I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He’s only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.

I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.

Yeah, I like the idea that RetroDeck is a single concise package that may not have the latest emulators but they are stable.

I’m also ordering an SD card because I just want to keep the ROMs separate from the main deck games.

Thank you for these posts, a friend shared a link and I’ve spent this Sunday morning browsing over the past few weeks of information. I really like the writing style, it’s enjoyable to read.

I’ve just ordered a SteamDeck myself and have more free games on Epic and GOG than my steam library (2 titles!). So it will take me a while to get up to speed onto how to get access to those libraries and get started in emulation.
