I see what you mean. They could only afford so many lines of dialogue! 😆

13 years old, isn’t it enough? 😆

I was really excited for this on the Cube back in the day but all the reviews said it was another average Star Wars game so I decided not to risk the money.

When can we get Rogue Squadron remastered? That still looks pretty damn good today. 😊

The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he’s a gun nut. They’re videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek. GAME took over EB in the UK. I don’t think they’re any dedicated gaming shops anymore, just independents.

Then basically there’s no point in this shop existing anymore. They’re basically toy stores now.

I occasionally look in Game but can’t remember the last time I actually bought anything. It would’ve been a pre-owned title anyway.

Is Electronics Boutique still going? 😁

Here a crazy idea! If you’re interested in a film or TV show, watch it. I don’t understand the premise behind rotten tomatoes, especially when this kind of thing goes on.

Took me completely by surprise that Campbell narrated the game and honestly, that kept me going.

I normally listen to heavy metal, rock maybe nerdcore rap. The other night, I was alternating between the albums of Natalie Imbruglia and Melanie Chisholm. There’s some good stuff in there.

I saw such a device on Instagram. I think it was a Bluetooth connection from the computer diagnostic port to the phone.

The app takes this data and makes the right noise based on engine revs. The app was full of different engine sounds both real and fictional along with silly noises such as farting.

I can’t afford / ever buy games brand new. I’ll wait for a sale as well, maybe when it’s more reasonable, like £30ish.

I remember games being really hard (or I’m just crap) back in the home micro 8bit days. Then I watch play throughs on YouTube and discover if you figured out what to do, the game could be completed in under an hour!

Quite enjoyed these first two episodes. Bit annoyed that Carrie Ann Moss got killed in the opening moments, though.

However, my nitpicking got the better of me (blame autism, I do!). A fire burning on the hull of a ship. OK. The second nitpick was when the Jedi was on the lookout with his binoculars from the 1st floor balcony. When it changed to the POV shot, the footage is quite clearly filmed from the ground.

But apart from that, I enjoyed the fights and the story is quite good so far. Hopefully the quality remains constant to the end.

The Blue Shift expansion definitely was released onto the internet, but the loading times put me off playing the game.

I swear I downloaded and played Half Life for the DC back when I had the machine. I think it was Blue Shift which was originally going to be on the DC first (as an exclusive?).

It was perfectly fine to play but I guess due to hardware limitations, the areas in which you played weren’t that large and loading times off the CD was quite slow.

Another great video from Neil. I will visit the museum one day. That is a beautiful looking machine, especially the keyboard. I was very surprised to find out it was only a 286.

That’s exactly what the Amstrad version was that was released in the UK. A 386 PC with a MegaDrive on an extension card.

I’m so nerdy, I imported the official Malaysian VideoCD of The Phantom Menace. It was more of a collectors thing. The 4:3 mpeg video wasn’t great but it did allow me to play around editing the film.

I edited together the light saber sequences from Duel of the Fates into one clip. Two things were revealed. Because the film cuts away to other battles, edited together the fight doesn’t naturally flow.

Secondly, once edited together, that’s not a lot of actual lightsabering going on in terms of time iirc.

EDITED: I Should proof read after swiping out my long text with Google keyboard!

I’ll never forget that moment in the game when it felt like you were bending and stretching a spring.

If you goto Open Fodder, you can download an open source port of Cannon Fodder. It contains all the demo and special versions that were released. If you want to play Cannon Fodder the full game, you need to supply the PC or Amiga data files.
