Back in the early 90s, here in the UK, a company called Cheetah produced licensed joysticks based on Batman, Terminator, Alien³ and The Simpsons. They looked great but they were terrible to use, especially the Alien³ model which I really liked but was incredibly uncomfortable. I never bought one, just tried then on the shops, awful things.
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? 😁
I was a sucker for these fmv games back in the day. The more CDs the game came on the better. Bonus for lots of recognisable actors too.
Here's a couple I posted a while back.
I discovered this after giving up on the BBC weather app because it wants me to sign in.
It's been really good, I love the details and it's been getting regular updates. Recommended.
Maybe it's a strong case of nostalgia but a first person Indiana Jones game doesn't feel right. But on the flip side, if it was a true third person game, people would complain that it's a clone of Uncharted and Tomb Raider despite Indy being the original.
I have mixed feelings which make me happy as I don't have an Xbox. 😁
As a UK resident, I only know about these because Bill and Ted used some to repair the phone booth time machine.
Jerboa is created by the developers of Lemmy.
The only one that I remember is,
How can you tell when an Essex girl has had an orgasm?
She drops her packet of crisps.
Seems a bit rubbish now I've typed that out. 😆
What the article didn't mention, and it says in the video, Alien: Resurrection was possibly going to be a multi cd game at one point and the dev was experimenting with the code to get that working.
Have an upvote from me. I dumped pocket and started using this instead. It's simpler, cleaner and easier to use. I also reported a web page that wouldn't save properly, it was just an URL without any header or text.
Within about 48 hours, after reporting the link, it saved as a proper page of text. I like to think they fixed it.
I'll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.
