"That game, according to the slides Miller published online, would have seen Burton returning to battle the the Lords of Death gang, and sorcerer aliens from space (inspired by Jack's line: "A man would have to be some kinda fool to think we're all alone in this universe."), and would also have featured bullet-time mechanics (based on another classic Jack Burton line: "It's all in the reflexes")."
It's a really enjoyable, visually spectacular game just like the film. Today due to the design it doesn't look dated either. The story plays out as a Saturday afternoon movie, it's just fun fun fun. I really wish they'd followed it up or shot that as the sequel.
@MikeP I agree with what you said. Also the game is probably the best game based on Tron.
Looks like Google and YT AI took Slope for a ride. Something really needs to be done about that, it's unacceptable. I will say though if you're courting an audience of toxic individuals stuff like this is bound to happen more easily.
@Kushan Ironically Slope has given power to people that have made videos on me that thanks to AI YT do nothing about when reported so it's kind of come full circle for me. 🙄
@Siambretta This probably wouldn't have happened had he checked what he was saving.
We don't really need more C64 inspired glowing computers. I also don't see how much kids of today could enjoy playing with tech from 1982 over something like Switch. What we need is someone to buy the Commodore rights and make a new computer that can rival in popularity Apple and Microsoft. We need Commodore management to look at what Atari is doing and republish its systems.
I was always Team Amiga but the ST should definitely be celebrated for its achievements. We cannot deny its legacy and it was a fine alternative to Commodore's computer.
@Ristar24 I had no idea Retro Gamer put out the Lotus games as freebies. It's very good ow the licencing works. Antstream is allowed to put out Amiga Zool with its Chupa Chumps licencing but when they remastered it in HD they weren't allowed to use the lollipop company.
@Crecca Absolutely! They need to remake their own hardware and get more homebrew developers onboard. That way we can have branded Sega cases for games.

A better Discord server?
@Ristar24 I'd love that stuff to. A Dizzy collection is a problem right now. I did originally ask for it to happen but the Twins said no. You're not getting the Lotus games either due to the licence.
The error is in thinking it was competing with the Game Boy and Game Gear. It wasn't. It was a toy more than anything with a limited shelf life. I think it's pretty cool but there wasn't much to it.

@JackGYarwood Let's hope it's not a remake.

Okay that sounds really cool! 😂
Re: Writers Of 'Did You Know Gaming' Book Published By Unbound "Received £79 Each For Over 7 Years Of Work"
That publishing company really needs to sort itself out financially and pay back the authors. Really disgraceful.
Re: After A Year Of Silence, Simon The Sorcerer Origins Finally Shows Signs Of Life
I still don't understand how this can be an origin story when the original was an origin story. 🤔
Re: "The Channel Is Safe. Thank You" - YouTube Retro Channel Slope's Game Room Avoids Deletion
@BryceS76 The doc itself is incredibly flawed. I did try to help provide a more balanced viewpoint but he wasn't interested.
@MegaManFan He didn't con anyone.
"The only good thing to come from that whole mess was the "gaming racists" meme — easily the funniest in a long string of dumb things Tommy said!"
That's not what he meant to say but he was angry.
"HBomberguy's "oof" documentary is TRULY the best thing to come out of the Amico."
Imagine thinking that cherry picked hack job was good. 😂
@Null2 I'm not sure how that's hopping into bed with him. 🙄
