Psx indie games in CRT

I turned this broken PS1 into a retro mini PC for fun some time ago. It worked perfectly for playing the Twin Peaks demo by blueroseteamtp on a CRT. I really recommend it; the demo is excellent and is free in itchiogames . If you want the code or the 3D pieces, let me know. The ghostly Laura Palmer figurine from season 3 was made by kuato_toys

Ore no Ryouri (I'm the Chef)

Argent - PlayStation - 1999

[images from giant bomb, youtube, and emuparadise]

it's very satisfying when the controls for a game feel immersive. it's like using a fishing controller for a fishing game like Sega Bass Fishing, or a light gun for a shooting game like House of the Dead, or the Wii remote for the swordfights in Wii Sports Resort. not a lot of games go for that, and I think that's kind of a shame. one of the most high-action and unique of this kind of game is Ore no Ryouri (which literally means I'm the Chef), a super snappy and arcade-y cooking/restaurant sim for the PS1 developed by Argent (which I can't find any information about at all, if anyone has any please message me). it doesn't use any special controller, only gestures on the Dualshock controller's two joysticks to give you the feeling of cooking: using the left stick to tilt a glass and the right stick to pour beer, spinning a stick to stir batter, or pushing a stick back and forth to flip a patty in a pan. it's simple, but the responsiveness and mechanics around the gestures encourage you to cook as fast and hard as you can with its immersive controls, which is the real essence of the manic Ore no Ryouri.

sometimes when I hear about a game that started a genre, I wonder how good it can actually be compared to the modern alternatives. I haven't heard of any cooking games that came before Ore no Ryouri (message me if I'm wrong) and there have been plenty of cooking games since 1999, like Cooking Mama, the Papa's series, and Cook, Serve, Delicious!, so there's been some time for someone to make something better than the first one. "better" and "best" are matters of opinion, but I still think Ore no Ryouri is easily the best and wholly unique among cooking games and games that aim to have "immersive" controls.

Ore no Ryouri works like this: customers' orders pop up on a list and their patience drains over time, always visible at the side of the screen. different dishes are broken down into different steps, and each step is a different gesture with the sticks. how fast and accurate you are on each step in a dish determines your final score when you finally serve it, so you want to work fast and well -- many steps let you perform literally as fast as you can move the joysticks, which makes it as intense as you want it to be. sometimes you have to wait for something to boil or fry, and you can work on different orders during those waiting steps, though you have to be sure to take it off the stove at the right time. and occasionally there are "problem tasks" that show up and take a little more time to do, like washing dishes or chasing a runaway customer. if you let the time on one of these run out, all your customers instantly leave, which is almost a guaranteed loss. when your score is high enough, you win. that's basically it.

it's also got a really quirky story that I can't read because I don't know Japanese and a bright, fun art style indicative of a Japanese PS1 game. there's an awesome competitive mode where two players can go head to head in an intense culinary tug-of-war, which I've mostly only played against computers because that's the story mode and no one else has ever played this. but still. by the way, the disc looks like this!

what I love about Ore no Ryouri is that it's ultra-responsive: it lets you go as fast as your hands and mind can take you. sometimes you have to wait for things to cook, but that's the time between, and even those few seconds of pause are important. if you take a long task at the wrong time, you might let burgers cook too long or let a customer get impatient and leave. balancing this just right and cooking as fast as you can with its odd immersive controls feels like nothing else. Cooking Mama is actually a great counter-example of responsiveness, since the minigames have lots of fanfare and tutorials between them and a simple dish can take a couple minutes start to finish, while Ore no Ryouri's long dishes take maybe 30 seconds. (Ore no Ryouri's tutorials are found during the "restaurant phase" of the sotry mode, where they show you the gestures you're supposed to do in the corner of the screen. the number of different gestures is also fairly limited, which is either for technical reasons or by design because it's hard to remember too many. either way, it feels great for its short runtime, though I wish there was more!)

by the way, cooking game fans probably already know Cook, Serve, Delicious! (CSD from here on), which is also a cooking/restaurant sim with really similar mechanics to Ore no Ryouri…because it is Ore no Ryouri. or it was. the first CSD was actually the commercial release of a fangame called Ore no Ryomi 3, the third in a line of fanmade PC remakes of Ore no Ryouri. the CSD series has definitely expanded mechanically on the foundation of Ore no Ryouri in a lot of interesting ways, and it does its best to emulate the intensity…but I think it falls short. it's like Guitar Hero on a keyboard instead of a guitar. there's just no comparison, even if Ore no Ryouri isn't as mechanically rich in certain ways. CSD is purely button-based, regardless of whether you're on controller or keyboard, and it just doesn't feel right after playing Ore no Ryouri. any fans of CSD should surely go back and give this one a try.

Midori from Evil Zone from the ps1! I love strong girls what can I say 😂 I’ve never even played this game tbh but saw a post about it and started watching videos about it. I’ve been getting back into ps1+2 games recently and always loved fighting games so I was immediately interested ✨ . . . #evilzone #ps1games #ps1classic #digitalart #transartistsofinstagram #midorihimeno https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDhzdBPkXY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It isn't often science-fantasy makes itself known in the gaming world, but especially in the realm of LightGun shooters. With this video, I'll be giving my opinion on Elemental Gearbolt - Alfa System's esoteric on-the-rails adventure through the past of a war-torn realm. And man, that art is so good! Constant, obsessive, updates on the channel and it's lispy voicer can be found most reliably on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KeiNovaYT Much thanks - and remember to SUB and LIKE to support the channel. Oh, and try and stay cool. I sweated buckets recording this one.
