I need to pick up UFO 50 when it gets to GOG or gets preferably a Switch port. It sounds a little ridiculous that so many games got put into one compilation.

I guess my spooky game is Lies of P which I couldn't stop thinking about for some reason. I am generally impressed with how it runs, but I ended up running it at a "mere" 2560x1440 at medium settings. A full 5k at the best settings actually runs better than I would have expected, but I figured smoothness is more important here and it doesn't look that much better. Only downside is that it has to do a shader compilation every time it runs, but it was only very slow the first time. Not much to say about the game itself yet, but I do find it interesting that weapons are sort of mix and match between the handle and blade.

Finished Michigan. It really doesn't pay off at the end and the last... Boss? Encounter? What the hell was that even?
I'll try and start another spooky game but for now I'll focus on finishing spirit tracks as it's getting annoying and I really want to go back to the analogue pocket and play some Gameboy and Neo Geo Pocket games.

I'm wondering if they'll make Angel of Darkness better in the remaster. It was such a mess that it caused Eidos to shut down Core and reboot the series. Never mind the fact it was blamed for the failure of the second Tomb Raider movie.

I didn't think Angel of Darkness was that bad. My recollection is that the problems were mostly technical. I had a good time anyway.

Tomb Raider: Chronicles was a real filler game too, basically a clip episode/best of collection to buy Core more time to work on Angel of Darkness. Apparently Core had wanted to end the series with Last Revelation, but Eidos forced them to continue.

From my memory, Angel of Darkness' big problem was it played exactly like a Tomb Raider game in an era where gameplay was being wildly evolved in new directions and people just didn't have the patience for the old ways anymore. The addition of technical issues and a subpar story with a lame male co-protag were the nails in the coffin for popular opinion.

When I first saw this video I thought it was a fan game but saw the end and it's obviously an official product.

A site called Retromags is doing a Kickstarter for a book called The Electronic Gaming Monthly Compendium dealing with the classic gaming magazine.

I read EGM back in the day as it was my second gaming mag other than Nintendo Power. One thing it introduced me was the concept of bad video games while Nintendo Power made Nintendo games were all good (or most.) I also didn't know about EGM's reputation of April Fool's jokes in their April issues. Completely fooled by the one of Sheng Long appearing in Street Fighter 3. Good times.
