Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

I know it's not the "official" game, but I've been playing some Ocarina of Time (1998) multi-world randomizers every now and then over the last couple years.

Would you elaborate on the multi-world part please? Is it additional modded areas or am I thinking too hard?

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So it is a program running in the program from Archipelago that can connect multiple randomizers together. You can have a friend playing a different randomizer somewhere else and you can send them item for their game and vise versa. Or you can run an a-synch on your own by doing everything you can in one game, and then swapping to another.

They have a list of compatible randos on their website, and I'd be willing to answer any other questions you have

Holy shit. So, like, the Link to the Past+Super Metroid randomizer on crack?

Edit: thats the impression I am getting from the site. That is absolutely amazing

Yeah, pretty much lmao!

Edit: They show it off at the Game Done Quick charities every year or so. Here is one that is Ocarina of Time and Kingdom Hearts II

That doesn't even make sense, and I don't know how I feel about. I appreciate the link, hopefully I will get a chance to check it out. Internet is real spotty here
