A feature from Computer & Video Games issue 220 (March 2000), showing just how much retro gaming gear you could get for the price of a brand new Dreamcast and a game. That SNES bundle looks truly spectacular, and we'd be made up to get a Saturn and Burning Rangers for £55 now. What do you all think?

Happy St George' Day!

Big Fish Games still owe me $3700 of incorrectly withheld taxes and their royalty dept doesn’t respond to me. Does anyone have a senior contact there who can help? I tried messaging their president on LinkedIn but got no reply. Thx and please share.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

It's shameless promotion time! We have an EU, JP, and US code for X-Out Resurfaced up for grabs on your choice of Switch, PS5 or PC. Just repost this or become a new ININ follower during this promo period. We'll pick a winner from each territory in three days from now!

Fascinating 🤗

The Astro Bot PS5 console bundle went out of stock near me - but I went to ask the staff in one shop anyway (in case they had some stock out back). One asks over their radio "do we still have any of that nintendo PS5 astro box bundle" :D

it was darn hard work getting this game finished during the lockdowns etc - but we did it! The game programmer (Gabor) did an amazing job making sure it would all fit into Vita in one load too :D

Worked it out, it was - The Mouse on the Moon!

Trying to remember old film from poss 60s or 70s, where some home made rocket travels very slowly to the moon (bubble power?). Not 1st men on the moon

Bone lights! Wondering if this was intentional?

Potential art-book/project thread! Please read below!! 👇👇 Can i first ask that you please retweet and comment your thoughts on this? I need as many eyes on this as possible to gauge if its a viable side project worth pursuing! RETROGRADE - A catalogue from from a future that never was!

Very cool (and potentially exciting) result! And a good reminder that if (/when?) extraterrestrial life is discovered, it will most likely be just like this: a weird chemical balance in an exoplanet atmosphere, seen via some wiggly lines in a spectrum, subject to extensive expert debate. 👽🧪

The Nova Drift OST is (possibly) coming to Vinyl and CD! Get notified when the kickstarter campaign starts next month: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mil... - BioVinyl instead of dino-vinyl - Tracks chosen by backers - Plenty of digital-only rewards - Hell yeah

Ah poops, nah am out again. Have to do long stretches without save points, and then died by hot steam vent :( Might retry later with mouse aiming, as too often die fighting against the controls

My GDC talk on tabletop design in UFO 50 is now online! 🙏 Thanks to @trentkusters.bsky.social & @mossmouth.bsky.social for helping with the talk & to @officialgdc.bsky.social for hosting & not paywalling it 💬 I'll try to answer any questions in this thread 🔗 gdcvault.com/play/1035154...

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

Faces faces everywhere

Am not thirsty but the graphics compel me to purchase...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Turns out the self-styled ‘anti-woke’, Trump- excusing, free speech patriots don’t actually care about: a) free speech b) the rule of law c) the Constitution d) being hypocritical weapons grade dicks

STOP what you are doing, find some headphones or a secluded location, and watch this. I am crying with laughter and admiration at an idea seen through to its (nearly) bitter end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD3Q... Sound--as they say--on.

Restarted in EASY mode and it's mucho better. But the whole collect pickup=alien spawn is still happening a lot. It's more of a jump scare when something doesn't spawn :)

What's the most technically impressive Spectrum game you've played and why? Some answers will appear in the magazine.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Air quality in Paris - 2007 to 2025 Amazing what can be achieved by investing in bike lanes, 30km/h (18mph) speed limits and traffic free zones The red lines in the final graphs are the ring roads

Ahem

Am trying out Alien Resurrection (PS1) again. Bought it on release but never got too far - even had PS1 mouse for easier aiming. The environments are pretty cool, but am now on a Call section trying to release an escape pod and pretty much every pickup spawns an alien immediately after :/

Her book (“Careless People”) is SO GOOD. It is funny. It is horrifying. Not least about this👇 The company denying it was a deliberate strategy, whilst one of the senior Australian sales people were saying they actually hyped this sort of activity as a positive sales pitch.

Aha, worked it out, it was By Dawn's Early Light

Anyone remember a movie (80s?) which may have been about ww3 about to start, and at some point (poss the end) a plane crashes into one full of war hungry politicians, with both pilots aware of what they are doing to stop nuclear disaster

Happy birthday to peak retrogaming collector, #BanjoKazooie enthusiast and friend @samniisan.bsky.social ! Already three years have gone by since I made a PC Engine chiptune cover of @grantkirkhope.bsky.social ’s Atlantis Theme as a gift. 🧩 youtu.be/YiefjRyLI8U
