This review was originally written by me back in 2016. Now the yard is already 2023, which means that for the entire 7 years it has passed since then … I have become older, my views on life have changed and I re -read my creation again. Frankly – I have not experienced such a cring for a long time … building proposals, punctuation, presentation itself, all this made my eyes hurt. But since during this time I never stopped love this game, I pulled myself together and decided to rewrite everything. And yes, I will say right away – my tastes are very specific, you most likely do not understand. This is my most-most beloved game, so continuous subjectiveness awaits you ahead. However, this is not a reason to miss her and I sincerely ask you to at least get acquainted with her. This blog will be conditionally divided into 2 parts. To begin with, I will tell you about how I got acquainted with the game and what I went to to play it, and then I will go to a full -fledged remake. Well, let’s get!
I don’t remember the exact date, but it was winter-spring 2003. It was still snowing on the streets. We went with my father to Kaluga for DreamCast games. After several hours of walking throughout the city, we went to the last store, after which we had to go home, regardless of whether we buy something or not. And eagerly devouring her eyes, I came across a cover on which there were 3 men and a woman, with guns in her hands. I asked the seller to get a disc of the window and began to study it. Looking at the pictures from the box and having read the description, I thought it was a Counter-Strike, but only for a home console, and not for PC. In those distant times, everyone just went crazy 1.6 and conversations were only about her. Since I did not have a computer then, and I dreamed of joining this movement and being in the subject, I by hook or by crook persuaded my parent to buy this game for me and after a few minutes of whining, he still agreed. I examined the pictures from the disk all the way home and re -read the description. By the way, the game was with a translation from Kudos and it was written about the fact that we are a special department for the fight against terrorism, in service with us a rocket launcher, a machine gun, clearly borrowed from the tank’s tank and photon rifles, and I expired with saliva representing all this in my head.

Having reached the house, I flew into the apartment, undressing right in the air. Finally, I inserted the coveted disc into the console and after the epic intro, in which a huge man shoots from a minigan into the screen, I was disappointed-this was not the same Counter-Strike … I, upset, played a couple of hours without any enthusiasm and turned off Drimkast. I did not immediately become a fanatic, and since then I was only 9 years old, I couldn’t even go through the game, it took me more than 3 months for it.
It came on June 25, and I’m sitting and trying to master the last boss. The time is almost half of the twelfth and I had to be in the summer camp for a long time. Sitting in front of the TV, I all sweated with tension and dodged after the movement of my character, almost falling off the stool. 10th attempt, 20th … all to no avail. And so, when I almost gave up, luck finally deigned to me and the final boss fell. I, screaming from euphoria, almost thundered in my pants, figuratively speaking. The final screensaver began and I stuck … quickly gathering, I ran to the camp for lunch and the rest of the day, and then a week, two, a month, she did not go out of my head. I was just delighted.
Who had Drimkasta knows what unreliable thing it is. For many, the reading heads were out of order, the joysticks stopped working for someone, and I had the destruction of the train leading to the head. Online stores then did not exist, at least in Russia, and locally find the desired train was simply an impossible task. This happened in the fall of 2003. And as I said above, because of the lack of spare parts, we failed to fix the prefix.
However, my very rich fantasy did not allow me to forget the game. We ran in the courtyard with machine guns, imagining that we are special forces and fight against terrorism;arranged various trials, scared into dilapidated farms;And I came up with various stories on the move, trying to surprise all friends. Absolutely everyone in my village knew about Outtrigger, but no one could play it.
Once I decided to see how nongamstopsites.uk/ Drimkast works from the inside. Having taken the instrument from my father and dismantling everything to the last screw, I realized that I could not collect Dreamcast back … But my father came from work admired my results, but also said that there was no idea how everything was arranged there and could not help. Having folded everything that was left of the console in the package, he removed it on the shelf, then promising to try to do something. As the saying goes: “The promised 3 years are waiting, and then they forget”, so the parent acted exactly the same, and Drimast continued to be diverse in this package.
After some time, I met a guy that I was 2 years older than me and who also had a Drim. And guess what? That’s right – he also broke with him, but he was able to fix him himself. After a short conviction, he agreed to take my spare parts and try to do something with them. By tradition, I again dreamed that I was about to plunge into this wonderful world of the trigger (as we call the game in abbreviation), but Fortune did not deign to me again. At the next meeting with this guy, he tried to avoid me and it was noticeable, and I, not understanding what was happening, moved to him ahead. It turned out that the guy was rather modest and did not want to upset me, which caused this behavior. With a little anxiety in his voice, he nevertheless said that when he collected everything and connected everything to the network, then something was closed and Dream burned out, and the black apartment was filled. I sighed, but nothing could be done anymore. Well, at least he himself remained, as they say.
Since I no longer had a drum, even in the form of spare parts, I decided to act differently. As you know, the children are very naive, so I believed with all my heart that since the game is “computer”, it should work on PC. I took the disk and went to the classmate who had a computer. We inserted the disk into the disc and it spun. In anticipation that now everything is about to work out, I bit my nails. However, except for 1 audio traffic, the PC did not recognize anything, and for a thousandth time I went home for a thousandth time. After that there were still many, many interesting stories, but I couldn’t play the next 4 years.
In the yard 2007. I went to my other classmate and oh miracle, he sits and tries to launch the game on Drimkasta. The console was yellow-heard, but it seemed like a working. Having pumped charisma and the gift of beliefs to the 100th level, I bargained the prefix for 300 ₽. Having brought Dream home, I also could not launch a single game and decided to find out the reason. Having removed the lid, I saw that there was not only this damned train at all here, there was no fan and half of all bolts.
Maybe I’m just cursed, you tell me, and it may already be worth forgetting and just live on? No – I will answer you. But I was already unable to help myself. My parents knew what trigger means to me and when I didn’t succeed again, they decided to intervene. After some time, the father, returning from work, brought the newspaper. Previously, if you wanted to buy something, you had to go to a newspaper kiosk and look for it in ads. Moreover, the newspaper was acquired only if the right announcement was there, otherwise it simply returned to the stall. In the newspaper that my father bought, it was precisely – an announcement of the sale of Sega Dreamcast.
You will laugh, but here a funny situation happened to me again. Having previously agreed with the seller on the phone and having received the address, my father and I went to Kaluga. Arriving at the address, we rested on the code castle from the entrance. There was no intercom. We started calling the mobile, but the seller did not pick up the phone. We waited a few minutes until one of the tenants returned home. Having penetrated the porch with it, we went to the right door and re -checked the address and number of the apartment with the record on the sheet, we called the call. A woman of deeply retirement age opened the door to us. “Hello!”I said. “We are about the announcement of the sale of Drimkasta”. The woman stood with her eyes wide open, not understanding what was happening. “What? What a nah*th drimkasta?” – she exclaimed indignantly. “We called the man, he called us this address. We specially asked him whether we recorded everything correctly. And here we are, ”I answered. In response to this, the woman sent us away and slammed the door. Shocked, we left the entrance.
After what happened, without liabening from the tube for about 15 minutes, I finally could get through to the seller. Briefly retelling the situation, I called him the address at which we arrived, to which we received the answer: “No, another address! You need this … “. The game that took place was not like a soul, she just stuck! Okay, we would confuse the number of the apartment or even at home, but to write down a completely different street, for this we need to be an absolute dumbass … But I was on my side, I needed Dream and I could not miss this chance.
The second time the address was true. We went into the apartment in which there were three strange types. Well, sooo strange type I would say. They pointed to a TV with a working console standing in the corner. I sat down, played for 2 minutes in something, told what happened to our prefix and gave the go-ahead to buy. They looked at each other, silently took the money and we left grabbing Dreamka with us. Perhaps because I was with my father, and I just have a huge closet, or maybe I was just lucky, the trigger knows him, but we were not injured.
After all this adventure that took us almost all day, with a smile on our face, we went to the station, bought tickets for the bus, and a new era was waiting for me at home – the era of trigger.
You someday tried playing games in split-screens on 4? When you are sitting side by lesion with best friends and when you lack only one point before victory, the kneading begins not only on the screen, but also in real life. And how many various hilarious situations were from which we neighing like horses … all these feelings cannot be conveyed in words, it must be tried yourself!
Since there were more than four of us to play everything, we did it in turn. The one who lost simply handed the joystick to the next player. Thus, I had a “mine” trigger stash at my place. We even have our own tournament for the title of emperor trigger, just like in the Middle Ages. By the way, I played and play better than all my friends, so they have additional motivation to pick up this title from me. However, in 20 years it was possible to do this only 2 times, and even then only to my cousin. As they say: – “We have it in the blood”.
In my student years, I even went to a friend to another city for 300 km to play with him (hello DreamCastfanPro!). Eh, there were times!
We loved this game so much that I ordered metal tokens to all my friends, on which the trigger logo flaunts on one side and their nicknames with the date of birth on the other. I was given an expensive handle with engraving in replacement. In addition, I have a trigger mug with a teaspoon, I bought all the versions of the game, except for the NAOMI cartridge, and the trigger eagle flaunts on the screensaver and a phone cover. What can I say, even my wife made me order a silver medallion with this eagle on my birthday. And now, so many years later, when I come to Kaluga, we are first going to and go to play Outtrigger.
This is my story that I wanted to tell you, you can finish. I was, is and will be a fan of this game. And maybe even someday, I will learn to program and make a remake of Outtrigger on a PC. I will play with friends on the network and enjoy life, but this is a completely different story ..
