the full book in pdf is linked on the page for free , it’s very much worth the price for a paper coppy however.
the blog is also a treasure trove of techincal details for various games :)

i think that honour might go to total annihilation.
i also remember the final fantasies on the psx having an orchestral pieces jn their soundtrack, but those might have not been performed by an actual orchestra originally.
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 1 day ago:
a more tech oriented book about doom.
great read for anyone who is into programming.

shadow of the colossus seems like a great game, but i’ve never heard its music referenced as pioneer work, what did it different in that department?
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 1 day ago:
oh, absolutely, rogue and nethack, they are the foundation of crpgs and dungeon crawlers.
i just fear we’d need increased security to break up the fight between groups with various definitions what ‘roguelike’ means.

Kerbal Space Program is awesome :)
Videogames are still a young medium, very diverse and changing so rapidly, that i feel like there is no established canon of ‘classics’ or ‘high impact’ works. We’ll probably end up with dozens of lists like this in such a topic, and might end up without a single game that made it onto all of them, besides tetris.
if a simmiliar question was asked in a movies community i’d bet any list with more than 10 entries would include metropolis, nosferatu, citizen kane and star wars, just because those are widely agreed upon movies that had an impact.

the last prince of persia Meschner directly worked on was Sands of Time, which is imho well worth playing.
the other 3d Prince of Persias by ubisoft upto two thrones are still good games, but they lost a bit of the 1001 nights feel. The darker parts where there in sands of time, but warrior within goes all in on dark and edgy and just loses a bit of that timeless flair and is very much a mid 2000s game.
can’t talk about ubisofts prince output after two thrones, they never found their way into my collection.

the game in the screenshot is Elden Ring.

-
tetris, because it is tetris
-
pong, and probaly other examples of early home console games
-
wolfenstein3d, doom, quake, quake3, doom3 because all of them were technical milestones, had lasting impact on the industry and they show the rapid advancement of pc gaming in the 90s and 2000s
-
the elder scrolls series, as a simmiliar showcase.
-
final fantasy 1, 6 and 7, as a showcase of jrpgs through various generations and the fmv of 7 and onwards were imho precursors of 3d rendered movies.
-
half-life, because of the impact of it’s scripted set pieces and its level design
-
counter-strike and starcraft, as the games that probably gave us professional e-sport.
-
dota, because its for mobas what doom is for first person shooters.
-
deus ex and thief, pioneered the “immersive sim” and they are great showcases of the interactive nature of games
-
Pokémon, cultural impact can’t be denied and the trading aspect is a great example of a non traditional multiplayer experience
-
various Mario Games, but definitely Mario Bros. Super Mario World and Mario 64 and probably Galaxy as a showcase of the evolution of plattformers in 2d and 3d, maybe throw a spyro or banjo kazooie in there.
-
Grim Fandango, Kings Quest, Monkey Island, point and click adventures are there very own beast and often feature actual memorable characters. I definitely think more often about Manny Calavera than i do about Gordon Freeman or any Morrowind NPC, even though i played half-life and Morrowind much more than Grim Fandango
-
Minecraft
-
super meat boy, fez, hollow knight… lots of interesting indie games and they show how much more accessible game development has become.
-
Prince of Persia and karateka, the way they were animated alone would be enough, but they also featured an actual story, they were interested in showing and featured music used simmiliar to a movies soundtrack.
-
probably much more
-
games that are a product of a very localized culture (gothic could not have been made anywhere else but the ruhrarea for example)
-
the whole military complex is missing (from Mil Sims like Operation Flashpoint to actual recruitment vehicles like Americas Army)
-
more modern games, which i just don’t know or that have not been rattling around in my brain for long enough, but baldurs gate 3, the last of us, or alan wake would probably end up on my list in a couple of years.

- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
codifying in law that your customers must be able to run a server for your game, when you stop running them has the consequence, that you’ll have to buy licenses that allow you to give binaries or code for those things to your customers. every middleware or library that does not allow that won’t be a viable product anymore. It’s not more dev work, it will change how licensing in game development for middleware and such will be done.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
lots of licensed or bought code in development in general, but knowing that you’ll have to provide code to the public eventually, means that you’ll have to take this into consideration when starting a project.
- Comment on Kevin Smith says he's cracked the story for the Dogma sequel 1 month ago:
Christianity in general and catholicism especially has enough weirdness in its believes and systemic problems to produce hundred dogma movies and none would be to have a sequel in a literal sense.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 2 months ago:
you can queue with a single friend, you’ll just get another random player. which is not ideal, but probably not back breaking either, unless there is some stupid way to grief other players.
some of the steam reviews made me think that i literally can’t queue with a friend unless we are three people.
- Comment on Game media preservation, where? 2 months ago:
archive.org has old media of all sorts including game magazines, demos trailers and manuals.
a lot of video material has been uploaded to youtube, that was formerly hosted elsewhere. hell i’ve watched the old eoLithic frag movie from like 2002 a week ago.
vimm’s lair is also worth a visit if your are looking for old game manuals.
- Comment on Marvel Cosmic Invasion official announcement trailer, beat 'em up game from the makers of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge 4 months ago:
Shredder’s Revenge was a lot of fun, if this has local coop i’ll buy it on release and visit my brother to punch some dudes :)
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 5 months ago:
yep, story is so-so, but gameplay wise it is the best pokemon i’ve played.
gyms, league and some story fights where actually tough and required bringing different pokemons without being unfair, the port of newer mechanics like raid dens and special evolutions are well done…
i should try the pokemon randomizer mode :D
- Comment on Heroes of Hammerwatch II Launch Trailer 6 months ago:
very different games, hammerwatch is more like gauntlet with no meta progression and HoH is more of an action rpg (think diablo) with meta progression between runs like other roguelites have it.
- Comment on Got any good strategy game recommendations? 6 months ago:
- songs of conquest, homm inspired
- midnight suns, good turnbased battles with marvel heroes
- wartales, a bit like xcom in the middle ages
- phoenix point, xcom with serial numbers filed of.
- obligatory “battle for wesnoth”-plug, but i enjoyed that less than any of the above.
- Comment on Project Zomboid - Build 42 Unstable Released 7 months ago:
or from the guy who barely “survived” a zombie attack who turned right next to you while you were afk because the door bell rang.
i never was that guy, i swere!
- Comment on 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' To Best 'Mufasa' at U.S. Box Office, But Disney Pic Eyes $180M Global Opening 7 months ago:
they are actually fun movies, Carreys Robotnik is hillarious.
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 8 months ago:
for that it would have to be priced somewhere in the ball park of the steam deck and offer more compute power than that. i don’t see this from sony, i expect either a very expensive device marketed as as “premium” handheld or an iteration on their PlayStation Portal(?) streaming handheld.
- Comment on From Deadpool and Wolverine to Dune: Part Two, all 10 of the highest-grossing movies of 2024 are sequels – and it's the first time that's happened in at least 50 years 8 months ago:
first one is ok for a rainy sunday, i know nothing about the second other than that it exists.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Uplifting Games 9 months ago:
“previous entries” are previous entries in the discussion thread series.
but atleast for doom 1, 2 and 2016 i can say that the ost gets me pumped, so there is that :D
- Comment on A first look at Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt in The Electric State. Directed by the Russo Brothers. Coming 2025. 9 months ago:
I like the how the Robots look and Millie Bobby Brown was good in everything i saw her in, so i am carefully optimistic that this will be a fun watch.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 10 months ago:
subscribers and something called bits of which i dont know the purpose.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 10 months ago:
the touchpads atleast feel like the ones on the steam controller.
flickstick is a control scheme where your stick only controls the camera horizontaly, so if you push the stick down you’ll spin 180° if you push it to the right you’ll turn until your character faces to the right and so forth.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 10 months ago:
deck is mostly more input options (right stick, d-pad, 4 back buttons instead of 2).
the biggest difference is the placement of the touchpads imho, as i cant use both shoulder buttons and the touchpad on a side without adjusting my grip, but that only mattered in shooters for which i use flickstick on the deck and not the right touchpad.

Nope, ice cream company.
- Comment on What is up with all the German posts about pizza today? 1 year ago:
various communities on feddit.de have a pinned post on it
e.g.: c/dach
- Comment on What is up with all the German posts about pizza today? 1 year ago:
germany has an official repeating two week long meal plan which allways ends with pizza day. not adhering to the official plan is considered a crime and could be punished with two years in jail, a fine of 200 000 € or in especially bad cases with the revocation of ones drivers license.
nah, apparently the user works on sundays and get pizza at their workplace, but not today.
