I was curious, so I counted... only about 40% of the video games I like from 1983 to 1994 (157 of 337) are commercially available on modern platforms today, including the 3DS.

I need to do more research into the TMNT ripoffs Konami made arcade games for.

It's weird how it's both true that one person can make a video game and that international megacorps can collaborate in ways to effectively turn huge ultra-games into successful returns on investment.

I don't think about this often but it is wild how much Tencent Games owns. One investment company owns:

* a majority of Riot (League of Legends), Supercell (Clash Royale), Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile)
* a minority in: ActiBlizzard, Ubisoft, Epic (40%!), Paradox, Frontier Developments (Elite: Dangerous), and a lot of mobile game developers.

Picked up SFV AE at Wal-Mart for only slightly more than the underwear I also bought. \o/

"My Next Adventure"

With the move days away, I'm looking forward to what's in store in my new life & settling in to a community that has already welcomed me with open arms. So here's a little something to commemorate that.
Soon. 🐛❤️🇨🇦

Is it possible for me to invite a friend to awoo space?

(and horror games in general)

Tomb Raider might be the other example, since the restrictions on the ways you can move lead to spatial puzzle solving in the style of older cinematic platformers.

Does not work so well in Tenchu, Croc, various strafe-less FPSes...

Broke: the classic Resident Evil games are bad because they use tank controls

Woke: classic Resident Evil is one of the only series where the tank controls make things better and not worse

Whoops! I deleted those posts; apparently you can skip past the logos in Quake Champions after the medical warning.

It still takes me about a minute but that's load times...

birdsite schadenfreude 

LOL Twitter just suspended the official account of the late Robin Williams, who has been dead for four years

A curiosity: here's a list of MOBAs you can't play any more.
