I wouldn't say it changes EVERYTHING. It only saves at the beginning of the level. https://x.com/TristramNyles/status/640521784979255297
Both Prince of Persia games were designed to be finished in one sitting, so you only needed to save if you had something important going on

I don't find it old school. It's rather new. No dialogue, open world, etc. That's enough to make it new to me.
Very late last night I decided to watch one of my favorite Terry Gilliam movies
Everyone always talks about Johnny Depp's portrayal of Thompson, but it's Benicio Del Toro who delivers an incredibly real performance.
I wish Where the Buffalo Roam was a good movie, but it's not. Murray's performance is great through.
Replying to @demodulated
I feel that Murray's performance is a bit too grounded. He never seems to be affected by any drugs.
Replying to @demodulated
Yeah, sometimes he really looks & sounds just like Thompson. Too bad it's wasted on such a boring flick.
Replying to @demodulated
Depp plays Thompson as a caricature, which was very appropriate for his film, making his performance more memorable.
Replying to @SQHistorian and @demodulated
It's mostly the script. A strange decision to slap three books together, portray the attorney as a likeable hippie
Replying to @SQHistorian and @demodulated
and other things. It fails miserably, despite a few really funny scenes here & there.

Nope. Honestly the only unique FM Towns versions are LOOM™ and Zak. The rest are the same.

I'd like an option for traditional/easy controls in the new Dizzy game. In easy mode he doesn't roll & you can control him in the air.
I know that was pretty much the case in Crystal Kingdom Dizzy, but who really gives a shit about that one, right?
I hope the new Dizzy game is challenging. Dizzy without challenging platforming is pretty much The Cave.
Just pretty please don't turn Dizzy into a generic platformer.
I was always bummed out that Down the Rapids mini game was missing in 16 bit versions of Fanatic Dizzy
