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'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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!
