A Player's Guide to Neutopia II (Video Games & Computer Entertainment #47, Dec. 1992)

[chororine]

in June 2012 I befriended a fellow Futurama fan who shipped Fry with Zapp - a pairing I found unexpected yet intriguing. three years later I started dating that fan, and nine years on I've met him in person twice. one of those times I got to eat chicken nuggets with him and I can't wait to do it again

happy 9th anniversary, @zappsbrannigan ❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️

Neutopia (TG-16 Mini)

Neutopia is often accused of being a naked clone of The Legend of Zelda, and that's fair because it more or less is. But it's a pretty good naked clone of The Legend of Zelda, one that I think is another solid example of how the early PC Engine library often felt like 8-bit designs in 16-bit clothes. That's not a vibe I dislike. Sometimes giving a simple, straightforward design some colorful graphics and fancier audio is good enough. Neutopia is a million miles away from A Link to the Past in terms of its place in the evolution of action-adventure games, and I think that's fine. Charming, even.

Anyway, some evil fellow named Dirth or somesuch is causing trouble in the realm. He's absconded with the princess and everything. You're... I want to say you're Jazda. Let me check that. No, you're Jazeta. I was close. Anyway, you're Jazeta. You have to rescue the princess and defeat Dirth, and the only way to do that is to first collect the eight stolen medallions of wisdom and power that are each conveniently located in their own dungeon somewhere in the world. I know, it feels like they didn't even bother filing off the serial numbers here.

Anyone who has played the original The Legend of Zelda will know how to proceed here. Scour the map for dungeon entrances, talk to cave-dwellers for tips, battle monsters, buy or find useful items that will give you access to more locations, bomb all suspicious walls, burn all suspicious trees, push all suspicious blocks. Battle the bosses at the end of each dungeon, collect your goober, get a health meter upgrade, and head to the next one. There aren't a lot of new ideas here, and the execution isn't quite as good as that of The Legend of Zelda in a few key categories, but it works. I enjoy this game.

It wouldn't be too much longer before PC Engine owners would have more interesting options for this kind of game, but all things considered Neutopia is alright. It's not an original game in the least, but it's not trying to be. It's just filling a gap, and it's doing so at a decent level of quality. It's a game I'll happily recommend, but with the caveat that one must keep in mind it's far closer to the original The Legend of Zelda than to its 16-bit installment. And hey, it's better than Golden Axe Warrior. Yes, I fired those shots. Bye!

Hi! I like your work! is posible request some Zapp/Fry stamps?? If you aren't comfortable then some Fem!Fry ones (from Neutopia episode), thank you so much! Have a lovely day ;;

[FUTURAMA - FEM FRY: STAMPS] + 1 Zapp/Fry

pls credit if you use

best seen on dark mode

Thanks so much! I got pretty much every shot of fem Fry from the episode, but she was really treated like a background character so not all the shots are that great. I'd also be happy to make more of Zapp/Fry I just couldn't find much. If you have a reference to an episode with some good stuff feel free to request some more and I'll see what I can do.

Gonna probably work on this and dungeon explorer ii to finally wrap up my turbo for a bit and get the Saturn out again

[thesoftboiledegg]

I couldn't find the original post, but a blogger on here wasn't wrong when they said that the first Hulurama episode would probably be about NFTs. It took a season to get there, but Futurama's finally skewering the digital graphics that inexplicably became an online phenomenon.

I'm not against Futurama making fun of topical issues--season four's "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV" brilliantly skewered demands for sanitized television, and (unpopular opinion), I thought "Rage Against the Vaccine" was one of Hulurama's best episodes.

However, "The One Amigo" didn't have anything new to say. The writers just rehash what most people are thinking: NFTs are weird and goofy and make no sense. Like "How the West Was 1010001," a thin parody of modern technology is the framing device for a more interesting plot.

But Bender's trip to Mexico isn't anything mindblowing, either. His family interactions are cute, and I love the vibrant, colorful scenery, but the story is pretty basic. Bender thinks he found a group of friends, they betray him, he escapes, and...that's it. The crew's museum heist is another cliche, although I appreciate their concern for Bender.

One of the Comedy Central run's flaws was making the characters cold and uncaring for the sake of unfunny one-off gags. I love how Hulurama's been leaning into the "found family" aspect and making Kif and Amy's kids part of the main cast instead of forgetting that they exist. Fry drawing at the kids' table is adorable, too!

Speaking of Fry: he's increasingly turning into a side character, to the point that it seems like the writers are actively avoiding giving him lines. Billy West is a great actor, but Fry's starting to sound gravely, so I wonder if he can't sustain the voice for very long.

Anyway, "The One Amigo" isn't bad. It's nowhere near the Comedy Central disasters like "Yo Leela Leela," "Neutopia" or "The Butterjunk Effect." The writing is funny, well-paced and has a little heart. You can always count on great art and animation.

But I probably wouldn't watch this if it didn't have Futurama's name attached--and man, after all these years, the theme song still gives me instant nostalgia. I hear it and start thinking about watching episodes from the original run. Still, instead of dwelling on the series' past, I wish I had more optimism about its future.
