486

2 questions: why do i play it and why do i want more????

Cool retro experience, the game just forgot to be fun.

Good

This game is one of those you buy by accident, download occasionally and launch by miss click. I have no Idea how to describe experience from 486. You move your character (white box) in locations made in pretty and minimalistic ASCII style. Sometimes you get random encounters and fight weird 3D models of humans using one button. From these fights and some side activities you earn exp and money which can be used to buy items recovering health and stamina, vehicles to move faster and weapons to fight better. There are plenty of areas you can visit. Each of them has different difficulty of enemies and buildings you can enter to play minigames, buy something and so on. And... I don't know what to say here. This game looks and sounds like sh*tpost, but still somewhy from time to time I redownload it to enjoy ASCII picture and strange atmosphere. It is definitely not something you will play on daily, weekly or even monthly basis, but there actually IS something in this project. Worth byi...

486 is a retro-inspired RPG where you play as a square and many of the graphics are ASCII-based. As one of the few huge fans of Legend of the Red Dragon II as well as a connoisseur of sorts for ZZT and MegaZeux titles, it's definitely an interesting approach that brings back many fond memories. The game itself has a lot of sites to visit. The combat seems to be lacking sufficient randomness. While my hour of playtime is insufficient to have enough data to determine whether the variables are appropriately balanced, they did seem to need some tweaking (i.e. energy and movement speed specifically). This title was 28 cents well spent.

When I heard that Jared made a game, I had to pick it up due to supporting a friend and curiosity. And then I played it... This game doesn't hold your hand. It's that retro arcade play-style where there's no saving, no tutorial (aside from an in-game guide), and no remorse. Remember how it felt playing those old games and needing to start over many times to progress just a little farther. Everything can and will go wrong in an instant, so keep your wits about you. That said, I WILL get on the high score board. Bet.

This is the game ever. I have had this game on my wish-list for many years, yet I haven't been able to buy it because my REP (presumably short for reputation) and cash have simply been too low. Once this game went on sale for 24% off... I knew this was my chance. This game allowed me to experience all of the joys of life through the lens of a white cube. I experienced joy, sorrow, growing old, and throwing darts all from my home computer. For this, I am grateful. Thank you for changing my life forever with the game 486, Jared. I will fight many rounds in the robot riot to earn enough cash to gift this game to all of my friends and loved ones. My only complaints are the lack of controller support, the lack of VR support, and the persistent dungeon noises after I am released from jail.
