Shufflepuck Cafe (Amiga) - A Playguide and Review - by LemonAmiga.com
103Shufflepuck Cafe. I remember having lots of fun playing this with the original Amiga mouse back in the 1990's. Today, Air Hockey Simulators are non existent. Perhaps this game made and then broke the mould?
Production Notes:
==============
Ripped: 7th May 2013 (match), and 1.April 2014 (rivals)
Started: 4 April 2014
Completed: 18 April 2014
Version: 3 Revision C
The first thing I noticed when viewing this back was my fatal error with the mouse. I have a mega DPI video pro-gamers mouse, with 4 dpi settings available at the press of a button. I totally failed to notice the mega fast speed and this affected my game. When it came to do the rivals I also forgot to press the button. I cannot believe I was blind to something so obvious! Of course the original Amiga mouse was a very low dpi ball mouse, so this fact should be simulated to play this game more effectively.
Anyway, as you can see by the dates above, my video pool is fairly dry and it took me until recently to get this anywhere near finished. This means I will have to take a break shortly to get back in front. Other footage will be provided in the meantime.
The important things to note on this video was the fact that a 'fan' had recently written in complaining of my constant babble, so I was keen to slow down the voice and not babble as much. This helped the review and gave it more breathing space, so no real harm done. The second thing to note is that this was narrated practically on the day I found out my estranged father had died back in January, and I used the familiar format to focus on something productive in between telephone calls and conversations with various family members. That's why the voice sounds that bit 'down'. But the therapy worked.
The video was returned to recently to add more captions to try to keep it punchy. I noticed I commented about the lack of crowd noise in the game, so I added a few shout balloons here and there. I also added some %s and messed around with the audio volumes. The video runs fairly quiet but with high volume it should sound about normal.
