for some reason I like Tomb World. like as if the series had gone tomb raider 1,2,3 and then followed the mario naming convention, Tomb Land, Tomb World, Tomb 64, Tomb Galaxy etc.

the middle one looks like a bad-ass screenshot from a arcade beat-em up game, like jojo's bizarre adventure
 
notice the caption in upper right corner:

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR
 
also

what i always liked in the megaman bosses at times is the somehowly weird depressive colouring? it's hard to explain. i bet that dragon and three blocks you see when you die and exit the world, you have to shoot it three times before the whole world disappears ceremously with a flicker. just replace That Ending Fight in FF7 with that Megaman dragon fight, please.
 
you bet they went for the childlike + simplistic design etc. for it's time (the post-astro boy anime), but the way NES handles the colours and the colour pallette somehow makes it kinda bleached out/nostalgic/"finalistic" and "blue" (yes, that blues/jazz word lol).
i mean look at the dragons. both are against the black backdrop so it's not just that, there's some kind of poetic fatalism in the left one. i bet no one gets it, but whatever, i'd put that dragon in the left into golden frames and put it on a empty wall!!!!!!!! sue me, fuckers!!!!!!!!! i'm going to burn some incence in front the piccie now...
also nooo don't even try bringing up That Holy Rainbow Islands C64 Intro Screen, it doesn't work. this does something very specific, it's just nearly there but not 100% there to the effect.
I bet chillwave or simpsonwave people would just take the picture and put it through vhs filter and call it a day lol. actually i think somehow the opposite would be oddly enough be the right directions, somehow? but yes, you can't just put some graph filter on it either, this is millimeter work!!! *sweeps all perchants to floor, knocks down couple of statues, throws a fit, kicks out everyone from atelier* FILTH!!!!
 
EDIT: Tho i don't have that much antipathos 2 these scenesters, so relax earlzip et all... just using them as an example of shortcut to esthetics -filters not kinda capturing the fine details properly
 
tho i bet the dragon in right somehow would be the nes equilevant of aphex twin album cover art. dunno why, don't look me so beggin' ragnar aaaaa i dunno whyyyy
 
EDIT: i accidentally saw just now, i somehow mixed up the sprites of that green giant in the first picture, realized it would make perfect dancing gif hell yeahhhhhh. loving how he's swinging fist above his head while dancing.
 

why thank YOU, Fabio- WAIT A MINUTE

i ran a text generator over a big list of game titles, here are some that it generated:
 
these are picked out but not otherwise edited
 
free to use for any purpose, for example, to name a racehorse
What list and randomizer did you use? Sounds like something that'd be fun to mess around with.

it's a beautiful ass. i like the frozen ass pose. imagine if all games was like that. you are a CYCLIST racing against TIME *frozen dynamic ass, cheap fps-esque racing game against other frozen ass cyclists* this amazing french cycling tournament...
 
also wanton bonzi bosts contibue: i liked the tales of phantasia -intro (before starting the actual game), because here is this massive last big budget JPRG from 1996, yet somehow I'd call the game "soft-jrps" (you know, like soft-pop.) because all the sounds, physic engine, battle system, etc EVERYTHING felt loose and underwhelming... like an unity game 20 years before the fact. it's bit like making michelangelos david - statue, then just adding an ultra-sloppy rock penis as an afterthought or something. or anime-eyes on david. yeahhhhhh
 
i also like that the games theme that plays in intro is this cheap euro-dance Jpop theme, but the soundfonts etc are unable to raise to the bar, so as a result there's this random ultra-distorted, impossible to dechiper female jpop singer mufflin' over very cheap sounding soundfonts and composition. murder dog IV looks happy. how did they leave this in the final product????
 
(reminds me how terranigma would have this super high level pixel graphics, then out of blue would have these ridicilous 20 minute long cutscenes with WHOAAAAH 90'S 3D GRAAPHHSSS of random mountain range, like a blurred GIF of a one. yupppp.)
 
ohh and who thought it was a brilliant idea to have like... endlessly repeating sega coin arcade - esque intro??? like before even starting the game?? in a jprg??? further cheapens the game
 
basically how cheap and expensive can one be at the same time???? aptly summarizes the weird eclipse times of
*jangly, analogue recorded 12-string guitar* summeerrr of sixty-niii- wait i mean NIIINETY-SIIIX *instantly changes to weird honky mariopaint - level soundfont sound of guitar that sounds like midi kazoo*
 
 
also i thought doom 1/2 midi ost is like, perfectly playable and more understandable by stevie wonder on a clavi - piano?? like the doom ost... there's no way it would make sense as heavy metal ost, only as weirdo piano covers like the real thing. would be great, would pay for that experience. it would actually really make sense in the context of the game, the game's already this ridicilous Magic Wand - esque abstract level design from hell, so having like... 40's mute movie barroom-piano - ost in the background would make sense. DYNAMIC MUSIC, REACTS TO PLAYERS EMOTIONS etc emotion engine

ahha thanks ragnar, sorry i forgot to reply BUT i can always trust ragnar, he can read my mumbojumbo and know instantly just what I MEAN. bonzi happily jumps straight into airvent -> ragnar: yes I love you too bonzi etc.
 
Mega Dam = Sega Rally. also CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE so that's so command & conquer cgi. but i do like the jetset/olympics - coloured letters for no reason. is that a mysterious l ron hubbard insignia in gold at the end? i love the idea, kinda making these unremarkable easy to gloss over stamps like (C) (Tm) etc but then you're like HOLY SHIT KKK or whatever. world would be a better/worse? place.

Mega Dam 3 is the largest facility yet, it will create a reservoir holding over 300,000 tons of water.
 
I plan to grow amd cook rice on its shores between inundations.

Well you can always go on a personal Casey Jones - vendetta on dat dam, like this fine young chap planning Julius Caesars murder:

what a bad ass!!!
 
 
EDIT: I just realized what irks me in this Windows One. or wait, what's the name. 7? 8? 10? Oh yeah, it's 10. Man, don't blame me though, they skipped one number because it looks pretty... anyways, the esthetics are like, really exaggarated Tron meets... IBM Windows 4.0. Take a look at it yourself. It's Tron meets IBM Windows. Yeeeepppppppppp. I wonder what Dada the resident web designer-freelancer-neeter-win95 gamer extraordionare thinks of it.

What list and randomizer did you use? Sounds like something that'd be fun to mess around with. 
 
unfortunately it's not easy to set up the randomizer... i was trying to use the RNN thing as described here: http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ ...but I couldn't get Torch to work, so instead I used the minimal Python script version (search that page for "I also wrote a minimal...") It needs Python with the NumPy extension, the script requires a file called input.txt to run from the same folder, and unfortunately it's so minimal there's no way to save the state of the generator and no file output, it just spits out a fragment of generated text to the console window every few seconds... i left it running for hours and hours then starting copying and pasting chunks of it out to a text editor to find good ones
 
the list is one that i scraped from mobygames: https://archive.org/download/plaintext-game-metadata/mb_games.txt (1.1mb)
