Beautiful game.

>Atlantis-based psychotic happy science type story
i mean, yeah, the graphics are great, and it's goddamn hilarious, but the changes E.V.O. makes turns it into an actually good game

>and it's goddamn hilarious
I cried at the beginning of the second chapter when carnivorous cockroaches brutally eat that little amphibian family alive. You find the son searching for the Flower of Evolution, and you see the poor guy dying, asking you to lie to his mother and say he's doing great. Then the game tells you those damn cockroaches are heading north, and when you arrive, you only read the mother's lament about seeing each of her loved ones eaten alive. Then you lie to her, and she dies with the false belief that her little son was okay and at least lived his life.

This game is not 'goddamn hilarious', what's wrong with you?

>>11816090
you can evolve into a god damned goblin, it's impossible to take this seriously.

how fucking autistic are you that your empathy is being used on literal newts?

>>Atlantis-based psychotic happy science type story
That type of shit is cool as fuck and I love it. It's pure schizo shit but really gets my nogging a joggin, some of the coolest stuff out there. Also this stuff is still older than Happy Science

It's truly fucked up that "biology" never became a mainstream game influence and is limited to like 4 titles. This is the perfect medium to explore it.

Be respectful man, they had feelings and dreams just as we do. Our life and feelings are as important as any creature alive.

>>11816097
that's why it's only a happy science type story.
honestly i wouldn't be surprised if this game and the megaten series were direct inspiration for that psycho cult.

>>11816112
they're not alive, they're pixels.

>>11816076
The snes version as an experience is really a shadow of the original.

>>11816117
>they're not alive, they're pixels.
t. no empathy
When I read a book, watch a movie, listen to a song, or play a video game, I empathize and feel it inside my mind; and that makes me alive, which is why I enjoy this stuff.

If you can't do that, why do you even bother? According to you, it's nothing but a waste of time watching pixels moving around, isn't it?

Requiescat in pace, Amphibian family.

>>11816117
God forbid people are enchanted by a fictional story.

SNES' E.V.O is not even a port but a butchered spin-off, that queen bee bullshit was stupid and the story has nothing to do with the PC-98 game at all. I bet it was Nintendo bullshit all over the place.

I haven't play this tho, but I watched a youtube video as this Anon >>11816094 and I thought it was funny by how that jewtube present its walkthrough but I didn't know stuff like this >>11816090 but let's be real, I don't see myself playing a forbidden Japanese game exclusive to an 80s obscure system, I'm not in the spectrum lol enjoy it, I guess?

>>11816094
That's not a comedy bit, its to show one of the failed evolutionary dead ends you can get. There is a bad ending for one of the human choices which is sort of a comedic bit where it just states humanity reaches the same outcome as our current world instead of an enlightened species.

>>11816153
that's not one of the dead ends, though. you can achieve the human endings going through the paths goblins or elves, or even dino-men. the dead ends just straight up give you a fake game over and set you back to the evolution menu.

>>11816124
NTA but SNES game actually makes good use of the evolution system that the whole game is built upon.
The PC98 game has great art (on cutscenes at least) and a batshit crazy plot, but I like the more down to earth (no pun intended) approach too, the in-game graphics are prettier, and again, gameplay and mechanics are definitely way more fleshed out than the first game.

>>11816151
It isn't obscure to anyone into retro games and not really even that unusual. It is just a proprietary MS-DOS PC that isn't IBM compatible.

>>11816113
It's the other way around. Games like this and Megaten were influenced by concepts that were around floating around, there was a big "occult boom" in Japan and magic stuff became big in pop culture. I always assumed SMT probably had some rederences to Aum Shinrikyo, I know Evangelion originally did apparently. Even Earthbound, the KKK looking cult I think stems from Aum or Happy Science.
And that stuff isn't even new. The backstory of the Conan the Barbarian stories starts with Atlantis sinking, and is directly influenced by Helena Blavatsky's claims. Robert E Howard made it clear he was writing fiction and not making some new claims about history, since I guess fantasy was still a new concept for people. Ironically enough, Conan books did likely directly influence all the lizard people conspiracy theories decades later.

Is not a Nintendo game so I don't care

>>11816151
>download patched rom
>download ready to use emulator archive that's been around for a decade just for playing that patched rom
>refuse to do so because "the system is too obscure" and the game is "heckin' forbidden"
Strong NPC logic there. Guess he's too busy walking in the same 3x3 square in his house.

>>11816151
You can go ahead and stop posting now

>>11816168
Yeah the SNES game is awesome and is VASTLY superior to the original mechanically. And it does have a pretty crazy story of its own, though the original is very hard to live up to in that respect. I think it's easily the better of the two. The PC-98 one is an interesting and worthwhile experience but an awful game.

>>11816245
It has an SNES port thover

>>11816245
Fucking tendie!!!1!!

How woefully unensouled

Is not a port but its own thing

>>11816625
those newts have exactly as much of a soul as you or I.

none.

because souls don't fucking exist.

t. edgy boi

Go back playing Shadow The Hedgehog, little dude.

>>11816984
nothing edgy about not accepting superstitious nonsense without proof.

and i only play good sonic games, thanks.

>>11816989
I bet you don't believe in God because 'muh sky daddy'. You are a new age edgy boi.

>>11817008
i don't believe in god because there's zero evidence he exists. i also don't believe in new age bullshit because there's no evidence it has any merit. I'm about as edgy as a butterknife, i'm just too autistic to accept nonsense that makes to sense.

>>11817013
>there's no evidence
Your consciousness is the proof. Little dude you are a new age edgy boy or just an ignorant nigger that is derailing this thread.

>>11817016
consciousness is a product of the brain. all the evidence that exists shows that, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. we are as we evolved to be(see, back on topic), and you have a really weird obsession with "new age" and linking it with the group of people who are statistically least likely to believe in it. frankly it seems almost fetishistic. are you touching yourself to the thought of this made up pagan atheist?

bump

This should have been ported to old Apple computers and given to American students in school computer labs, so that we could have learned about evolution and astronomical history PROPERLY. Too many live in ignorance of mama Lucifer's beauty

God even in the Bible is just reality. Everything, to be exact. It is quite miraculous that anything exists at all, begging the question "well then, what created God?" Which is a question that can be also said for what causes energy to be condensed into a singularity, more importantly, what causes energy at all? A God of sorts is needed, regardless of cyclical questioning, that's part of the infinite. Cyclical infinity seems to be the paradox of God or reality, or everything.

Poor cope. I posited a reasoning and this is not an answer, just sad cope.

That screenshot looks depressing.

>>11818546
It's irrelevant nonsense that most Christians don't subscribe too at all, closer to "new age" than what the other guy whines about.
