Well, that certainly beats Duke Nukem’s record!

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.

Back in the day, I bought the official Xbox360 steering wheel. It made me laugh because it was called wireless. It was only wireless between itself and the Xbox. It still needed a power brick to drive the motor and another wire to connect it to the pedals.

When I sold it, I almost made my money back because it was in high demand. MS had replaced it with that awful U shaped steering wheel that you held in the air like a Wii controller. It used sensors to tell when it was tilted. I never used one but the reviews weren’t favourable as I remember.

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. 😊

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

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!

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.

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.

Corrected. 👍

Thank you, I’ll give that a go.

I don’t think they have their open official app but they offer their API free to developers I think.

I’m on Android and I’ve been through several TMDB apps but I don’t really like any of them. I do know that Letterboxd use their API as well but that’s a more social based thing.

Same program, the developer changed the name. 😊

If you like NewPipe but want your videos to skip the annoying bits, there’s a fork called Tubular that incorporates SponsorBlock.

Having used PowerAmp since Android 1.5, I switched to Musicolet last year and it does the job just as well. It’s not open source but it proudly claims that it has no network permissions, so it cannot send any data anywhere.

Even though I paid for Nova years ago, I went back and downloaded a modded version of 7.0.58, the last version before they were bought out and the code was changed.

I really wanted to like Lawnchair but I always end up back with Nova. It does exactly what I want it to.

This was the first computer I ever played on, it was at my cousin’s house. I was convinced there was a loop of film in the cartridge but couldn’t figure out how that would work with player interaction.

When my cousin got a screwdriver and opened the cartridge to reveal a couple of black chips on a circuit board, my mind was blown.

Here’s a couple I posted a while back.
