Seven: Days Long Gone.

I guess it's sorta like an isometric/birds-eye-view doosex/thief, the opening area/tutorial is really subpar and turned me away twice. I've never seen anyone discussing it, released with a big "meh" and then quickly forgotten. It's not an RPG despite advertising itself as such. If you like stealth games, give it a try. Has very good controls, probably some of the best for birds-eye-view style games.

Recent reviews mention issues launching it(has mostly negative), but I didn't have any issues.

I'm not even a fan of stealth games and I enjoy it.
Also, I bought it for about a quarter.

Seven i s 95% off, so if it sounds like something you'd enjoy at all you should grab it.
I've recommended this before, it went under everyone's radar and is very good.

It's one of those immy-simmy games imo. Just stick with it past the tutorial and it gets a lot better.

Open world stealth isometric action rpg....tells me absolutely nothing about the game. Devs who use these terms should be banned. A proper description would be, you are theifman, skulking around the wastelands of whocaresville stealing stabbing and sucking anything that gets in your path.

Is this the one made for the Apple II that has the very annoying blurry filter?

Tweed wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2024, 02:55

No, that's Nox Archaist and all Apple II games have chromatic aberration.

Also the fact the games are likely just a rom wrapped in a shitty, proprietary emulator (or a poorly optimized freeware one) and will run like ass.

I am a paypig, but not even I see a point purchasing these kind of products, unless the devs went the extra mile to include additional features and goodies.

Yeah such a shame. I remember I had the GOG version of gate of doom and it was completely broken. Returned it.

But the really sad part is, and I am being sincere here as I grew up with these games as a teen, is that a lot of the games in this series are fantastic and they deserve better than this horrible developer. The Johnny Turbo releases (same dev) were also shockingly bad on Switch, and they ruined the PC ports as well.

It's almost insulting to an overall very memorable arcade dev like Data East.

NO dip switch settings, NO rewind (ok that's a cheat so can live without that), NO speed toggles, NO sharp pixel mode, NO custom control configuration - the list goes on. Why on Earth won't they update them?

The last video I saw on the matter basically summed it up as "great games, lazy emulation porting".

They could fix these still to this day and put them in one nice say 39.95 package for the lot and actually sell well.

Toaplan have changed the bar with their releases, the features are truly incredible and they play flawlessly in every single way and want for nada. Johnny Turbo or whatever you call yourself these days, take the lesson and the hint.

Port works fine, but the video options are trash.

You get TWO OPTIONS.

CRT Shader or none in which the later looks blurred due to bilinear filtering.

Would it have been that hard to give us the option of raw pixels?

Refunded.
