I was locked-in on this thing. Pixels (2015) did something similar, right? Never saw it, but I believe it has some similar imagery, though the narrative might be different. The whole world as a computer is very Douglas Adams.

It's no coincidence that Kojima's games can be edited into movies, he has a film director's vision. So here's MGS3 by Gamer's Little Playground. 🎬🍿

Here’s How To Play Metal Gear Solid 3 The Right Way We'll tell you how to switch to 'Normal' camera mode (and the many reasons why you should)

Respect for the original camera. 👍

Incredible choice! One of my favorites!!

Kojima chose Aug. 24th, 1964 as the date of the Virtuous Mission because it aligned with his birthday.

I initially bemoaned the fact that I kicked off "Kojima Week" posting about Gex, but it turns out that's Dana Gould's birthday too. Amazing coincidence!

"This is absolutely the last Metal Gear Hideo Kojima is working on."

...and he worked on 11 more.

I think the author guessed this and was making a joke, but it's hard to tell in print.

Still in awe of how good this CRT looks.

Just got this beautiful custom copy of the English translated Policenauts, courtesy of Pipe Dreams Games. Can't wait to finally play this Kojima classic on the Saturn with a lightgun!

The NES shaped me, but the 3DO meant the most to me as it was the first console I bought with my own money. I mentioned it on here recently, but I was able to afford the costly 3DO after a retail CEO lost a bet to me, a 12 year old kid. Never bet against a kid's ability to manipulate gains.

His credits weren't wholly apparent in the NES era, but Kojima's notable mark on the industry informed our outside play; walkie-talkies, camouflage, tactical espionage action, and hidden tree forts.

Hideo Kojima became a legendary name on the playground, with a whole grade of kids challenging the notion that we weren't aware of creators back then.

Robert the comic book store guy built a niche legend out of Hideo Kojima in our town in the '80s. His comic shop was in the side room of our local video store, across from the game shelves. If you came in to rent Metal Gear, Robert would certainly tell you about Kojima and the superior MSX version.

The Screamer likely inspired Kojima while making Snatcher. With Death Stranding 2 just a few days away, shining a spotlight on The Screamer makes sense. Hint: Kojima will also be directly recognized with Friday's *Retro Night* featured title. 😉

The Screamer—Now on the shelf at Video Connection, your fake video store from a Retro Night long ago.

Gex was a mainstay for me on my 3DO. Story goes, retail CEO made a bet against me at 12 years old that I couldn't make 3 toothpicks into 4 without breaking any. One "shape-of-a-4" later and I bought the console.

Millipede (1984)

Focus group responses for Millipede. It seems like the focus group must have been asked to compare Millipede against Centipede directly—probably not the best way to collect raw data.

Incredible. Sol-Feace is one of my all time favorites.

Jaws for the NES is a fun time. It's based on the fourth movie, but it still feels fitting to play tomorrow for the original film's 50th anniversary. 🦈

Wow, I had this. Amazing!

Screencap of Doom Classic on iOS, from John Carmack's progress report on the port hosted on id Software's website.

"Making Doom run on a new platform is only a couple days of work. Making it a really good game on a platform that doesn't have a keyboard and mouse or an excess of processing power is an honest development effort."

-John Carmack in 2009, regarding Doom Classic (iOS)

I read the progress report. What I love about Carmack's writing, especially here, is that it reads more like a personal journal rather than a public communiqué. I like that, like he's working in a bubble and our presence is neither required or acknowledged. I actually adore that.
