Played an old, old Japanese game called 'Power Shovel'. It was a riot, particularly because of the Samurai warrior that would come out and insult you after every pathetic attempt to move your pile of dirt.
What's old is new again!

I wonder how they did that (if they hardcoded it with trigger points, or if there's some real physics going on).
- aidenn0 4y agoI think that little video shows exactly why "mundane chores" are the rage in gaming. You get paid $80k for less than 5 minutes of operating a power shovel, running up against a time limit. If each level was 8 hours of operating a power shovel out in the hot sun, and if you stop playing without calling in sick, or call in sick too many times you immediately lose and are banned from playing the game again, it might be a bit less popular...
- hinkley 4y agoWhen you say “old” are you referring to the PlayStation game that came out in 2000? Paperboy came out in 1985: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperboy_(video_game) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperboy_(video_game) It was in arcades. At one point I had it on PC, and boy did I get tired of that quick.
