I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.
Upskill. I’m not ‘upskilling’ someone, I’m training them.
Would you settle for a single clergyman?
Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.
But what news of the console legs race?
I’ve consistently enjoyed and come back to the following for years:
I also like to boot up and listen to the Amiga title music for SWIV and the Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack of Revenge of Shinobi.
This was also my first Linux distro after having used Sun’s Solaris while at uni. I think I tried out Slack and Suse at around the same time, but stuck with RedHat and related distros for about 6 years.
Critically panned, across the board, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It could have done with another couple of rounds of script polishing.

I am not renting my corporeal existence from a megacorporation. There is no way this is ever affordable to the masses without some pretty huge caveats
The culture novels, such a good pick!
I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn’t match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I’ll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today’s standards.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movie made yet.
I commend your efforts. Good work.
Still unused in the packaging, I hope
Other people who’ve read it and who I’ve talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?
Game: Super Mario Galaxy
Book: The Rama series, Arthur C Clarke
TV: The West Wing
Movie: The 5th Element
If you’re not using GNU/Hurd are you even trying?
A bucket of dehydrated water, which you have to reconstitute by adding water, in order to put out an invisible fire. No idea what kind of game you’re making, could be a very odd addition to something like a racing sim.
Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.
