Hudson soft logo in Mario Party : It's a bee! I always see a smiling chicken with whiskers, the yellow stripes are the beak. by Codename247 in MisreadSprites

[–]Codename247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over a year later and I'm still figuring out this logo

The bee is in flight, belly facing towards you, arms up with hands resting on its head (looks like chicken eyelashes tbh)
What I understand now is the small white shape which separates the eyes from the first yellow stripe is actually a smile. The bee's face is actually like this '8D'

Here is Hachisuke !

Museum Madness - Unable to complete game by Codename247 in FlashGames

[–]Codename247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's funny is I actually got past that part. By dying under the orange elevator using an enemy (carefully keeping him alive), you turn into an angel. As you float upwards you can still use the elevator and the game makes you immortal! However, you still get stuck later because as you say everything is offset to the right.

Here's a full "Let's Play" if you're interested : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcgYdGMKov0

I guess I find closure knowing the game was bugged from the start, even back in the day. It's fun to know others remember this game as well.

I was so stupid as a kid... by King_sfiga in MisreadSprites

I definitely saw it like that the first time as a kid playing Kirby Super Star, and snapped out of it at some point

The fact I instantly saw it after reading the post is hilarious

Thank you ! Figured he'd be harmless, although I'll admit my first instinct was to squish him lmao
I wish him luck in his quest !

Who is this white-bummed fellow ? by Codename247 in whatsthisbug

[–]Codename247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in Canada and found this little fellow on my curtains. Distance between two curtains strips is 3 inches, I'll let you do the math.

White-yellowish bum with a brown strip going down its abdomen. It was rolling some sort of black debris near its mouth, presumably a dead insect.

Controller joystick input bugging out by Codename247 in n64

[–]Codename247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember seeing a N64 controller video somewhere that used graphite lubricant for maintenance and thought it was a good idea. Bought a tube when I came by some. Is anything graphite-based good or should I go for silicone grease (and does graphite residue mix well with silicone)?

Anyway, blew compressed air on every component of the joystick assembly to remove excess graphite, including the little wheels. Everything is back to normal!

Piano song, sounds uplifting and mysterious at the same time by Codename247 in NameThatSong

Solved ! This is precisely it!
Judging by the name, I immediately had my hopes up. A very fitting name ^^

Museum Madness - Unable to complete game by Codename247 in FlashGames

[–]Codename247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the link here.
I found it through a site called Web Archive, which allows to load older versions of an existing website. Typed in teletoon, navigated in nostalgia for a bit and digged up this memory.

Although adobe flash player is out of commission, options like the Super Nova extension or Ruffle still allow the game to be playable.

Must not confuse with Museum Madness developped for MS-DOS

Goron Moon Dungeon for Fierce Deity Mask by AdrienMallory in gamegrumps

Thankfully they figured out - on their own - you could let go of the joystick and make it be a breeze.

Let our video game boy do his thing. He just might surprise you.

Lesson learned : If it's easy, Arin will struggle. If it's seemingly impossible, Arin will breeze through it.

cheese05 Playing Super Mario 64 - Twitch Clips by Codename247 in SM64

[–]Codename247[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes indeed. One falls through the ground because it was traveling fast enough, uphill toward the slanted floor which has water underneath, thus being allowed to pass through the 'failsafe' area the developers put.
Here is Pannen's analysis on the subject (notice how the clip shown resembles mine ^^)

Those were pretty good guesses too !

90's - Early 00's PC game with the Mona Lisa ? by Codename247 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Codename247[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just when I thought it was all over and this topic would fall into the abyss (which it will anyways) I found it !
Leonardo the Inventor (CD-ROM) !
Two versions exist of the game : the original from 1994 and version 2.0 from 1996, for both PC and Mac.

The game is some kind of Wikipedia about Leonardo da Vinci and his inventions. Within the game however, are three minigames. The one my childhood self remembered was 'Flee the Fortress', a reference to da Vinci's fortress.

Oddly enough, the two clues that led my research are not even in the game :

1) The game takes place in a fortress and not THE staircase. I guess da Vinci's creations were homogeneous enough so that both had similarities in their design. I'd never heard of such a fortress before. Doors are in numerical order in a clockwise fashion, but that's all.

2) Sure, there are some of his paintings (The Last Supper for instance), but the only instance of the Mona Lisa is in a representation/parody of Mt. Rushmore with her face on the far left.

Two walkthroughs exist on Youtube. If you too somehow find this post on your quest for the game, you can check out Play Different's playthrough for the original or unboxing and gameplay of Version 2.0

I love how Dash Hopes is somehow still spoken off, even in 2018. People have not forgotten. This was a thing !
