"For some reason the Americans wouldn't touch it." The UK's Ocean Software, though, happily turned an Oscar-winning film about the hell of war into a hit computer game. And the conflicted critical responses it got are fascinating. New post on Platoon, the game: www.superchartisland.com/platoon
Platoon – “The first casualty of war”
Does this game-of-the-movie capture the coolest parts of the film? Was its development time (probably around three months) long enough to create a competent computer game? Are the graphics and soun…

Hey, I made a quiz on Sporcle! How many Fable games can you name? (Harder than the premise suggests. Anyone who 100%'s this on their first try probably worked at Lionhead.) www.sporcle.com/games/savesta...

Can you name all of the Fable games? There are more than you think. (DLCs not included.)

£4.72 for UK folks. If you have any interest in how video games got from Pong to the PS5, this is one of the most brilliant history lessons you'll ever have - and for less than the price of a pint. Absolute steal scenes. Loads of games, loads of extras, 100% recommended.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
As someone who worked at a British dev studio in the north of England who made superhero games for Acclaim, this post is spot on.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who helped us survive a decade. We have a cool month of new retrospective docs, returning series, patron exclusives, archive tapes and much more coming over the next month. A small thank you. Thank you all so much. The mission continues.

The video game industry has always been volatile (I published Press Reset in 2021!) but the skeleton key to understanding the current state of things is this: Big games now cost 10x to make what they did 15 years ago but most do not generate even close to 10x the revenue. Simple as that
This is a part of the game's second level that exists only for you to go watch the birds and enjoy some serenity. It has its own location and scrolls the rest of the level off screen so you're not interrupted, it's very intentional. It's absolutely wild to see something like this on the NES.

One issue with the internet defaulting to a single language and gaming focusing so much on the US experience is that we forget other countries also interview devs Here's a French interview where Myamoto confirms that Link is inspired by Peter Pan www.gamekult.com/actualite/mi...
