You should have been playing this in the spooky barn. It seems to be trying your sanity far more than Silent Hill.

Watching other videos of this on youtube and I am sitting here going "wait, did the Mac people just have access to better technology or something?" because the music, sound effects AND the voice all sounded better. It's hard to really describe because I couldn't find any other videos on youtube that used the version I grew up with but I swear that I am not misremembering due to nostalgia or anything, I really do remember Mario Teaches Typing looking and sounding a lot better than what I am seeing. I would record myself but that Mac I played on died a long time ago and the only way I could record with it would be with a camera regardless so really I am just rambling

You must have missed the legions of comments in the thread about how they picked PC Speaker instead of a Soundblaster - it would be like trying to play the full music and all the sound effects at the same time on a single-string guitar with only one finger to pluck the string and one to fret the notes. (I clarify because I've heard people do some amazing things with strings that shouldn't be physically possible, and I can just imagine someone double-fretting a string to play three notes at a time somehow. The PC speaker could barely play one note at a time on a good day.)

So did Keith just guess that Sound Blaster was the best of those options, or...? I have no idea about ancient hardware, how do some of those devices measure up?

Oh no I didn't miss those, what I am saying is that the DOS version just doesn't sounds as polished (when the settings are correct) as the version I played growing up on a Macintosh. This wouldn't be the first time that I have come across other games that look and sound different between a PC and a Macintosh version, I discovered the same thing with the original Prince of Persia

When the game started demanding you type random strings of four symbols like "#%$@" alongside question words like "Why?" I think it was trying to tell you that you are doing a bad thing by continuing to play this game. If a children's typing game cusses you out and asks you why you're doing this it might be time to quit.

At least with Mario Teaches Typing you rarely hear the music due to the various bleeps and bloops. Sonic Advance 2 has those awful cymbal springs AND terrible music.

Blenheim posted:Man, this game does sound different on other sound settings. We missed out on Interplay's answer to Charles Martinet going "On your mark; get set; GO!" (It's in the first minute of the video; later on, watch out for BIG SPOILERS for later levels.) I'm not sure if this is what everyone is talking about with how the game sounded on SoundBlaster/Mac/etc., but it certainly sounds better. (Okay, the sound of the blocks breaking is still obnoxious.)

I had this game as a kid, but we had the sound settings screwed up somehow, because the voice clip at the beginning came out as a high-pitched WELCOMETOMARIOTEACHESTYPING!!! that scared the crap out of me. Also, I must've thought this game was basically the same thing as Super Mario World and that being so close to a koopa was about to get me killed, because I found the game itself too stressful to play much. Good thing I never made it to the symbols section!

After "Nope"'ing out of the second video when I heard that the PC speaker gobbledygook continued into it, I have to say: Intoxication of some form. PC Speaker sound this bad should never have been in the game, I have no idea why they bothered with it. Also, am I the only one who hears notes from the Monty Python Lumberjack song in, at least the "Teaches Typing" version of the SMW theme?

The 'pause not pausing' thing probably comes from the game using the system clock to determine how much time has passed, and having no protection for large time changes between two frames.

Not that it answers the question, since I'm not sure it even has an answer, but at least phrasing it properly. And yes, he'll drown if you make too many mistakes or take too long to get through the sentences.

Can I just say that is the most terrifying Mario cosplay picture I've ever seen? It's like Michael Myers decided to go for the Mario mask instead of William Shatner. Look at all those photographs. Look at that loving pumpkin. All those people are dead because of this game, and its crying shrieks of the banshees beyond do nothing but bring sorrow upon both the living and the dead. Also, happy Pearl Harbour Rememberance Day everyone. Very interesting way to observe the day guys, did not expect that. FinalGamer fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Dec 7, 2013 |
