When I was a kid one of my favorite games on the Spectrum was Stop the Express. A very simple game.

 Sun Nov 01 14:50:15 +0000 2015

I think I like original Duke Nukem for the same reasons.

 Sun Nov 01 14:52:44 +0000 2015

Both games aren't technological marvels and are not very pretty to look at, the gameplay is limited, neither are inventive, BUT

 Sun Nov 01 14:53:30 +0000 2015

both games have responsive controls, a clear objective, a demand for skill and both are fun to play.

 Sun Nov 01 14:54:36 +0000 2015

Stop the Express is much more hardcore though. Essentially a memorization action game.

 Sun Nov 01 14:55:11 +0000 2015

I think it's great that Japanese version of Police Quest 2 is playable in English. Why would you want to miss out?

 Sun Nov 01 15:02:33 +0000 2015

I should probably point out that the Japanese version of Police Quest 2 wasn't made for IBM PC, but rather for NEC PC-98, so there's that.

 Sun Nov 01 15:21:57 +0000 2015

PC-98 had its own version of MS-DOS though.

It's pretty hilarious to see Ash vs. Evil Dead spark giant fan debates about the lore and rules of the series.

Firstly, the original ending is much in keeping with the rest of the series with Ash always getting screwed

 Mon Nov 02 13:29:59 +0000 2015

second, Evil Dead 4 was supposed to tag onto both endings and feature Ash in modern times as well as in the

So do 95 & 98. What, just because it's an expanded version of still essentially DOS it doesn't count anymore?

 Tue Nov 03 14:15:01 +0000 2015

It boots on top of another OS. It needs DOS to start http://win.com, BUT it doesn't need it afterwards.

execution is then split between the kernel & its own Windows version of http://command.com (forgot the name right now)

Norton Commander didn't, BUT Win 3.1 did

 Tue Nov 03 14:20:11 +0000 2015

Yes it was. It's still a separate OS. And you can rip it out & just use it without Windows, but 9X can't function w/o It

I never really liked Lost Highway, but also haven't seen it in a very long time. I think I'm gonna revisit it tonight.

 Wed Nov 04 01:58:32 +0000 2015

I love Mulholland Dr., like many do, because it doesn't have that alienating quality of Lost Highway. But both are justified by the plot.

 Wed Nov 04 02:01:10 +0000 2015

I've seen Lost Highway first, but I still love Mulholland more, even though in LH the twist is somewhat better executed.

 Wed Nov 04 02:31:17 +0000 2015

It's debatable. Lost Highway establishes everything from the beginning, while in Mulholland it's clearly tacked on, however

that way. But that's precisely why I don't find it enjoyable.

 Thu Nov 05 17:02:03 +0000 2015

I don't understand this. And not only it's dark, but it's recolored in teal almost completely. I don't like this trend.

 Thu Nov 05 17:11:48 +0000 2015

You spelt "great" wrong

 Thu Nov 05 17:12:07 +0000 2015

even three Evil Dead show is all orange & teal. Such a shame.

 Thu Nov 05 17:14:46 +0000 2015

What's worse is that directors now alert their old films to look orange & teal. Even the films films from 80s & 70s!

 Thu Nov 05 17:15:39 +0000 2015

It even happens when studios aren't involved. Cronenberg did it with Scanners & Mann did it with Manhunter, both for Criterion!

 Thu Nov 05 17:22:03 +0000 2015

I will say that the new look fits Scanners really well through, but that's not the point.

They did it to the first Matrix to fit it with the sequels. It's green though, not teal & orange.

 Thu Nov 05 17:27:13 +0000 2015

First Matrix was brown, gray & green. The sequels were mostly bright & green. So they decided to push green more. Rather badly too.

 Thu Nov 05 17:28:15 +0000 2015

Yes, it doesn't fit. The first Matrix had a great almost noir look, it didn't need any more green.

Listening to the Hotline Miami soundtrack. Still so fucking good.

 Tue Nov 10 00:47:49 +0000 2015

I'm still bummed out about Hotline Miami 2 being received badly. It was exactly what I wanted it to be.

 Tue Nov 10 00:49:13 +0000 2015

I guess everyone else was expecting something different. Or should I say "more of the same"?

 Tue Nov 10 00:49:52 +0000 2015

I found the first game too easy, so the additional challenge of the second one was welcome. As far as too "much" of the

 Tue Nov 10 00:56:10 +0000 2015

same? Idk. That's what I wanted. And most seemed to be disappointed by deviations.

 Tue Nov 10 00:56:54 +0000 2015

I understand that. But that's exactly what made the first game too easy for me. So I was glad to be see those levels, even

 Tue Nov 10 01:00:44 +0000 2015

though it FORCED me to play a certain way, it also FORCED me to think differently. Which was fucking great. Great challenge

 Tue Nov 10 01:01:32 +0000 2015

I feel that if it was just a map pack released half a year later (as originally planned) it would have been better received

 Tue Nov 10 01:02:23 +0000 2015

Never played any.

 Tue Nov 10 01:03:00 +0000 2015

Well, I generally feel that if it was more of a DOOM II situation people would have enjoyed it more. But instead it fucked

 Tue Nov 10 01:04:06 +0000 2015

with its core mechanics to annoy people on both sides.

 Tue Nov 10 01:04:33 +0000 2015

That's the general consensus.

 Tue Nov 10 01:04:46 +0000 2015

I guess what I meant is that if HM2 was just a simple map pack to HM1, most would have liked it more than a game it

 Tue Nov 10 01:06:01 +0000 2015

eventually became. The game that deconstructed the first game in many ways, despite leaving mechanics intact.
