Muva nje, ngiqale umkhankaso wokulandelela ikhophi ye Ika-JRR Tolkien ethi The Lord of the Rings: Umqulu 1 weSuper Nintendo - umdlalo engiwuklomelise kancane 3/10 esikhathini esidlule. Angizange ngifune ikhophi njengohlobo oluyinqaba lwesijeziso, noma ukuba yindida - ngangifuna ukuba umnikazi wayo kabusha ngoba, naphezu kokubi kakhulu, nginokuxhumana kwangempela, okusuka enhliziyweni nayo.
Emuva ngo-1994, lapho i-Lord of the Rings iqala ishaya i-SNES, ngase ngivele ngingumlandeli ongumakadebona wochungechunge lwezinganekwane oluhlonishwayo. Isingeniso sami emhlabeni ka-Tolkien kwakungeyona i-trilogy yencwadi - noma ngisho inoveli eyandulela izingane, The Hobbit - kodwa Inguqulo yopopayi ka-Ralph Bakshi ka-1978 ezincwadini ezimbili zokuqala ze-Lord of the Rings - Ukuhlangana Kwendandatho futhi AmaTowers Amabili - futhi, ngokulandela lesi sihloko esingalingani (kodwa sisathandwa) se-Middle-Earth, ngafunda izincwadi zokuqala eminyakeni embalwa kamuva. Ngesikhathi ngifika eminyakeni yami yobusha, ngase ngilambele ukusebenzisa imidiya eminingi ehlobene nochungechunge ngangokunokwenzeka - okwathi, emuva ekuqaleni kwawo-'90s, kwakungelula ngendlela ongase ucabange ngayo (amamuvi kaPeter Jackson kusekude kude).
Njengoba ungacabanga, bengilangazelela ukufaka izandla zami ku-Lord of the Rings for the SNES, naphezu kokuphela komunye umdlalo osuselwe ochungechungeni engangiludlalile - War in Middle-earth ku-Atari ST yami - ukuba yinto edumazayo. I-Interplay, inkampani ngemuva kokuphuma kwe-SNES, yayisivele idale imidlalo emibili ye-Lord of the Rings yamakhompyutha omuntu siqu, kodwa ngangibone izithombe-skrini kuphela komagazini futhi ngangingakaze ngizidlale. Ngakho-ke, bengingena enguqulweni ye-SNES ngezinga elithile lethemba - ithemba elakhula lapho ngifunda kabanzi mayelana nobubanzi bomdlalo ekuhloleni kuqala komagazini kwaleso sikhathi.
Ukukhishwa kwe-Lord of the Rings: Umqulu 1 kwabambezeleka ngandlela thize, futhi ngesikhathi igcina ifikile ngo-1994, injabulo yayisizakhela isizukulwane esilandelayo semidlalo, njengoba i-3DO ne-Atari Jaguar seziyatholakala kanye ne-Sony PlayStation ne-Sega Saturn zombili. esondela emkhathizwe. Noma kunjalo, ngangingumlandeli ozinikele futhi iqiniso lokuthi igeyimu ye-Interplay's SNES yaboleka kakhulu efilimini yopopayi yango-1978 yaqinisa isifiso sami sokuyidlala ngempela.
Kodwa-ke, ngisusa ama-specs ami-tinted isikhashana nje, ngangazi nangaleso sikhathi ukuthi lokhu kwakunjalo hhayi umdlalo wevidiyo omuhle. Izilawuli beziqinile, izindawo ezizungezile zifiphele futhi umdlalo uphindaphinda kabuhlungu. Bekungekho ngisho inketho yokwenza ikhophi yasenqolobaneni yebhethri, ngakho-ke bekumele ufake iphasiwedi ebekwe ngendlela ecasulayo njalo uma ufuna ukuqhubeka nohambo lwakho. Futhi, njengoba 'Umqulu 1' esihlokweni uphakamisa, lena kwakungeyona ngisho indaba egcwele - yaphela ngesikhathi ufika e-Rivendell, okusho ukuthi inqwaba yezinye izikhathi ezimangalisayo ezincwadini zazingekho. Noma kunjalo, okungenani umculo wawumuhle - empeleni, ngingaphikisa ukuthi ungenye yezingoma ezingcono kakhulu ze-SNES.
Naphezu kwamaphutha ayo asobala, akhubaza, ngakhuthazela. Lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungenxa yokuthi, emuva maphakathi nawo-'90s, nganginemali encane engenayo (ngangisafunda) ngakho kwadingeka ngiqinisekise ukuthi ngiyayithola. esiphezulu inani lokuzijabulisa nokuzijabulisa okuvela zonke umdlalo engiwuthengile - noma wawumubi. Kodwa-ke, ngisanomuzwa wokuthi ukuxhumana kwami okunesikhathi eside emhlabeni we-Middle-Earth kuyini ngempela wangikholisa ukuthi ngiqhubeke; Ngisayithanda imisebenzi kaTolkien (ngisho nangemva kweminyaka engamashumi amabili ngaphezu kwalokho okungachazwa ngokupha njengokuvezwa ngokweqile ngemva kwamabhayisikobho kaJackson) kodwa i-Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 yafika ngesikhathi lapho uFrodo, Samwise kanye noGandalf babengabadlali abancane. umhlaba wamasiko adumile, kanye neqiniso lokuthi badlale umdlalo on my I-SNES ngandlela thize yenza wonke umsebenzi wazizwa ukhanga kakhulu kunalokho owawuyikho ngempela.
Futhi sesikhona, ngo-2021. Eminyakeni eminingi ngemva kokuthengisa igeyimu yami yoqobo lapho ngihambisa iqoqo lami le-SNES ukuze ngithenge i-PlayStation (ngixolele, Miyamoto!), sengikulungele ukucosha enye ikhophi - hhayi ukuze ngidlale, kodwa Nginakho eqoqweni ukungikhumbuza ukuthi akuwona wonke amageyimu okufanele abe awakudala abandayo ukuze uwathande ngaphandle kwemibandela.
Imuphi umdlalo 'omubi' owuthanda ngaphezu kwazo zonke izizathu? Futhi yini indaba ngemuva kwalobo budlelwano? Sazise ngokuphawula ngezansi.
