Titanic (2005, Famicom)
Dec. 26th, 2021 09:26 pm83 days until the vernal equinox
Titanic is an actual game, which is a bit more impressive than decompiling some shovelware and replacing the sprites of Speedy Gonzales with Sonic or Darkwing Duck with Mega Man or Chester Cheetah with a banana in pajamas.
南晶科技 is a fragment of the company that made this game, 深圳市南晶科技有限公司.
2005 is the year this game came out. JonTron criticized this game for being two generations out of date but JonTron’s political and racial beliefs are two generations out of date. So fuck you.
There are no less than three Chinese NES games based on the 1997 movie Titanic. This Prince of Persia-esque platformer I’m playing. The beat-em-up that only works on OpenEmu for whatever reason. And a JRPG called Titanic 1912, in which the Titanic is apparently invaded by giant alien insects from beyond the stars.
There’s Titanic Mystery: Ao no Senritsu, which was made in 1987 and therefore has fuckall to do with the movie. Next year's Twelve Day of Wonky Roms? Yes. 1985 was when they discovered the wreck and found that they had zero chance of ever raising it.
There's Titanic, a hack of the game SOS by the same Peruvian team responsible for Bananas In Pajamas and Sonic The Hedgehog 4. I might play SOS next year.
There’s Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, which is really quite good.
There's Titanic: Honor and Glory, the nuclear fusion or possibly Iranian nuclear weapons program (it would seem that Zeno of Elea is alive and well and running the Iranian nuclear program) of Titanic games.
There’s apparently a fanfic out there in which Bella and Edward of Twilight and Jack and Rose switch places. But seriously, just give Edward a snorkel and toss him in the ocean. Have him walk to Canada.
Because this is Chinese for ants, I can only attempt to translate this. Because the internet is becoming increasingly hostile to desktop users, I can't just give Google Translate an image and get a translation. I can't tell what the second word is and neither can Google Translate's handwrite.
Yandex has that feature but it's not great at Chinese. Something somethindg unsinkable cruise ship. Something something maiden voyage without an end. Something something pair of men and women who fell in love on the journey. Something something a crisis is coming, you need to escape from the sky... huh.
The second sentence seems to be something like "the end of its maiden voyage" Third sentence is roughly " on the journey, a man and woman in love," Opportunity and danger, yep, that's crisis all right. A crisis is coming, you need to escape.
And we get a glorious (?) rendition of My Heart Will Go On. That song was everywhere in 1997. Kenny G covered it. Even had a version with quotes from South Park during the instrumental portions. I have no idea why that exists. I think it was one of those things that was circulating around AOL along with snd files of Barney meets Doom at the time. I don’t even know if the version that includes sound clips from the movie throughout was put out by the record company.
I agree with James Cameron. Too much gravitas for a cheesy pop song. It’s no Kiss Me Goodbye.
The computer game had better music and that’s because it tried to be authentic. And even included some Chopin. The music in the Café Parisienne evokes Kabalevsky to me.
Which is bullshit, of course, as Kabalevsky was 7 years old when the ship sunk. Maybe it’s because I was playing Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis at the time.
Which also had Chopin.

burning question: a touch of the mal de mer, was it?
