This isn't a 'glitch' at all but a friend and I took a GameShark to N64 Golden-Eye (using the RAM value injection button) and absolutely carved that game APART. The craziest thing we got from it was when the entire screen would be overlaid with numerical readouts of each non-player characters internal AI values. It was also possible to somehow get to areas of the game which never showed up in normal play. There was an island on the dam board which had a cabin and a boat I recall. GTA3 on the PS2 had a TON of player glitches as well. For example, it was possible to fly the DoDo into the geometry used in the opening bank robbery scene. It could not be accessed during normal play and had no collision detection, etc. That was a surreal, Twilight Zonish experience. Fun.

So I still can't do a search for just the letter E by itself?!? Damn.

Wait, doesn't misery love company?

Ah yes, I predict massive popularity for this one as that she is a she, and she is well trained in the nerdly arts. Her in-box is probably filled with tons of atrocious poetry... I also found it amusing how they flashed a picture of "Mister Awesome" while discussing Missile Command high scores. No mention of Missile Command 3D for the Jag...Tsk, Tsk...

Using the awesome, yet ancient, Quiver Quake 1 editor on the Mac, one could set up huge chambers, overflowing with different groups of monsters which did NOT get along. Just construct the player a nice, safe perch from which to watch the action and watch the show. Placing a large number of explosive barrels in the room added to the mayhem. That Wiki link also mentioned in-fighting in the Turok games, which I don't recall.

"No! I'm not trapped...NO! I said I'M NOT [email protected]%#ING TRAPPED!" I think that kid may have some mild mania caused by Tunnel Runner..

Why intentionally put in a level that stops the player dead in their tracks? I remember hitting that level and it made me stop playing as that, suddenly, 'skill' seemed to have been taken out of the equation for achieving success. BTW- I love difficult games. Arcade Robotron set to level ten difficulty is my favorite. Even though that game is among the most nasty and 'angry' at that point, it can still be beaten using skill and focus.

That was all done in Logic Pro. The SID-style tonality you're hearing is mostly due to reducing the audio resolution down to 12 bit. (Cue shameless Plug...) The sounds and effects are actually of my own design and are now available for purchase on-line at my website- Orwell Digital

Sounds great. Here's my '80's basement teen rockband version of it- AAPacManJrIntermission.mp3

What is- Loss of moisture?

Here's the best screenshot i could dig up. I don't know if it's PAL or what.

I wonder if Sleepy Smurf's condition was the result of some kind of glandular issue or something...

There are only four REAL 2600 games that any TRUE gamer needs to concern himself with- Sneak N Peek, Skeet Shoot, Sssnake, and Pac Kong. End of story.

This is really strange as that I was just doing research on early computer animation in film yesterday and came across the "Secret Mickey" in Tron at another site. One interesting thing about Tron is that it is the first appearance of an all-computer-rendered character("Bit") in any film, but not the first use of computer animation in a film, that would either be "FutureWorld" (a sequel to WestWorld) or actually, the wireframe visual explanation of of how to blow-up the DeathStar that was presented to the rebel pilots in StarWars.

Drop it to $369 and we'll talk...

The graphics look amazing but I don't think I'd be into that "cutaway" action when Turok makes a kill. Great models and textures though.

One way that Sony could further justify the price of the PS3 to consumers would be to produce peripherals that would allow it to function as a full-blown PC in addition to being a game system. This would be extremely difficult as that the processors in the PS3 are unique and Windows has not been written towards nor compiled for them. It could, however, make people feel somewhat better about dropping around $700 on the system with tax. Another approach would be to include a huge amount of games and Blu-Ray movies with the PS3. Sony has control over intellectual property in many fields, which would make this a lot less costly for them.

So when was the eventual Tetris port to the machine he worked on? Those ads also had some weird aesthetic business going on... Cool stuff.

These new machines aren't limited to producing graphics in a 3D space but have advanced drawing APIs which allow for complex 2D compositing, etc, as well. There's no reason they shouldn't TECHNICALLY be able to create absolutely amazing 2D-type games.

I like the drawing of the hippo, although he is certainly happier than I would be if I had six large Genesis buttons grafted into my body.

I think that the marketers who set this picture up tried to pull in parents based on what they believed the true motivation for them to purchase the Vectrex would be- To see their children happy. Or the picture illustrates the true horror that can occur when large doses of cocaine and laughing gas are given to a family...

Hey Joey nice graphic work, especially the composition. What are you using for 3D? All I'm sure of is ray-tracing but I'm guessing Bryce?

I had this one too and remember it in the bargain bins alongside "Bio-Freaks"... Part of the reason it failed was that the ad compain was horrible, with a close of shot of a girl's face with a tear, completely unrelated to the gameplay. It was also a clone of the game "Descent".

Is it primitive birth control?

Man, am I sick of these "of All Time" lists... Smurf Rescue? Have they played the game and others out at that time? It is FAR from belonging on any worst game list... Almost all reviewers, in any field, are talentless hacks whose ability to smooze, B.S. and be in the right place at the right time, put them where they are. They should all be crammed into a tiny steel drum and shot deep into space. Then they could write "Top Ten Worst Things About Being Crammed Into An F'n Tiny Steel Drum and Shot into Space" Soon there will be a "Worst Ten List of Worst Ten Lists of All Time"...Ack.
