A game that feels like a surreal mix between The Matrix and Doom, with a dash of A Clockwork Orange craziness and a pinch of LSD. MDK (1997) is a cult classic third-person shooter developed by Shiny Entertainment. You play as Kurt Hectic (what a name!), a janitor on...

Before Half-Life... there was Fade to Black (1995), a truly brilliant action-adventure game developed by Delphine Software as a sequel to Flashback. It follows hero Conrad Hart, awakened from cryogenic sleep in an alien prison on the Moon. You have to explore, fight, solve puzzles, and navigate a sci-fi conspiracy in a fully 3D polygonal world. Back in the day, it felt revolutionary with smooth 3D graphics, dynamic camera angles, and a perfect blend of shooting, platforming, and adventure way before Tomb Raider took the crown. Story, atmosphere, pace, graphics, sound effects - it was the whole package. In 1995, this was a real masterclass.

Vendetta for the Arcade (originally known as Crime Fighters 2 in Japan) is a 1991 classic Konami beat-'em-up. It allows you to attack enemies while they are on the ground, and features a wide variety of weapons and items that make the fights highly dynamic. A cult-classic, though it was largely overshadowed by massive hits like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons.

Today, Black & White turns 25 years old. Happy birthday! Developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Electronic Arts on 27 March 2001, the project was led by none other than Peter Molyneux. It is widely regarded as a textbook example of a game that was too ambitious for its time, resources, and team size. Still critically acclaimed and a cult favourite, it underperformed commercially relative to the massive hype surrounding it (and Molyneux’s name). The game combined god-game mechanics (influencing villagers and facing moral choices between good and evil), a learning AI creature, gesture-based controls, hand-of-god interaction, and a massive open world. This was groundbreaking in 2001, but it also pushed hardware limits too far for the average user. I’m not surprised it came from Lionhead Studios. Peter Molyneux had previously led Bullfrog, a team also known for innovation and ambitious games.

Most people associate the name Blizzard with Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo - and why wouldn't they? All three are massive legends of gaming history. However, the very first game created by Blizzard (then known as Silicon & Synapse) was The Lost Vikings in 1993. It's a mix between classic platforming, action, puzzles, and teamwork with wonderfully quirky Viking charm. The game featureed an innovative co-op mechanic that always reminded me a bit of Lemmings (at its core). You control three Vikings who were kidnapped by the alien emperor Tomator for his intergalactic zoo: Erik the Swift (runs fast and jumps far), Baleog the Fierce (fights with sword and bow), and Olaf the Stout (blocks with his shield and can float with it). You switch between them to solve clever environmental puzzles (bridges, traps, doors, cages, etc.) and cooperate to reach the exits. Because each Viking has unique skills, coordinating them smartly is essential - one Viking alone can never make it. An excellent game for its time, I feel that The Lost Vikings showed early on that Blizzard had brilliant developers and creative ideas.

Walker for the Amiga (by DMA Design/Psygnosis/1993) is a cult classic and an exclusive game for the system. With its mouse+keyboard support (almost "WASD" before it was a thing), a computer control method, very welcome in a time of poor/easily broken DB9 joysticks. #AmigaReposts

JOE ROGAN: THERE'S A 7-MILE-WIDE ALIEN PROBE HEADING TO EARTH "You hear about that f**king object that's hurtling towards Earth at like, 130,000 miles an hour? Avi Loeb, a professor at Harvard, believes it might be an alien probe, and he was talking about the odds of this thing being on this trajectory, entering into our solar system on a direct path with Earth, are extremely low. And at the place where it's doing it, it's when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun. So it's coming from behind the sun, and so it makes it difficult to detect; and this object is in a direct line to come to Earth in 2027." Source: Joe Rogan

Ecstatica is one of the first 3D survival horror games, and it was pretty advanced for its time. You can play as either a man or a woman, and it features great graphics, atmosphere, and cool mechanics, like the werewolf (not an ape!) stalking you through the town. It's very brutal and has a twisted sense of humor. Really good game.

Midwinter (1989) by Mike Singleton is a massive game in every sense of the word. For its time, it was incredibly ambitious, blending first-person action, strategy, and RPG elements into a pretty unique package. It was definitely not a "load up and play" game - the learning curve was extremely steep (it took me ages to figure it out). In the story, a meteorite impact has triggered a new ice age, leaving a vast 160,000-square-mile frozen island. You begin as Captain John Stark, a police officer tasked with building a guerrilla resistance against the invading forces of General Masters. You can recruit up to 32 unique characters, each with their own personality, skills (such as marksmanship or mechanics), backstories, and relationships. The game also features a detailed body-part injury system, along with hunger and exhaustion mechanics… and remember, if you think that's sounds a bit "meh, so?", this was released in 1989! It was widely praised at the time for its enormous open world, vector-based 3D graphics, and mix of genres. Many consider it one of the first true open-world games, and being quite ahead of its time.

Final Fight was such an epic brawler that defined its era in the arcades. When it first arrived, there was nothing else quite like it. The graphics, the atmosphere, the co-op gameplay, and the sheer impact it had on the genre were something special. Even all these years later, I still love seeing fan projects that capture that original flavour while adding their own twist. Fight Forever feels like a project made by fans, for fans, and you can see the passion behind it. It hits hard and is a great reminder of why Final Fight remains such a beloved classic.

Peter Jackson talks about AI in Hollywood. Calls it “a tool” like stop-motion or CGI before and what ultimately matters is “imagination, originality” of whoever uses the tool: “I think AI — used in the right way — is a tool like any other tool. [The original] King Kong…was stop-motion and done by a person moving a rubber creature. Why shouldn't somebody on a computer using AI software be able to create their own imagery? They should. It's a tool. It's no different from many other tools that have existed over the years. But the other side of it is that it's always going to come down to the imagination and originality of the person feeding the instructions into the AI program. It's not that you're going to type in an instruction and it's going to generate your shot, and that's that. The question is: is it actually interesting? Is it funny? Is it imaginative? And are you going to stitch it together to make a narrative, a story? Some people will make really great films that way. Some people will do exactly the same process and their film will be crap, just like in the normal film industry. Whether it's AI or anything else, it comes down to whether the person behind it — or the people behind it — have originality, imagination, and an ability to entertain people.”

An oldie but goldie... and definitely needing a manual to have the slightest clue what was going on. Carrier Command (1988), developed by Realtime Games and published by Rainbird, blends RTS and simulation elements. You command the aircraft carrier ACC Epsilon in a future war to colonize a 64-island archipelago before a rival carrier does the same. You can attack by air (Manta) or land (Walrus) and drop command centres on neutral islands. The game switches between fleet management and direct vehicle control. The filled-polygon graphics (epic for the time!) and tactical elements made it one of the earliest true RTS games. It received excellent reviews, often in the high 90% range. A sequel, Battle Command, followed two years later.

it was a blast talking with Seema Amble and Steven Sinofsky about the prevailing narratives re: the supposed death of SaaS. it was also a lot of fun to grill Steven Sinofsky about the historical parallels between modern agentic frameworks and microsoft's status as a "middleware" provider in the 2000's. here he is on why the middleware dream never works out the way engineers think it will: "So much of it is driven by an engineering view of what would make for a good software architecture, and very little of it is being driven by the physical reality of the world." "No software wants to be disintermediated by some other layer above it. Nobody wants to just be put in a corner and said, 'Your job is to just store this SQL format for expense reports and do nothing more. And then we're piping you through to some other tool to analyze expense reports.' That's not a growing business. That's a decaying business." "This middleware layer, it's always, always very unstable. It looks great in a network hierarchy diagram of the OSI levels of networking, but it's just never that stable."

lando talking about how special it feels for him to win constructors’ titles after starting with the team in tougher times and their dominance 🥹❤️‍🩹 “i mean another one is just a great thing. it's another constructor feels the same as the first, because to get the first was quite an achievement if you still look at where we were just three years ago. we've overtaken every team in terms of development. we've outdone them by a long way in terms of development, and in a time when it's almost harder to do than ever, with more restrictions and less wind tunnel time, all of those different things, budget cap, that's really been more in our favor over the last five years comparing to the budget that the other teams could run at. but in a time when it should be more difficult than ever to dominate, that's exactly what the team have done and given us, by a long way, the best car on the grid. i mean, it's always a very nice thing to say. every driver that gets to say that always puts a smile on your face. but we've also done very well as a team in terms of drivers between oscar and myself pushing each other and delivering every single weekend. and you don't see that on any other team. so i think we're also very proud of that as drivers. but for me, i've been with mclaren since i started. especially it was a very different time and different place then to where we are now. so that journey makes it more special to know the downs because that's a lot of what it was back then to see the rise that we've had to see the teamwork, the changes, the atmosphere difference and the leadership from zak, from andrea especially, has turned things around and made us as a team the best in the world. and that's something that many people don't ever get to say”

Who here is old enough to remember when Myst (1993) blew everyone away? It was a straight-up revolution! Well, that's how it felt like at the time. Developed by brothers Rand & Robyn Miller (Cyan), Myst had over 2,500 photorealistic pre-rendered images, 40 minutes of original ambient music, and 66 minutes of video on a single CD-ROM. Many say it helped kickstart the CD-ROM era (1993 was still heavily dominated by 3.5" disks), which was an expensive hardware luxury back then. It looked and sounded like nothing else. There was no combat. No death. And also no hand-holding. Just you, a mysterious island, books, levers, codes, and puzzles in beautifil, lonely worlds - you had to figure it out, the gameplay was open and non-linear. It felt like stepping into a painting, and you could argue it was one of the first games with true immersion (again, for its time - remember this was 1993). It sold over 6 million copies, and stayed the best-selling PC game for 9 (!) years until The Sims in 2002. It created a whole new audience and changed what people expected from PC gaming forever, the bar was raised to a whole new level. For the first time a game also had real appeal to the non-hardcore gamers. It pulled in more female players than any other game before. For its time it was pure magic.

Airwolf was released in 1985 by Elite Systems Ltd., a British developer known for ports and licensed games. It’s based on the popular 1984-1987 TV series Airwolf, centered around a high-tech helicopter. The game is a side-scrolling shooter where players pilot the Airwolf helicopter through a series of missions. The objective is to navigate caves, avoid obstacles, and shoot down enemy aircraft and installations to rescue hostages. The game received mixed reviews. While praised for its tie-in appeal and decent scrolling, it was criticized for repetitive gameplay and lack of depth. Zzap!64 magazine gave it a 55% rating, noting it as an average title that didn’t fully capture the show’s excitement.

“So originally, Paint by Numbers was like track one of the album. And at that time, the album was very different. It was like sonically sounding very different. It was like very introspective. I think I was really starting to feel like, you know, I think I loved the idea of opening the album with, oh, what a gift it is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me. I just loved, I was like so dedicated to that being the opening line. And I felt so like powerful in a lot of ways to be able to acknowledge that it's not really about me, you know. I mean the opening, the whole opening of the song is, oh, what a gift is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me.
