Cosmic Payback on the Spectrum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlTiwhYopvE&t=254s

That pseudo 3D effect is rather cool!

So... that Grand Theft Auto 6 leak... why Trig? Why?

Post by **The Robotic Anomaly** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 9:12 am

I'm not sure why anyone would leak GTA 6 in that state
What's the point

Post by **dng** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 11:18 am

Maybe they're going to stick it on early access

The only GTA game I've ever truly enjoyed is Turbo Espirit by Durell Software.

I just finished Super Mario Galaxy. I am up with the times. It was good! I liked it enough to get all 120 stars and watch the "secret ending". But now I need to revert to type and play a game about grief made by three depressed people to balance the scales

i mean honestly whats the point

Post by **dng** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:13 pm

turned leon from bowie to barrowman somehow

Post by **vom** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 3:14 pm

they look... good? don't they? I'm still not sure what the point is really though

Post by **dng** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 4:19 pm

but they look different. things should never change

Post by **dng** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 4:19 pm

especially not from bowie to barrowman

Post by **endar** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 5:58 pm

i hope Ashley is even more annoying

Post by **dng** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 6:04 pm

I can't even remember what "sexy spanish man" even contributes to the plot any more

Post by **dng** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 6:05 pm

as he just looks a bit like harry maguire now i assume it's bumbling incompetence

Post by **vom** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:00 am

he gets killed by a huge tentacle

Post by **vom** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:00 am

Harry Maguire I mean

Post by **vom** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:05 am

VAR check, tentacle escapes with a yellow card

The little duke man doesn’t even have a hat now

Post by **Pual** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:34 am

Presumably hats are beyond the capabilities of modern graphics cards

Post by **dng** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:06 am

But that hat's his entire personality

Post by **dng** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:06 am

He better still have a huge statue of himself

Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:18 pm

I wonder if the jetski survived

Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:20 pm

I've been playing Gedonia

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1114220/Gedonia/

Which is a sort of messed up one-man RPG thing, and is brilliant. I've been roleplaying a weasely man that grasses up people to the local authority whenever the opportunity arises.

Post by **Pual** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:39 pm

Sounds fun. Added to wish list to buy when on sale and then never play.

Post by **vom** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 1:26 pm

I've been playing Tunic. It's much harder than I expected, the boss fights are brutal. Pretty good though.

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:34 pm

It's the Dragon 32's 40th birthday to-day. Hurrah!

Post by **dng** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:08 pm

hooray

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 7:53 pm

So my Mom flicked on shopping channel QVC, where they were flogging shoes or summat, and you know what the presenter Chloe Everton mentioned? Her playing JetPac on the ZX Spectrum! It was a real WAIT WHAT? moment! The co-presenter/stylist mentioned Pac-Man, and it was that that led onto the presenter describing/naming JetPac, and the computer she played it on. Respec' is due!

but not a hundred and ten pounds quite like this

after being on sale for three days, these are now sold out and cost 220 pouns second hand. hooray for the modern computer game industry/market

If only Acorn had got it to market on time, things might've been very different.

Lovely stuff!

I played Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide game with my brother, and because we both knew the source material, we enjoyed it. Have to admit though, I preferred the simpler/more basic adventures like Twin Kingdom Valley, Velnor's Lair, etc.

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:32 pm

The new ps5 (rrp: £479) vr headset is going to cost £529

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:32 pm

You could probably buy some mushrooms from sainsburys for less than that

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:33 pm

Anyway I don't think I can afford video games any more

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:34 pm

I wonder if they even make vr helmets big enough for gargantuan heads like mine

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:34 pm

Luckily I will never know

Post by **endar** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 11:26 pm

I have never seen a PS5 as low as £479

Post by **endar** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 11:27 pm

more like £600, and the xbox series x like £800

fuuuuuuuuuuuck ooooooooffffffffff

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 12:38 am

If you don't own both a PS5 AND a VR headset, then you're not a true gamer!!!!111

Post by **dng** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 1:28 pm

i've genuinely never seen a new ps5 or xbox whatever for sale in a shop

Post by **endar** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 1:43 pm

They're only available digitally

Post by **dng** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 6:26 pm

the worst possible place to be available

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 1:52 am

I've had a bit of a think, and I reckon the telly people ought to make a reality TV series centred around making shoot em ups using SEUCK.

I'm sorry for quoting something from a week or two ago, but that's Fred Harris narrating that bit of documentary footage of Infocom!

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 3:49 pm

Indeed it is!

Lovely fred harris
