said Ascension made "the pachinko game look like a heartfelt passion project." Grim.
Issues currently lie with both the developer and publisher, then. With all that in mind, maybe it's wise to simply crack on and let the game speak for itself. It's not helping a great deal now, but it could pay off when the Silent Hill 2 remake launches on October 8 for PS5. | |||||

] | null | [] | null | en | /favicon.ico | null | Star Soldier (スターソルジャー) is an arcade-style vertical shooter developed by Hudson Soft and released in 1986 for the Famicom and MSX in Japan, and in 1989 for the NES in North America. Building upon other mid-80s shmups, Star Soldier is a fast-paced and agile, yet simple shmup. Being designed specifically with Hudson’s Caravan Festival competition in mind, Star Soldier places heavy emphasis on enemy quantity, variety, and competitive high-scores.
The resulting success of the title would lead to numerous sequels, spinoffs, and crossovers. The continued success of Hudson’s Caravan competition would also give rise to similar shmup tournaments from other publishers, such as Naxat Soft's Summer Carnival which involved Recca and Alzadick, and further expanding the competitive shmup audience in Japan.

Story
“A strange and evil presence is lurking in space. Crushing Everything in its path, destroying spaceships full of innocent people, the fearsome Starbrain is threatening the entire Galactic Empire. Starbrain, a giant computer programmed only for destruction, inhabits an enormous space station, guarded by enemy ships and robot creatures. To penetrate the station is a job for the most skillful and experienced Star Soldier: you! You'll be piloting Caesar, the fastest fighter ship in the Galactic Fleet, with an awesome arsenal of weapons at your fingertips. Only you can end the brutal Starbrain's spree of destruction, and restore peace to the galaxy!” - NA manual
Gameplay Overview
Star Soldier is a one-button shooter. There is a low-rate negligible auto-fire that greatly increases once as the player collects their first upgrade. Movement is 8-directional and environments scroll vertically. Movement is relatively agile for a shooter of the period.
The gameplay of Star Soldier is relatively simple. Stages scroll vertically and enemy attacks consist primarily of small aimed shots. There is a greater emphasis on large enemy quantities and environmental elements than having a large amount of on-screen bullets.
There are a total of 16 stages with 2 alternating bosses. If the player fails to defeat the boss within a given time-limit, the player is brought back to the midway point of the level and they must clear it once more until they successfully defeat the end-stage boss.
Controls
A/B: Fire
A/B (Hold): Auto-Fire
Start: Begin Game & Pause
D-Pad: Movement
Power Levels
There are power-up capsules hidden within the P-mark ground targets that can be collected after the player has sufficiently damaged them.
Catching a single capsule increases the rate of auto-fire significantly. Two capsules adds a tailgun. Collecting three gives the player five lines of fire (one forward and four diagonally in the front and back), as well as a shield. The shield is able to absorb shots enemy bullets, but does not prevent death from crashing into enemies.
Getting shot once while shielded decreases the player's lines of fire back to three. Getting hit five times eliminates the shield.
Trap Zones
A unique feature of levels in Star Soldier are so-called “Trap Zones”. Throughout the levels, the player can dive in the background and become protected against enemy bullets and collisions. During this state, the player is also unable to return fire or collect items.
Strategy
With such a simple premise, the best strategy for Star Soldier is to eliminate enemies as quickly as possible before they progress to a point-blank range. Ground targets can interfere with the player’s range, but can be quickly disbursed.
Enemy patterns, trap zone locations, Zeg locations, and power-up locations are all consistent throughout runs, while enemy attacks and pursuit are variable. This combined with the score-chasing nature of Star Soldier makes it in many ways a hybrid between a memorizer and a traditional fast-paced shmup. The player will likely have to repeat stages multiple times to calculate their optimal path, if not due to losing as their are no continues.
Trap Zones can serve as both a blessing and a curse, so it's important to note their locations to both use them effectively and avoid accidentally missing out on points/power-ups by slipping under one. Slipping out of a trap zone is a matter of simply moving towards the edge of the object and onto it's surface, but they are not telegraphed.
A common strategy is to take a single deliberate hit upon collecting four power-ups, as the five lines of fire mode reduces your forward shot to just a single beam rather than two. Returning to the three lanes of fire mode allows you to deal damage to individual targets and bosses more effectively while still allowing you to tank four additional shots if needed.
Trivia
Star Soldier was created to be a spiritual successor to Tehkan’s arcade title Star Force, following the success of the Hudson-developed port of Star Force to the Famicom both commercially and in the first Caravan Festival.
An enhanced port to of Star Soldier to the Super Famicom was released in 1995 as part of the Caravan Shooting Collection, alongside Hector '87 and the Hudson Famicom port of Star Force. This version features additional sound channels allowing music and sound effects to play at the same time, as well as removal of sprite-flicker and slowdown present in the NES/Famicom version.
Star Soldier was given a quasi-remake/sequel for the PS2, Gamecube, and PSP as Volume 2 of the Hudson Selection series. It features fully redone 2.5D visuals, controllable ship speed, a secondary close-range attack option, A new a heavy metal rendition of the original's soundtrack, new unlockable ships, new stages, and new bosses alongside remakes of some of the original stages. It also includes the 2 minute and 5 minute Caravan modes featured in games from Hector '87 onward. | ||||||

There are times when what you wish for comes true. These times are few and far between, and should be treasured, clutched like a jewel to the breast. Hudson has delivered this jewel - a treasured toy from your childhood, a memory long buried but no less vivid for it. They've given us a remake by which all others should be judged, one that accomplishes what seemed impossible: the original game, polished to a high sheen and remade in polygons, with an arranged soundtrack that evokes memories of old without sounding entirely familar, and with features plucked from the whole series.
This is Star Soldier. First brought to life on the Famicom/NES, and later refined on the PC Engine/TurboGrafx, Star Soldier as a series defined the console shmup for years. Fast, addictive, and difficult, these were the watchwords of the day and Hudson remembers them well. So focused on the past was Hudson that the game not only plays the same and better, but it includes original TV commercials from the old days as unlockable omake (bonus) items. And it's cheap - a mere �3,000 (or less) in Japan.
The basic tenet of the game is simple: If it moves, kill it. This is a scoring shooter, but in a refreshing throwback to the old days there's no memorization required to chain kills or acquire powerups. A swarm of enemies will appear, and you have to kill them or let them leave the screen, and you have to avoid their bullets. The sooner you kill a swarm the faster another will appear. Top scoring, then, demands you kill the swarms as fast as you can. Simply allowing them to leave the screen takes far longer, and you'll never accumulate the mad scores that way.
There's one primary weapon, which is familiar to everyone who's played the older games. It starts as a single forward shot and upgrades to a dual forward, dual forward + single backward, then the five-way shot. Holding the button gives you a rapid-fire assault, but rapid button bashing gives you a double-power shot, and I guarantee you'll have sore hands from this. It's worth investigating a joystick purchase. There's no bomb, but there is a new charge shot - it's always ready for instant use, but takes about two seconds to recharge. It's a sort of limited-range shotgun blast that kills enemies and their bullets, and it's much more powerful than your standard attack. There is at least one other weapon, though it's kind of hidden the way the bonuses are - shoot a certain location and a block is uncovered that, when shot some more, releases a powerup.
The game takes most of the enemies and levels from the original Star Soldier, and adds a few extras from the PC Engine outings like the 2- and 5-minute games. These are quick little sub-games culminating in a boss fight, and the object is the same as the game: Kill the swarms as fast as possible to maxmimize your score. There are hidden bonuses which accumulate in value, as well as special secret bonuses when you accomplish a certain goal, like killing two larger enemies at the same time. The main game and two sub-games share the same basic elements, though the levels, swarm-patterns and bonus locations are different for each.
Visually the game is competant, though never really amazing. The occasional bout of slowdown appears during replays (The top scoring game is saved for posterity) but rarely during the main game. The music is excellent, and in my mind the electric guitar sound is far better suited to shmups than the sad elevator music Taito or Cave apply to their games. Star Soldier's music is more like Gate of Thunder than any recent game, and that's entirely a good thing.
I'm convinced that games I like, those with 'oldschool' values, simply won't sell, and I think that's a shame. Many people lament the passing of 2D games and, more importantly, 2D gaming values. Simple to learn, hard to master - that's the way it should be, and modern games have that reversed. You should buy Star Soldier, not only because it's cheap, but because it's excellent, and Hudson deserves your money. No caveats, it's good, go get it.
As an aside, yes I know I didn't mention the N64 Star Soldier, but that's because it sucks. You'll notice there are no pics of it in the Gallery either. | ||||||||

Produced by Hudson Soft and developed by Now Production, it’s the third entry in Hudson’s flagship Star Soldier line of vertical shooters. Upholding series tradition, it served as the centerpiece of that year’s Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival, a long-running (1985-2006) annual high score contest the company used to promote its latest games. It’s well-designed, attractively presented alien blasting. It’s…well, it’s more Star Soldier. See what I mean? Only one paragraph into this review and I’m already running short of material.
When dealing with a franchise this consistent, I’m probably best off adopting a Mega Man approach. That is, getting the boilerplate stuff out of the way as quickly as possible so I can focus instead on the subtle tweaks that make a specific installment ever so slightly different from what came before. Here goes!
Final Soldier has a classic space shooter plot, in that it’s short, sweet, and confined entirely to the instruction booklet. Time travelling aliens called the Gader’el are attacking 23rd century Earth and the experimental Dryad fighter craft is humanity’s last line of defense. Its mission encompasses seven lengthy stages set in a variety of conventional video game locales, such as outer space, the ocean, and a futuristic city. Each zone has a pushover mid-boss and a tougher end boss, except the final one, which is an extended running battle against the ultimate baddie and its swarm of minions. Nothing special, but kudos to the developers for not padding the finale out with a lazy boss rush like so many other shooters of the era.
The weapon system is where things get interesting. The Dryad has a machine gun type main shot by default and this can be swapped out for energy waves, lasers, or a flamethrower by picking up icons of the appropriate color dropped by defeated enemies. Grabbing multiple same colored icons in a row will level-up your current weapon, increasing its area of effect and damage. Upgraded weapons also double as armor, since getting hit while wielding one results in a loss of firepower in lieu of instant death. Missiles and Gradius style option pods round out your arsenal, which is a pretty typical one by genre standards. Final Soldier’s ace in the hole is the Set-Up menu accessed from the title screen. Here, you can change the properties of the energy wave, laser, flamethrower, and missiles (though not the machine gun for some reason). The three modes available for a given weapon have a profound effect on its operation. For example, the normal straight laser shot can be swapped out for a chaotic torrent of blue bubbles. This effectively ups the number of unique weapons in the game from a modest five to a generous thirteen. Even the option pods have a nifty secondary function: You can sacrifice them as needed to trigger a full-screen super attack.
Another factor that differentiates Final Soldier from earlier Star Soldier outings is its relative ease. Super Star Soldier pushed my patience to the limit with its grueling, glitchy last area. Someone behind the scenes must have felt the same way, because there’s nothing remotely comparable here. Final Soldier’s default difficulty setting will be a cakewalk for any experienced player. Not that I’m complaining. It’s a more casual “kick back and blaze away” experience and reminds me of some of my favorite Compile-developed shooters in this regard. If you’re a fellow Gun-Nac or Space Megaforce fan, you’ll be right at home. Besides, I can always throw Super Star Soldier back on if I want an ass kicking.
So there you have it: Final Soldier is the same tried-and-true Star Soldier formula with a deeper than average weapon system and a relaxed approach to challenge. Between its crisp graphics, high energy music, silky smooth control, and viscerally satisfying shooting action, you really can’t go wrong with this one. While I wouldn’t rank it at the very top of the PCE heap with Air Zonk and Blazing Lazers, it’s still a highly competent work with no outstanding flaws. Pity it was destined to be the “lost” Star Soldier game back in the day, having never been ported to the North American TurboGrafx-16 like its predecessor, Super Star Soldier, or its sequel, Soldier Blade. Sequel? Why, of course! You didn’t think this was the final one, did you? | |||||

Classic Board Games
Scrabble
Scrabble is a beloved word game and one of the best board games of all time. It's like a giant word jumble with endless possibilities. Players are given a set number of wooden letter tiles to begin, and each letter is assigned a different point value. You will immediately start analyzing your letter tiles to see what possible word combinations you might be able to create to play the most point-rich words.
You'll want pen and paper nearby to keep track of your scores, and you'll also probably want a dictionary—it will come in handy when the validity of a word undoubtedly gets challenged. Once one player has used all his or her tiles the game ends and points are tallied, but whoever ends up with the most points is the real winner.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to six | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: One to two hours
The Game of Life
We remember playing this game as kids and dreaming about all the possibilities (and responsibilities) that came with being a grown-up—college, marriage, kids, insurance! In this classic game, players each receive a plastic car to maneuver around the game board that represents the move through multiple stages of life, from picking a college to enjoying sweet retirement.
The premise of this game is to go through life making smart decisions and eventually be the player who retires first and with the most money. It's a great game for kids to learn about life lessons in an approachable way, and it's sure to spark some good conversations when you play together as a family.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to four | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: 30 to 60 minutes
Clue
Clue is a suspenseful murder mystery game that turns everyone into a detective. There's been a murder in the Boddy Mansion, and it's up to you to find the culprit. There are only six suspects, and you are one of them. Move your game pieces through the rooms and secret passageways of the mansion depicted on the game board to look for clues.
Who murdered poor Mr. Boddy? What weapon was used? And where did the incident take place? The more clues you find, the more you will be able to narrow down the many possible answers to those questions. It's a race against your fellow players to be the first to put all the pieces of this mystery together. No matter your age, it's always a thrill when you finally solve the crime.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to six | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: 15 or more minutes
Candy Land
The sweet game of Candy Land conjures up fond childhood memories for us. The whimsical board game features landmarks like a candy cane forest and gumdrop mountains and colorful characters like Mr. Mint and Princess Frostine.
The premise of Candy Land is simple, making this a game that even the youngest family members can enjoy. King Kandy is lost and the players are in a race to find him. Players take turns drawing from a stack of cards that tell them where to go on the board. Cards indicate the next move by either color for the next square to move to or a picture of a landmark. The first player to reach the end of the board and find King Kandy wins.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to four | Recommended Age: 3 and up | Playing Time: 30 or more minutes
Monopoly
The first official Monopoly game hit the market in 1935, and this game of buying property has been creating real estate titans ever since. The board game requires risk and luck, as players buy and trade properties while trying to not get thrown in jail.
If you have the funds, players are allowed to buy available properties. You can then make income during the game by charging the other players' rent if they land on any of the spaces that you own. In order to win the game, you have to bankrupt your opponents, which can take a while. The idea is to buy enough property on the same part of the board that you create a monopoly and eventually the other players won't be able to afford to pay your rent anymore.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to six | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: One to two hours
Chess
When a game has endured as long as Chess has (we're talking nearly 1,500 years!) you know it's worth playing. In this classic two-player game, you and your opponent have the same 16 pieces to maneuver across a 64-square game board, with the ultimate goal being to checkmate your opponent's king piece. Game pieces consist of pawns, rooks, bishops, knights, a queen, and a king, and there are different rules about how each piece can move. We think it's helpful to keep a cheat sheet handy.
The best piece of advice we can give for this game is to take a step back and assess the whole situation before making a big move. Turns out, Chess is also a pretty good metaphor for life.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: 30 minutes or more
Cribbage
Cribbage is a math-based game of strategy that has been around for centuries. To play, you just need a deck of cards and a cribbage board. There are a number of rules to play and scoring, so the game might move slow when you are first starting. If you can, pick up the rules from a (very patient) experienced player, or learn to play with a fellow newbie. Cribbage is great for two players but can accommodate up to three.
The game consists of a series of rounds where players strategically play cards in their hands to score certain points. The cribbage board keeps track of the score, as players move their pegs along the path. To win, be the first player to score 121 points.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to three | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: 30 minutes or more
Backgammon
Backgammon is another board game that has been around for centuries. The game has an iconic look that you're sure to recognize, whether or not you've ever actually played before. The playing area consists of 24 triangles of alternating colors and a bar down the middle of the board. The game is often incorporated into a folding case, which makes for easy cleanup and storage.
To play, you are responsible for moving a set of 15 checkers around the board, with moves dictated by the rolling of two dice. The first player to successfully "cast off," or remove, all of his or her checkers from the game wins. Backgammon is a two-person game that definitely requires strategy, but there's a little bit of luck involved, too.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two | Recommended Age: 13 and up | Playing Time: Not listed
Checkers
Don't let the simple looks of this game fool you; there can be a lot of excitement in a game of checkers. You and your opponent are each responsible for 12 uniform game pieces, which you are allowed to move diagonally across the 8x8 checkerboard. Maneuver a piece all the way across the board and you get to crown a king; jump an opponent's piece and you get to capture it and remove it from play. To win, capture all of your opponent's checkers, or position your pieces in such a way that there are no available moves for the other player.
Checkers is relatively easy to learn, making it a great way to introduce younger players to games of strategy.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two | Recommended Age: 6 and up | Playing Time: 20 to 30 minutes
Chinese Checkers
Chinese Checkers is an approachable multiplayer strategy game that you can play with your whole family. The wooden game board features a series of holes in the shape of a six-pointed star. Each point on the star is home to 10 colored pegs or marbles. Whether you play with two people or six, the object of the game is the same: Be the first player to move all 10 of your pegs/marbles into the star point directly across from you. Players take turns moving one of their pieces at a time. You can only move one space at a time. However, if you have arranged your pieces in such a way that you can jump over them, you can advance multiple spaces in a single play much to the chagrin of your fellow players.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two | Recommended Age: 6 and up | Playing Time: 20 to 30 minutes
Strategy Board Games
Risk
Feel what it's like to rule the world in a game of Risk. In this game, a map of the world is spread out on the game board, and all of the continents are broken up into territories. The end goal is for one player to conquer all 42 territories and eliminate the other players along the way. But first, a little diplomacy is required to get there.
Make alliances (and then break alliances) as you slowly start to conquer more territory, but be cautious—if you're willing to break an alliance, then you know your opponents will be, too. We should add a time warning on this one: A complete game of Risk can last upward of a few hours, making this a great choice for people who like to make games an hours-long activity. Nobody ever said total world domination would happen quickly.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to five | Recommended Age: 10 and up | Playing Time: One to two hours
Carcassonne
Watch fields, roads, and cities rapidly expand in the Medieval-themed game Carcassonne. Players take turns placing one of the game tiles in an attempt to build up their land. After placing a tile, you can score points by putting a "follower" piece on the items you built. The role and subsequent point value of a follower varies depending on what piece of property you put them on. For instance, a follower placed on a monastery tile is a monk who earns different points than a follower placed on a road tile as a thief.
With every turn, you'll have to decide if it's worth it to place a tile that adds to your property, or if you'd rather strategically place a tile that messes up your opponent's plans. Calculate your moves carefully, because once all the tiles have been played, the player with the most points wins.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to five | Recommended Age: 7 and up | Playing Time: 30 to 45 minutes
Ticket to Ride
All aboard! The stakes are high in this game to see who can visit the most cities in North America in just seven days. In Ticket to Ride, players lay claim to railroads across the United States and Canada and compete to connect the most cities with their trains. Draw cards to see what kind of train car you can play or what your next destination might be. Earn points for placing trains and for successfully connecting two destination cities.
The game ends when a player has less than two trains remaining, and bonus points are then awarded to the player who created the longest continuous route. The player with the most points wins. You have a ticket to ride, so where will your journey take you?
Plus, if you like the original, there are also spin-offs, including Ticket to Ride: Europe and Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails.

Catan
Welcome to the beautiful, resource-rich island of Catan. In this award-winning game, you and your fellow players are settlers on the island working to build up your settlements and cities. Different parts of the island provide different resources and you will have to barter and trade with your opponents to get what you need.
The game board is made up of 19 different hexagonal tiles that allow for a different layout each time, so no two games are the same. Accrue victory points for various cultural achievements—for example, one point for a settlement, two points for having the largest army. Players keep their victory cards concealed during play to throw off opponents as the first one to reach 10 victory points wins.
Catan is a game of strategy that is suitable for both adults and older kids. Add one or more Catan expansion packs to allow for additional players and levels of strategy.

Stratego
Stratego is like a Napoleonic version of capture the flag. In this two-person game of military moves, players arrange all 40 of their game pieces in whatever order they choose. There are 12 different kinds of pieces, and each plays a different role that needs to be considered during setup.
There are many layers of strategy involved in a successful setup, making this game as enjoyable for adults as it is for kiddos. Once all of the pieces have been arranged, game play commences as you make your way into enemy territory in an effort to locate your opponent's flag. Tread carefully—there are bombs planted to throw you off track and spies doing recon for the enemy. The player to successfully capture the opposing army's flag wins.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two | Recommended Age: 8 and up | Playing Time: 45 minutes
Battleship
In this two-person game of strategy, players secretly arrange their ships on a lettered and numbered 10x10 grid and then try to locate and destroy their opponent's fleet. There are two grids for each player. One grid is used for placing your own vessels and tracking hits made against you, while the second grid is for marking the hits targeted at your opponent.
Take turns firing shots by calling out one of the grid's plot points. If a hit doesn't strike a ship, it's considered a miss and pegged with white pieces. If a hit makes contact with a ship, then that strike gets pegged with red. The number of hits each kind of vessel can sustain before it sinks is varied. After some initial exploratory firing, you will likely start to figure out the location of your opponent's ships and begin to deal the fatal blows. It's a battle on the high seas!

Dominion
Dominion is a medieval-themed, deck-building game where players compete to acquire the most valuable cards. Each game contains 500 cards. There are no other game pieces involved besides the cards, and most of the cards indicate how they can be used, making this a relatively quick game to learn.
Each player starts with the same 10 cards and then works to build up his or her own deck. There are cards that dictate which actions can be made during your turn, treasure cards that are used as currency, and victory cards, which score you points at the end of the game. Gameplay ends once the last victory card has been purchased or three or more stacks run out of cards. The player with the highest number of victory points wins. Dominion is approachable for older kids but equally fun for adults.

Axis & Allies
Axis & Allies is another exciting military-strategy board game. It's great fun for history buffs as it's based on World War II, but throughout game play, the course of history can be altered. Players represent the Axis powers and the Allied powers. In every turn, they get to make both combat and non-combat moves across the globe as well as decide what military units to build and whether or not to fund research.
If you haven't played before, definitely read through the rules first—there are a lot of moving parts to keep track of. Depending on the agreed-upon end goal, the aim is for your powers to have control of 13 to 18 of the victory cities. It's worth noting here that a game of Axis & Allies can last a while—as in multiple hours. Will the Allied or Axis powers prevail?
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to five | Recommended Age: 12 and up | Playing Time: Four hours
Blokus
For a quick game of strategy, we recommend Blokus—it's like Tetris with a twist. Each player is given a set of 21 tiles in a specific playing color, and every tile in that set is a different geometric figure.
To start the game, each player places the tile of his or her choosing in one of the corners of the 400-square game board. As play continues, it grows increasingly tricky to place your tiles on the board. Tiles of the same color are only allowed to touch at one corner, while tiles of different colors may share sides. With every move, you'll want to size up the tiles remaining in your set to determine which of those shapes will best fit into the available spaces. Try to play all 21 of your tiles to win Blokus.

Agricola
In Agricola, if you work hard and play smart, your farm will flourish. The game is based on the premise that you are a farmer in 17th century Europe, and as such, you must perform the necessary duties to take care of your animals and land and provide for your family. Work the fields and build up your homestead. Then grow your family to have more helping hands—but make sure you have enough resources to feed them come harvest.
There are six harvests in a 14-round game of Agricola. Players accrue points during that time for things like owning animals, having fenced-in stables, and building bigger houses. After the final round has been played, the farmer with the most points (and likely the most prosperous farm) wins.

Board Games for Adults
Trivial Pursuit
Baby zebras are born without stripes. True or false? Put your knowledge to the test with the classic game of Trivial Pursuit.
There are more than 2,000 questions covering sports & leisure, science & nature, art & culture, geography, entertainment, and history in this ultimate game of trivia. Players travel around the wheel-shaped game board and answer questions from the different categories. Colored squares along the game path denote which category to pull from. If you answer a question right, you get to go again. Collect one pie-shape game piece when you land on each category hub, then be the first player to make it to the center of the board where you must answer one final question to win. If you don't feel like getting out the board, you can always just answer the questions for fun.

Cards Against Humanity
Don't try to be prim and proper while playing Cards Against Humanity. The game consists of black cards that have open-ended statements and questions on them and white cards that have a variety of funny, inappropriate, and weird words and phrases on them.
Each round, a new player gets to act as the judge and plays one of the open-ended black cards. Everyone else then selects one of the white phrase cards from their hands and submits them to the judge. The judge shuffles the white cards and reads them aloud to the group before selecting a favorite.
This laugh-out-loud game is adults-only for a reason. Play simply for the laughter that is sure to ensue, or award points for each winning white card to see who is the best at being bad.

Yahtzee
We love that there's no limit to how many people can play the fun game of Yahtzee, the dice game where it's all up to the luck of the roll. Each round, players receive three opportunities to roll up to five dice. After each roll, you can evaluate the dice and choose which, if any, you want to roll again. You are looking for a pattern that will work for one of the 13 possible Yahtzee categories. At the end of your turn, choose which category you will use for that round and tally the score accordingly. You can only use a category once per game, so choose carefully. If you land all five dice on the same number, it's called a Yahtzee (feel free to shout it out). At 50 points, a Yahtzee is the highest possible score you can roll. Play up to 13 rounds and then tally your scores; the player with the highest score wins.

Pictionary
Pictionary is a party game suitable for players of all ages. Teams take turns drawing and guessing as many words or phrases as possible in a timed round. You might think a game of drawing sounds easy, but this game can be more difficult than it seems. The path on the Pictionary game board is comprised of different colored squares, each denoting a different level of difficulty for a word on the corresponding game card. Players take turns drawing things like "buck teeth" and "sand trap" for their teammates to guess.
Play using the board and be the first team to make it all the way to the finish line, or ditch the board altogether and play just for the laughs.

Apples to Apples
We dare you to try and keep a straight face during a game of Apples to Apples. This clever party game will have everyone laughing out loud.
Each box contains a set of green apple cards, which have adjectives on them, and a set of red apple cards, which have nouns on them. Each round, a new player gets to be the judge and presents a green apple card to the group. The rest of the players select one of the red apple cards from their hands to play. Sometimes the nouns match the adjectives perfectly, sometimes they make no sense at all, and sometimes they are downright hysterical. Once everyone has contributed a red card, the judge chooses a favorite.
Depending on your group you could play just for fun, or designate a set number of rounds and see who can play the most winning cards in that time.

Scattergories
Scattergories is a fun list-making game that requires thinking fast. The idea of the game is to come up with creative answers to 12 different categories—things like TV shows, U.S. presidents, vegetables, or types of sandwiches—in a short period of time.
At the start of each round, you roll a 20-sided letter die which decides the letter that every answer must begin with. Then you set the sand timer and get going! When the time is up, players compare their answers with one another. If the same answer appears on more than one list, it gets crossed off, but a player receives one point for each unique word. The winner is the player who has the most points after three rounds. (Or more, if you're having too much fun.)

Ultimate Catch Phrase
In this fast-paced game, players try to get their teammates to say the word on an electronic disc without actually saying that word or any variations of it. The disc has some 10,000 words stored in it. Playing the "everything" category will pull one of those words at random, or you can select one of the six different categories for a smaller pool of words with a central theme.
Get your teammates to say a word and then quickly pass the disc to the opposite team. This process continues, passing the disc from team to team, until the round ends. A timer embedded in the disc gradually beeps faster and faster until it abruptly sounds a loud buzz, signaling the end of a round. Move fast! You don't want the disc to buzz in your hands.

Taboo
Taboo is the game of forbidden words. In Taboo, your goal is to get your teammate to say the word written on one of the game cards without saying that word or any of the "taboo" words also listed with it. Try and get through as many cards as possible in the given time.
Your team will get one point for each card correctly guessed, but you will lose one point every time you say one of the taboo words. A one-minute hourglass and a buzzer button will be in the possession of the opposing team during your round. Your opponents, no doubt, will delight in shouting "time's up!" the second the last grain of sand falls through the dial and pressing the buzzer any time you slip up and utter one of the taboo words.

Speak Out
This game is a riot to play at parties. In Speak Out, players read a phrase from one of the game cards while wearing a special mouthpiece that makes it hard to enunciate.
Have your group form teams and take turns trying to guess the phrase on a game card. You can read the phrase as many times as you want or try to provide clues, but it will only help if your teammates can understand what you're saying. Try to get through as many cards as possible in the given time. Each game comes with 10 dishwasher-safe mouthpieces.
A friendly suggestion: Keep some napkins or paper towels handy to wipe up your drool.

Password
This game, which is perfect for four players, is based on the popular '60s game show of the same name. In Password, one player on each team knows the secret word and gives a one-word clue to his or her teammate. If the first team doesn't get the answer after one clue, then the second team is allowed to give a clue and try to solve the password. This continues until the secret word is finally guessed or until 10 clues have been given, whichever comes first. Every password starts with a point value of 10 but decreases by one point with each clue given. Play 10 secret words for a total of five rounds, and in the end, the team with the highest score wins. Think you can guess the password?

Mad Gab
Have you ever repeated a word over and over again until it sounds like it's not even a word? The goofy game of Mad Gab is like the reverse of that. If you repeat a strange series of words enough times, they actually sound like a common word or phrase.
The game contains cards with 800 words and phrases on them in "Mad Gab" language that will have you scratching your head as you try and figure out just what the heck a card is trying to say. Teams are given two minutes to sound out three cards, and if they can't solve one of the puzzles, a designated "stealer" on the opposing team may steal that point. Enjoy playing this game where everyone sounds silly.

Sequence
The premise of this chip and card game is simple: Play a card from your hand and place a chip on the corresponding square. But there's some strategy involved, too. In sequence, each card from two 52-card decks is represented on the game board. Players take turns playing a card from their hands and then placing a chip on one of the spaces that match that card. Get five of your team's chips in a row, whether horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, and you have a sequence.
The first team to create two sequences wins. Pay close attention to the moves of the opposing team. If you see an opportunity to place a chip and block them from getting a sequence, you might want to take it. Sequence is like a grown-up version of Connect Four.

Family Board Games
Uno
All you need to play this fun family game is the Uno card deck. There are no other marbles, spinners, or game pieces required, which makes this quick to clean up and great to take on the go.
An Uno deck contains 108 cards—25 cards each in one of four colors, plus eight special action cards (like Skip and Reverse). Players take turns matching a card from their hand by number or color to the card in the middle of the game. Players replenish their hands by pulling from the "draw" deck until there are no cards remaining. When a player has just one card left they get to call out "Uno!" as a warning to the other players, which, in our opinion, is one of the best parts of the game. That, and the obligatory victory dance after you win.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to 10 | Recommended Age: 7 and up | Playing Time: 30 minutes or less
Cranium
We love this game because it gets the whole family humming, sketching, solving, and thinking. To win a game of Cranium, you and your team must go all the way around the board and complete the designated activities. Each color along the game path indicates which of the four card categories you have to pull from to proceed. If you successfully complete the challenge presented on the card you get to roll a die and continue that number of spaces. If you don't complete the challenge, you're stuck until your next turn when you have to try that category again. As an added bonus for time-crunched families, the game board offers three different rates of play.

Boggle
It's a race to find as many unique word combinations as possible in this fun game. Boggle consists of 16 six-sided letter dice in a 16-square tray. First you have to scramble the letters, which means putting the cover on the tray and giving it a good shake. Once the dice have been scrambled you're ready to play.
Start the sand timer and write down all the possible words you can find. Words can be made from letters that are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal to one another, but they must be at least three letters long. Once time is up, compare your lists of words with the other players. Any words that appear on more than one list are crossed out. Score points for any words that aren't duplicated by another player. Play as many rounds as you'd like and tally up total points at the end to determine the winner.

Chutes and Ladders
It's a race to the finish in this classic childhood game where good deeds take you far, and naughty behaviors will set you back. The Chutes and Ladders game board contains 100 squares and depicts a series of ladders and slides. Each ladder represents a good deed and its reward, but every slide represents the consequences of bad behavior.
Each player starts in the first square, and a spinner dictates how many spaces a player can advance from there. If you're lucky, you'll land at the base of a good-deed ladder, which you can climb, advancing extra spaces. But if you're not so lucky, you'll land at the top of a slide and have to go down, which will set you back quite a bit. The first player to the 100 square wins.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to three | Recommended Age: 3 and up | Playing Time: 15 minutes or more
Trouble
In Trouble, the goal is to be the first player to get all four of your pieces around the board and back home again. The premise is simple, but there are challenges along the way. Game play is controlled by a die, but it's not just rolled by hand—to roll the die in Trouble, you get to press the plastic dome on the game's cool pop-o-matic dice roller. For a piece to leave home base, you first have to roll a six. After that, pieces can advance normally based on the die roll.
With 28 spots on the game board, it can start to get crowded when all 16 pieces are in play, and that's where the trouble can begin. If another player lands on a spot occupied by one of your pieces, your piece is sent back to home base and has to start the process again.
Product Details: Number of Players: Two to four | Recommended Age: 5 and up | Playing Time: 30 to 60 minutes
Sorry!
Move your four pawns around the board and safely navigate them home again in the game of Sorry. All pawns begin in their respective start spaces, and players take turns drawing from a deck of 44 cards to see what the pawn's next move might be.
Sorry is a competition, and there are two ways to set back your opponents. Similar to the game Trouble, if you land on a space that is already occupied by another player's pawn, that pawn is sent back to the start. The second way to create a setback is by drawing one of the deck's four "Sorry" cards. If this happens, you can select any one of your opponents' pawns to return to start, except a pawn in a safety zone. Win by being the first to get all four of your pawns home. Psst! A scoring system exists if you wish to play multiple rounds of this game.

Dominoes
Dominoes is great fun for players of all ages, so grab Grandma and a set of dominoes and start playing! While there are a variety of games you can play with dominoes, one of our favorites is Mexican Train.
In this game, the largest double number tile is placed in the "station" in the middle of the table. From here, each player is responsible for his or her own domino "train," where the end of each domino played must match the end of the domino preceding it. Extra tiles are placed in the "boneyard" and replenish each player's stash until they are all gone. The first player to complete his or her train wins.

Board Games for Kids
Connect 4
What kid doesn't love a quick game of Connect 4? All you need to do is take turns with another player dropping tokens into the open slots on the game. To win, connect four of your colored tokens as quickly as possible, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You'll want to be sure to keep an eye on the other player, too. If they have three in a row, you just might need to use your next turn to drop a strategically placed token to prevent them from connecting four of their own.
You'd think that with 42 slots for tokens, it would be easy to connect four but, with a worthy adversary, there's a chance it will come to a draw. No matter the outcome, we bet you can't just play one round!

Twister
Twister will, as the box promises, have you twisted up in knots and probably doubled over laughing, too. To play, place the game's large vinyl mat on the floor. The mat has four rows of different colored dots and a cardboard spinner broken up into quadrants that dictates what body part goes on what color dot.
You might find yourself in a downward dog or with someone's rump in your face, but try to hold your position no matter how strange it might seem. You will definitely be eliminated if you fall, but you also risk elimination if someone catches you resting a knee or elbow on the mat. See who can hold out the longest and become the Twister champion.

Operation
The poor patient in Operation sure has a lot of ailments: writer's cramp, water on the knee, and brain freeze are just the start. In this game, you get to be the doctor, and it's your job to relieve the patient by removing all 13 of his ailments. The retrieval process can be tricky though.
You have to use a pair of tweezers to remove the small plastic ailment, and if you miss and hit the sides of the patient, the game buzzes, and another player, "the specialist," gets to try. If you can successfully remove the item indicated by the game cards, you'll get paid for your good work. After all of the operations have been completed, the doctor with the most money wins.

Don’t Break the Ice
A good game for younger children, Don't Break the Ice is simple and straightforward. A plastic "ice tray" holds small plastic ice cubes in place. One larger ice cube, which can be placed anywhere within the tray, is where the game's little plastic penguin stands. You don't want to be the player who causes the penguin to fall.
Players take turns tapping out ice cubes with one of the small plastic mallets provided. A player has to keep tapping the same ice cube until it becomes dislodged and falls from the ice tray, even if additional ice cubes also become dislodged in the process. The more ice cubes that fall, the more precarious things become for the little penguin. Play continues until the penguin eventually falls through the ice.

Hungry Hungry Hippos
Hungry Hungry Hippos is a fast-paced, marble-chomping game suitable for young players. Four colorful (and hungry) hippos on the game board are trying to chow down on 20 marbles that are launched into the middle of the board. Players rapidly press a lever, which controls the hippo, in an effort to gobble up the most marbles. Pressing the lever causes the hippo's neck to stick out toward the marbles and the jaw to open. When the lever is released, the hippo's jaw closes—hopefully on a marble or two!—and the neck retracts, pulling the marbles into that player's possession.
After all of the marbles have been consumed, count how many your hippo caught. The player whose hippo chomped down on the most marbles wins.

Mouse Trap
Hurry, scurry, little mouse! Try not to get trapped as you circle the board and collect cheese tokens. At the onset of this game, players work together to build a Rube Goldberg-like mouse trap, but once the trap has been assembled, it's every mouse for themselves.
Roll the die to advance spaces, but be sure to keep an eye on the other sneaky mice as you move around the board. If you're on the cheese wheel and another mouse is at one of the mousetrap cranks, they will turn the crank in an attempt to trap you. Some mice might evade the trap, but in the end, all but one will have been captured. The last mouse still in play wins.

Jenga
We love Jenga for its ease of play. The rules are simple and straightforward, and whether you're playing solo or with a whole group of folks, this game is always full of suspenseful fun.
Setup is quick. Build a tower from the 54 small wooden blocks provided—three blocks wide by 18 blocks high. Players then take turns removing one block from within the tower and placing it back on the top. Cross your fingers and hold your breath as the tower grows taller and more unstable with every move. See how many rounds you can go before the tower comes crashing down. The last person to successfully place a block before the tower tumbles is considered the winner.

Mastermind
If you or your kiddos like cracking codes, then you'll love the game of Mastermind. In each round of this two-person game, one player gets to create the code, and the other player tries to crack it.
Using any combination of the six colors provided, the codemaster secretly creates a code that is comprised of just four pegs. The second player then begins a guess-and-check process to figure out the code by placing a series of any four pegs onto the board. After the first guess, the codemaster provides feedback for any pegs that are accurately placed or any pegs that are the right color but in the wrong spot. The second player then guesses again by placing a second row of pegs, and the process continues until either the code is cracked or the second player runs out of guesses.

Qwirkle
Qwirkle is a game of colors and patterns. The game contains 108 wooden tiles with different colored shapes on them. Players start with six tiles drawn at random from a bag. Use your tiles to create lines on the playing area that have the same color or pattern, and earn a point for each tile you play. Lines can be built vertically or horizontally or played through an existing line (kind of like Scrabble). A line of six tiles is called a Qwirkle, and it's the longest line you can play.
The game ends with the first player to use all of his or her tiles, but ultimately it's the player with the highest score who wins. Ready to get your Qwirkle on?

Rush Hour
There's gridlock during rush hour, and it's up to you to help. In this single-player game, try to free the red escape car by maneuvering the cars and trucks out of the way. This will likely take lots of little moves, as the blocking vehicles can only move forward or backward in the direction they are facing.
Rush Hour comes with 40 different challenges, with varying levels of difficulty. Depending on the puzzle, up to 15 cars and trucks can be in the way, but, slowly and carefully, you can shift them to free the red car.

What to Know About Board Games Before Shopping
Number of Players
Before buying a board game, consider how many people will be playing it regularly. Most games are designed to be played by two to four people. If the main players will be you and your partner, look for a game that can be played with just two people. Looking for the best board game for families? Select one that can accommodate four (or even more). If you host parties often, some games on this list are designed for up to 20 players or organize players into teams.
Recommended Age
Board games come with a recommended age based on safety (small parts can be a choking hazard), reading ability (games for toddlers and young children are usually visually based with no reading required), and knowledge (higher-level strategy and trivia games often require more advanced skills that make them better suited for adults). To choose a board game for a child or group setting, make sure the recommended age is appropriate for the youngest player.
Playing Time
Board games have run times that can range from a few minutes to a few hours. When selecting a game, consider whether you’d like to play a few different games—or several rounds of the same game—in one sitting or dive into an hours-long strategy game. Consider who will be playing the game as well—younger children tend to have shorter attention spans than teens and adults.

Obtaining a veterans exemption is not automatic – If you're an eligible veteran, you must submit the initial exemption application form to your assessor. The deadline in most communities is March 1—please confirm the date with your assessor.
You must attach to your application either:
Proof that you were discharged or released from service under honorable conditions (usually Form DD-214; see the complete listing of Acceptable military records for veterans property tax exemptions) or
A letter you received from the New York State Department of Veterans' Services (DVS) stating that you now meet the character of discharge criteria for all of the benefits and services listed in the Restoration of Honor Act.
You must also provide proof of the times and places served in active duty, if not already included on the documentation described above.
See Publication 1093, Veterans Exemption Questions & Answers – Partial Exemption from Property Taxes in New York State for more information.
Whichever exemption you choose, it will apply only to county, city, town, and village taxes; it does not apply to special district taxes. School districts also have the option to offer the alternative veterans and cold war veterans exemption.
You can only receive one of the three exemptions listed below.
Alternative veterans exemption
Available only on residential property of a veteran who has served during a designated time of war, or who has received an expeditionary medal.
Currently available in over 95 percent of the county, city, town, and village taxing jurisdictions across the state. The remainder of these jurisdictions may choose to offer this exemption in the future. School districts also have the option to offer this exemption.
Check with your assessor or clerk to see whether the alternative veterans exemption is offered.
Authorized by Real Property Tax Law, section 458-a.
Cold War veterans exemption
Available only on residential property of a veteran who served during the Cold War period.
Counties, cities, towns, villages, and school districts have the option to offer this exemption to qualified veterans.
Check with your assessor or clerk to see whether the Cold War veterans exemption is offered.
Authorized by Real Property Tax Law, section 458-b.
Eligible funds exemption
Provides a partial exemption.
Applies to property that a veteran or certain other designated person purchases. Such owners must purchase the property with pension, bonus or insurance monies. | ||||||

] | 2023-07-12T15:48:24+00:00 | Not a Bomberman in name, but in practice? This parody game is Bomberman's shoot 'em up even more than it's Star Soldier's. | en | https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1ccfbc50-2f04-4402-9696-acd5d95d7f5f%2Ffavicon.ico | https://retroxp.substack.com/p/40-years-of-bomberman-star-parodier | July marks 40 years of Hudson Soft’s (and Konami’s) Bomberman franchise. Throughout the month, I’ll be covering Bomberman games, the versatility of its protagonist, and the legacy of both. Previous entries in the series can be found through this link.
Star Parodier is a Star Soldier parody game in name, much like Parodius is a Gradius parody. Part of the fun of the Parodius games — which also seeped into their design — is that they don’t just limit themselves to Gradius. TwinBee, another Konami shoot ‘em up series, is as vital to the Parodius equation as its namesake franchise. Similarly, Star Parodier wouldn’t work as well if it was just “Hudson Soft’s Star Soldier, but cute,” so instead, it’s paired up with Bomberman. To the point that this is arguably more Bomberman than Star Soldier, or, at least, Bomberman by way of Star Soldier.
Consider that the story revolves around a spaceship full of Bombermen of various colors reacting to distressing news about the planet Paroson. They are the ones who build the three fighter craft to handle the crisis, which launch from their ship. One is the Paro Caesar — pretty easy to see that’s “a parody version of the Caesar” there, if you’re the kind of sicko person of culture who knows offhand that “Caesar” is the name of the Star Soldier craft, anyway. A second one is a giant Bomberman with rocket propulsion and various weapon capabilities that the standard Bomberman models do not possess — it’s also alive, like the other Bombermen, as evidenced by the cartoonish, eyes-bulging-and-surprised way it reacts to being blown up. And the third, in an extreme moment of meta game design, is an anthropomorphic PC Engine that shoots CD-ROMs and HuCards at enemies.
The game has the cartoonish charm (and often look) of PC Engine-era Bomberman, it stars a cast of Bomberman who build a flying Bomberman fighter ship, you eventually fight an even bigger Bomberman who tries to destroy your ship in a Bomberman-style arena using bombs that explode in a cross pattern whilst picking up power-ups from Bomberman to enhance its attacks… like I said, Star Parodier is at least as much a Bomberman game as it is a Star Soldier one, and since we already know Bomberman could be anything Hudson Soft needed it to be, well. I rest my case.
Star Parodier is a vertical shoot ‘em up (shooting game, STG, shmup, whatever you want to call it) that lasts for eight stages (and one hidden bonus one). It’s a pretty easy game for the genre — it’s much more difficult at the end in ways that test both your reflexes and your ability to quickly recognize patterns, but overall, this isn’t a tough STG. If you’re a veteran of the genre, you can probably safely play on the harder setting from the jump and be fine — the hand that swoops down to steal various power-ups before you can grab them appears here more often and earlier, in addition to facing off against more ships, bullets, etc. Star Parodier also comes with a Caravan mode, as Star Soldier games tended to, which lets you play for the highest score you can in either a two or five-minute burst designed specifically for scoring. A big difference against the Star Soldier games is that you can choose which ship you want to play the Caravan mode with, and since they have different loadouts and power-ups that means different strategies to figure out.
If you’re not a fan of the Star Soldier-style shoot ‘em ups — lots of weapon upgrades and various weaponry, longer stages, more enemies to dodge and weave around than bullets — then Star Parodier probably won’t be for you, since it’s still that kind of game, just a parody of it. The harder sci-fi edges have been sanded down into something very cute — there are still some giant mechs and robots to defeat, but they’re all rounded yet blockier, less angular and sharp. And the various non-ship enemies you defeat wave white flags when you shoot them instead of exploding or dying. While I myself am a Star Soldier (and Star Parodier) fan, I at least understand why people would rather play the Compile games made by Compile instead of the ones someone else made after being impressed by what Compile was up to in Blazing Lazers.
Support Retro XP on Ko-fi
And while there’s nothing seriously wrong with Star Parodier — it’s not challenging enough in the first half, but also not a complete cakewalk, it’s also sometimes derivative, but has enough personality and Bomberman to make up for that for the most part — its most significant issue is that it’s on a system that was loaded with STGs. Star Parodier is a pretty good shooter that was easily lost among the other ones. The Turbografx/PC Engine family of systems included classics like Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder, the three mainline Star Soldier games, Magical Chase, Air Zonk, Seirei Senshi Spriggan, Blazing Lazers, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, Cho Aniki, impressive ports of arcade hits like R-Type, Fantasy Zone, Gradius, Gradius II, Salamander… I’m not forgetting any games here, but if I keep typing out quality shoot ‘em ups from Hudson and NEC’s consoles — Download, Coryoon, Parodius Da!, Nexzr — we’ll never move on from this point.
We’re out of the moment where you had to pick and choose, though, as it’s been over 30 years since Star Parodier released. And hell, the other reason Star Parodier has been comparatively but understandably overlooked against other shooters in that extensive library is because it was exclusive to Japan — Star Parodier is damn enjoyable, despite some clear faults, but most people didn’t have a chance to discover that. There was a planned release for North America — it even had a name, Fantasy Star Soldier, and a logo — but it didn’t end up happening in the end, likely because the Turbografx, 16 or CD, never quite took off outside Japan like it did inside of it as the PC Engine/PC Engine CD-ROM. Not all of the main series Star Soldier games made it out of Japan either despite their popularity, if that tells you anything.
The PC Engine Software Bible made a note of not just that planned North American title, but also why the original was named the way it was, and why it would have received such a change overseas:
In Japanese, Super Star Soldier is spelt more phonetically, i.e. Supaa Sutaa Soruja. So as a parody, Paroja is a contraction of Soruja (Soldier) and Parodi (parody). The title is written as Star Parodier - an accurate representation of the intention, and as this seems to be the common spelling among PC Engine fans. All this confusion and word-play is probably why many import companies just settled on the less complicated Star Parody. Was due for release in the USA as Fantasy Star Soldier.
Star Parodier would receive a second Japanese-exclusive release on the Playstation Portable’s PC Engine Best Collection: Star Soldier, but eventually did release outside of Japan and into North America. It took until the Wii Virtual Console began to include not just Turbografx-16 and CD titles, but also imports, for that to happen. It had a second, more limited release, this time on the Turbografx-16 Mini, which also includes the available PC Engine titles even outside of Japan where it was sold as the PC Engine Mini.
I mentioned before that Star Parodier was in the Compile style, but not developed by Compile. That’s because Compile was responsible for developing the classic shoot ‘em up Gunhed (Blazing Lazers outside of Japan) for the PC Engine, which Hudson Soft published and was so enamored by that they changed the direction of their Star Soldier games, which had been on the NES, by the time they arrived on their own home system. Super Star Soldier, Soldier Blade, and Final Soldier all took cues from Compile’s efforts on Blazing Lazers, and so, of course, the parody game based on those games did, too.
The developers of Super Star Soldier (1990) and Final Soldier (1991) were Kaneko and Inter State — Inter State was a studio within Kaneko — and they also worked on Star Parodier (1992). Soldier Blade is actually the “final” Star Soldier game on the platform, but that was developed by Hudson Soft on an accelerated timeline alongside development of Star Parodier, to release just a couple of months after it in ‘92. Besides the gameplay, what these titles have in common is an emphasis on impressive sprites and graphics that showed off what the system could do: this was pretty standard practice for Hudson Soft’s first-party efforts on their system. Star Parodier was developed by a third-party, sure, but one that Hudson had worked with extensively that they trusted to handle this core series, and they would work closely with their partners, too, just as they expected their partners to work closely with them when they were the ones doing the developing for other systems and publishers.
The most impressive takeaways visually are the moments where sprite scaling are employed, whether to have an enemy sprite be zoomed in on then fly off, to have your own ship rise up and fly away, or because a Bomberman boss has to get really, really big. It also hits you, when you recognize what a level is an homage to, just how good Star Parodier’s version of things look. The difference, visually, in something like Scene (stage) 7, which seems to be based off of Blazing Lazer’s giant bubble-focused stage, and the source material, is wild: it’s more cartoony, sure, but it’s brighter, more vibrant, more alive, and, pun intended, bursting with character. Each stage is also wildly different from the last one, with little in the way of reused backgrounds and sprites: the first stage is probably the most boring one visually, since it’s just “space” like in Star Soldier titles, but even that manages to throw in domed space station colonies, bright coloring outside of the starry background, and an amusement park/circus vibe by the end. Being on the CD-ROM add-on instead of the standard PC Engine HuCard format, with all of the extra storage that entails, is part of the difference here, since more assets could be stored and used. But it also helps that Kaneko/Inter State/Hudson decided to make sure that space was utilized to create an impressive game on the visual side.
The only element of the game that is lacking is the soundtrack: it’s fitting in-game, and it’s a good listen, too, but it’s very much the kind of soundtrack that only works within its setting. The music is a bit forgettable: it does its job in the moment, but for someone as invested in video game music as I am, I honestly can’t get a single beat of a track to play in my head now as I sit here thinking on it. All things considered, that’s not a deal breaker by any means, since again, it does its job in-game. You just probably won’t find yourself hoping for a vinyl release of the original soundtrack or anything like that.
At least the audio is high quality, owing to the CD-ROM format once again, and there are voice samples that not only sound clear, but are also helpful: there’s no on-screen indicator in English for your ship’s movement speed, for instance, but a voice yells “Speed up!” or “Speed down!” when you press the button, depending on where in the cycle you are, and the various weapon types get a shout, too. Which is useful, since each ship has its own power-ups to collect for their exclusive weaponry, like the Bomberman ship and its ability to fire a wave of bombs.
Star Parodier can be derivative, for sure, as it pulls more than just a little bit from other non-Star Soldier shooters, and it’s not as inspired in its wackiness as Parodius — what is? But if you’re into the Star Soldier games in general — especially the PC Engine-era ones — and want to play a goofier version of them where you get to be a giant Bomberman ship flying through the sky blowing up cartoon enemies with bombs and balloons, or even just an anthropomorphic video game console that fires CD-ROMs and HuCards, well, there’s a place where you can do all of those things. Now if only it could get a wider release in the present, so people could actually get the chance to do said things without it being illegal. | |||||

More than 16,000 have died of other causes in that time. Gold Star families have borne the losses, and Defense Department officials want Americans – especially those serving in the department – to understand what the Gold Star lapel pin and Next of Kin lapel pins mean.
The pins were created ''to recognize the sacrifices of so many,'' said Deborah Skillman, the program director at the Military Community and Family Policy Office in the Pentagon. Skillman's office has created and posted an ''eTutorial'' on Military OneSource to educate people about the program.
Service members know what the Gold Star represents, and, unfortunately, in a time of conflict, many service members have lost friends. Still, the force has a large turnover of personnel, Skillman noted, and there may be some who do not understand the Gold Star program and what it represents. The eTutorial is for them, she said.
The education effort is in response to input from family members who, because of a general lack of knowledge, sometimes get ''unintentionally insensitive questions about the Gold Star lapel button and Next of Kin lapel button,'' Skillman said.
The Gold Star symbol began during World War I. At the start of the American involvement in 1917, families hung banners with blue stars representing family members in the services. If the service member died in combat, the family changed the blue star to gold.
After the war, Gold Star mothers banded together. The group incorporated in 1928. This year’s Gold Star Mothers Day is Sept. 27.
There are still Gold Star families from World War I, and many thousands from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. | ||||

Star Solder is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Hudson Soft for the Famicom and MSX home computer in 1986. It was the fourteenth best selling Famicom game released in 1986, selling approximately one million copies in its lifetime. While it is the first in a series of games to bear the Star Soldier title, it is considered the second in what's known as the Caravan shooting collection, the first being Star Force. Back when Hudson Soft was a big name in the video game industry of Japan, they ran a nationwide video game tournament known as the "Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival" where players competed against one another in the popular shooting genre.
Star Soldier itself doesn't offer a tremendous amount of innovation, and not every concept that was introduced works flawlessly. For example, Star Soldier allows the players to duck under the terrain (by means that the player has relatively little control over) which makes the player invincible, but it also prevents the player from attacking and it can occur at the worst possible times, so its effectiveness is debatable. However, Star Soldier does feature a rather intriguing power-up system that ultimately allows for the player's ship to fire rapidly in five different directions at one time.
Star Soldier also contains a number of hidden items like bonus point tiles and power up tiles, some of which will only appear when certain conditions are properly met. The stage bosses would flee and send you backwards through the stage if you did not destroy them quickly enough the first time that you encountered them. The game was quite popular in Japan, but less so in the rest of the world. While sequels to the Star Soldier series were made, they have little to do with one another other than being vertically scrolling shooters with amazing power ups.
Star Soldier was first remade in 1995, along with two other NES shooters with very little upgraded, for the SNES in the Japan-only release of the Caravan Shooting Collection. In 2003, a 3D remake of the game was released for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube, but it was not entirely faithful to the original game. An upgraded version of this remake was released for the PSP in 2005. In 2004, Star Soldier was included as one of the 30 NES games to be released for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Famicom Mini series. It was also included in Hudson's own compilation of Famicom shooters in 2006 in Hudson Best Collection Vol. 5. In April 2019, it was added to the NES Nintendo Switch Online application for all regions.

Star Parodier is to the Star Soldier series as Parodius is to the Gradius series. Essentially these are fun, lighthearted parodies of their respective Shoot Em Up game series. Don’t let the cute aesthetic fool you though as this still some real Shooter action coming at you! Easily one of my personal favorite games for the console and a Must Buy for every PC Engine fan. I mean c’mon, you can choose to pilot an actual original PC Engine console, Bomberman, or a Star Soldier ship – each with it’s own matching unique Power Ups, how cool is that?! So much fun – fast, frantic game-play, wonderfully cartoony graphics, huge sprites and bosses, parallax, CD audio, awesome intro, just a flat out excellent game through and through. Not to be missed.
Side note: this was actually in the works to be released in the US under the name Fantasy Star Soldier but sadly, like most of the best games, it was not to be.

Vinesh Phogat Disqualification: Vinesh Phogat, an Indian wrestler, might be disqualified from the Paris Olympics due to failing the weight check for the 50 kg category by 100 grams. Despite efforts to reduce weight overnight, she couldn't make the required limit. Consequently, Phogat, who made it to the final, will be disqualified, awarding the gold medal to Sarah Hildebrandt.
In a surprising development, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics for not meeting the weight requirement for her 50 kg gold medal match. Reports indicate Phogat was 100 grams over the allowed weight limit, leading to her disqualification. Consequently, she will not be eligible for a silver medal, leaving only the gold and bronze medals available in the 50 kg category.
"It is with regret that the Indian contingent shares the news of Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Women’s Wrestling 50 kg class. Despite the team's efforts through the night, she was a few grams over 50 kg this morning. No further comments will be made by the contingent at this time. The Indian team requests respect for Vinesh’s privacy and will focus on the ongoing competitions," stated the Indian Olympic Association.

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the Paris Olympics for failing to meet the weight requirement for her 50 kg gold medal match. Reports indicate that Phogat was 100 grams over the allowed weight limit, leading to her disqualification.

The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,389 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. On the Walls of the Missing, in a semicircular garden on the east side of the memorial, are inscribed 1,557 names. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.
The memorial consists of a semicircular colonnade with a loggia at each end containing large maps and narratives of the military operations; at the center is the bronze statue, “Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves.” An orientation table overlooking the beach depicts the landings in Normandy. Facing west at the memorial, one sees in the foreground the reflecting pool; beyond is the burial area with a circular chapel and, at the far end, granite statues representing the United States and France.
In 2007, the Normandy Visitor Center opened. The $30 million visitor center was dedicated by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) on June 6, 2007 during the commemoration of the 63rd Anniversary of D-Day. The center is sited in a wooded area of the cemetery approximately 100 meters east of the Garden of the Missing.
Learn more about the architecture, exhibits, inscriptions, and the project team.
Normandy is ABMC's most visited cemetery, receiving more than one million visitors each year. To plan a site visit, a visit to a relative's grave, request a group visit, special tour, or wreath laying ceremony, please contact NormandyVisits@abmc.gov.
Due to security concerns, the pathway from Normandy American Cemetery to the beach was closed to the public in 2016. However, public beach access is available nearby.
The flag lowering ceremony is held one hour before the cemetery closes to the public.

Star Soldier R isn't a traditional entry in the series. Rather, it's a smallish game based around racking up high scores in small periods of time. In the two-minute mode, you'll play through one brief stage and try to shoot down as many enemies and collect as many items as you can for a big score. The five-minute mode is similar, but features two levels with two boss encounters at the end of each.
In the screenshot above, you can see that the levels are dotted with things that you can blow up. The glowy yellow ones release chips that add to your score, and the glowy other-colored ones release weapon upgrades. Keep adding weapons to your ship and you'll soon be shooting more bullets and in more directions -- crucial for racking up bigger combos.
When you begin the game, you'll first select the area of Japan in which you live. This way, you can upload your scores to Wi-Fi Connection and see how you rank in the leaderboards among others in Japan, across the whole world, or just in your area. (I don't mean to brag, but I am currently the 12th best Star Soldier R player in all of Hokkaido.)
You can play using the nunchuk or Classic controller, but why bother when you can just turn the Wiimote on its side instead?
The graphics are really pretty, the 80's-style soundtrack is rocking, and the action feels awesome. But at 800 points or $8, I don't know if Star Soldier R is worth it for anyone who isn't a hardcore competitive shooter player. It's the sort of thing you'd play at a competition, not the kind of thing you'd spend money for at home. I can see it getting very old very fast for casual players, as there are only the two stages.
Well, there's one more mode.
"Fast Shot" mode times your button presses. For 13 seconds, you wail on the A button for as long as you possibly can, and the game tells you how many hits per second you managed. I put my best Mario Party index finger tapping skills to the test and got an 8.9, and nearly hurt myself.
Hudson's Takahashi-Meijin? Well, he can do 16.

Developer: Hudson Soft
Platform: Wii (WiiWare)
Price: 800 Wii Points (Wii Points unavailable for purchase at the time of this writing)
With the Wii Shop set to completely shutdown in early 2019 and users being locked out of the ability to add more points to their accounts, this review couldn’t have come at a more pointless time. But if, like me, you have a few hundred extra points burning a hole in your digital pocket then this review might just help you decide which ‘Buy’ button to point your Wii Remote at. Especially if you’re looking for experiences that as of this writing are exclusive to WiiWare.
I don’t profess to being an expert of the shoot ‘em up genre but it has always been a part of my palate – an R-Type machine was right across the street from one of my usual summertime haunts and Space Megaforce was a staple of sleepover game rotations. But it wasn’t until the Virtual Console began releasing shooter after shooter after shooter than I understood the breadth and variety of the genre. The Star Soldier series, primarily released for the Turbografx-16, was particularly beyond my purview. Luckily my desire to grab just about anything from the WiiWare service that seemed remotely interesting led me to Star Soldier R and subsequently to the rest of the Star Soldier series.
Even within the Star Soldier canon R is an atypical game – gameplay revolves primarily around a short main game designed to be played many times for a high score. The game is even split up into “2-Minute” and “5-Minute” campaigns. And yes, they are quite literally 2-minutes and 5-minutes long; regardless of where you are in the game’s two stages, when the timer runs out it’s game over. This length lends itself incredibly well to return sessions every few months or even years. Players are meant to spend the first few plays memorizing and then the next thousand plays optimizing. For people who find other “full length” shooters to be too intimidating or too much of a time commitment, Star Soldier R offers a bite-sized experience that begs to be replayed over and over.
For a game this slight of content, the amount of time devoted to story is kind of amazing. Waiting on the title screen long enough will trigger a series of still images and text that explain Star Soldier R’s place in the greater Star Soldier timeline and give context this ship’s particular mission. This is so wholly unnecessary that I can’t help by find it outrageously charming. The earnestness with which Star Soldier R presents its story perfectly captures the feeling of an arcade cabinet attract mode. Each stage is also bookended by short cutscenes showing the player’s ship taking off or moving on to its next destination.
Mechanically Star Soldier R is pretty basic; there are two kinds of power-ups that operate linearly and simultaneously. Blue capsules create satellites around your ship that can be sent of to automatically target enemy spacecraft, while pink capsules enhance your main ship’s shot. There are no branching weapon types or alternate types of fire (beyond the aforementioned satellites). Taking a hit will knock the player down a weapon-level and destroy the player’s ship if at the base weapon-level. This combined with the fact that there are no lives and infinite continues means that anyone can get through a round of Star Soldier R provided the death count hasn’t led to too much lost time, particularly when fighting one of the bosses.
Star Soldier R is a difficult game to recommend logistically speaking – I can recommend it all I want but the chance that anyone is in a position to purchase it is incredibly slim. If you happen to be one of the five people left on the planet with 800 Wii Points to spare and a desire to pick up a short score-attack space shooter exclusive to WiiWare, then by all means, Star Soldier R is the way to go. There are dozens of other games that will give you more content for 800 points on the service but Star Soldier R is fun little revival of a series that is unlikely to resurface anytime soon. Give it a shot if you have to ability to do so. | ||||

The player pilots the starship "Caesar", travelling through space stations occupied by powerful supercomputers known as "Starbrains" who threaten the galactic empire. Star Soldier greatly resembles the earlier arcade game Star Force.
Mobile versions were released on January 26, 2001, in Japan as Star Soldier Special+ in 2004, Star Soldier SP Arcade in 2005 and Star Soldier Fukkoku-Ban (スターソルジャー 復刻版 Sutāsorujā fukkoku-ban) in 2008, they were also released for Palm OS on November 2001 in Japan and iOS on January 4, 2012 in United States.
Star Soldier has spawned numerous sequels, starting with Super Star Soldier on the PC Engine. It was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2004 in Japan as part of the Famicom Mini series, and to the Wii's Virtual Console in the Japanese and North American regions in July 2007. An enhanced remake of the game was released on PlayStation Portable only in Japan in 2005.
The game was re-released by Konami on 3DS Virtual Console on November 14, 2012 in Japan, August 15, 2013 in PAL Version and September 24, 2013 in North America, and the iOS Version, titled Star Soldier for GREE (スターソルジャー for GREE Sutāsorujā for GREE) on June 20, 2013 in Japan. A NES version was released for Nintendo Switch Online on April 10, 2019 in Japan and North America.
Story[]
A strange and evil presence is lurking in space. Crushing Everything in its path, destroying spaceships full of innocent people, the fearsome Starbrain is threatening the entire Galactic Empire. Starbrain, a giant computer programmed only for destruction, inhabits an enormous space station, guarded by enemy ships and robot creatures. To penetrate the station is a job for the most skillful and experienced Star Soldier: you! You'll be piloting Caesar, the fastest fighter ship in the Galactic Fleet, with an awesome arsenal of weapons at your fingertips. Only you can end the brutal Starbrain's spree of destruction, and restore peace to the galaxy!
Gameplay[]
Star Soldier's game play is very similar to its predecessor Star Force, with the player having to to fend off flying enemies and hit ground targets for extra points. Players control the Caesar, which can be upgraded to fire in five directions simultaneously.
Stages have features known as "Trap Zones", where the player can dive in the background and become protected against enemy bullets and collisions but be unable to shoot as well. The game consists of 16 stages, with a boss at the end of each. If the player fails to defeat the boss in time, it will be taken back to the midway checkpoint in the stage and be forced to play the second half of the stage again.

] | 2024-08-07T11:24:06-04:00 | A purported leak claims to reveal what Marvel originally planned with their now-canceled Kang-focused Marvel movie. | en | https://townsquare.media/site/622/files/2013/06/favicon-11.ico | ComicsAlliance | https://screencrush.com/avengers-kang-dynasty-plot/ | A recent (and, to be clear, currently unverified) report claims to reveal Marvel’s original plan forAvengers 5, back when that movie was going to be titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and focused on Jonathan Majors’ Kang and his attempts to conquer the multiverse. None of that is happening now; Marvel fired Majors last year and recently announced the next Avengers will instead be called Avengers: Doomsday and star Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom.
But if Majors’ hadn’t been fired and Marvel had moved ahead with their original plan for The Kang Dynasty, what would that Avengers 5 have looked like? That’s the subject of our latest Marvel Cinematic Universe video, in which we discuss this purported plot leak, and discuss whether it seems like a viable plan given the events of movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Plus, we’ll try to figure out whether any of these rumors might still come to fruition in Doomsday, with Doom in the role originally intended for Kang. Check out our full discussion below.

] | 2024-08-07T22:53:23+00:00 | Netflix's partnership with Snyder has been a dud, and we're seeing the ramifications on Snyder's other franchise, Army of the Dead. | en | Punch Drunk Critics | https://punchdrunkcritics.com/2024/08/netflix-scraps-plan-to-expand-zack-snyders-army-of-the-dead-franchise/ | Just days ago, Netflix released the R-rated extended cuts of Zack Snyder’s two Rebel Moon films. Nobody seems to be talking about them at all, which isn’t a good sign considering the original cuts were widely panned by audiences and critics. It’s safe to say that, for the most part, Netflix’s partnership with Snyder has been a dud, and we’re seeing the ramifications on Snyder’s other franchise, Army of the Dead.
In a new piece by The Wrap, it’s confirmed that plans to expand the Army of the Dead franchise with sequels and an animated series have been quietly canceled.
Snyder’s response when asked about it was, “We are very ambitious with everything.”
He’s not joking. Rebel Moon also had a similar plan that may or may not come to fruition. We’ve been saying all along that it feels like Netflix is quietly dumping the films by releasing both Snyder Cuts on the same day. If they were really popular as previous reports suggested, Netflix would want to capitalize as much as possible. They are clearly doing the opposite. | |||||

10 Things to Know Before Playing Concord
Welcome to MojoPlays, and today, we’re taking a look at the 10 things you need to know before jumping into “Concord”.
Story
Despite being an online multiplayer PvP game, “Concord” does have an overarching story. We follow a group of space-faring adventurers - Lennox, Haymar, Vale, Star Child, and 1-OFF - hoping to make a name for themselves in an organization known as “the Freegunners”. But they aren’t the main stars of the game. You will have a total of sixteen Freegunners to play as at launch, each from a different faction. More on them later. You’ll get your intro to the aforementioned group when you first boot up the game. As for the rest, their stories will be unveiled through more cutscenes that will be released every week.
Combat
Like any hero shooter, every character comes with a unique weapon and a few abilities to help turn the tides of battle. Each Freegunner comes with two active abilities ranging between additional weapons, healing, respawning, and more. However, every character also comes with a passive ability, some of which are only triggered when executing a dodge. With your shooting skills and use of powers, you and your teammates will have to work together if you want to come out on top. Seriously, you cannot go lone wolf. “Concord” is built around teamwork and knowing how each character plays.
Game Modes
At launch, “Concord” will come with four game modes for you to play. The main ones are Team Deathmatch and Trophy Hunt, the latter being a mode where you collect an object after eliminating a player to confirm the kill. There is also Area Control and Signal Hunt, which will task you and your team in maintaining control over a point on the map. Cargo Run and Clash Point are roughly the same as the control point modes. There was a fourth game mode in the menu, but it was unavailable during our time with the beta. Perhaps this will unlock at launch or sometime after.
Roster
As we mentioned earlier, there will be sixteen characters available for you to play as at launch. While there are a few Support-types and a couple of tank characters, most of the roster consists of Freegunners that are focused on offense. You got some sharpshooters with pistols, a few characters with assault rifles and grenade launchers, one who can throw knives with great precision, and more. You will also be able to unlock cosmetic items from earning XP and improving your skills with them. More characters will be added after launch as well, so you might come across another fun character later down the road.
Maps
During the beta, there weren’t a lot of maps for us to play in. In our time with the game’s open beta, we only got to play in four maps, each having similar layouts. Each map featured areas that could be chokepoints, narrow corridors ripe for ambush setups, and at the center of them, a wider area for total warfare. Though each were unique in visuals, they all kind of felt the same. In “Concord’s” defense, twelve maps will be available at launch, and more maps will be added later down the road. So, perhaps there will be a more robust selection of maps when the game is out.
Progression
Cosmetic items can be earned XP across matches. Just like any other online shooter, the amount of XP you earn will be determined by your performance in each game. However, there are ways to earn even more. You’ll be tasked with various challenges every day, every week, and every season, and they can range between dealing damage with a character to simply racking up eliminations between games. In our time with the beta, fulfilling these challenges was done without too much effort, but this could change as more people become familiar with “Concord’s” mechanics and eventually begin to exploit a meta.
Who is Firewalk Studios?
Everything surrounding Firewalk Studios has been confusing to say the least. Despite being a brand new studio, Sony acquired the company in 2023 before the publisher began axing other live service projects from its more veteran studios like Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” online game and Firesprite’s “Twisted Metal” revival. So, why is Firewalk getting leniency? Well, despite being a new name, much of its staff is composed of developers who have worked on games, the founders themselves having worked on “Destiny”. Even so, the quick acquisition is worthy of skepticism as it sort of implies Sony sees something truly special in “Concord”...possibly. Although, players are saying differently.
Public Perception
After two betas, one being open to those who pre-ordered and one being open to PlayStation Plus members, players have begun voicing their impressions of the game. And while Sony may seem something in “Concord”, most of the public does not. Critics have complained about the generic roster of characters while remarking that the gameplay does feel solid. Unfortunately, for an online game charging as much as it is, many are finding it hard to find a reason to believe in “Concord”. Others are wondering what “Concord” is even doing that other hero shooters and online multiplayer games aren’t. If the weekly cutscenes are all it has going for it, then we really have to wonder about…
The Player Count
Within the game’s final month before launch, there has been much discussion surrounding “Concord’s” player count on Steam during its two beta weekends. According to SteamDB, “Concord” only saw a peak of just under twenty-four hundred players, and that was on its first day of the open beta. It only dwindled quickly from there. In our time with the beta, we were still able to find matches pretty quickly, and we had crossplay turned on. So, the question now is “are PC players and PS5 players two different audiences in ‘Concord’s’ situation?” Sony doesn’t share player numbers for any of their games, and in the case of “Concord”, the publisher has gone radio silent. Even at ChinaJoy 2023, “Concord” was shoved behind PlayStation’s booth, being nothing more than a banner with very little PlayStation branding.
Launch
Overall, there’s no telling if “Concord” is going to pop off. Even with its strong points in gameplay and feel, players don’t seem super invested in its characters nor its world. If you still want to check the game out for yourself, “Concord” launches on August 23, 2024 for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. The standard edition will run you forty bucks while the Digital Deluxe edition charges a twenty-dollar premium and nets you early access three days before launch as well as two cosmetic packs. Maybe Sony’s bets will pay off, but something tells us the odds are not in “Concord’s” favor. Here’s hoping we’re wrong.

Description[]
One of the prototypes of the next-generation flagship fighter. While the Assault Caesar is a well-balanced aircraft for offense and defense, this aircraft is designed with an emphasis on offensive power by concentrating the firepower forward. It boasts overwhelming firepower combined with the performance of the blaster, but since the defense power is sacrificed by that amount, it is vulnerable to surprise attacks from the side.
Details[]
The Enigma is a new model spaceship belonging to Earth's Galactic Fleet. This ship was designed with firepower in mind, having a concentrated frontal shot which causes heavy damage to enemies and bosses but lacking in speed and spread, only firing an additional stream to the back when fully powered up. Its Burst activates a dual flamethrower which covers its sides in short range. | ||

] | null | [] | null | en | /favicon.ico | null | Star Soldier (スターソルジャー) is an arcade-style vertical shooter developed by Hudson Soft and released in 1986 for the Famicom and MSX in Japan, and in 1989 for the NES in North America. Building upon other mid-80s shmups, Star Soldier is a fast-paced and agile, yet simple shmup. Being designed specifically with Hudson’s Caravan Festival competition in mind, Star Soldier places heavy emphasis on enemy quantity, variety, and competitive high-scores.
The resulting success of the title would lead to numerous sequels, spinoffs, and crossovers. The continued success of Hudson’s Caravan competition would also give rise to similar shmup tournaments from other publishers, such as Naxat Soft's Summer Carnival which involved Recca and Alzadick, and further expanding the competitive shmup audience in Japan.

Story
“A strange and evil presence is lurking in space. Crushing Everything in its path, destroying spaceships full of innocent people, the fearsome Starbrain is threatening the entire Galactic Empire. Starbrain, a giant computer programmed only for destruction, inhabits an enormous space station, guarded by enemy ships and robot creatures. To penetrate the station is a job for the most skillful and experienced Star Soldier: you! You'll be piloting Caesar, the fastest fighter ship in the Galactic Fleet, with an awesome arsenal of weapons at your fingertips. Only you can end the brutal Starbrain's spree of destruction, and restore peace to the galaxy!” - NA manual
Gameplay Overview
Star Soldier is a one-button shooter. There is a low-rate negligible auto-fire that greatly increases once as the player collects their first upgrade. Movement is 8-directional and environments scroll vertically. Movement is relatively agile for a shooter of the period.
The gameplay of Star Soldier is relatively simple. Stages scroll vertically and enemy attacks consist primarily of small aimed shots. There is a greater emphasis on large enemy quantities and environmental elements than having a large amount of on-screen bullets.
There are a total of 16 stages with 2 alternating bosses. If the player fails to defeat the boss within a given time-limit, the player is brought back to the midway point of the level and they must clear it once more until they successfully defeat the end-stage boss.

Power Levels
There are power-up capsules hidden within the P-mark ground targets that can be collected after the player has sufficiently damaged them.
Catching a single capsule increases the rate of auto-fire significantly. Two capsules adds a tailgun. Collecting three gives the player five lines of fire (one forward and four diagonally in the front and back), as well as a shield. The shield is able to absorb shots enemy bullets, but does not prevent death from crashing into enemies.
Getting shot once while shielded decreases the player's lines of fire back to three. Getting hit five times eliminates the shield.
Trap Zones
A unique feature of levels in Star Soldier are so-called “Trap Zones”. Throughout the levels, the player can dive in the background and become protected against enemy bullets and collisions. During this state, the player is also unable to return fire or collect items.
Strategy
With such a simple premise, the best strategy for Star Soldier is to eliminate enemies as quickly as possible before they progress to a point-blank range. Ground targets can interfere with the player’s range, but can be quickly disbursed.
Enemy patterns, trap zone locations, Zeg locations, and power-up locations are all consistent throughout runs, while enemy attacks and pursuit are variable. This combined with the score-chasing nature of Star Soldier makes it in many ways a hybrid between a memorizer and a traditional fast-paced shmup. The player will likely have to repeat stages multiple times to calculate their optimal path, if not due to losing as their are no continues.
Trap Zones can serve as both a blessing and a curse, so it's important to note their locations to both use them effectively and avoid accidentally missing out on points/power-ups by slipping under one. Slipping out of a trap zone is a matter of simply moving towards the edge of the object and onto it's surface, but they are not telegraphed.
A common strategy is to take a single deliberate hit upon collecting four power-ups, as the five lines of fire mode reduces your forward shot to just a single beam rather than two. Returning to the three lanes of fire mode allows you to deal damage to individual targets and bosses more effectively while still allowing you to tank four additional shots if needed.
Trivia
Star Soldier was created to be a spiritual successor to Tehkan’s arcade title Star Force, following the success of the Hudson-developed port of Star Force to the Famicom both commercially and in the first Caravan Festival.
An enhanced port to of Star Soldier to the Super Famicom was released in 1995 as part of the Caravan Shooting Collection, alongside Hector '87 and the Hudson Famicom port of Star Force. This version features additional sound channels allowing music and sound effects to play at the same time, as well as removal of sprite-flicker and slowdown present in the NES/Famicom version.
Star Soldier was given a quasi-remake/sequel for the PS2, Gamecube, and PSP as Volume 2 of the Hudson Selection series. It features fully redone 2.5D visuals, controllable ship speed, a secondary close-range attack option, A new a heavy metal rendition of the original's soundtrack, new unlockable ships, new stages, and new bosses alongside remakes of some of the original stages. It also includes the 2 minute and 5 minute Caravan modes featured in games from Hector '87 onward. | ||||||

Recommended Videos
It’s a complicated subject, the Army Men series. The 3DO Company released somewhere in the realm of 25 games between 1998 and 2002. When you consider some of the ports were made from the ground up and entirely distinctive to the platform they were released on, the actual number of unique games is probably around 35 or more. I’m sure you can already see the problem.
“The problem was with all the early success of these Army Men games, the executives at 3DO thought they could ship an Army Men game (or bundle) every quarter and be successful,” Michael Mendheim, creative director of Battletanx and the Sarge’s Heroes subseries, told me. It’s obvious. The output was stunning, putting even history’s most prolific market spammers, like Guitar Hero, to shame. What started as a promising series with a few hits on its hands quickly declined into one that was treated with scorn and derision by players and the press.
The result is that the Army Men games are poorly remembered. I’ve previously compared the series to a shotgun blast: a sudden and abrupt spread, sometimes causing a lot of agony. Few mourned the loss of the franchise, but I still visit to place flowers on its grave.
The 3DO Company was founded by Trip Hawkins, who previously founded Electronic Arts years earlier. Hawkins dreamt of a console that would become the universal medium for games. Licensing fees would be almost non-existent, so developers and publishers would jump aboard with little risk, abandoning frontrunners Nintendo and Sega. Hawkins left EA to pursue this dream, but by 1996, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer flopped under the weight of FMV game ports, and the company had to pivot to purely making software. Hawkins even took on a creative role to help out his teams.
Army Men started out quietly enough in 1998. The first game on PC, merely titled Army Men, was a reasonable success. Early the next year, Army Men II came out alongside a PlayStation remake of the first game called Army Men 3D. Again, these were pretty successful. By the end of 1999, however, a second PC title, Army Men: Toys in Space, the 3D action title Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes, and the top-down helicopter game Army Men: Air Attack were all released. Five titles in its second year, and the snowball had only just begun rolling.
That’s where Michael Mendheim comes in. In 1998, he was creative director on Battletanx, which was a hit for 3DO. He was then given creative license on his own Army Men title and envisioned a character-driven game with more of a story, and that became Sarge’s Heroes.
Once again, Sarge’s Heroes was a hit. If I can wade into the story for a moment, it’s where I was introduced to the series, and it’s one that still holds a place in my heart. It had its rough spots, but a lot of its design, especially when it came to its levels, was fantastic. I remember following it through Nintendo Power up to its release and playing the hell out of it.
While I’ve trudged through a great deal of the Army Men series since then and could give you the full and detailed history, that’s quite a detour. We’re going to hurry the story along here.
The important fact is that not only did the quality of Army Men titles start to plummet almost immediately, but the public’s appetite for the games declined just as fast. I’d say that the four PlayStation Army Men: World War games are pretty consistent fun, but by the release of the last two titles, the press was practically ignoring them.
It became something of a laughing stock. In 2001, Portal Runner was released to harsh reception. After a particularly scathing review in Gamepro Magazine, Trip Hawkins even went as far as writing to the Editor-in-Chief to defend the title in an almost comical fashion. He described the staff as “angry young men” and threatened to reduce their advertising. I can understand him wanting to defend his creation, but the letter wasn’t a good look.
Around 2002, the pace of releases from 3DO had slowed and the writing was on the wall. “We already had a round of layoffs; everyone was nervous about the company’s future,” said Mendheim. He had a team working on a game called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. “It was an edgy, gritty, post-apocalyptic nightmare, based on the Book of Revelation.” Mendheim also believed this to be the best chance at saving 3DO, but it wasn’t to be. “I was called into a meeting and told that I could keep a small team working on Horsemen but everyone else, including myself, would need to make another Army Men game. That Army Men game would be Sarge’s War.”
Sarge’s War would be the last 3DO developed Army Men game, put together in haste as the company took on water. “Honestly, it was like developing the game on the Titanic and it took 9 months for the ship to sink,” described Mendheim.
If you’ve played Sarge’s War, you may have been stricken with how tonally different it was from previous games. The series’ standard features were there, but a lot of the color was washed out of it. In its place was a grittier veneer, even over its more cartoonish elements. The entire supporting cast of the Sarge’s Heroes sub-series–all of them–were killed in an explosion, sending Sergeant Hawk into an avenging rage.
This was the sound of a series dying. There are plenty of franchises that have disappeared from the face of the planet, never to be heard from again. Jazz Jackrabbit, Top Gear, F-Zero; there are many easy examples of games that have just…gone away. Sarge’s War was a game on its deathbed, one last defiant scream before the embrace of oblivion. It was a deliberate move to put the final nail in the coffin and bring closure to the series.
I think Michael Mendheim put it best. “There are certain games that you just put your heart and soul into because you love the content, they are your babies. Sarge’s Heroes was one of those games for me. Every character in the game was developed with love and passion. Sarge’s Heroes was fun, positive, and hopeful. It was a game that made you laugh and feel some magic.”
“Sarge’s War was the opposite of that. It was grim and dark. The story in Sarge’s War was about loss. Losing everything that you love and care about. In the plotline, the entire cast and crew – Sarge’s Heroes died with 3DO. Everyone except for Sarge.”
“When I killed off Sarge’s Heroes, I also killed my desire to ever design another Army Men game. I designed the first and last game in the Sarge’s Heroes product line.”
By the end of development, 3DO had already breathed its last, and Sarge’s War wound up getting released by Global Star Software, a subsidiary of Take-Two and the new home of the Army Men license. Some sources credit Tactical Development for completing the game, but according to Mendheim, “Our orders were to finish the game and that is what we did…the game was delivered completed as the ship went down.”
In comparison to the Army Men games that came before it, Sarge’s War was less rickety. It’s obvious that some of 3DO’s best remaining talent had worked on it, though under less than ideal constraints. It doesn’t reach the height of the series, but knowing the story behind it underlines it with melancholy. It’s a surreal experience.
“There are no bad guys in this story; everyone did their absolute best to try and keep the company alive,” explains Mendheim. “No one sets out to make a bad game. No one worked harder than Trip Hawkins, who even put his own money on the line to try and save the company. Unfortunately, not every story has a happy ending.”
Global Star made a token effort at continuing the Army Men series. Their first attempt was Team 17’s Army Men: Major Malfunction in 2006, which I’ve previously covered, and it’s awful. Later they’d try another reboot with Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune in 2008, which is similarly terrible. There was a mobile game for pre-smart phones, and then that’s it. Aside from a few re-releases, the series has been left to rest peacefully.
Whether or not it deserved that fate is a matter of opinion. On one hand, it was unwise and intrusive to flood the market with those titles. Releasing games of questionable quality to bank on a brand should never be commended. But on the other hand, they weren’t without merit or appeal. The best games were just buried under the worst. It could have been straightened out. It didn’t have to end this way. | |||||

] | 2024-08-07T00:00:00 | Capcom's latest title mixes tower defense, visceral action and a bit of "Pikmin" in an unusual adventure | en | The Mercury News | https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/08/07/review-kunitsu-gami-path-of-the-goddess-blends-genres-and-japanese-folkore/ | Thirty years ago, a game like “Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess” may never have made it to American shores. Publishers would have judged it too foreign, with characters influenced by Japanese folklore and fighting moves inspired by an ancient form of dance called the kagura.
Capcom’s latest title, an action-strategy game, would have been hard to explain to U.S. audiences in the past, but the pop culture landscape has changed, with anime becoming more mainstream and gamers more interested in Japanese culture. In that environment, a project such as “Kunitsu-Gami” can carve a niche for itself based not just on the gameplay but also the subject matter as well.
It’s a fascinating title that mixes the strategy of tower defense games with the visceral combat of an action title such as “Devil May Cry.” Thrown in the mix is a dabble of “Pikmin” for good measure. It’s an amalgam of genres that works but it also has some of the console drawbacks.
THE STORY SO FAR
“Kunitsu-Gami” follows the Maiden Yoshiro and her Guardian Soh who are traveling around Mount Kafuku when a defiling essence takes over the land. Villagers are cocooned up and monsters called Seethe attack whoever is out at night. It’s up to the two to purify the contagion spreading on the mountain. That will take them through 27 chapters, where the two have to rescue villagers, rebuild their towns and fight bosses inspired by “yokai,” a Japanese term for creepy-looking spiritual beings.
The campaign is divided into two types of levels. The first drops Yoshiro and Soh in the village at daytime. Players must quickly purify defilement and rescue cocooned villagers. They’ll have a carpenter who can repair contraptions such as barriers or drums that dispel curses. Soh can assign villagers new jobs based on the classes they unlock. They can transform them to Archers for ranged attacks against flying enemies or sumo wrestlers to soak up damage as tanks.
Assigning roles to villagers is part of the depth as players have to figure out how to defend the maiden before nightfall. Once that happens, the Torii gates turn into portals that allow the Seethe to inundate the battlefield. Soh and the villagers will have to battle through the night. Defeating adversaries gives players crystals, which is the resource that allows Soh to transform villagers to Spearman that will fight for the cause or a Shaman who will heal the defenders.
HOW TO WIN
This part of “Kunitsu-Gami” is comparable to a tower defense game, but Soh is a hero character who can turn the tide of battle and make up for any shortcomings on defense. The Guardian is also in charge of using crystals to carve a path for Yoshiro so she can purify the corrupted Torii gates and clear a level.
Although it’s a simple concept, the developers do a smart job of mixing up the level design so that players will have to adapt to different scenarios. Some levels call for players to keep lanterns lit during battle while other confrontations take place on the water. The team experiments with unusual concepts and it shows how much potential this take on the tower defense has.
The second level-type are boss battles. Most of the time, the villagers saved in the previous level are available for these encounters. Players have to figure out the type of battalion to build to take on the monster awaiting them. Some bosses will be weak to ranged attacks while others require tough fighters that can take a powerful blow and still keep attacking.
CONSOLE DRAWBACKS
In “Kunitsu-Gami,” Soh is essentially immortal. When the guardian loses all their health, they turn into a spirit and have to wait to return to battle but they can still heal minions using rations. Players will only lose when Yoshiro loses all her health. In boss battles, players have to balance doing an all out attack against the major adversary or rushing back to protect the maiden. Players have simple commands for assaults and defense, and that makes the game feel like “Pikmin” at times.
The big issue with this setup is that in tougher confrontations players will need to quickly space out their squad to avoid a major attack or carefully maneuver their soldiers in better positions. When this happens, players have to pause the fight and move every unit individually, which slows the game and feels clunky on consoles. It’s a problem that has plagued real-time strategy elements in console games.
When it comes to an unusual title like this, the developers have to teach players the core concepts before ramping up the difficulty, and the team behind “Kunitsu-Gami” does that well. Even when it gets difficult, the design is flexible enough that players can switch around the upgrades on their soldiers to emphasize different strategies with stronger minion types. In addition to this flexible progression, players will also pick up new abilities and power-boosting trinkets that they can equip.
It’s another layer of depth to for a genre-bending project that mostly succeeds at mixing disparate elements into a cohesive and fascinating world of Japanese folklore.

You guys forgot the Inazuma Eleven games

HeartGold and SoulSilver are still the best Pokemon games imo!

Happy to see Sonic Chronicles in here. It's very popular to hate on the game - and with the common consensus on modern Sonic, the meme-worthy music, and cheaper aspects of the title, I can see why. But it's still a great time and a solid title for anyone curious to see what a Sonic RPG would be like. Plus I found the touch controls to make the battles quite engaging.

A lot of good games on here. Recently purchased EO3 for around $80. Even purchased a DS because I hate playing DS games on the 3DS. Definitely worth the plunge. Great experience and it opened up access to my DS games again.

Anti-Matter
I played :
1. Final Fantasy III
2. Final Fantasy IV
3. Kurikin: Nano Island Story
4. Zettai Onkan Otoda Master
5. Pokemon Black 2 & White 2
6. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

I'm sorry you LIKED Sonic Chronicles?
Not even getting into stuff like the godawful OST its story is super paper thin with an incredibly flat antagonist and the battle system's overreliance on touch inputs and how easy they were to screw up due to how quick in succession they came broke the pacing of battles significantly
Also the Mass Effect-like dialogue tree is leagues below anything else BioWare has done and doesn't feel like it has long term consequences for your actions compared to those other games

jamesthemagi
Have not played Sonic Chronicles, how is it?
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and Nostalgia were kinda meh
The rest of the list I am happy with
Don't know what else to add
Edit: I just remember Magical Starsign was awesome! @Damien McFerran
Edit 2: Someone mentioned DQ 4-6 are missing
So many great games on this little handheld!

Ah yes, TWEWY. Loved that game to death back in middle school. Still my favorite game of that era.

Sitting here being reminded I need to play my copy of Sonic Chronicles. I got the game as a gift years ago, played for a bit, and it's been sitting in my backlog since. Other games I was playing at the time got in the way.

Judal27
Lmao those prices tho. Thank you emulation
And i enjoyed sonic chronicles for what it was. It was just as fun to me as the Mario and Luigi games, especially when it came to exploring the overworld. But i don't think it has any business being in a best ds RPGs list tbh
11
Kyloctopus
I’m in the middle of a playthrough of Glory of Heracles on DS. It’s not the best RPG, but its doing some interesting stuff in the plot and I do like its “Front Line/Back Line” battle system.
12
nhSnork
I know it's hard to encompass everything with lists like these, but while skipping both Project X Zone games on 3DS was an oof enough in itself, colour my obnoxious fan butt truly triggered now. A "best NDS RPG" list and not a single Rune Factory???
13
Bahamut_GR
That's a pretty bad list. Too many great games left out:
Radiant Historia

Please stop. These lists are terrible

I really like this look back on the DS.
If anyone is interested in playing these on the original hardware, as opposed to playing on the 3DS ( imho- DS games on the DS is the way to go), you can get a decent deal on refurbished units on ebay. I've gotten a couple and in my experience they are terrific. Just be sure to check the seller's reviews before purchasing.

Heh, still bummed that I waited too long to get the DQIX DLC. I’ll never finish that one now.

You can never really claim someone else's preferences are wrong. I'd have stuck with more turn-based combat games, than many of the action games listed that have some rpg-elements or just a story portion and anime characters, like Solatorobo (great game though), Kingdom Hearts etc.
Also Dragon Quest IV, V and VI would have been there instead of games like Infinite Space and Nostalgia had I made the list.
I question the basis for the claim that "the system wasn't flooded with quality titles" which the article states in the beginning. I simply disagree and the DS has lots of quality titles, and not just in the RPG department.

@tabris95
You're not wrong, i dig razorxkenshin's list, but it's cool to see articles about old systems.

Bolt_Strike
You included every Pokemon game except Platinum? Yeah no, Platinum is definitely better than Diamond/Pearl and Black/White. Diamond/Pearl was good, but had poor dex variety (no Fire types except Infernape and Rapidash stings badly), and Black/White was the start of a lot of the problems people had with modern Pokemon games like linearity and handholding. And it did a very poor job of being a "fresh start" when so many of the new Pokemon they shoved down our throat were similar to old Pokemon (Woobat and Roggenrola are pretty much Not Zubat and Not Geodude for example). I would rank the DS titles like this:
Platinum
HGSS
BW2
DP
BW

Xenomorth
@tabris95 Maybe tell them what's so terrible with this list instead of just saying it's terrible?
22
RadioHedgeFund
The 2 greatest dungeon crawlers ever made are Diablo and Phantasy Star Online.
The only portable Diablo is on Switch.
The only good PSO sequel since the GameCube is Phantasy Star Zero on the DS.
Thus it should be on the list.

Muddy_4_Ever
While some will praise Thousand Year Door as the pinnacle of a Mario RPG game... to me, it's Bowser's Inside Story. The narrative is so well-told. The idea of Bowser becoming a sort of incompetent middle manager with a really compelling personality flourished in this title. It remains one of the most hilarious games I've ever played. Controlling him was also a blast (literally). This is to say nothing of the immaculate pacing of the game. It was a TIGHT 20 hours where each hour built to a crescendo in the final battle. AlphaDream never ascended to such heights again. The pity is that with the studio's demise, we'll never see them have the chance to try to get there again. 😢
24
Ralizah
OK, c'mon, Strange Journey and both Devil Survivors were ripe picks for this list. They're better than 90% of this list, even putting aside the baffling inclusion of Sonic Chronicles.
I wish I'd picked up Solatorobo when I first heard about it.
At least EO3 is on here. Considering it's the only DS EO game without a 3DS remake, I'm super glad I own a complete copy of it. Those prices are bananas.
25
blackfox25
ok, the appearance of sonic chronicles took me by surprise, but to be fair the aesthetic and setting for the game is neat and some of the best writing the franchise has had.
doesn't mean I'll overlook the gameplay, graphical quality and horrendous music, but there was a lot of potential in this game.
too bad we will never see these ideas or characters ever return, thanks Ken Penders 😒
26

Sonic Brotherhood has no business on this list. I love the idea of a Sonic RPG but it just didn't work. Dark Dawn was okay, I guess. Shadow Dragon's placement i understandable. I would personally rank Covenant of the Plume a little higher. Radiant Historia being absent seems strange, but I assume the 3DS remake knocked it out of the rankings. Haven't played Partners in Time but I heard it' s infamously bad and never hear any praise for it. I still need to play Bowser's Inside Story, what little I played of it was pretty cool. Not sure why Chrono Trigger DS is so low. Decent list overall though, some of the entries were a bit odd though and I'm surprised there's no SMT entries like Devil Survivor or Strange Journey, but those have remakes on 3DS anyway.
27
Samuel-Flutter
I was about to say that if you included Partners in Time without including Bowser's Inside Story, you were crazy. Personally I think Partners in Time is the worst Mario and Luigi game (but it's still pretty good).
28
XiaoShao
Glad to see Contact on this list. Really great game that did some unique things! I wasn’t aware some publications trashed it when released. Who’s that referring to?
29
tabris95
@Xenomorth Yeah that's a fair point. I had to leave for work so I just left it at a "this is terrible" which is a bit unfair. I will give them some big points for including Sands Of Destruction and Infinite Space as they're real gems but other games like Sonic Chronicles and Kingdom Hearts Pretentious Random Name Generator have no business being here. What's worse, and this is true about all of these lists so far, is that with every bad game on these lists, they've excluded a game that really deserved to be here. No Devil Survivor 1 or 2 on BOTH the DS and 3DS list is a crime
30
OstianOwl
For shame not including the criminally overlooked Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.
Also, Sonic Chronicles? One of the best DS RPGs? Why would you say something so foolish yet so brave?
31
TheWingedAvenger
1) Dragon Quest IX (the only excellent RPG on the DS!)
2) Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
3) Final Fantasy IV (best version of this game!)
4) Final Fantasy III (but the PSP version is slightly better)
5) Nostalgia
6) Glory of Heracles: Soul Proof
These are the only good RPGs on the DS. In fact, they're the only RPGs on the system. The other games you think are RPGs are actually just visual novels (Chrono Trigger) and strategy RPGs (Luminous Arc).
When I say "visual novel", I mean a game that requires almost no input on the part of the player. You're just reading a picture book, and a very poorly-written one at that. Radiant Historia is another good example. They are 95% story and 5% game.
32
Expa0
Love this system so much, one of all time greats.
Here's some of my favorites: I included games from all genres since most my favorites are RPGs anyway so a non-rpg list would be kind of tiny on its own:
-Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Jouney
-Dark Spire
-Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon
-Advance Wars Days of Ruin
-Devil Survivor
-Dragon Quest 4
-Pokemon Black/White
-All 3 Castlevania games (Order of Ecclesia being the biggest standout)
-All 3 Etrian Odyssey games (of which 3 is the standout)
-999, one of the best Visual novels ever made...
-Retro Game Challenge
There's Chrono Trigger too though I personally don't really associate that with the DS.
It's just a really kickass system all around, the only problem is that its a handheld one, I'd love to play a lot of these games on the big screen instead.
33
GoldenSunRM
I absolutely disagree on Sonic. That game was as mediocre as a JRPG can be.
And Sands of Destruction, while being interesting, has a Battle system and a overall balance that are a complete mess.
Nostalgia has a great idea, but the game itself is the epitome of everything that is generic in a JRPG.
Was not expecting Luninous Arc 2 tough. Glad to see it on the list.
34
NF6429
If sonic chronicles had a good OST, I would be fine with its placement on the list, but the awful OST brings it down so much. I hope someone eventually does a hack with remastered music.
35
Desrever
I'm so glad to see Infinite Space on this list. Such a fantastic hidden gem that could always use a little more attention.
Its a slow start, but once you have a fleet of ships the battles feel so much more rewarding to play. Not to mention the gut punch that the story deals you in the 2nd act. Love it all.
Another favorite gem of mine that didn't make the list was Avalon Code. It came out fairly late in the DS life cycle, so its just a few polygons shy of being mistaken for a 3DS title. Loved the customizable battle system.
36
clvr
You must be really brave, if you're making a best of guide and you're leaving out DQ IV&V (among the best in the series), yet you put in the travesty that is Sonic Chronicles.
I mean I always knew NL isn't the place for incredibly thought out deep dives cause you have different priorities as a site, but geez this really makes it hard to take you seriously to be honest.
37
kaiofelipe
Yesterday, on the 3DS list, I commented on how that portable console was in the top 3 of best RPG catalogues. The DS is not far behind; it could be the 4th or 5th, next to the PS2.
Of the 30 games mentioned in this list I have all the Pokémon ones (and I also think Platinum should have been included instead of Diamond/Pearl, as it is superior in every way: plot changes, bigger Dex, post-game etc.), Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and The World Ends With You.
By the way, HeartGold/SoulSilver is the pinnacle of the series, and one of the best remakes ever.
38
Anri02
Ok, I saw Sonic Chronicles on the thumbnail and was, “No, they wouldn’t have”
39
GameOtaku
Sonic Chronicles and best don’t deserve to be in the same sentence. Are you guys nuts?! Not only is the game not good but this is considered the start of Archies Sonic comics downfall as Penders thought he owned the rights to all echidna characters.
40
coleman83
Okay but you forgot Radiant Historia and that is unforgivable. If you only play one RPG on the DS play Radiant Historia. It really is that good
41
gcunit
Lunar Knights anyone?
42
RushDawg
Golden Sun Dark Dawn was a real snooze fest. Your party characters talked WAY too much while actually saying very little and there was zero challenge to any of the battles.
43
tabris95
@coleman83 If it helps, Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology got a spot in their 3DS list earlier
44
Maulbert
Unpopular opinion: TWEWY is vastly overrated. The controls are terrible and the story is obtuse gibberish.
45
TheFox
These lists are always clogged with Pokemon. I'm thinking that franchise has to be something you had to get into as a kid to appreciate as an adult. I bought Black on the DS as my first (and thus far only) Pokemon game. It was... fine. I enjoyed it somewhat, but if I ranked my DS RPG's best to worst, it would be dead last. The gameplay was fun, but not amazing, and the story was mind numbing.
46
Baker1000
What major upgrade were people hoping for with Golden Sun: Dark Dawn? I was hoping for more of the same! I got just that, no need to fix a formula that was already perfected

Loved FF:CC Ring of Fates! I never got around to the other one though.

Bongo_mcnulty
If you want a cheaper way to play Chrono Trigger on DS, it's worth picking up a Japanese copy. The game has a full English translation on the cart, it's region free, and it goes for a heck of a lot cheaper than the Western release.
52
dluxxx
No Devil Survivor on either ds list eh? That's super interesting...
53
TheFox
@dluxxx SMT got some love on the 3DS list, but none on this one. I played Devil Survivor 2 and really liked it, but Strange Journey... I just about doused my trousers from how amazing that game was!
54
dluxxx
@TheFox I couldn't agree more, I love Strange Journey!
55
mafalb
Excuse me, but where is Suikoden Tierkreis? That's my favourite RPG on the system
56
KingMike
@Bolt_Strike Sorry, BW was linear and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum was not?
I can remember getting stopped on Pearl somewhere.
It was probably one of those moments like "just go do the Gym because you can't find anything else to do and watch story magically happen afterwards".
At least if you're going to make me do a Gym for plot progression, at least time me you're doing it with even the most paper-thin reasoning.
57
Eddyson
I had so much with infinite space! The DS transformers game also felt like an RPG.
58
Low
Strange Journey was one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The combination of SMT with last ditch military operation storyline was fantastic.
59
DiamondJim
Sure there were some obvious ones left off the list such as SMT but I loved reading through this as most of these games I haven’t played and a few I never knew about
60
Ghostchip
Um strange journey is probably the best RPG on the console and smt devil survivor is just as good so... I guess it makes sense as these aren't household names but isn't it not doing the article justice to have two contenders for first depending on who you ask off the list entirely... While sonic dark brother whatever is there a just decent game.
61
Peppy_Hare
DQ IX is REALLY good!
62
Bolt_Strike
@KingMike DP had some linear moments, but much less than BW onward. There were a lot more optional paths and areas, there were more instances of backtracking, and you could even choose whether to visit Veilstone or Pastoria first. BW though? Rigidly linear from start to finish, the whole region was basically a straight line, you couldn't move onto the next gym before finishing the current one, very few instances of backtracking or revisiting areas, and no optional paths, just the occasional side dungeon. There is a very tangible difference between DP and BW in linearity, and it stuck with the series from then until Legends Arceus (and that's something that a lot of fans have hated about modern Pokemon games).
63
DoubleDate
Golden Sun 1 and 2 are such masterpieces, one of the finest games that i have played on the GBA. I cant say the same about Dark Dawn, what a wasted potential, that game was hot garbage, i couldnt get into it, i tried like 4 times to like the game but everytime i ended not playing it. Such a shame because Golden Sun is one of my favourite RPG'S.
64
Krull
From the intro: “ As you can see, the system wasn't flooded with quality titles...”
That explains the Sonic RPG getting into the top 30 then.
(Doesn’t explain the absence of SMT titles, Dragon Quest IV-VI and Magical Starsign, but hey - it’s almost like this list was generated to provoke debate.)
65
RudyC3
Avalon Code should have been on there, I believe it's way too underrated. I, myself, ignored it when it came out, then I got it offered to me for one of my birthdays, and absolutely loved it.
In that game you can add stuff you encounter to your magic book to capture their essence. Those can be people, places, plants, weapons, etc. Then you combine them to create new things that you can use in combat. It's made by Matrix Software, the same people you owe the DS Final Fantasy games, so you know it's made by good devs that knew the DS inside and out, especially by that time.
And then like many said, the Nintendo DS Dragon Quest games were amazing, especially the remakes of IV-VI, I think they hold up better visually than even IX on the same platform. Radiant Historia is easily my favourite RPG on the system and it didn't make the list either (though it DID make the 3DS list, so that's "something").
Finally I don't see anyone mentioning Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals in the comments section OR the article. Gotta give it some love! I also quite enjoyed Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier for the big boobed ladies in combat ^^. OK I'm done now.
66
Low
Super Robot Taisen was pretty awesome for the Cowboy Bebop/Outlaw Star style narrative. Good choice.
67
StephenYap3
Outside of Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, there personally hasn't been any DS RPGs I enjoyed as many of the ones I played just didn't deliver to me.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow was good, but the whole thing played too safe after Aria of Sorrow.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time felt too incredibly rushed and barebones, especially compared to its GBA predecessor Superstar Saga.
Pokémon Diamond/Pearl was simply nothing special and felt like a copypaste port of Ruby/Sapphire with a tacked-on second screen.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was a mixed bag that suffered too much from gimmicks and Bowser being too OP'd, even by a Mario RPG standpoint.
68
Takkunxx
Lol what a crappy list they missed the best JRPG and probably the best NDS game : Ni No Kuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi (Dominion of the Dark Djinn)
69
Fandabidozi
A role call of many of my favourite games there. All of the Pokémon ones, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
I also play GBA games on my DS and with my flash card: ZX Spectrum, Amstrad, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and GameBoy.
70
I-U
I had a better time with Magical Starsign, an exclusion, than I did with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The sluggish battles pretty much ruined Generation IV for me until I got Heartgold. Black/White, I don't care how linear they are, the pace of battling probably got perfected with Gen. V and made that generation a significant improvement over IV. I would also say Magical Starsign is a better time than Nostalgia and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn currently.
I'm about a third of the way through my first playthrough of Dark Dawn, and there have been times when I'm just not into the game's narrative structure. The main story quest is to go across the continent in search of a special feather, and that has been out shined by pretty much every subplot I've experienced in the game. Its narrative is out of order in my opinion. Currently, I'm in a sweet spot in the game where I'm not being reminded of the reason the adventure began in the first place. Tyrell also is the first time I think a single character has caused me to lose interest/dislike a game. Thankfully I can swap him out for battles at least now that I have 5 party members.
Magical Starsign has a comparable cast in terms of age; however, its adventure begins over a missing person significant to the cast not over a rare feather to fix a machine broken by an annoying character. Its narrative is driven on something that actually feels significant and I think the game gained range by having a serious situation, a missing person, paired with a very young main cast. From there, no matter how silly or dark the game decided to go, Magical Starsign's narrative always felt like it fit the whole.

McFerran, please don't pretend like Sonic Chronicles is good.
72
RenYuMakoto
wow, many game i don't know. Now i have many titles to try. Thank NintendoLife
73
KingMike
@StephenYap3 Maybe Diamond/Pearl wasn't the biggest step forward in graphics fidelity but it added perhaps one of the single most important balance-fixing game mechanics: Called the "Physical/Special split", allowing moves to be individually defined as Physical attacks or Special attacks. aka how my Magneton became 400% better learning an attack move only 10 BP higher.
No more is high Attack power a waste of stats on a Water Pokemon.
Oh, and also adding online battling/trading to the franchise for the first time was probably a little important (even though I personally didn't play online much).
74
AlienX
Pokemon DP: It's more of the same graphics of the GBA, so I like it, I never got used to B&W's half-3D visuals, so this is like the last true 2D game, even though it still had 3D elements.
TWEWY: it's a masterpiece.
KH 358/2 Days: KHII gameplay on your DS, what's not to like?
FFIV: If I didn't prefer sprite art, this would be the best way to experience the greatness of IV.
FE ShadowDragon: Best way to play FE1, visually it's a stepdown from the GBA titles, but it's a million times better than playing the Famicom, or the shortened SNES version.
Sonic: Well, it's Sonic so how could I decline? I always enjoy when they find a way to make good use of the large cast of characters, unfortunately I couldn't get into this one as much as I did Sonic Battle (Not an RPG but had a lengthy story and RPG elements.)
75
glaemay
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is missing. Love this game.
76
BulbasaurusRex
@TheWingedAvenger Strategy RPGs are a legitimate sub-genre of RPGs, and you're still leaving out a whole bunch of good DS RPGs that are neither SRPGs nor as you say "visual novels" like the Pokémon games.
77
BulbasaurusRex
@coleman83 I think they purposely ignored "Radiant Historia" due to already including the superior remake on the 3DS list. Thus its spot in such a guide was better left to something else to highlight assuming that most people would rather get the 3DS version instead.
78
BulbasaurusRex
@Bolt_Strike To be fair, the way the Pokémon series is designed, they never needed optional paths before the Pokémon League, and only in the 1st generation (and the post-game Kanto area of the 2nd generation) is there any choice in the order you can challenge some gyms, anyway. That kind of stuff is best saved for the post-game. Modern Pokémon games do have some issues, but linearity before the post-game isn't really one of them.
Besides, Black/White actually does have one large optional area before the post-game, and it even requires backtracking to reach it as well: The two water routes (17 & 18) to the west of Nuvema Town.
79
MARl0
How on earth is Dragon Quest V not on this list!? It's better than at least half of the games listed here.
80
Bolt_Strike
@BulbasaurusRex Pokemon is an adventure RPG where exploring the overworld is a major gameplay component. Linearity hinders that.
81
TheWingedAvenger
@BulbasaurusRex
Pokemon is its own genre. A turn-based RPG in which you collect monsters and make them fight each other. You can't put these games in the same category as Dragon Quest and Phantasy Star. Very different gameplay.
82
GameCollector84
A lot of these games were just mediocre RPGs back in the day. Knights in the Nightmare was added to my wishlist though. So thanks for that.
83
BulbasaurusRex
@Bolt_Strike No, it isn't! It's about collecting and battling monsters and doing so to become Champion and defeat the evil team. Exploration only matters in the postgame. Alternate routes and extra areas add nothing to the enjoyment of main series Pokémon games during the main story!
Besides, none of the games are truly linear anyway, since they all add extra areas to explore after you learn Cut, Surf, Strength, Waterfall, etc. (or the equivalent abilities in Gen 7+).
84
BulbasaurusRex
@TheWingedAvenger Wow, you are so wrong it's not even funny! Pokémon and other collection-based examples are just as much RPGs as any others!
Pokémon is only a small mechanical difference away from being just as much of a traditional turn-based JRPG as "Dragon Quest" or any others! The only differences are that you capture your party members and don't directly fight yourself, instead of gaining predefined party members through story events.
Besides, Pokémon is only one example of all the great RPGs you left of your list that are neither "visual novels" nor SRPGs, while you're still ignoring the fact that SRPGs are a legitimate sub-genre that need to be included in any RPG list.
85
Bolt_Strike
@BulbasaurusRex Exploration is a major part of it. You adventure and explore to reach the cities where gyms are, and you explore to find the Pokemon. That's where the exploration comes into play, it makes it more rewarding to find a new area with new Pokemon to catch or new trainers to battle instead of everything just being handed to you. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not part of the formula or doesn't add anything. | ||||

] | 2019-04-03T18:20:00+00:00 | Three more NES games are coming to Switch this month as part of Nintendo's online subscription service, with Punch-Out!… | en | /static/094d4b8771693e5c3b4140a5468f74d9/icon/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png | Eurogamer.net | https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-switch-onlines-nes-games-for-april-include-punch-out-star-soldier | Three more NES games are coming to Switch this month as part of Nintendo's online subscription service, with Punch-Out!!, Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, and Star Solider all confirmed for release on April 10th.
Punch-Out!! is, of course, the first console iteration of Nintendo's beloved arcade boxing series, which arrived on NES 1987. Its basic gameplay rhythm - which pits players against increasingly powerful foes in the ring, tasking them with spotting opponents' tells and figuring out the best response from a handful of moves - is still pretty engaging, even three and a bit decades on.
Offering number two, Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, is another winner, although its sadistic challenge probably isn't for everyone. It originally launched in Japan in 1986 as Super Mario Bros. 2, but was rejected for release in the west due to its extremely high difficulty.
Westerners were instead given a Mario-fied version of Nintendo's Doki Doki Panic as an alternative Super Mario Bros. 2, but the original Japanese NES game did eventually come west via the Wii's Virtual Console platform in 2007. And soon it'll be on Switch.
As for Star Soldier, it's the first entry in the Hudson-Soft-developed shoot-'em-up series of the same name, which initially launched on NES in 1986. Sadly, what with not being Eurogamer's resident shoot-'em-up expert Martin Robinson, about all I can tell you is that it involves going ever-upward and making stuff explode, although there's probably a little more nuance to it than that. Maybe I'll play it next week and find out.
Nintendo Online subscribers will gain access to all three titles when the NES app is updated at some point next Wednesday, April 10th. | ||||

The boss patterns are clever and taxing, and as I intimated earlier, the smaller scale of everything in motion on the screen simply allows for more of everything on the screen. More bullets, more enemies, trickier dodging patterns. And just as important: more bullet slipping on your part: your smaller ship allows you to pull off all manner of godlike projectile-evading mastery." | ||||||

] | null | [] | null | A series of sci-fi vertical scrolling shoot 'em ups developed by Hudson Soft. | en | https://www.giantbomb.com/a/bundles/giantbombsite/images/favicon.ico | Giant Bomb | https://www.giantbomb.com/star-soldier/3025-2091/ | Overview
Star Soldier is a 1986 NES shoot 'em up from Hudson Soft that was in part inspired by Star Force, an early Arcade shoot 'em up from Tecmo that was developed for home consoles by Hudson. As such, while Star Soldier is the first official game in the series, Star Force is often considered to be the precursor.
The Star Soldier games were developed primarily for an annual competition Hudson hosted, the Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival, in which players across Japan could compete for the highest score on a single game. The games were almost always a vertical-scrolling shooter, Star Force being the first to be used in the competition, and Hudson created new ones every year while the event ran. For this reason, Hudson created new shoot 'em up games between 1986 (the release of the original Star Soldier) to 1992 (the release of Super Star Soldier). Four of these were part of the Star Soldier series.
Games in the Series
Star Soldier was released on the NES and MSX in 1986. It was later rereleased on modern systems in retro-focused platforms like the Wii's Virtual Console and PSN.
Super Star Soldier was released exclusively on the TurboGrafx-16 in 1990. It was followed by Final Soldier in 1991 and Soldier Blade in 1992, also exclusively for the TurboGrafx-16 (though Final Soldier never left Japan) and were the last three games of the Hudson Caravan event.
Hudson revisited the Star Soldier franchise in 1995 with Star Parodier, a Parodius-like take on the franchise. Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth came out in 1998 for the N64 and adopted an angled top-down view that better accentuated the game's 3D polygons. In 2003, Hudson rebooted its more famous 16-bit franchises for the GameCube and PS2, including Star Soldier (which also saw a PSP port). Finally, Hudson (now part of Konami) resurrected Star Soldier one last time for the WiiWare Star Soldier R. | ||||

The NES port of Star Soldier was one of the first games I had growing up as a kid, so the series definitely has a special place in my heart. It's unfortunate, then, that this N64 entry proved to be such a major disappointment for me.
Being developed by Hudson, you'd be forgiven for going into Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth as I did with pretty lofty expectations. I mean, Hudson is no small time developer especially back in the 90s. They alone were reason enough to own a TurboGrafx-16 with games like Ys, Star Parodier, and Lords of Thunder to name a few. It's kind of like playing Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, and Super Metroid before going to Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. How could such an objectively talented and accomplished studio produce such a depressingly disappointing game?
While story is rarely a big driving force in arcade shmups, even by those standards, Vanishing Earth is okay at best. Some aliens launched an overwhelming attack on the Earth, and a small group of defenders has to fight them off. That's it. That's the story. I mean, yeah, that's the basic story of like 75% of the shmups out there, and I'm probably a little overly cynical because of how meh the whole game is, but there's legit nothing that sets it apart from the crowd. The audio is similarly forgettable. The music's okay, and the robot voicing when the bosses approach is interesting, but again, this is the studio that gave us Lords of Thunder. My expectations were higher. The gameplay is slow and cumbersome. Your ship feels like it's swimming through jelly, not flying through space. Your lasers do autofire if you hold the A button, but there's a delay between when you press the button and when they start autofiring. Because of that, I seriously played through the first three of the game's seven levels smashing the A button repeatedly before I realized that I just had to hold it down for a couple seconds to get it to start shooting more than once.
Pretty much the only aspect of the game that wasn't a massive disappointment for me was the visuals. It didn't blow my mind, but it does look pretty good for the Nintendo 64. The ships are all well modeled and animated, and the enemy attacks are usually pretty clear to see with the exception of a few awkwardly animated boss attacks. Unfortunately, impressive visuals aren't enough to redeem its dime-a-dozen story, mediocre sound design, sluggish controls, and so-so presentation.
Unfortunately, almost all of Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth is a massive disappointment. The game looks quite nice, but that's about as far as the compliments go. It's a shame, too, because the Star Soldier series deserved better, and Hudson was capable of so much better. Every studio has its duds, and this was one hell of a dud for Hudson. If you have a Nintendo 64 emulator on your PC or an Everdrive 64 cartridge, it might be worth checking out if you're a fan of Star Soldier like I am just to say that you experienced it, but don't get your hopes up, and definitely don't spend any money on this. It's just not worth the let down. | |||

] | null | [] | null | Military rank is more than just who salutes whom. Military rank is a badge of leadership. Responsibility for personnel, equipment, and mission grows with each increase in rank. | en | /Portals/1/favicon.ico?ver=wSJzjXOlssZVvf5cay20vA%3d%3d | U.S. Department of Defense | https://www.defense.gov/Resources/Insignias/ | Service members in paygrades E-1 through E-3 are usually either in some kind of training status or on their initial assignment. The training includes the basic training phase where recruits are immersed in military culture and values and are taught the core skills required by their service component.
Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration. In the Army and Marine Corps, this area is called a military occupational specialty; in the Navy it is known as a rate; and in the Air Force it is simply called an Air Force specialty.
At the E-8 level, the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force have two positions at the same paygrade. Whether one is, for example, a senior master sergeant or a first sergeant in the Air Force depends on the person's job.
The same is true for the positions at the E-9 level. Marine Corps master gunnery sergeants and sergeants major receive the same pay but have different responsibilities. All told, E-8s and E-9s have 15 to 30 years on the job, and are commanders' senior advisers for enlisted matters.
A third E-9 element is the senior enlisted person of each service. The sergeant major of the Army, the sergeant major of the Marine Corps, the master chief petty officer of the Navy and the chief master sergeant of the Air Force are the spokespersons of the enlisted force at the highest levels of their services.
Army: * For rank and precedence within the Army, specialist ranks immediately below corporal. Among the services, however, rank and precedence are determined by paygrade.
Navy / Coast Guard: * A specialty mark in the center of a rating badge indicates the wearer's particular rating. ** Gold stripes indicate 12 or more years of good conduct. *** 1. Master chief petty officer of the Navy and fleet and force master chief petty officers. 2. Command master chief petty officers wear silver stars. 3. Master chief petty officers wear silver stars and silver specialty rating marks.
Coast Guard The Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime and the Navy in times of war. Coast Guard rank insignia are the same as the Navy except for color and the seaman recruit rank, which has one stripe.

Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are specialists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. The lowest-ranking warrant officers serve under a warrant, but they receive commissions from the president upon promotion to chief warrant officer 2. These commissioned warrant officers are direct representatives of the president of the United States. They derive their authority from the same source as commissioned officers but remain specialists, in contrast to commissioned officers, who are generalists. There are no warrant officers in the Air Force.
The commissioned ranks are the highest in the military. These officers hold presidential commissions and are confirmed at their ranks by the Senate. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps officers are called company grade officers in the paygrades of O-1 to O-3, field grade officers in paygrades O-4 to O-6 and general officers in paygrades O-7 and higher. The equivalent officer groupings in the Navy are called junior grade, mid-grade and flag.
Naval officers wear distinctively different rank devices depending upon the uniform they're wearing. The three basic uniforms and rank devices used are: khakis, collar insignia pins; whites, stripes on shoulder boards; and blues, stripes sewn on the lower coat sleeves. | ||||

Star Solder is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Hudson Soft for the Famicom and MSX home computer in 1986. It was the fourteenth best selling Famicom game released in 1986, selling approximately one million copies in its lifetime. While it is the first in a series of games to bear the Star Soldier title, it is considered the second in what's known as the Caravan shooting collection, the first being Star Force. Back when Hudson Soft was a big name in the video game industry of Japan, they ran a nationwide video game tournament known as the "Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival" where players competed against one another in the popular shooting genre.
Star Soldier itself doesn't offer a tremendous amount of innovation, and not every concept that was introduced works flawlessly. For example, Star Soldier allows the players to duck under the terrain (by means that the player has relatively little control over) which makes the player invincible, but it also prevents the player from attacking and it can occur at the worst possible times, so its effectiveness is debatable. However, Star Soldier does feature a rather intriguing power-up system that ultimately allows for the player's ship to fire rapidly in five different directions at one time.
Star Soldier also contains a number of hidden items like bonus point tiles and power up tiles, some of which will only appear when certain conditions are properly met. The stage bosses would flee and send you backwards through the stage if you did not destroy them quickly enough the first time that you encountered them. The game was quite popular in Japan, but less so in the rest of the world. While sequels to the Star Soldier series were made, they have little to do with one another other than being vertically scrolling shooters with amazing power ups.
Star Soldier was first remade in 1995, along with two other NES shooters with very little upgraded, for the SNES in the Japan-only release of the Caravan Shooting Collection. In 2003, a 3D remake of the game was released for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube, but it was not entirely faithful to the original game. An upgraded version of this remake was released for the PSP in 2005. In 2004, Star Soldier was included as one of the 30 NES games to be released for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Famicom Mini series. It was also included in Hudson's own compilation of Famicom shooters in 2006 in Hudson Best Collection Vol. 5. In April 2019, it was added to the NES Nintendo Switch Online application for all regions.

] | 2024-08-05T12:39:58+00:00 | After a decade of publication, My Hero Academia has come to an end, so let's delve into why I never could connect with the series. | en | The Escapist | https://www.escapistmagazine.com/why-i-never-cared-about-my-hero-academia/ | After ten years and lots of critical acclaim for both the manga and the anime, My Hero Academia has come to an end, and I can’t muster any feeling towards it one way or the other.
Recommended Videos
It’s a sentiment similar to the one I had when Attack on Titan ended last year. Yes, I can acknowledge the amount of love and attention that the series has garnered since it debuted in Shonen Jump and how its more measured anime adaptation prioritized quality over pumping out new episodes as quickly as possible. But much like Attack on Titan, I could never get into the series, no matter how hard I tried. Whether it was watching the anime or reading the manga, every attempt I had to engage with the series left me cold. And now it’s all over.
On August 5th, 2024, Kohei Hirokoshi’s superhero epic wrapped up. As I’m writing this, the final chapter has yet to be released, but even if it somehow offers a finale that lives up to everyone’s expectations, I don’t think it will incentivize me to start following the series now that it’s all said and done. So, much like last time, I wanted to offer up an explanation as to why I never got into one of the most popular Shonen properties of the last decade.
I admit, when I first heard of My Hero Academia in 2014, I didn’t care for it. I had already written it off before reading a single chapter. Why? Because of its inspiration. While Kohei Hirokoshi had said that he was inspired by manga like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, most of the aesthetics and themes of the series took their cues from American comics. Hirokoshi has been a huge fan of American comics and read them even before they became popular in Japan thanks to the worldwide success of numerous Hollywood superhero franchises like the MCU, Spider-Man, and the X-Men series. Because of that, Hy Hero Academia was seen as a blending of the two cultures – making an American superhero epic from the perspective of a Japanese Shonen action series.
But it’s because of that blatant connection that I became disinterested in the series, whether it was fair or not. I’m someone who loves to read American superhero comics. I’ve been a DC fan for most of my life and at the time I was reading comics like Scott Snyder’s run on Batman, Brian Azzarello’s wonderful run on Wonder Woman, and various smaller series like Secret Six, Animal Man, and Batgirl. These titles gave me exactly what I wanted – stellar artwork, great action, and solid character drama. These series were also part of a large, interconnected world that would come together in grand events that would shake the fabric of the world. When I saw My Hero Academia, I had assumed that the series was a pale imitation of those tropes.
On that, I can safely say that I was wrong. My Hero Academia takes a lot of the iconography of superheroes and puts its own, worthy spin on it. In the world of My Hero Academia, anyone is capable of being a hero. Even if you’re like Deku, a person who was born without a Quirk and logically shouldn’t be able to become a superhero, still tries to. He pushes himself to be accepted into U.A. High School and slowly becomes the hero he always wanted to be. It’s a theme that’s universal in superhero comics. It doesn’t matter if you have powers or not. Anyone can be a hero with enough determination and perseverance.
But still, my bias against the series stood. Even as the series exploded in popularity with the anime’s release in 2015, I tried to engage with it but found one part that stopped me in my tracks – its supporting cast. In the first season of the show, the series introduced an absurd amount of supporting characters to populate Class 1-A. While some of them received worthwhile development as the series went on like Bakugo and Todoroki, there were just too many characters to keep track of. Some of them were insufferable, like Mineta (though I won’t hold that against the series), but most just kind of existed, not providing a lot to the ongoing narrative. But instead of fleshing out this core class that Deku and his friends spend most of their time with, the series keeps trying to add even more characters.
My Hero Academia takes the concept of a large and shared superhero universe goes overboard with it yet doesn’t know what to do with it. Not only is Class 1-A introduced, but Class 1-B is also shown off despite most of its students hardly doing anything. It’s been shown that there are superheroes outside of Japan, but we hardly see any of them since the series is solely focused on Deku and the people surrounding him. The manga did get a spin-off, Vigilantes, that attempted to flesh out the world somewhat, but had minimal impact and those characters, yet again, rarely, if ever, factor into the events of the main series. Why bother designing all of these characters if the series doesn’t do anything with them outside of sporting slick designs and using their power for fight scenes?
Developing and maintaining a large supporting cast is tricky, especially for a long-running series. At the risk of sounding like a One Piece apologist, one of the strengths of that series handles is its supporting cast. They’re established within the confines of an arc and then are left once their story is concluded. There are rare instances where some side characters will reappear in future arcs, but they’re exactly that – rarities. Plus the series has trained its audience to expect check-ins with its cast in between major arcs or during global events, to remind audiences about the scale of the world and the events happening. My Hero Academia seems its supporting cast as background fodder and every time I interact with the series it just continues to prove that point.
A few years after the anime debuted, I gave the series another chance by watching the original movie, World Heroes’ Mission. I was given a screener in the lead-up to New York Comic Con and watched it, hoping that this non-canon film would generate some interest in exploring the series in more detail. I’ve always believed that non-canon anime films, or at least the good ones, should be a distillation of the strengths of their source material and are easy jumping on points for newcomers. But as I watched the movie, I was just bombarded by tons and tons and tons of side characters that ultimately didn’t matter and served as glorified cameos. The film centered on Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki, with barely any thought being given to anyone else. Is this true of the rest of the series? Does the show center on these three and their struggles to be heroes? That’s the impression that I got from World Heroes’ Mission.
So I continued to ignore the series. As I did, I started to hear more and more criticisms about the series. Keep in mind, these criticisms weren’t the majority consensus, but much like how people began to become dissatisfied with Chainsaw Man’s erratic tone or Jujutsu Kaisen’s treatment of its characters, people became comfortable sharing their dissatisfaction with the series. One of the biggest criticisms I saw of the series was the general lack of consequences that certain actions had. It’s a criticism I’ve heard a lot these past few weeks as the series’ epilogue doesn’t address the impact the final arc had on the world. While I couldn’t confirm nor deny these criticisms, what I will say is that this isn’t a problem this is exclusive to My Hero Academia.
If we’re going to argue that My Hero Academia is somehow weaker because it doesn’t show lasting consequences for its actions, then I would say that’s just par for the course with superhero comics and their constant need to maintain a status quo. How many times has there been a critically acclaimed run of a comic book that was quickly a swiftly ignored the second a new writing team stepped on board? It’s unfortunate, but if My Hero Academia suffers from a lack of repercussions, then it’s not the only series to be guilty of it is all I’m saying.
I love reading manga and comic books, but for some reason, My Hero Academia never came across like peanut butter and chocolate to me. These two parts should compliment each other well, and they do for most people, but for me they never quite sat right with each other. My Hero Academia came across as a pale imitation of the genre that I loved and instead of mixing superheroes and manga seamlessly, it instead took a lot of the comic book industries worst tropes and just put a Shonen spin on them.
But let me make one thing perfectly clear – if you are someone who loves My Hero Academia and are saddened to see it go, then I feel for you. I wish I could have overcome my biases and enjoyed the series just as much as you did. I have friends who don’t watch anime or read manga, yet they kept up with My Hero Academia for the better part of a decade. It clearly hit a nerve that affected millions upon millions of people, so who am I to say that someone shouldn’t enjoy it? If you were emotionally impacted by Deku’s journey to be a hero, then I hope this finale serves as the coda that you were looking for. I just won’t be one of the people looking back with reverence for a series that I thought never lived up to its full potential. | |||||

This is a situation currently unfolding at my husband’s office so I’m a very amused bystander and thought I’d get your opinion on this craziness.
My husband works in IT and is on the leadership team at a midsized private company. He was part of a panel that recently interviewed a number of folks for an open position on his team. They are entirely remote. They had a few candidates for a first and second round, and had one make it to a third final round before an offer. “John” accepted the offer and started last week!
Except … it’s not the John my husband remembers. My husband was confused and said the following things were odd:
– John has different hair and now wears glasses.
– John is talking extensively about working in a garage because his three children and wife are home. In the interview, he made references to being single and was visibly in an indoor desk area.
– John can’t answer a number of questions that they previously discussed in the interview, things pretty pivotal to the position.
– Husband describes John as being aloof and pretty timid whereas John was confident and articulate when they interviewed him.
He is convinced this is not the person they hired. I agreed that all those things taken together make this very odd but each one could have a valid explanation. I told him the most likely explanation is the hiring committee simply mixed up the candidates (or HR did) and the wrong John was offered and accepted. He agreed but said since only one candidate made it to the third round, that is really unlikely (other candidates had already been sent rejections before the third round even occurred). He’s confident they couldn’t have been mixed up.
All of this is a bit moot as my husband is in his notice period and will be moving to a new company in a few weeks … but he feels like he is going crazy. So my question is … is this a thing?! In a now mostly virtual world, are people perhaps paying people to conduct interviews for them?!?
The situation is actively unfolding so I’m sure I’ll have updates. The less mature side of me wants him to start planting fake references to the interview conversations they had to see if John bites, but I digress.
After receiving this letter, I got updates. Many updates (probably because I greeted each one enthusiastically and requested more)! So let’s do those first and then get to the question.
Update 1
11:57 am
A very quick update!
My husband just came out of his office and said he has a text from his boss “Holly” on his personal cell because she didn’t want it on the company network. She wants to know if he thinks John is acting a lot different than the John they hired. He responded and told her all of his suspicions with the caveat that he didn’t want to accuse him of anything but something is very off. She too thinks it’s unlikely candidates were mixed up because she has his resume and John claims all the same work history/credentials as the John they interviewed.
They are on a call with HR as I type this. Unclear if they are working out an error by the hiring committee /HR or unraveling fraud. More to come.
Alas, my planting fake call-backs idea had no time to come to fruition.
Update 2
12:25 pm
Husband just got off a call with Holly, their HR business partner, and the internal recruiter who sent the offer. They confirmed the right candidate was offered a job and agreed many things were odd. (Another oddity revealed on that phone call … John didn’t know who Holly was; she had to reintroduce herself and he asked about her role … Holly was on two of three rounds of interviews and they extensively reviewed their org chart and her role.)
They are currently speaking with their legal team to discuss options and when to bring John into the mix to try to explain.
Update 3
1:43 pm
It’s definitely been a crazy morning! They are waiting to hear back from legal — I think they are weighing whether they confront John and let him try to explain or let him go anyway. He either lied about his identity or lied about his experience since he’s unable to speak about the basics of the job now so regardless it seems like he will be gone. I will keep you updated on what he learns next!
Husband in a rabbit hole of research now and apparently this fake interviewing is a thing (the job in question is a mulesoft architect). Bizarre!
Update 4
3:13 pm
They heard back from legal … who are less than thrilled about the situation! They approved HR to have a conversation with John regarding what has been reported (more in the vein of “there’s been some concerns about performance and you overselling abilities” and less of the We Think You Are a Liar route).
In the meantime, legal approved security to put a trace on John’s computer to review if there have been outside messages or if his work is being completed with outside help or on a different computer altogether. My husband said the general consensus among the group on the call is that the talk with HR is going to send up a quick red flag and John is likely to resign claiming a poor fit rather than get caught committing or admitting fraud.
Hopefully another fun update soon! My husband is getting sick of me sitting against his office door eavesdropping :)
Update 5
5:07 pm
I think my last update for a while: as soon as HR got on the call with him, before they could get through their first question, John said the words “I quit” and hung up the calls. He has since been unreachable!!
So good riddance John. Their security teams are trying to discover what all he downloaded, if they’ll be able to get their equipment back, is John really his real name, etc. !!
Incredibly bizarre situation. Hoping it was a failed case of trying to get a job and not trying to steal company info but who knows — they may never!
First, thank you for this saga, which I found highly diverting.
So yeah, in response to whether this is a thing … as your husband found, the internet claims it’s a thing, particularly in IT jobs and largely because of the increase in virtual interviewing. The idea is that one person interviews and another takes the job, or one person interviews while another person feeds them answers. You could short-circuit the first category by having people show I.D. at the start of virtual interviews, but the second category is harder and you’d need to address it by being forthright and direct if the person you hire doesn’t seem to have the skills they appeared to have in the interview … which is something good managers should do regardless, but it’s easy to fall into thinking maybe the person is just still adjusting to the role and then suddenly you’re two months in with someone who was never going to be able to do the job because they Cyrano de Bergerac’d their interview. | |||||

] | null | [] | null | en | /favicon.ico | null | Soldier Force (ソルジャーフォース) is a PC game developed and released by Studio SiestA which is a tribute to games like Star Soldier and other similar Caravan games. The game is largely structured around the mechanics of Star Soldier, even bringing back the Trap Zone mechanic which lets players fly under structures to avoid enemy fire while invincible at the cost of being unable to fire while hiding. The game features a modern re-imagining of the 16 stages of Star Soldier plus 16 additional stages inspired by other games in the franchise. It is most notable for the number of musical remixes featured from multiple games such as Star Force, Star Soldier, Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier, and Soldier Blade.
Soldier Force was released in 2006. However, it got discontiniued because Studio SiestA got into some huge alleged legal problems with Hudson (the developers of Star Soldier and Hector 87) and Tecmo (the developers of Star Force).
Gameplay Overview
Soldier Force is a 4 button game, but only one of the four ships uses the 4th button.
Fire: Button held to fire continuously with your currently selected weapon.
SoldierTrip: Activates SoldierTrip if the SoldierTrip bar is full, the effect dependent on whether or not the player has shields in stock currently. Destroying enemies will slowly fill the SoldierTrip bar over time.
If no shields are active, using SoldierTrip will bring your ship to maximum power and give the player a full stack of shields.
If shields are currently surrounding the ship, this will activate a temporary hyper mode where each destroyed enemy will drop gold.
Change: Used to switch between weapons if you have any secret weapons in your possession.
Dock/Undock: Used only for Final Star SS. At max power you can use this to send out the extra pod or return the pod to the ship.
The Set-up Menu also contains a few gameplay options that can be adjusted:
Trap Zone: This can be toggled on or off, if set to on the player can fly under land structures by entering them from the bottom and a flat enough opening. The player ship is invincible while covered but cannot fire. If set to off, the player cannot fly under any land structures. New players would be advised to play with Trap Zone off if they do not like this mechanic, as it will also help find secrets more easily without being restricted on firing.
Secret Weapon Start: This option lets you start with a laser secret weapon if turned on.
Fighter Hit: Original is the size of the ship hitbox from 1.00, while Small is the default in 1.20 and features a smaller hitbox for the player ships.
Characters
Caesar: A well rounded character with good speed and a 5-way shot at max power. Crafted around the standard Star Soldier ship.
Noah: A character built around the ship featured in Hector 87. It is slower than other ships but has a controllable pair of side shots she can control and move in reverse to her up/down movement when fire isn't being held. Noah is the only character who gets to retain side fire if she loses max power at the cost of slower firing and more limited fire on screen at once. This makes her a very good character to play for survival, so is a good consideration for anyone trying to get far into the Nightmare mode/loop.
Final Star SS: Based on the ship featured in Star Force, a very technical ship with the highest speed abilities. It has a detachable pod at max power that can be placed in a fixed location or out left/right spaced from Final Star SS to match the ship's movement from a distance with a two-pronged attack. Final Star only shoots forward in a straight line unless it has the pod attached to the ship where it then fires in a cone, but the ship loses it's top speed in this form. Learning how to use the pod is essential to victory with this ship, but is difficult due to losing the pod if it ever gets damaged. This is a ship geared for masters.
Golden Humming: This ship is crafted around the Star Soldier ship at maximum power, serving as a powerhouse with special piercing lasers none of the other ships possess. It is widely the most used ship due to it's piercing shot attributes and lack of major flaws, but can have some serious recovery issues after death due to the strict shot limit when powered down.
Weapons
When starting off, the only weapon available will be the default weapon assigned to the ship chosen. If the player can uncover hidden secrets throughout the game however, they can use additional weapons.
Laser: A forward-firing thin laser which packs a good punch.
Golden Finger: An 8-Way shot with a limited fire rate. Good for saving weakened ships that are not at full power. Dying causes the player to lose the Golden Finger.
Items
Powerups: Every ship starts off very slow with limited fire and a pea shooter, earns a speed up after picking up one powerup, gets a secondary fire upgrade with a 2nd powerup, and reaches max power and extra spread/rate of fire/extra pod with a 3rd powerup. Picking up a 3rd powerup will also give a stack of shields that can take three hits determinable by circular bubbles that surround the ship. Their color indicates current damage, with red meaning shields are 1 hit away from breaking. Hitting physical objects like flying enemies or the silver balls that Star Brains shoot will immediately destroy all stacks of shield. Powerups are uncovered by shooting containers laid across various areas of each stage and zig zag slowly to the bottom of the screen once revealed. Powerups will block both your shots and enemy bullets, so in later stages it can be used as a form of protection briefly. Similarly to Star Soldier, picking up a powerup with shields will not increase your power if you are powered down but will instead destroy all active enemies on screen and reduce your destruction bonus to 0. Only if a powerup is collected with no shields active will the ship return to full power. For this reason, powerups are good survival tools but often avoided when it comes to score chasing.
Rank
Rank exists in temporary and permanent fashions.
Temporary Rank
If SoldierForce is ever used with shields active, this will raise temporary rank slightly until the player powers down.
Permanent Rank
If a player times out a boss, permanent rank increases a bit and the player is reverted to the B checkpoint of the stage. If this is done repeatedly across multiple stages, the game will become noticeably more difficult more quickly.
Loops
Playing through Normal Mode's 16 stages(warps ok) will let the player see stage 17 which is the beginning of Nightmare loop. After this stage is reached, Nightmare Mode will unlock in the main menu. To reach the TLB, the player must start on Normal mode and beat Stage 32 without using a continiue
Scoring
Extends: You can get five extends through score at 200K, 500K, 1M, 2.5M, and 5M points.
Destruction Bonus: Destroying all enemies of a wave will give a 1000 point bonus followed by 2000, 3000, etc as long as an enemy does not fly away and escape in any waves. Meteors/Falling Stars are not counted towards destruction bonus. This bonus will cap at 10000 points per wave. Collecting a powerup with active shields will destroy all enemies on screen at that moment and reset the wave destruction bonus.
Secret Bonuses: There are many secret Bonuses that will contribute greatly to score. Refer to the strategy section for more information on these secret bonuses.
Strategy
Soldier Force is excessively crammed with secrets to uncover in all 32 stages the game presents, as is expected from a game taking inspiration from various Star Force and Soldier games. Most hidden secrets require shooting at spots in stages that hide invisible tiles or icons until they are shot enough and then revealed.
Zeg: These are little Z blocks that grant exponential points per number uncovered each stage in 500, 1000, 4000, 10000, 40000, 80000 point amounts. Some levels actually have more than 6 Zegs so you can get 80K bonuses multiple times.
Lazarus Bonus: A warning pop up will show for a head-shaped enemy that enters the screen through four corner pieces and then combines twice to make a whole. When the upper and bottom halfs are in the process of meeting each other, you can shoot in between them and get an easy 80000 for destroying them before the halves combine.
Powerup Tiles: These are only accessible with the Trap Zone option toggled on. Flying under and completely through one of these raises you to full power regardless of your current condition including if you are powered down with shields, otherwise they do nothing if you're already at full power.
Delilah Bonus: All stages will have at least one pair of eyeballs that will close more based on their damage intake. Destroying at least two of these in a very small window of time as each other will grant a Delilah bonus worth 80000 points.
Secret Bonus!! Icons: These are each worth 40000 points and are scattered in various spots across most stages, directly referencing previous Star Force/Soldier games where the same icons would appear. They are uncovered by shooting them if the 1000's digit is even or odd depending on the icon.
Secret Weapon Laser: In stage 6 there are 4 circles in a square formation center screen shortly before the end stage Delilahs. This area needs to be shot several times with shot AND MAKE SURE that you are also mashing the key/button you have assigned to the Change button. Change will not be doing anything if playing default settings at the start of the game, but you need to mash Change several times while holding fire and the Laser panel will appear if enough damage is dealt. 40000 points are rewarded when this panel is uncovered and the laser will be equipped for the rest of the run which can be accessed by pressing Change to switch between your shot and Laser. This is a vital weapon to have as you can double tap Change to get a nice burst damage against troublesome enemies and Brains while still firing your main weapon.
There is also a 2nd laser that can be uncovered in stage 24 which is useful if the player starts from Nightmare mode. It is on the right side of the stage in a big mass of land shortly before the end stage Delilahs.
Finishing Nightmare mode or loop(continues allowed) will also toggle the secret weapon start option in the set-up menu.
Secret Weapon Golden Finger(8-Way Shot): The Golden Finger is unlocked the same way as Laser: Shoot at the tile it is hidden on and hold fire, then mash the Change button. Golden Finger is different than the Laser though in that if the player dies, they will lose the weapon. To counteract this, there are several stages in the game where a Golden Finger can be picked up:
Stage 3: On the 2nd land piece of land at the stage start, focus fire on the right side of the screen
Stage 11: Hanging mid-air on the left side of the screen after three clusters of Treaudo skulls can be seen in the second half of the stage.
Stage 17: Piece of land on the right side of the screen about a minute into the stage, shortly before end stage Delilahs.
Stage 25: Right side of the screen about 2/3 through stage.
Stage 32: Center of a 6-sided star formation in the middle of the stage, it is right after a lone Delilah that is in the middle of the stage.
Despite this weapon's infamous obscurity, it can be argued that it might be a hindrance to those that don't want to juggle three weapons. It can definitely help to keep the player alive while powered down, but practice may be needed before one is used to juggling multiple weapons and the case can be made that it is not something a player always wants to pick up.
Warp Panel: These are panels that can only be uncovered by shooting at them while the 1000s digit and the 100s digit in the current score are the same number. These are all the warp paths with (W) being the stage where you can find a Warp followed by the stage it takes you to: 1(W)-->4, 5(W)-->8, 9(W)-->12(W)-->15, 18(W)-->21, 26(W)-->29
1up: Even though you can get five extends through score, there are also some 1ups scattered across several levels in the game. You have to uncover these by hitting them enough times while the 1000s digit and the 100s digit in your score add up to 10.
Treaudo Bonus: In some areas you will see small skull tiles with facial expressions as they take damage, and sometimes there will be a lot of them in a stacked line formation of sorts. You will get an 80000 point bonus for destroying all Treaudo enemies in these formations. Note that some formations can "wrap" around the screen from one side to the other and you'll need to destroy everything on both sides of the screen to get the bonus.
Cleopatra: This item only appears once in stage 16 and can be shot for 2 MILLION points. Closer to the end of the stage, you will see one stray Delilah eyeball center screen, on the following ground platform the Cleopatra is hidden in the upper left most light green box that can be hit right before the Treaudo bonus lanes at the end of the stage.
Hidden Secrets Locations
Unlockable Secrets
Clearing normal mode/the first 16 stages of the game will give you access to Nightmare Mode, and finishing stage 32 in either mode will unlock the Secret Weapon Start option in set-up.
There are also several cheat codes you can input with a keyboard to enable various unlocks and cheats. Type out these codes without holding multiple keys and you should hear a chime upon successful activation. Playing with a cheat enabled will save any scores made, but will not properly save any replays.
SESUJIGAKOORITSUKU--> Nightmare Mode unlock shortcut (input at title/press start screen or main menu)
This is a code you can enter to unlock Nightmare Mode early without having to play through normal mode.
The following codes below will need to be re-entered each time you return to the main menu.
YOKUBARINAANATAHE--> Start with full power and both special weapons (input at main menu)
The next run will start you off at full power and both the Laser and Golden Finger Secret Weapons. This is the only way to start with Golden Finger 8-Way shot without finding it in a stage.
Both of these cheat codes do the same thing because in 1.00 Caesar and Noah were the only two playable characters and this is how players specifically chose which one to be invincible with. In 1.20 these codes were tweaked due to the two newer characters added, so players still have to highlight one of these characters and input the correct code and then pick any character afterward to get the invincibility effect.
NOAHCHOUMUTEKI while highlighting Noah
Invincibility for whoever you pick after.
CAESARCHOUMUTEKI while highlighting Caesar
Invincibility for whoever you pick after.
Version Differences
1.00: Initial Release, no Caravan Mode and Caesar and Noah only as playable characters.
1.11: Caravan Mode added
1.20: Final Star SS and Golden Humming added as new playable characters.
Trivia
While Soldier Force takes heavy inspiration from Hudson Soft's Star Soldier game, Hudson Soft actually had no involvement with the creation of this game and was likely responsible for the game's mysterious disappearance shortly after launch.
The game does not know how to properly handle boss timeouts in the Nightmare stages. The further a player gets, the more frequently B checkpoints start calling back to incorrect stage numbers. (i.e. Stage 32 boss timeout will show "Stage 16-B Start" when the checkpoint loads)

Foraging: A term used for “living off the land,” as well as plundering committed by soldiers.
Fortification: Something that makes a defensive position stronger, like high mounds of earth to protect cannon or spiky breastworks to slow an enemy charge.

They were simple and inexpensive to make in very large quantities. However, these crackers became almost rock solid once they went stale. See image»
Havelock: (pronounced hav-loc) A white cloth cover that went over a soldier’s kepi, and had a long back that covered a soldier’s neck and shoulders. Although it saw use in the early stages of the war, soldiers quickly learned that it cut off circulation around the head and face, leading to the eventual abandonment of the havelock.

It was invented by two Frenchmen, Henri-Gustave Delvigne and Claude-Étienne Minié (pronounced “min-ee-ay”). It was small enough to load quickly, and had a special feature that let it take advantage of a rifled-barrel. When the rifle-musket was fired, expanding gas from the gunpowder blast was caught in the hollow base of the bullet forcing it against the rifled grooves inside the barrel. See image »
Monitor: Originally, the U.S.S. Monitor, the first ironclad warship in the United States Navy, commanded by Admiral John L. Worden. The vessel had a large, round gun turret on top of a flat raft-like bottom, which caused some spectators to describe it as a “cheesebox on a raft.” The first engagement between ironclads occurred on March 8-9, 1862, at the Battle of Hampton Roads, VA, when the U.S.S. Monitor fought the C.S.S. Virginia (formerly the U.S.S. Merrimack). Eventually a “monitor” became the official term for an entire class of warships modeled after the original U.S.S. Monitor. See image »

Ordnance: The term used for military supplies, such as weaponry and ammunition.
P

Parrott gun: A rifled artillery piece with a reinforcing band at the rear, or breech. Parrott guns were used by both the Army and the Navy, and ranged from 10-pounders to 300-pounders. They were named after their designer, Robert Parker Parrott. See image »
“Peculiar Institution”: Another term for slavery in the South.
Percussion Arm: A musket or rifle-musket that requires a cap to fire. A tiny cap is placed on the gun so that when a trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes the cap. The chemical in the cap (fulminate of mercury) ignites and flame shoots into the chamber that holds the gunpowder. This ignites the powder and the blast shoots the bullet out of the barrel. (Percussion means striking—a drum is a percussion instrument and a gun that uses a hammer to strike a cap is a percussion arm.)
Picket: Soldiers posted on guard ahead of a main force. Pickets included about 40 or 50 men each. Several pickets would form a rough line in front of the main army's camp. In case of enemy attack, the pickets usually would have time to warn the rest of the force.
Pontoon Bridge: (pronounced pawn-TOON) A floating bridge which was constructed by anchoring a series of large, flat-bottomed boats across a waterway and then laying wooden planks across them. The planks (the “chess”) were anchored by side rails and then covered with a layer of soil to protect it and to dampen sounds. Pontoon bridges were extremely important to the outcome of several battles, including Fredericksburg. See image »

Rebel Yell: A high-pitched cry that Confederate soldiers would shout when attacking. First heard at First Manassas (First Bull Run) Union troops found the eerie noise unnerving.
Rebel: Loyal to the Confederate States. Also Southern or Confederate.
Reconstruction: A term used to describe the time in American history directly after the Civil War during which the South was “reconstructed” by the North after its loss in the war.
Recruits: The term used to describe new soldiers.
Redan: (pronounced ri-dan) A fortification with two parapets or low walls whose faces unite to form a salient angle towards the enemy. That is, they form a point that juts out past the rest of the defensive line of works.
Redoubt: (pronounced rih-dowt) An enclosed field work - without redans - which had several sides and was used to protect a garrison from attacks from several directions. While redoubts could be very useful, one key weakness was that each protruding angle was a salient. This meant that the redoubt would be susceptible to enfilading fire. A redoubt could also extend from a permanent fortress. See image »
Reinforcements: Troops sent to strengthen a fighting force by adding an additional number of fresh soldiers.
Regiment: The basic unit of the Civil War soldiers, usually made up of 1,000 to 1,500 men. Regiments were usually designated by state and number (as in 20th Maine). 1 company = 50 to 100 men, 10 companies = 1 regiment, about 4 regiments = 1 brigade, 2 to 5 brigades = 1 division, 2 or more divisions = 1 corps, 1 or more corps = 1 army. See image »

Reserve(s): Part(s) of the army which were withheld from fighting during a particular battle but ready and available to fight if necessary.
Revetment: A structure built to hold either natural or man-made embankments in position. Revetments could be made of items such as sandbags, fascines, gabions, brick, stone, and so on. See image »
Revolver: A handheld firearm with a chamber to hold multiple bullets (usually 6). The chamber turns so that each bullet can be fired in succession without reloading.
Revenue Cutter:This term applies to fast ships that were used to patrol the seas and Great Lakes to prevent smuggling and impose importation and custom fees. Revenue cutters would go on to become the United States Coast Guard.
Rifle-Musket: The common weapon of the Civil War infantryman, it was a firearm fired from the shoulder. It differed from a regular musket by the grooves (called rifling) cut into the inside of the barrel. When the exploding powder thrusts the bullet forward, the grooves in the barrel make it spin, just like a football spirals through the air. Rifle-muskets were more accurate and had a longer range than smoothbore weapons.
Rifle Pit: Similar to what soldiers call a “foxhole” today. Rifle pits were trenches with earth mounded up at the end as protection from enemy fire. A soldier lay in the trench and fired from a prone position.
Rifled: A gun barrel is rifled when it has grooves (called rifling) cut into the inside of the barrel for longer range and more accurate firing.
Rout: A crushing defeat where, often, the losers run from the field.
S
Salient: (pronounced SAY-lee-uhnt) A part of a defensive line of works or a fortification that juts out from the main line towards the enemy. Salients can be very vulnerable to because they may be attacked from multiple sides.
Salt Pork: Salt pork is a pork product similar to bacon that is made by curing pork bellies in salt. This curing process allowed the pork to last a very long time without the need for refrigeration. As a result, salt pork became a common food issued to soldiers by both the North and the South.
Sap Roller: A very large, bullet resistant gabion which was used to protect soldiers from enemy fire as they constructed trenches.
Scurvy: (pronounced SKUR-vee) A disease caused by lack of ascorbic acid (found in fresh fruits and vegetables). Its symptoms include spongy gums, loose teeth, and bleeding into the skin and mucous membranes.
Secession: (pronounced si-sesh-uhn ) Withdrawal from the Federal government of the United States. Southern states, feeling persecuted by the North, seceded by voting to separate from the Union. Southerners felt this was perfectly legal but Unionists saw it as rebellion. See Secession Acts of the Thirteen Confederate States »
Sectionalism: Promoting the interests of a section or region (such as the North or the South) instead of the entire country.
Sentry: (pronounced SEHN-tree) A soldier standing guard.
Shebangs: (pronounced sheh-bang) The crude shelters Civil War prisoners of war built to protect themselves from the sun and rain. See image »
Shoddy: Term for cheap, poorly made cloth which was used early in the war to make Federal uniforms. The cloth fell apart very quickly. Eventually “shoddy” became a term for inferior, poorly made items.
Shot: A solid, round projectile, shot from a cannon. See image »
Shell: A hollow projectile, shot from a cannon; a shell was filled with powder and lit by a fuse when it was fired. Shells exploded when their fuse burned down to the level of the powder. Depending on the length of the fuse, artillerymen could decide when they wanted the shell to burst.
Siege: (pronounced seej) Blocking the supply lines and escape routes of a city to force it to surrender. A siege usually meant one army trapped in a city, slowly running out of food and fresh water, with the opposing army camped outside. Famous sieges were held at Petersburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson.
Siege lines: Lines of works and fortifications that are built by both armies during a siege. The defenders build earthworks to strengthen their position inside a fort or city against assault while the besieging army constructs fortifications to protect siege guns and soldiers from sharpshooters inside the city.
Skirmish: A minor fight.
Slavery: A state of bondage in which African Americans (and some Native Americans) were owned by other people, usually white, and forced to labor on their behalf.
Smoothbore: A gun is smoothbore if the inside of the barrel is completely smooth. Smoothbore guns were used before rifled guns were developed. Although smoothbores were not as accurate and had a shorter range than rifled arms, there were still plenty of them in use during the Civil War.
Sortie: A type of counter-attack used to disrupt the enemy's attack or siege of a fortification, causing the enemy to divert some of its resources away from the initial attack or siege.
South: Also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States of America, or (by Northerners) the Rebel states, the South incorporated the states that seceded from the United States of America to form their own nation. Southern states were: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Spike: To make an artillery piece unusable so that it could not be used by the enemy if captured.
Standard: A flag or banner carried into battle on a pole.
States Rights: This doctrine held the powers of the individual states as greater than the powers of the Federal government. States rights meant that the Federal government held its power only through the consent of the states and that any powers not specifically given to the Federal government remained in control of the states. See the Declaration of the Causes of the Seceding States »
Stockade: A line of tall stout posts securely set either as a defense, to keep the enemy out, or as a pen to keep prisoners in. See image »
Surrender: To admit defeat and give up in the face of overwhelming odds. Most defeated generals were able to negotiate surrender terms. These might include items like parole instead of prison for the soldiers or letting officers keep their sidearms.
T
Territory: Land within the mainland boundaries of the country that had not yet become a state by 1861. Nevada Territory, Utah Territory, and Colorado Territory had basically the same boundaries they have today as states; Washington Territory encompassed today's states of Washington and Idaho; Dakota Territory is now the states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the northern part of Wyoming; Nebraska Territory today is the southern part of Wyoming and the state of Nebraska; New Mexico Territory included the states of Arizona and New Mexico; and the remaining unorganized land, also called the Indian Territory, filled the approximate boundaries of Oklahoma.
Theater: A theater of war is a region or area where fighting takes place.
Torpedoes: Today called mines, Civil War torpedoes were mostly used by the Confederates. Sometimes they were buried in the ground in the enemy's path to explode when stepped on. Mostly they were used as water defenses. They floated below the surface of the water and exploded when the hull of a ship brushed against them.
Torpedo Boats: Small submersible vessels with long wooden spars mounted on the bow for ramming enemy ships. Torpedoes were lashed to the tip of the spar to explode on impact.
Total War: A new way of conducting war appeared during the Civil War. Instead of focusing only on military targets, armies conducting total war destroyed homes and crops to demoralize and undermine the civilian base of the enemy’s war effort. (Sherman in Georgia or Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, for example.)
Traverse: A mound of earth used to protect gun positions from explosion or to defilade the inside of a field work or fortification. See image »
Typhoid: Bacterial disease causing fever, diarrhea, headache, enlargement of the spleen, and extreme physical exhaustion and collapse.
U
Union: Also called the North or the United States, the Union was the portion of the country that remained loyal to the Federal government during the Civil War. Union states were: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. West Virginia became a Northern state in 1863 and California and Oregon were also officially Northern but they had little direct involvement in the War.
U.S. Christian Commission: An organization established in 1861 for the relief of Union soldiers; the Christian Commission provided food, Bibles, and free writing materials to the soldiers to encourage them in good moral behavior. See image »
U.S.C.T.: United States Colored Troops. Federal Army regiments composed of African-American soldiers. The U.S.C.T.’s were established by General Order Number 143, issued May 22, 1863, and included infantry, cavalry and artillery regiments. While the soldiers themselves were African American, officers were white. Until 1864 African American soldiers received less pay than their white counterparts. The most famous USCT regiment is the 54th Massachusetts, composed of free Northern men. The 33rd USCT regiment, however, has the distinction of being the first federally authorized regiment. Composed of freed slaves, it was originally called the 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. See image »
U.S. Sanitary Commission: A government agency created on June 18, 1861, whose purpose was to coordinate female volunteers who were supporting the Federal army. These women collected over $25 million in donations from “Sanitary Fairs” and other fundraisers. The volunteers also made uniforms and bandages, worked as cooks, and nursed the sick and wounded. Leadership, however, was largely male. See image »
V
Vedette(or vidette): A mounted sentry stationed in advance of a picket line.
Volunteer: Someone who does something because they want to, not because they need to. Most Civil War soldiers, especially in the beginning of the War, were volunteers. Men joined the armies on both sides because they wanted to fight for their cause.
W
West Point: The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York was the military school for more than 1,000 officers in both the Union and Confederate armies—including Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant.
Whig Party: A political party generally against slavery and its expansion into the territories. The Whig party had basically been swallowed up by the Democrat and Republican parties by the time of the Civil War.
Works: Fortified structures designed to strengthen a position in battle. This includes earthworks, fieldworks, entrenchments, siege lines, etc.
Y
Yankee: A Northerner; someone loyal to the Federal government of the United States. Also, Union, Federal, or Northern.

] | 2020-05-25T11:53:08+00:00 | Star Soldier has intense action yet the repetitive gameplay means it isn’t compelling in the end. Play its far superior sequels and admire this from afar. | en | Classic-Games.net | https://www.classic-games.net/nes/star-soldier/ | Developer: Hudson Soft Publisher: Taxan Released: 1989 Genre: Shooter
The Star Soldier series was once an institution in Japan, with yearly installments to complement their shooting caravan competition. The fact that most of the games were good/bordering on fantastic also helped. But in the West it went largely unnoticed. It is kind of hard to stand out when your competition is Gradius and R-Type. That being said it is a damn sight better than crap like 1942 and Tiger Heli. While the series would truly come into its own on the Turbo Grafx-16 it had its start on the NES. Star Soldier is a decent game, only let down by its repetition and high difficulty.
The first thing you will notice in Star Soldier is its speed. For an early NES game it is fast. Enemies spawn relentlessly and the game throws around a lot of sprites with no slowdown. It is an impressive feat for such an understated game. Star Soldier was born from Tecmo’s Star Force and as such shares many of the same enemies and level elements. However even though the games are similar on the surface Star Soldier introduces features missing from that game that are common in other shooters.
Weapons are a bit light in Star Soldier. Power-ups increase your default shot twice. The first produces a triple shot, two in the front and one in the back. The next is multi-directional cannon which will go on to become a staple of the series. In addition you can find a shield that protects from multiple hits. The differences between weapons are slight but significant in gameplay terms the double shot has rapid fire and is ideal for destroying the end level star brains. The multi shot is better served during the levels as enemies spawn everywhere. It is a shame there aren’t more options as the game could have used them.
One of the most unique features in Star Soldier is diving underneath parts of the background. By ducking under the environment you can avoid all enemy attacks but cannot return fire. It is perfect for the more difficult sections of the game (which is most) but is finicky to invoke in practice. You can initiate it by the direction you approach an opening in the background. Most of the time it will happen by accident; a happy accident mind you, but still involuntary. It is an interesting mechanic and one that would have better served the game if its implementation were better.
As with most old school shooters the difficulty in Star Soldier is brutal. Right from the start the game is throwing enemy waves in rapid succession at a pace you would expect from the end game. It doesn’t let up either; in fact it only gets worse. Your weapon selection is poor in comparison which makes an already challenging game that much more difficult. Death sends you back to the beginning of the level which is a bitter pill to swallow but there is something even worse. If you do not defeat the end level boss in a set amount of time it gets away. Unfortunately you will have to replay the level and try again. With your meager weapon choices it is possible to repeat this process multiple times, especially toward the end. Most will give up, not just because it is tedious but due to the game’s structure.
What ruins Star Soldier is its repetition. Although the game is sixteen levels long by stage seven you have seen almost all it has to offer. The stages may shuffle their elements but they are still the same, merely palette swapped. Even the end level star brains are the same. Every fourth level they become bigger but that ends after stage eight. That means you still spend the back half of the game going through the motions, only it is more difficult. To an extent you can lobby the same criticism at Gradius and its Mothership but that game isn’t nearly as long as this. Sometimes less is more and that applies in this case.
In Closing
Star Soldier has a solid base but is only average overall due to its flaws. Star Soldier’s action is intense yet the repetitive gameplay means it isn’t compelling in the end. Play its far superior sequels and admire this from afar. | |||||

] | 2024-08-06T00:00:00 | Before politics, he was a schoolteacher, a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard and a state championship-winning football coach. | en | /etc/designs/news/clientlibs/css/images/favicon-latest/favicon.svg | https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2024/08/06/who-is-tim-walz-kamala-harris | Tim Walz, the two-term Democratic governor of Minnesota, has gone from relative obscurity to his partyâs nominee to be the next vice president of the United States on the strength of his resume and the effectiveness of his attacks on former President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
Before he entered politics in 2006, he was a schoolteacher, a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard, a state championship-winning football coach and the founder of the first gay-straight alliance at his high school in the 1990s.
Now, after six terms in Congress and amid his second term as governor of his state, Walz, 60, is joining Vice President Kamala Harris to be her top lieutenant in the fight to beat Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. If they win, Walz will be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Hereâs what you need to know about Walzâs life and career.
Growing up in rural Nebraska and joining the Army National Guard
Walz was born and raised in rural West Point, Neb., to Darlene Walz, who worked at a nursing home, and James Walz, a schoolteacher and administrator who died of lung cancer in 1984. He graduated from Butte High School in 1982, where he played football and basketball, earning accolades in the local paper for his achievements on the gridiron.
"My high school class was 24 people," Walz says in a Harris campaign video, quipping: "I was related to half of them."
The school housed kindergartners through 12th graders all in one building, Walz told Nebraskaâs Norfolk Daily News in 2006. During summers, he and the other students worked on farms.
"I did real well on standardized tests," he told the paper in 2006. "I was kind of a free spirit, maybe a little bit of the class clown."
After high school, at age 17, he joined the Army National Guard. He served for 24 years, ending his tenure as a command sergeant major in 2005. In 1989, he was named Nebraska Citizen-Soldier of the Year.
âMy dad â a Korean War era veteran, an educator and a cigarette smoker â died of lung cancer when I was a teenager, and my family struggled enormously to pay his outstanding medical bills,â Walz wrote in a 2022 op-ed. âWe were able to get by on Social Security survivor benefits and my mom's job in a nursing home. That experience led me to choose a career in public service, like my father.â
After his father died, Walz traveled around the country for a time, ending up in Jonesboro, Ark., where he worked in a factory that built tanning beds before ultimately returning to his home state.
Schoolteacher, football coach and a DUI
In 1989, Walz graduated from Chadron State College in Nebraska with a teaching degree paid for by the GI Bill and spent the next year teaching English and American history in southern China, returning to the country during subsequent summers to lead tours. He was part of the first contingent of government-sanctioned American educators to teach in China.
When he returned stateside, he began teaching high school geography in Alliance, Neb., where he met his fellow teacher and future wife Gwen Whipple. The pair would marry in 1994 and ultimately had two kids of their own, with the help of in vitro fertilization, Walz frequently notes.
"She would always say, 'Mr. Walz, you have the loudest voice I ever heard,' " Walz told the Norfolk Daily News in 2006, recalling his classes would sometimes disrupt her classes in the next room over.
The newlyweds honeymooned in China, along with 60 students, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported in 2018.
In 1993, Walz was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan âfor his service in the education, military, and small-business communities,â according to his 2017 campaign biography. But in 1995, at age 31, he pleaded guilty to reckless driving after being pulled over going 96 mph in a 55 mph zone and failing sobriety and breath tests. After the arrest, Walz stopped drinking alcohol (his favorite drink is now Diet Mountain Dew, a trait he shares with Vance), according to the Star-Tribune.
In 1996, Walz and his wife moved to her home state, Minnesota, where they would stay the rest of their lives. They both got jobs at Mankato West High School in a small city in the southern part of the state. Walz took on the defensive coordinator role for the schoolâs football team, helping lead them to a state championship in 1999.
âWe ran a 4-4 [defense] where we read guards. At the time I had really good athletes and good linebackers,â Walz recalled in a February interview with the liberal podcast Pod Save America. âLook, I did 24 years in the military, I was teaching and then I started running for Congressâ¦. People have told me this: ânah, [you won] 'cause you won that state championship.ââ
Also in 1999, Walz became the faculty advisor for his schoolâs first gay-straight alliance, just three years after Democratic President Bill Clinton signed a law banning federal recognition of same-sex marriage and at a time when Walzâs fellow soldiers could be discharged from the military on suspicion for being gay.
âIt really needed to be the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married," Walz told the Star-Tribune in 2018.
Getting his start in politics
Walz has long cited the GI Bill program that funded his education and the Social Security benefits his mother lived off of after his fatherâs death as why he was a Democrat, but he says he was never particularly interested in politics until the 2004 election. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Walz was deployed to Europe as part of Operation Enduring Freedom for seven months, according to Minnesota Public Radio.
Then, in August 2004, as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were raging, he took two of his students to see a President George W. Bush speech at a local quarry.
âI accompanied two students who wanted to hear the speech. When we arrived, one of my students was turned away because of a John Kerry sticker on his wallet,â Walz said on his campaign website. âWe were ordered to board a bus to take us away from the quarry. Though I was allowed to stay â after offensive questioning by a campaigner â the boys were told to leave. This was a teachable moment for them and for me. I decided that, if a command sergeant major could be harassed for wishing to hear his commander-in-chief, the political process was deeply broken.â
Walz told Congressional Quarterly after he was elected to Congress in 2006, he âprobablyâ would never have gotten involved in national politics had the incident at the quarry never occurred. Instead, he volunteered for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and became a local coordinator for the campaign.
He left the Army National Guard in 2005 and underwent a surgery to repair damage in his ear from the artillery he worked with when he served, according to medical records reported on by MPR in 2018. He then began campaigning for Congress. A young politician, recently elected to the Senate from Illinois, ended up campaigning for him in the homestretch of that election: Barack Obama.
Walz beat six-term Republican Rep. Gil Gutknecht in what NBC News described at the time as âan unexpectedly tough battleâ for the incumbent in a Republican-leaning, rural Minnesota district. The win for Walz made him the highest-ranking retired enlisted soldier ever to serve in Congress, according to his congressional biography.
"The greatest thing we have and the greatest opportunity we have was casting that ballot today,â Walz told MPR after his victory. âMany people have felt that doom and gloom over the past few years. We have been in a deep funk; we have been making bad decisions. But you know what, I have been saying it for months, there was nothing wrong with America that an election wouldn't fix."
The Minnesota schoolteacher would end up serving 12 years in Congress and rose to be the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Veteransâ Affairs Committee during his final term.
While in Congress, he was a reliable liberal vote while gaining a reputation for bipartisanship while working on veterans issues and agriculture policy.
Governor of Minnesota
In 2018, Walz left Congress to run for governor of Minnesota after the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Mark Dayton, declined to run for a third term. Firmly in the Trump-era of U.S. politics, Walz beat the Trump-endorsed Republican Jeff Johnson, a county commissioner in the state and the GOPâs 2014 nominee for governor.
Walz won by nearly 12 percentage points, alongside his running mate Peggy Flanagan. Flanagan, the stateâs attorney general and a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, would become the first Native American woman to serve as a stateâs governor if Walz were to leave for Washington in January.
In 2020, Walz saw some of the most volatile protests in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in Minneapolis. The day after the killing, Walz described the âlack of humanityâ in the video of Floyds death âdisturbingâ and âsickeningâ and eventually called a special session of the legislature to work on police reform bills, which he signed into law within weeks of Floydâs killing.
But protests and rioting in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area captured the nationâs attention, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and resulting in the police station where some of the police officers involved in Floydâs death worked being burned to the ground. At least two people died in the rioting. Walz called in thousands of National Guard troops to bring the riots to an end. This year, as he was being considered by Harris to be her running mate, a spokesperson for Walz told the New York Times that it was âa tragic time for our state and our countryâ and that âGovernor Walz took action and deployed the National Guard to keep our city safe.â
Walz won a second term in 2022, beating a Republican legislator Scott Jensen, known for his false claims and conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic. While Walz won by a smaller margin than he did in 2018, he returned to Saint Paul with Democratic-control of both houses of the state legislature, enabling a much more legislatively active second term.
Selling Walz as a progressive champion, the Harris campaign boasted on Tuesday that he âhas done more to help middle class families get ahead than any other statewide leader in recent memory.â Itâs a claim that holds some water and one that Trump and Republicans are pushing back on, labeling Walz a âradical leftistâ and âa dangerously liberal extremist.â
Through his nearly five years in office, he instituted universal free school lunches, signed a law mandating 20 weeks of paid family and medical leave for workers, signed abortion protections in the aftermath of the end of Roe v. Wade, legalized recreational marijuana, set a goal that Minnesota would rely on 100% renewable electricity by 2040, signed a law that will allow 16 and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote for when they turn 18, funded a child tax credit for low-income families and raised taxes on investment income for the wealthy, set aside billions for local infrastructure improvements and signed a law allowing undocumented immigrants get driverâs licenses.
âItâs no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate â Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State,â Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued in a statement. âFrom proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading Californiaâs dangerously liberal agenda far and wide.â
âIf Walz wonât tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every Americanâs nightmare," Leavitt argued.
Walz sells his progressive platforms a tad differently than the Trump campaign has tried to frame them.
âYou know, I'm a horrible progressive, because our children eat breakfast and lunch in school,â Walz joked on a âPod Save Americaâ episode last month. âWe just got to embrace the things that make this country great.â | |||

More than 250 civilians have completed primary military training at the Kharkiv regional institution of national resistance.
About 400 people are currently doing the course.
"I need to complete this training not only as a teacher of the 'defence of Ukraine' subject, I also need this as a classroom teacher who lives in such a dangerous time," Nadiia Mokliak, a school teacher, said.
"If I need to write an essay on 'How did you spend your summer?', I would write a very interesting essay."
The head of the institution, Oleksandr Zalivan, says that in four months, more 250 civilians completed their training at the institution.
"All these preparations are essential because sudden explosions can occur in our infrastructure and populated areas. At any moment, anyone might find themselves in a situation where they need to provide assistance to themselves or to someone nearby," Sulivan said.
The course is available for all adult men and women under the age of 60, regardless of their profession. | ||||

Here is a Turbografx 16 ‘classic’: Super Star Soldier. Does this game stand the test of time? Is it still fun to play today? And more important of all, will it earn the Malstrom Award, the most highly sought after award in all of gaming?
Above: Gameplay of Super Star Soldier
Super Star Soldier is the first of the Star Soldier Trilogy by Hudson. After the success of Blazing Lazers which was made by both Compile and Hudson, Hudson made Super Star Soldier. It is also a type of ‘official sequel’ to the Hudson NES game of ‘Star Soldier. The other two games following Super Star Soldier in the trilogy is Final Soldier and Soldier Blade.
Above: Classic Game Room raves but struggles to say anything specific about the game.
Super Star Soldier is a very generic top down shmup. Sometimes you only come back immediately if you die, otherwise you start at a checkpoint. One hit doesn’t kill unless it is a large laser beam or obstacle. The hit just downgrades your weapons. Speed is determined by three settings chosen by select so there are no speed upgrades. You choose whatever speed you want.
There are two versions of quality to place Super Star Soldier, two alternate universes. Since Final Blade and Soldier Blade, the following two shmups in the trilogy, and Blazing Lazers, an unofficial type of pre-quel is legendary, there is much effort and thinking that Super Star Soldier is a ‘fantastic shooter’ and ‘one of the most excellent shmups ever made’. The other view is that Super Star Soldier is spiritually the same as its official predecessor on the NES, Star Soldier, in that it is extremely generic but solid, solid, solid on the gameplay.
I fall into the latter camp. I think the ‘praise’ on Super Star Soldier is unwarranted and is nothing more than the bandwagon effect and of people wanting this game to be good because the other three games in this series are good. This game is extraordinarily generic. It rips from every other shmup at this time. It has the fire loops from Salamander including the ‘narrowing escape’ from Salamander too. The soundtrack, aside from the first track, is nothing to write home about. The challenge is inconsistent. The game feels like it has no identity, no personality. This is the hallmark of being generic.
This game is a generic soup of shmups with no identity of its own. It’s only saving grace is that the gameplay mechanics are super solid. This is what makes people to think this is a great game. But is it? You’ll find many people tell these video reviewers raving about the game that ‘I don’t like playing this shmup. I prefer this other shmup much more.’
The challenge is so off that even die-hard Turbo fans have trouble finishing the game. I remember talking to the Hudson guy responsible for getting the Turbografx 16 games onto the Wii’s Virtual Console that he wanted to ‘finally finish this game’ as he never could do so.
Above: Even the Turbo Views reviewer had problems finishing this game which he has been playing since it came out!
I have an annoyance in this game that playing it makes it sound like I am making popcorn. I call stage one the popcorn stage because all the little enemies pop sound like popcorn. The more I play this game, the more annoyed I am at its generic quality. Solid gameplay isn’t enough, I need originality. This game lacks originality, lacks personality, and becomes less fun the more you play.
One major plus side is that this game has a caravan mode of 5 minutes and 2 minutes where you just go and get a high score. So there is another way to play the game. But seeing that the only differentiation between this shmups and others is the challenge, it is hard to recommend this game. You can get your challenge fix from other, more interesting, shmups. | ||

] | 2024-08-07T14:57:16+00:00 | While we still don't know what's going on with the "Rebel Moon" franchise, we know Netflix is moving on from "Army of the Dead." | en | The Playlist | https://theplaylist.net/zack-snyders-army-of-the-dead-sequels-animated-series-plans-have-been-canceled-by-netflix-20240807/ | With all the pageantry on display for the release of the two “Rebel Moon” films (and their respective director’s cuts), there’s been a distinct lack of discussion around filmmaker Zack Snyder’s other Netflix franchise, “Army of the Dead.” Well, apparently, that’s for a good reason.
In a recent interview with The Wrap, it has been confirmed that the planned expansion of the “Army of the Dead” franchise, which would include new films and an animated series, have been quietly canceled over at Netflix.

When asked about that, Zack Snyder replied, “We are very ambitious with everything.”
He’s definitely not wrong. When “Army of the Dead” was released, they quickly moved forward with the franchise, releasing a spinoff film, “Army of Thieves.” From there, more films and an animated series were all teased by Snyder and the folks involved. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the plug is pulled on the franchise. The only thing “Army of the Dead”-related in the works is a themed experience coming to Six Flags this Halloween.

Again, it’s unclear why the “Army of the Dead” franchise has been canceled. When the first film was released, Netflix raved about how many people watched it. The same thing happened when the first “Rebel Moon” film was released late last year. So, if people are watching these things, why does Netflix not want to expand it? And if “Rebel Moon” was watched by millions of people, why does it feel like Netflix is quietly canceling that too? Obviously, there are more things to take into consideration when greenlighting a sequel than just viewership of the original.
However, it doesn’t paint a very confident picture about what might happen to “Rebel Moon” in the future. The new Snyder sci-fi epic films both received pretty terrible reviews, both from critics and regular viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. So, if “Army of the Dead” can’t survive, it doesn’t leave much hope for “Rebel Moon.” But that’s just pure speculation.
You can watch the “Rebel Moon” director’s cuts now on Netflix. | |||||

RUNNING BOY : THE SECRET OF STAR SOLDIER (ランニングボーイ スター・ソルジャーの秘密) is an original anime film created by FILMING INTERNATIONAL for HUDSON SOFT.
RUNNING BOY was released in 07/20/1986 during the notorious「FAMICOM BOOM」period as a promotional for both the FAMICOM and for HUDSON's latest hit game「STAR SOLDIER」which had been released a month earlier.
■THE SECRET OF RUNNING BOY !
In 1984 HUDSON SOFT were the first ones to support the NINTENDO FAMICOM. Just two years later however, the FAMICOM had already become the most popular and successful video game system in history, and as all of you can imagine, by that time pretty much all of the non-rival (and even those!) software companies around wanted a piece of that cake.
It goes without saying that competition was fierce at this time, so game companies both big and small were constantly arranging all manners of promotional activities in order to win the hearts of the rapidly growing number of video game fans - most of which were children at the time.
From 1985-1998 a couple HUDSON Caravans toured Japan once a year setting up all kinds of cool video game-related events along the way to promote the company and their games.
These on-the-road shows were exceptionally well organized and quickly gained nationwide recognition. The massive Caravan Tournaments for example, became the stuff of legends since the participants knew that winning one of those could make them famous in the eyes of their fellow gamers all across the country.
So it was during these exciting times when video games were still an uncharted frontier that RUNNING BOY : THE SECRET OF STAR SOLDIER was released and also takes place.
■STORY
GENTA SASAYAMA is an enthusiastic 6th grader who loves anything FAMICOM and dreams of one day becoming a game programmer. After a small series of events, GENTA becomes acquainted with HUSON SOFT's genius programmer NOMOTO who previously had been working on his company's ultimate shooting game project「STAR SOLDIER」but now was suffering from a severe case of programmer's block.
Fortunately GENTA's contagious passion for video games quickly manages to get NOMOTO out of his creative slump, and in return NOMOTO takes GENTA to the HUSON building in Tokyo so he can help out in putting the project back on track.
But while things had been working wonderfully for GENTA on this end, back at his school none of his classmates would believe anything of what had been happening.
To make matters worse, the notebook containing all of his original game ideas got stolen by his rival gamer HIDEKI who used it to win the「Game Idea」contest of the popular CoroCoro Comic Magazine (the same magazine where HUDSON unveiled STAR SOLDIER for the first time, by the way). Furious, GENTA confronts HIDEKI over the theft, but only to be called a fraud in front of everybody...
Later that night HIDEKI confronts GENTA once again, and after a heated argument, they both agree to have a definitive showdown match to finally settle once and for all who's the best gamer in town.
So after gathering their friends, the gang sneaks in the HUSON building and into the STAR SOLDIER virtual simulator unit「HONEY COMB」where their duel will take place inside the game.
■MAIN CHARACTERS
【 GENTA 】
GENTA is a die-hard FAMICON fan although since he comes from a poor working-class family he doesn't own one himself.
Still, Genta keeps his game skills in shape playing a BOMBERMAN handheld game that he shares with her little sister.
GENTA wishes to become a game programmer in the future, and to this end he's already started to work on his very first programmer's notebook.
Unfortunately, his constant day dreaming of game ideas often gets him in trouble at school.
【 MAKIBA 】
GENTA's ever-supportive girl friend. She really doesn't do much throughout most of the film other than following GENTA around.
That is until near the end where she...
【 HIDEKI 】
HIDEKI is GENTA's classmate turned rival turned best friend.
He is an expert player who's just won his local TDK FAMICOM Caravan Tournament. However, in spite of being a skilled player and coming from an upper-class family.
HIDEKI is very resentful and even jealous of GENTA who seems to be happier just playing video games.
GENTA doesn't think of HIDEKI as a rival though, and even goes to his house to show him some of the game concepts he's been working on. HIDEKI however, sabotages GENTA by stealing his ideas and using them to win a popular Game Idea contest.
【 NOMOTO 】
The genius game programmer behind the hit game「STAR FIGHTER」(most likely a pun at「STAR FORCE」which is considered the spiritual predecessor of the STAR SOLDIER series). NOMOTO had been working in the development of the「Ultimate Shooting Game」, but now a creativity slump has him in the dumps.
It would seem that being a renown programmer and having a sexy wife in spite of being an obvious geek is not enough for NOMOTO who's being a jerk towards everyone around him, and that includes his close friend and fellow HUSON staffer TAKAHASHI MEIJIN to whom he engages in a good old buddy fist fight when he tried to put some sense into him.
【 TAKAHASHI MEIJIN 】
HUSON's most famous and recognizable face!
By 1986 TAKAHASHI MEIJIN had already become famous for his notorious finger speed of 16 shots per second, which of course earned him the nickname of「16-SHOT」.
RUNNING BOY actually takes place during the peak of TAKAHASHI's popularity, when his skill at playing STAR SOLDIER was impressing the children all across Japan.
Also, something interesting is that while TAKAHASHI doesn't voice himself in the film, he actually sings the opening and ending themes.
【 THE PRESIDENT 】
HUSON's head honcho. The President is basically the guy that makes things happen.
He seems to approve of「unorthodox」programming techniques, and among other things, he has OK'd the creation and usage of an advanced V.R. unit called the「HONEY COMB」in order to create the ultimate shooting game.
■WATCH IT ALREADY !
Well, the good news is that a YouTube user has uploaded the entire VHS film in 6 parts, so those interested on it can watch it. The bad news is that since the videos were uploaded by a Japanese user, they of course lack any subtitles. Fortunately, the story is simple and straightfoward enough that it's very easy to follow even for those who don't speak Japanese.
The videos themselves don't have that many views in spite of having been uploaded more than a year ago. This is very strange considering the FAMICOM still has the biggest Japanese fanbase of any retro game system. I can only assume that not a lot of people know about the film.
■GAME KING : TAKAHASHI MEIJIN VS MOURI MEIJIN FINAL CLASH !
RUNNING BOY was screened at the same time than the legendary GAME KING showdown match between the game celebrities of the time TAKAHASHI MEIJIN and MOURI MEIJIN. For those interested, here's the final of their series of STAR SOLDIER Score Attack matches.
■CLOSING COMMENTS
Personally, I was never a FAMICOM fan. And while I think that STAR SOLDIER was a decent-enough shooting game for its time (I own the MSX version of it) - the game is certainly far from being as great as HUDSON managed to pass it on back then.
Still, I really like RUNNING BOY : THE SECRET OF STAR SOLDIER because it's a honest film that does a terrific job at depicting the wonderful game spirit of the mid '80s, specially among the children that were growing up at the time. This was indeed the time where the core shooting genre was still one of the dominant genres of gaming, and not just a niche genre for a select few that stopped being innovative a long time ago, like it's the case today.
Obviously the point of the film was to make more kids play the FAMICOM and STAR SOLDIER. Yet the film manages to get its message around without shoving anything down your throat.
Ultimately, RUNNING BOY is a film about how a bunch of friends overcome their problems and differences through the magic of video games. How could anyone not like it?
If you consider yourselves even remotely fans of either the FAMICOM, HUDSON, or just shooting games in general - RUNNING BOY is a must watch for you.

The player pilots the starship "Caesar", travelling through space stations occupied by powerful supercomputers known as "Starbrains" who threaten the galactic empire. Star Soldier greatly resembles the earlier arcade game Star Force.
Mobile versions were released on January 26, 2001, in Japan as Star Soldier Special+ in 2004, Star Soldier SP Arcade in 2005 and Star Soldier Fukkoku-Ban (スターソルジャー 復刻版 Sutāsorujā fukkoku-ban) in 2008, they were also released for Palm OS on November 2001 in Japan and iOS on January 4, 2012 in United States.
Star Soldier has spawned numerous sequels, starting with Super Star Soldier on the PC Engine. It was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2004 in Japan as part of the Famicom Mini series, and to the Wii's Virtual Console in the Japanese and North American regions in July 2007. An enhanced remake of the game was released on PlayStation Portable only in Japan in 2005.
The game was re-released by Konami on 3DS Virtual Console on November 14, 2012 in Japan, August 15, 2013 in PAL Version and September 24, 2013 in North America, and the iOS Version, titled Star Soldier for GREE (スターソルジャー for GREE Sutāsorujā for GREE) on June 20, 2013 in Japan. A NES version was released for Nintendo Switch Online on April 10, 2019 in Japan and North America.
Story[]
A strange and evil presence is lurking in space. Crushing Everything in its path, destroying spaceships full of innocent people, the fearsome Starbrain is threatening the entire Galactic Empire. Starbrain, a giant computer programmed only for destruction, inhabits an enormous space station, guarded by enemy ships and robot creatures. To penetrate the station is a job for the most skillful and experienced Star Soldier: you! You'll be piloting Caesar, the fastest fighter ship in the Galactic Fleet, with an awesome arsenal of weapons at your fingertips. Only you can end the brutal Starbrain's spree of destruction, and restore peace to the galaxy!
Gameplay[]
Star Soldier's game play is very similar to its predecessor Star Force, with the player having to to fend off flying enemies and hit ground targets for extra points. Players control the Caesar, which can be upgraded to fire in five directions simultaneously.
Stages have features known as "Trap Zones", where the player can dive in the background and become protected against enemy bullets and collisions but be unable to shoot as well. The game consists of 16 stages, with a boss at the end of each. If the player fails to defeat the boss in time, it will be taken back to the midway checkpoint in the stage and be forced to play the second half of the stage again.
