Les Shoots méconnus sur PC MS-DOS

[jfs]

Salut à tous,

Petit topic pour vous montrer quelques Shoots sur pc Ms-dos pas toujours connus .

Je commence avec Sideline, un shoot de 1996.

Ca tourne sur PC Pentium 300mhz + sound blaster AWE 64, pur DOS.

Celui-ci pour une raison inconnue n'arrive pas à calibrer ma manette donc obligé de jouer avec le clavier .(D'ailleurs, si quelqu'un est arrivé à jouer à la manette avec celui là qu'il hésite pas à m'en parler)

Je posterai au fur et à mesure d'autres vidéos de trucs sympas.

ça a pas l'air nul j'aurai presque cru qu'un bon euroshmup ait pu voir le jour, mais non, c'est une boite taiwanaise.
ça aurait été bien d'inclure qlq infos:

SideLine is a 2D side-scrolling shooter for DOS computers, created in the mid-90's by a Taiwanese group called EMAG (Electronic Music and Animated Graphics, also GAME backwards). EMAG was born when a group of people, some of them students in Taiwan's National Chiao Tung University, gathered together and pursued their dream of creating games. Most members had never developed games nor run a company before, so they learned by doing. SideLine was their first game but it sold poorly and soon EMAG was barely able to remain active, only supported by its later games 3DCop/ADCop and BonBon Paradise, both light gun games. Soon most members left and established a new company, and EMAG closed soon after, having created only three games.

Some time after SideLine's original 1996 release it received a very limited western release in Poland. A company called Union Systems localized the game with Mirage Software publishing it. The print run was only 3000 (or possibly as little as 1500) copies. Though the companies contacted other publishers hoping to release it elsewhere as well, nobody was interested. The Sony Playstation was released just a short while earlier and mainstream gaming had little interest in the "old-fashioned" 2D shooting games that were so prevalent in the Super Nintendo and Megadrive/Genesis days. The game was left to obscurity, known only to few.

16 years after the game was first released a Spanish online blog Retro Maniac Magazine wrote an article about the game's demo version, leaving many wondering if the game's full version would ever surface. Some months after that the Polish release was indeed found and many gamers were finally able to try the game out for the first time. A recent interview to the same online blog sheds a bit more light into EMAG's story. The company also has an official Facebook group now.

In October of 2013 we received permission from the game's producer Jiun-Ming "Jimmy" Hwang to distribute SideLine's original version as long as no profit is made for it. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
