[juliemunckton]

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #DrakMaze is a lovely #mazegame from the early days of the Spectrum. Track down Dracula. Even if you fall through the floor, you can continue as long as you land in the coffin. A nice relaxing #nostalgia game.

Max Fleisher

Max Fleisher was an animator, inventor, film director and producer who was born on July 19 1883. One of his most notable works was Betty boop as she is a very recognizable character in the early animation history but on top of that he also was the inventor of the rotoscope, set up his own studio called Fleischer studios Inc and also made the animations Popeye the Sailor Out of the inkwell Talkartoons Screen Songs Song Car-Tunes Superman.

Eadweard Mybridge

Eadweard Mybridge was a English photographer and became famous for his photography work in motion and coming out with the first animation being the running horse. From this he also made other animations in motion some being a man jumping a running man and 2 men fighting.

Richard Williams

Richard Williams is a animator, voice actor, director who is best known for his animation work in who framed roger rabbit he is known for this as it was one of the first times that animation and real life had been mixed together and the animation being done so realistically. However he did have a side project called the thief and the cobbler and sadly it never saw full release as he never had the funds to finish his work off.

David Perry

David Perry was an Irish game developer and programmer who was most popular for his work on plat former games Earthwork Jim and Disney’s Aladdin and also made lesser known projects them being cool spot drakmaze, savage and many more.

The Act by Cecropia

The act is a game that is played like a short movie as you follow the adventure of a window cleaner trying to save his brother not get fired and find the love of his life. the game has a slapstick comedy theme to it while also letting you in on the game so you feel involved in the movie as if your actions have an impact on the characters lives and it could better them or worsen them.

3: Undertale

I really enjoyed playing undertale because of its unique combat system of being able to choose how you play the game that being sparing or killing the monster this also effected the games ending which made the story of the game so good as it was an enjoyable ride throughout the whole thing with twists and humour put out through it and you could change the outcome of the game by killing everything or killing nothing giving the game replay ability as you want to seek out the different endings and see how the games story changed with the different paths taken.

Another thing that makes Undertale great is The characters in the game. Almost all the side characters are rememberable as they each have there own Loving personality's and drives that makes the player feel like they are friends with the character connecting them to the game more than others.

2: Pokémon Black and White

Pokémon black and white is a game close to my heart as i played it loads and loads as a kid it was the game that time into completing again and again never getting bored of it and it will stay as one of my favourite games for that reason. but there are many other reasons the game is good.

For example the amount of original Pokémon, npcs, rivals, leaders and ect are amazing the amount of originality in this game is amazing. I can also appreciate the battling as further down the more games they make the cooler the animations in battle are to see. furthermore the story for this pokemon had a deeper meaning than just beating the elite 4 it was also about the morals of keeping Pokémon to battle and if humans were in the right making it one of my favourite Pokémon games. To end off the music for this Pokémon was something they had nether done before but it is actually a beautiful and hype soundtrack perfect for the game.

1: Osu

Osu is one of my favorite games right now And is my favorite 2d game. this is because of the simpleness of what the game is and how you can improve and it makes the game get more and more advanced as you get better. the game is all about improving and there are leaderboards for all players which if u have a competitive side you will want to move up the ranks and that makes the game very addicting to play. there is also no time where u have to stay on the came so you can come on and off when you please meaning your only playing the game when you want to making people not get bored and not being able to leave wiithout getting a game ban.

there is also a very nice learning curve and when you get better or make a new top score you feel an adrenalin  rush even though your just clicking circles to the beat. Finally i like the customization that you can have with the game such as making your own skin for the game letting you be able to complete change how the default game looks to your liking.
