Trying to replay pic related. Found the PC version to be the best because updated graphics and 60 fps, but there's a game breaking glitch that happens after the heli chase where you die in a cutscene. Anyone know a way around or a version that doesn't do this?

There are quite a few titles from the third generation home consoles that have aged well, but it does not seem like anything from second generation home consoles are worth revisiting or have stood the test of time?

Pic sorta related, second generation home consoles were dominated by poor arcade ports.

Why do so many ROM hacks come in .ips files and require Lunar IPS to patch?

What foods would be available for someone trying to start a Pac-Man diet if one were to include the available items from every game?

I'm not sure what the real-life equivalent of pellets and ghosts would be. A power pellet would be like a tab of pcp that would make you go berzerk on everyone and eat them. But since the ghosts can regenerate maybe they represent some kind of renewable plant or fungus. I dunno. Maybe pellets would be pellets of Soylent or the like, but that sounds gross.

Also, maybe instead of eating keys you could eat a nice piece of key lime pie instead. And some bell peppers instead of eating a bell. That kind of thing. You would obviously have to eat the foods in some kind of order as well and determine some kind of intergame guidelines for item equivalencies. As a result there would be some choice, but once you ate an item from one point tier you would have to move on the next one.

I'm surprised no one has designed some pseudo-scientific marketing mumbo jumbo to try to sell this to rubes. You could say there was some kind of secret Japanese diet some, I don't know, monks or some shit, came up with where you had to eat foods in certain orders to gain immortality, but nobody knows what the foods really are and the Pac-Man diet is a bastardized but still salubrious offshoot of the original magical diet.

Celebratory pizza would also be allowed.

ALso, would you rather eat the Pac-Man or the Bubble Bobble diet?

What's your favourite game based on the Alien franchise?

I feel like replaying Alien Trilogy since I never beat it. Any main difference between the DOS, PS and Saturn versions?

Are there any good accounts of what it was like to be in the trenches of retro game development, written with programmers in mind? For example, there are tons of stories about how Iwata saved various Nintendo games during his early years at the company, but I can't find any information on what the specific problem was those games were facing, or the solution Iwata came up with. There's a similar thing for Atari. Many accounts reference how hard it was to program 2600 games or to port certain arcade titles, but don't go into the coding specifics of what kind of obstacles were encountered.

Anyone have or used one of these Logitech ps2 cordless action controllers? I bought it new in packaging from ebay but it doesn't sync. The receiver blinks quickly looking for the controller but I push the button on the controller it blinks for like 10 sec I guess looking for the receiver and just quits. Know what I can do to fix this overpriced wreak?

Anybody else play this one? I feel like it's a better bronze-age/ancient world strategy game than Sid Meier's civilization, though it has a worse UI.
