I had them all ٩◔‿◔۶ and nope no games, it takes too long , so if anyone really wanted to create games in the 80s-90s , i advised them to learn a proper language cause back then there was no Unity (°⌣°) so.... and the previous examples show that click n drag and play development does not work :D

Anyway you see i was young and willing to learn and spend too much time and money on it , now i 'm old and want to play games preferably no unity games cause i'd be spending most of the time sending mails or chatting in the support forums ' begging' to make the unity games ( i paid for) run on my pc, the fun thing is , many times they have set their min req. too low ( mostly at steam) seems they do not know their own game .... (︶︹︺)
Thats about it i guess .... feel free to reply, i but have explained everything already, and were not in court, and i'm not on trial nor out on bail (°⌣°)

edit: i had to block ALL unity exe files cause they all seem to collect info, info they do not need and they did not ask my permission for.
In the local files on the c drive there are many logs showing the user login in the windows? they do NOT need to know that... anyway i blocked the exes but if the .dll the unityplayer.dll is the one sending then it cannot be blocked, firewall does not have option to block in and outgoing files other than . exe
A Unity filter on Steam would be nice , would allow me and more users ,(seems more users do not like unity that much) to filter and hide all of them, that would save me 3 hours browsing the games : (°⌣°)

Yes! More Amiga!

Yes you can. I agree that you should not buy games just to refund them but yes, Steam gives you the opportunity to refund any game if you did not play it longer than 2 hours within 14 days I think.

I thought so as well for the exact same reason but then I watched youtube videos of the original game as well as other games that have 4:3 aspect ratio and I have to say that you are wrong here. The actual version has correct 4:3 aspect ratio while RE has not.
Yes, as far as I know that's a well known problem in pretty much all Unity games. So I'll have to agree here. Doesn't bother me much - but that's just my personal opinion. I understand everybody who would not want games to collect data (for whatever reason) without asking them first.

Thanks for such a great response! I've been able to get RE working, along with the Amiga music files! However, I'm stuck at the SegaCD Voice.VCE. I found the file but when I copy it over into the data folder, I don't get the speach "Hey it's me" when opening up the holocube. I've tried copying+pasting the file everywhere, but no joy. Maybe I'm missing something :(

I don't use the voice. But I did try to copy the file and ran into the same issue as you. I'm not sure why its not reading it as it should be.

Here.
Take my money.
This is one of the greatest games of all time for me. I still remember to this very day, the rainy day I bought it and the hours I spent with it on Sega Megadrive. <3
Love to every perso involved in the making of the original and this restoration. Delphine Software, Paul de Senneville et Paul Cuisset, I love you guys.
An old fan of the old era.

And... I have to admit I don't get your point here. I've tried / worked on most the development environment you cited (yep, getting old too :) ) and I don't feel like they are in the same league than Unity.

Don't get me wrong, you can probably develop one of the trash games available on Steam for 0.99 € without doing much (any?) code but developing a real game is another matter. Unity simplify some tasks by providing "shortcuts" (like Visual Studio combined with some good libraries does for application development) but there is still a lot of development (and I'm not even taking into account the design, the artistic direction, the business management) required to have something like this Flashback release or games like Wasteland 2.

I also know the limitations of the engine when it comes to performance (although in good hands it can do wonders) and I have to admit I'd have to learn more about the "phoning home" issue.

That's why I wanted to check if you really tried Unity because I do believe you're overestimating what the IDE can do. Proper coding (either in C# or one of the other supported scripting language) is still required to get anything worthy.

As a gamer, never had any specific issues with Unity games so I've got to admit I really don't care about the engine used (except for technical curiosity but that's another topic :) ).

No problem here. As I stated in my initial post, it was not meant to offense you but I just wanted to clarify what I saw as a misunderstanding due to the way Unity is sometimes seen (and, as stated earlier, the trash games compiling a bunch of assets with a few simple scripts for a few cents are not helping either).

I am not that easily offended (｡◕‿◕｡) I am Dutch.... a few examples:

they make jokes that we invented the copperwire , "two Dutch people fighting over the same penny." ,

the fact we go Dutch (share the cost of something, especially a meal, equally.)

we also have the right to assemble and protest peacefully but we seldom do it unlike our neighbours ,
in the news, France and our favorite and funniest neighbours: Belgium .(our favorites)(this is very funny
https://youtu.be/H65qSzJVLto?t=383) (everything is funny , just watch and see, i also love the brittish 'dry' humor like blackadder, mr bean, faultytowers, i taint half hot mum , areyou being served and more classics we watched as kids...)

Basically the Dutch are a bunch of Little Goody Two-Shoes (⌒o⌒) , all bark but no bite ≖‿≖ , seems they wanted to do what the French and Belgians did , it failed.

Anyway, those programs were the tools back then, Unity wasnt born,so we had to do with those programs, it's as different as chalk and cheese' ( in Dutch we would use " appels met peren vergelijken")
in a way those tools were the best to work with besides the assembler and c# and other older languages.

That is a good argument against having these type of games being released by speculators looking for a quick profit.

It most certainly is ,for people that only want to get things free that is ofcourse, , real freeloaders , who never buy games, audio music video dvd, and spend .1000's of guilders and now euros like i did and still do to support the gazillionnaire entertainment industry, and that my friends is the difference so please dont refer me nor suggest or call me in one name with the real freeloaders that dont pay a nickle , thank you , cause that would hurt my feelings.

Yeah, I also noticed the problem with the graphics options resetting.

And yes, the Aliens level had me tearing my hair out. I don't know how I finished Expert mode back in the day. I ended up just abusing the teleporter mechanic to get past the first bunch of aliens. It took my hours to get to that first save point, and then I was stuck there for a while because I didn't kill the bug on the above platform and it kept knocking Conrad off the platform before I could kill it. =\

I remember the original DOS version on real hardware having circular icons, so whatever video you watched was probably stretched. I also do not remember the characters looking that wide.

Not to mention all of the screenshots for all of the versions across all of the different platforms and even the scanned box art on MobyGames displays that icon as being circular. This new version (or at least the screenshot you posted of it) is most definitely displaying the wrong aspect ratio.

Edit: I have now looked up several gameplay videos on YouTube for different original versions and they all have circular item icons.

So going Dutch was because they broke the penny/wire? lol :-) awesome, People are way to uptight these days and can't take anything. From a snowmexican to a Penny puller.

Lol, Penny puller , thats a good one , have to remember that one , never heard of a snowmexican until now, i do know snowcones :D, when i was a kid , i always heard jokes that Scots were greedy , read a few Donald Ducks and they always made fun of them being greedy .

I also know snowflakes the real snowflakes and the new 'snowflakes' they use the word every day when replying to US news ( Yahoo videos and replies) the comments and replies are loaded with the word 'snowflakes'
seems they tie the word to left parties/liberals , i dont care what they say cause i am neither:
not left not right not liberal..

one of my favorite movies , Arnold says "its a snowcone maker" very good movie

True Lies:
"Do you know what this is? It's a snow cone maker!"

As I said - I checked it with other 4:3 ratio games. The ratio used with REminiscence simply is NOT 4:3. Also I would be interested in having a link to one of those videos you looked up. Here's one that I saw.

Here is another game with 4:3 aspect ratio

and here is the RE version

Clearly not 4:3.
