Rad Mobile is an arcade Sega racing game from 1991. It was the first appearance of Sonic the Hedgehog... as a windshield ornament! The cars were sprites. Later they released the game retitled Gale Racer for the Sega Saturn with polygon cars.

I recently played the game and found it really challenge to rank high. The game has 20 levels starting in Los Angeles and ending in New York.

Sam and Max Hit the Road is a great adventure game. I played it recently for the first time. Recommended.

 

So I played the original TimeSplitters last night. It was a PS2 launch title in 2000.

The game got better with every level. Funny how the water graphics had no splash animation nor sound effects but did have reflections. Did anyone else notice that?

Back when Ambrosia made Mac ports. DEFCON was cool.

Looks unique. I love platformers. I'd play.

Arguably the DRM is only worth it for the first month or so after launch. Once the sales start dropping it's pointless. It's annoying to the consumer either way though.

I level grinded so much in the first. Getting loot was so fun.

I loved this game. I grinded for hours and got tons of cash and nice equipment then I reached the point in the game where I think you can finally ride a horse and stopped playing. I should pick this up again. I think I got my save game backed up somewhere, but at this point I'd probably want to start again because I forgot much of the story Lol

Cool trailer. This game looks right up my alley.

Hmm I think you're right, I might have confused GT1 with GT2. Both great games though.

Yes the random battles in SoA do get kinda repetitive especially since many of them seem so easy and the game has you going back and forth on the world map with the same enemies that don't level scale at all with the characters.

 

Horror games with flashlight batteries give you anxiety? Imagine completing a point and click adventure game on a handheld before the batteries run out!

I stumbled upon this retro game released only on the Atari Lynx called Dracula The Undead. Looks cool. Too bad it was never ported to the Jaguar CD.

Possible post by a bot account?

The article also links to another interesting article that begins by summarizing the disadvantages some employees experienced when the initial switch to working from home happened.

  1. Balancing work and kids at home;
  2. Finding space for a home office and learning new tools;
  3. Workdays at home alone;
  4. The line between work and life blurred.

Number 1 & 2 should not be an issue for most people now. Number 3 & 4 are personal and should not be used as an excuse to implement a company wide policy on everybody.

What does this say to the employee who disagrees with the company return to office "culture"? It says to them they aren''t welcome here. Imagine turning on your computer and being locked out. That's what happened during the Twitter X Corp takeover.
