If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.

The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!

I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

Click bait websites must love news stories like this.

“OMG!! Zelda movie delayed!!”

Then you read the article and tut because the truth is, they’ve pushed it back a few weeks. Hardly news.

Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He’s only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.

I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.

I like what the poster is trying to do, but my eyes instantly see three “photoshop” layers. Scarlett Johansson, the dinosaur and the waterfall background.

Yeah, I like the idea that RetroDeck is a single concise package that may not have the latest emulators but they are stable.

I’m also ordering an SD card because I just want to keep the ROMs separate from the main deck games.

Thank you for these posts, a friend shared a link and I’ve spent this Sunday morning browsing over the past few weeks of information. I really like the writing style, it’s enjoyable to read.

I’ve just ordered a SteamDeck myself and have more free games on Epic and GOG than my steam library (2 titles!). So it will take me a while to get up to speed onto how to get access to those libraries and get started in emulation.

Well, that was a given really. I have high hopes for this!

I’m not a fan of these longer three minute trailers, but I couldn’t stop watching, this looks like fun. At least everything is out of context and I have no idea what’s going on!

Another one? Hasn’t Cameron mapped out about five in total? :-)

So it’s an English web page advertising a book that’s only available in German, Spanish, Italian, and French. Damn, I was going to order one.

Here’s the poster.

This might work, it might not. Didn’t Hasbro licence out their board games for movie adaptations, thats how we got Battleships. I remember this because I’m sure someone bought the film rights for Monopoly.
