"... where, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then suprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I'm used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for  sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I  am still, two days later, studying."

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.

In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot

The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

I remember reading that review and wondering wtf.
There was a chain store here that had a Jaguar demo kiosk. That game was awful!

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

You may recall the story of the Davises, who were caught in the eruption in their pickup truck with their friend Al, miles north of the mountain.

Here is a photo of their pickup in the devastated area, taken after May 18, 1980. The red trim is the only color in an awfully lifeless image.

Why Israeli counterterrorism tactics are showing up in Minnesota A decades-long partnership has included resource sharing and a lot of joint training for ICE and CBP with their counterparts in Israel.

Great Looking Cabover but glad they quit making them around 1980 in the US. Conventional AKA "Long Nose" are so much better & safer. If you have a Wreck, you are the first one there...
