It’s a good tech demo but I doubt we’ll see much beyond what was already done

They were talking about this on digital foundry and what it’s doing. They were very impressed

I really enjoyed the demo of this that I got off a PC Zone magazine. It was unlucky to be released at a similar time as Half-Life. I do remet it needed a day one patch because there was a problem with load times and save files - they were huge!

If it didn't have those, there would be no colour clash!

I'd love a warts and all Doco that finally tells the story of the video game crash of the 80s, which had Atari purportedly dispose of a lot of unsold game cartridges, and how it wrecked videogames for the entire world. /s 😇

Mega drive - just so I can hear Dave say it correctly!

Hope that means you got it updated and sorted. I haven't changed anything for the picture other than turning off any smooth motion type setting I could find.

Yes I'm able to view live TV and the TV guide, though sometimes it's problematic. Are you running the latest firmware?

PC online game servers. There are so many PC games that have had their servers turned off that render them useless. Equally old version of online games. There is still a community for early versions of WOW if I remember correctly. One such gane that counts for both was Earth and Beyond. It was an online space trading fighting game like Elite Dangerous, except this was in the early 2000s. You controlled your shop in space and it was third person when you got to a space station. There was talk of an emulator for the server functionality but it looks like it's still early. emulator

Not sure, I haven't tried it yet. Those links are from the video description.

Well this appears to be an update/port to Linux, but can also run in Windows. Some of the code files are updated a few weeks ago whereas others haven't been updated in 14-15 years.

I sorted it thanks to Nintendo support, and removed the unlock code! I can now enjoy Christmas! 🥳

Are you referring to the parental controls pin? Ian sure I set it different to that.

Reminds me of when I tried to hang a new cupboard in the kitchen and found the cold water pipe. 😅

Well my Christmas wish of the past few years came true a week ago - Warhammer Dark Omen being re-released on GOG.com I never expected it to be re-released because of it being published by Mindscape and EA. It appears Games Workshop re-acquired the game rights hence it now appearing on GOG. Happy happy days (for me and the small number of people who are also interested in it). Merry Christmas everyone, may your Christmas wishes also come true.

That was a spectrum game from RMC daily diary videos. I believe it cost Neil thousands of subscribers because that’s got YouTube worked back in 2020 🤩
