Those space suits look very 2001 to me. When did that come out again...? 1968. So that's certainly more in line with the time frame than Mr 80's hair who didn't begin his career until 1975. Other than that, I can't begin to figure out how that name would show up now. Perhaps the Flux Inducer is supposed to be a Flux Capacitor?

Tang first became associated with the Space Program after John Glenn was given the stuff to drink on his Gemini flight, and it became popularized for that. So I'm glad to see H.A.R.M keeping with the tradition!

They're just color coded! Surprised HARM didn't do the same. Would you prefer mercury/gemini silver?   Certainly fancier than what NASA had in the mid 60s.

Scruffy's bit about "Why would you leave the codebreaker behind? It's only ever done its best" feels like something out of Undertale. The good news is that in this game, That One Level is followed up by an extremely cool one!

Well, I just blew through this whole thread in one sitting pretty much. Yes, I have a lot of free time. Always heard a lot of good things about this game, but never got to play it myself. Sad to hear about its impossible legal status, I can see it really is the kind of classic that would deserve to be revitalised by a digital release. The dialogue really is top notch, both the incidental stuff and the cutscenes. Obviously a very smart game, in a lot of ways. Thread bookmarked, eagerly looking forward to the rest.

I find it odd that you shoot a guy with a poison arrow walk over and rip it out of his person and poof still has poison on it. I wonder if it was a software limitation or they just didn't think about having it switch to a regular bolt when you reacquire it.

Considering what happens when you get poisoned I suspect some animal bones and saliva being involved somehow.

When the bolt is removed, it now has bits of poison-coated flesh and smeared blood on the head. Also, this level was always my favorite as a kid.

You can select the laser gun as a starting weapon on any mission now. Most amusing, and it doesn't leave bodies behind.

Yeah, though it's not a quiet weapon, not leaving bodies behind also means cameras don't trigger from people you shoot with it. It's also hilarious because they freeze in midair when vaporizing.

anilEhilated posted:I still maintain this is a better space level than the moon base in TNO. Well why wouldn't they put up signs? It's already a HARM base so they're not expecting visitors, and it's only efficient to help lost workers back to their designated Top Secret Lab. It would be rude not to, and it's not like they can put up coloured guide lines to follow - that would ruin their aesthetic. However, this level only has one space gun, whereas TNO has multiple, so TNO's Nazi Moon Base (gently caress You Moon) is better.

WFGuy posted:However, this level only has one space gun, whereas TNO has multiple, so TNO's Nazi Moon Base (gently caress You Moon) is better. Not so! You can actually get the minions' unique red laser to complement your blue laser if you use some stealthy karate. It's not as good as the blue laser and it actually leaves bodies behind, but it's got a really neat animation and makes awesome PEW PEW noises. The big downside to the blue laser actually is the time it takes for bodies to fade away. Until they leave this plane of existence, they still absorb shots, making it hard to plug their buddies behind them. e: Also, I'm not sure that I like the morbid implication that the HARM employees brought their kids onboard, what with the disaster of Space Station 13 proportions that takes place.

Since we don't see any kids at all I think it's likely some rear end in a top hat made a playground, put up a "for kids only" sign and forgot that nobody has any kids up here! That sounds like HARM levels of incompetence. Who do I hope made it out? The couple doing inventory.

This was one of my favorite levels too back when I had this game (wish I still did). The dialogue and how well it played into the level's events was awesome (last nookie, "this place is a deathtrap", Chekhov's meteor shower, "I'm going to slap you, cowboy!", it was all great). The laser combat was also cool. Just something about getting to shoot a laser, I guess.  "Ground control to Agent Cate." RIP David Bowie. You shall be missed. Alan Rickman also- I mentioned one of his most memorable roles in this thread earlier and today he has passed on.  Happy Trails, Hans. By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, we must cure cancer and avenge you!  I hope you didn't find Heaven too ironic when you arrived.More great levels are coming up in this LP. If you're hoping they will top that spacewalk somehow, you will be pleased.

The "red" laser (i.e. the one used by the guards) was quite popular in multiplayer for the armour-bypass ability. It's not a one-hit-kill like the Super Atomic Laser the player uses, but then that thing was so overpowered nobody put it in their levels. NOLF1 actually had quite an active modding scene. Someone even did a fully-voiced eight-mission single player campaign. Alas all the sites are long dead now.

Be interesting to see which.
