Conquests of the Longbow was released in 1991 (so it wasn't the 80s) and that game was in no shape or form designed for kids. If kids did play it, that was a failure on their parents' part, just the same as if they'd played the LSL games or even today even some stupid parent or grandparent buys thei...

Actually, I meant the original X-Men animated series in the 90s. I haven't seen X-Men 97 since Maia and I stopped our subscription to Disney+ a little while back.

But the rest of the show... I really didn't like the thick lines used for the characters. It was more the light and shading that turned me off. All the characters looked there was a constant "shine" (for lack of a better term) on them or their outfits. It made for a somewhat strange and v...

Of all these, the "Pope Simulator" looks like it has the most taste. (Not that it's much of a competition). :roll: I imagine some Catholics might have an issue with it, but depending on how it's done, it could either be something of a learning experience (both good and bad) or something t...

As long as it's a hypothetical TV show, I have a name that'll sell it: A Game of Popes . ;) You joke, but someone is actually developing a game called Pope Simulator . Why? Because people are weird, that's why! People have created all sorts of nonsense, such as Toilet Simulator , Grass Simulator , ...

I'm sad to see this game being rated "Weak" on GOG, despite the fact that there are only two (yes, TWO) negative reviews out of eight. (Wait, what?) Well, two reviews out of eight is not an insubstantial percentage. Regardless, this is a very niche game: it's a 3D recreation of a very old...

I prefer the second box, although I think the first box (the weird one with the kids) was released first because that's the one I had.

Um ... is there that much difference between all these? *shrug* They are all the same, except different background colours for the words "King's Quest VI: HEIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW. ROBERTA WILLIAMS. SIERRA." So ... I really can't see that much of a choice. Did you read the subject? Which...

Did anyone else notice that Graham, in these images, is *very* tanned? Especially in the gray box. He's nowhere near as tanned in the game itself. Early game covers, whether they were PC or console, had artwork that rarely portrayed the actual game accurately. At least Graham isn't shown wearing a ...

Funny you should bring this up, Tawm. I just noticed that Steam are having a sale ... on Mortal Kombat 1. :P MK1 on Steam Sheesh. I'm old enough to still remember playing Mortal Kombat 1 -- back in the days of a four-armed Goro, and when the Big Bad was Sheng Tung. With VGA graphics, no less! :D (*...

On a sidenote, why does the presenter's haircut and T-shirt immediately remind me of the 80s? :D The only way that could be any more 80s is if the backing music was "The Transformers Theme", played softly on a synthesiser. Either that, or Europe's "The Final Countdown". Or any o...

Yeah, I would, but you might need to give a few more clues.

The funny thing is I rewrote that at least five times. I really didn't want to hurt Rath's feelings, but at the same time I was definitely a bit irate.

Hmm. I don't think I experienced this "double distribution service" thing before. Do you own any games that require a separate company-owned digital distribution service, like UPlay? If not, then that's why. FYI, the EA App is apparently the successor to Origin, EA's previous Steam-wannab...

The definition you found is for graphics that are purposefully made to be high-poly or low-poly based on usage. I'm talking about older 3D models that might've been considered high-poly at the time, but today are eyesores. For instance, GK3. Those graphics weren't amazing even back then, but they lo...
