Absolutely loved both of them! I think UFO Defense was the first pc game I played on our first 486. It was one of the first games I ever successfully hacked.

Not sure how many people know, but there's another game from Gollop, Rebelstar Tactical Command for Gameboy Advance. It's part of the Rebelstar series dating back to the ZX Spectrum. It plays pretty much the same as the original XCom games.

X-Com - UFO Defense and TFTD are definitely my favorite. Fallout 1&2 are a close second and I've been meaning to play through them again. Ogre Battle is a distant third, with Front Mission right behind it.

But... Stephen King alone has written 65 novels...

Oh my god... Talk about a nostalgia hit. Do they still give those out?

Many, many years ago, we were on the road to some skateboarding event, I think some Bones Brigade thing or some big show with the NSA. I remember we were hanging out at a skate shop with some of the guys before the show and the fucking Wienermobile pulled up outside... I was playing the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden when it happened and someone was like "Holy crap, it's the Wienermobile!" I left my game and we all went out, got to go inside, and they gave us those little crappy whistles.

When we went back in, I had lost my last life and the game was on the continue screen. I had never played anything other than the NES one, and the continue screen was pretty jarring. I was all out of quarters too, so down went the saw blade...

I had that whistle forever until one day it just disappeared. My mom probably emptied out the junk in one of my desk drawers and away it went... Sorry for the dump, but man, what a nostalgia trip...

That's a shame. Thanks for trying though!

Or maybe he'd prefer some chicken... tacos? Who doesn't love a good taco?

Everblue 2 for the PS2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I play it about once a year. The original was an EU only release thst I didn't get to play until a few years ago. It also had a sort of spiritual successor with Endless Ocean 1 & 2 for the Wii, made by the same developer. However, the first one didn't have any of the treasure finding mechanics and there was no real threat to the player at any time. Neither series really let you walk on land, so to speak. The Everblue games do have above water parts, you return to the island between dives to talk to people, sell treasure, sleep and such, but they're prerendered images that are more like a point and click adventure. There were a couple pc games I played around the same time that were made by independent developers that never really took off.

Oh, I'd be very interested in that if you can point me in any sort of direction.

If it's anything like his lawyers presenting papers written by chatgpt, they should check pictures for weird looking people and odd non-letters/words on protest signs.

That was kinda my thought too, "How would I describe something that is so foreign to anything I've ever experienced that I'm entirely overwhelmed by the sheer realization of it's existence. So much so that I can only describe the fear felt when seeing it?" The focus would first be on primal instincts before your brain could even begin with physical characteristics.

"This horror that stands before you is no man, nor it anything resembling man in any facsimile other than it stands upon two appendages that could be mistaken for feet. The realization of it's mere and miserable existence finds you stricken with a cold sweat akin to the feel of a pale and slimy fish at the market. It's visage strikes in your being a fear that cores your stomach deeper than any forgotten, but suddenly realized promise. "

Shit like that?

Ignore this... Duplicated my post somehow.
