Hello Charlie!! (JP)
What am I seeing here?
⭕ ❌ If this is all new to you, check out our EXPLAINER on memory cards, icons, and gaming history! 🔺 🟥
Original PlayStation memory card icons are really small — only 16 pixels square! That’s awfully tiny for today’s screens so I’ve created 2 versions of each icon: one at 32 pixels that is closer to the original size and a much larger one at 256 pixels
FUN FACT
Just a truly bizarre product all around. For starters, it was the sole video game produced by the noteworthy visual effects house, Rhythm & Hues. Around the same time that they were winning an Academy Award for their work on Babe — and dazzling audiences with special effects in The Nutty Professor, Batman & Robin, and The Faculty — they seemingly just decided to try making a video game and turned out Eggs of Steel: Charlie’s Eggcellent Adventure.
Possibly as you might expect from a studio who had never made a game before, everything feels odd here; from physically navigating the Options menu to the awkwardly low, fixed isometric perspective. And that’s to say nothing of the game’s absurdly British style of humor. It’s quite a mess but there’s something delightful nowadays about it. I need to spend more time with it
