I have a PC connected to my TV. And while scrolling through my games, I came across Major Stryker. I saw that it supports Xbox controller. I’ve only played this game with a keyboard, so curiosity got the better of me.
Now if you’re not familiar with Major Stryker, it’s one of those Apogee titles from the early ‘90s. You know, low budget shareware with EGA graphics and Sound Blaster. Major Stryker never got a console release, it’s exclusive to PC even to this day.
Well, having the console experience with Major Stryker—even though I’m not technically using a console—was strange. Good game, definitely one of the best shoot-‘em-ups of the 90s. But it’s strange playing it this way.
It’s just weird seeing this game on a large 4K display. It’s not terrible, it just feels dissonant.
names of games I didn’t expect to hear to day. Only had Major Stryker shareware as a kid, played it a lot, along with Duke Nukum and some other old SW games.
But those games on massive tv? Pixels the size of cats.
Were you using any crt shaders or such?
No shaders. It’s the raw pixels, and it’s quite the experience. Not terrible, just unique.
