"The characters barely resemble the original actors because Virgin didn't want to pay for image rights – and Costner may have been uncomfortable having his face shown in a "violent" game"
They obviously did a poor job because I recognise those actors from the movie. I thought this was released for Amiga but it turns out it was an unrelated Robin Hood game from around the same time.
I think this is one of those 'black box' games I keep hearing about?
@Sketcz Retro Gamer have devoted entire articles to taking apart why SMB is the most revolutionary game ever made...it's not really, it's overrated. Very brown yes. 😆
@Norintha It's a bit of a cheat though since Revolution still existed with around one or two people. My understanding is they would hire employees and then let them go, that's how they were able to survive.
@happycodingzx Maybe when you start focusing on 16bit gaming you can go back to the 90's logo? Ooooo that's a good idea, you can use the original logo for the 80's stuff and the early 90's logo for 90's stuff. 😊
@Deuteros Yah, we're lucky some of these are still around. I really hope Codemasters manages to stay around. I didn't even know about Jagex! 😆
@happycodingzx I'd definitely try to get it back regardless of its quality. Also, please bring back the 90's Gremlin logo, that was the best logo you had.
@sftwn I have to say I think it would help people to categorise AI assisted efforts from those that don't have that but I do think both should be allowed.
@Deuteros Ocean was bought by Infogrames, Domark by Eidos, Bullfrog by EA, Codemasters by EA, US Gold and Core Design by Eidos and Revolution wasn't bought out.
"Finally, I'm doing this for fun. I didn't post it anywhere but youtube, I didn't pay for any advertising or post on X or forums. I'm zero drama and thought it was pretty cool."
This is the key. He was doing it for fun. It was experimentation for something he had interest in. I don't think that's an issue?
@Zeebor15 Literally the article I read before this reported on AI being used as well as the one after. It just isn't the same if one article doesn't mention AI generation. 😂
I would very much welcome this although it would be an unusual decision considering they have older Wolfenstein titles that need a remaster of first. If they remaster Wolfenstein 3D I would really like them to include the first two games as well with fixes.
This is really indepth. Unfortunately I only became aware of the game because of AVGN. In fact a lot of my knowledge of NES came from AVGN reviewing its library. His channel got me back into retro gaming. I'm glad the game is a lot better than what it's been portrayed as. NES was an...interesting system. I personally think SMS was better.
I think my only issue from the demo so far is that apart from being too easy to run into enemies the route through the levels shown seems very linear. 🤔
@Slider2711 Well human bias won't provide objectivity, it will give you confirmation bias. AI reporting can be programmed to be more unbiased. You made good points before though that I partly agree with. 👍
@Slider2711 As I said in my previous comment AI has the benefit of non-bias if programmed in. A human website can easily go into bias and this one has on many occasions. As I said there's pros and cons of either.
"To that question, I would point out that GenAI content is riddled with mistakes and often completely misses historical context – using it in this kind of way is a sign of laziness, in my opinion."
Yeah but it remains less biased or maybe as biased. Either way TE and AI written articles have their pros and cons.

Re: Love Etrian Odyssey, Wizardy, & Shin Megami Tensei? This New Dungeon RPG Could Be Right Up Your Street
We need a new Might & Magic game. Ubisoft show no love for the IP, only the spin-off.

Genie is out of the bottle, the best thing they can do is categorise these on a website so people can pick what they want to use.

Aww, my comment got removed because it was in relation to the hypocritical drama around this and the M64. 🤣

Re: "I Thought It Was A Slam Dunk" - How The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Led To A Failed Battletoads TV Pilot
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also rejected by Disney who later said they'd made a mistake not producing the show.
It's also worth noting David Wise knew nothing about the video game and mostly ignored it when writing the script.

@DadGamerUK Absolutely! If AI is doing all the work then people won't be spending money on the Patreon access.

We'll have to call it MiSTer AI from now on. 😆
