Metamoqester asks a simple question: what if a beat 'em up let you transform into almost every enemy you defeated? Released by Banpresto in 1995, it remains one of the most inventive twists on the genre, yet it rarely gets mentioned alongside the arcade greats.

Closing in on half a century... The Atari 2600 launched in 1977, and with it the truly epic "Combat" - making it the console's first official game. It was based on Atari’s earlier arcade game Tank (released in 1974). In Combat, you control a tank, biplane, or jet and fight against another player. The gameplay was simple to grasp, yet the skill ceiling was surprisingly high. You had to carefully judge enemy movement, shot trajectories, and your own positioning to avoid getting hit. For a game that’s soon approaching 50 years old, it was remarkably advanced. It remains one of the most iconic games of early gaming history. Younger generations will probably never come across it - and if they did, they’d likely laugh at its primitive graphics. But for those who grew up with it, Combat was one of the best two-player experiences of its era.

The Atari 2600 launched in 1977, with the ageless classic Combat as one of its launch titles. It was based on Atari’s earlier arcade game Tank (released in 1974). In Combat, you controlled a tank, biplane, or jet and battled against another player. The gameplay was simple to grasp, yet the skill ceiling was surprisingly high. You had to carefully judge enemy movement, shot trajectories, and your own positioning to avoid getting hit. For a game that’s soon approaching 50 years old, it was remarkably advanced for its time. It remains one of the most iconic games of early gaming history. Younger generations will probably never come across it - and if they did, they’d likely laugh at its primitive graphics. But for those of us who grew up with it, Combat was one of the best two-player experiences of its era.

In banking and finance, the most important part of a decision rarely makes it into the official record. We spent a day with Michael, a product manager in this industry. The question he kept coming back to: how do you stop the act of capturing a conversation from pulling you out of it. Be Present | Episode 4

One of the most baffling quirks of Blender is that it will very occasionally let you select vertices through the mesh while not in Xray mode. Yet if you box draw, it won't. Is anyone working on this? #b3d

Children of Men is a 2006 film that focuses on exactly this. It provokes an unsettling question. The question it asks is this: if a society feels unsafe, unstable, and meaningless, why would anyone bring a child into it? And if no one wants to invest in the future on Earth anymore, what does that say about the world we’ve created right now?

Let me introduce Altered Beast, one of Sega’s classic arcade games. If you’re in your 40s and spent any time in arcades, you’ve probably seen it at least once—more likely many times. When you defeat the white wolf, it drops an orb. When you collect it, you hear the famous “Power up!” voice and the main character starts becoming more muscular. After the third power-up, he finally transforms into a beast, gaining incredible strength. That transformation is really the core of the game. Another fun part is that each stage lets you transform into different beasts like a werewolf, dragon, tiger, or bear. I had a lot of fun playing it in arcades back then. Later it was ported to the Mega Drive and also to the Famicom. But the Famicom version was a bit disappointing compared to what I expected. The transformation animation is one of the highlights of the game, but it’s missing there, so it doesn’t quite capture the same impact as the arcade version.

🚨 NEW: ZeroHedge zerohedge gets to ask Trump a question! ZH: “Two and a half years ago the Nord Stream pipeline blew up. You said Russia did not blow up its own pipeline. Will you launch a formal investigation into who blew it up?” TRUMP: “If I asked certain people I could tell you without wasting a lot of money on an investigation. I think a lot of people know who blew it up. But I was the one who blew it up originally. I wouldn’t let it be built and then when Biden got in he allowed it to be built.”

CONTACT The climax challenges the audience from two directions. If you believe only in science, it asks you to accept the unprovable. If you believe only in faith, it demands evidence. The film becomes a meditation asking: What if the most important truths can never be proven?

We're making a 90-min feature film. Real actors, real sets, real crew, and AI filling in only what the budget can't cover. The one thing we don't have yet is a script. If you've written one, polished it, pitched it, and watched it go nowhere, we want to read it. If we love it, we buy it, and you're in on the whole thing. We want to build it with people who care about it, as much as we do. The whole production runs in public - every workflow, every breakthrough, every failure. The script you stopped pitching might be the one that finally gets made. Don't let it sit in a drawer. Send it over.

The Adventure of Little Ralph is one of the strangest PlayStation exclusives. On the surface it's a simple 2D action platformer, but every boss fight suddenly transforms into a one-on-one fighting game complete with special move mechanics. Released only in Japan in 1999, it feels like two completely different genres accidentally merged into one game, and somehow it works.

I was talking with Juno973@nowhere about beat 'em ups and he mentioned the Gladiator, a hard IGS beat 'em up. The amount of enemies you can have on screen just in the second stage is crazy.
