Namco’s Pole Position was so popular it became the first game to feature "real-world" in-game advertising. However, because of the low resolution, the Pepsi and Marlboro billboards looked more like abstract art than actual logos. You were basically squinting at 8-bit tobacco🏎️💨

Who here is old enough to remember Pole Position? Published in 1982 by Namco, it essentially revolutionized racing games. It was the first to introduce and popularize the "behind the car" third-person perspective, which became the industry standard for racing games ever since. Pretty wild - at least from today's perspective - to see ads from global brands like Marlboro, Martini or Pepsi in an arcade game. But then again, you could also smoke on commercial flights and nobody would tell you "sugar is bad" when you had a Pepsi as a little kid. The 80s were different. Pole Position became the #1 arcade game in terms of gross revenue in 1983 and even remained among the top earners when Pole Position II was released.

When Pole Position hit the market back in 1982, it essentially revolutionized racing games. It was the first to introduce and popularize the "behind the car" third-person perspective, which became the industry standard for racing games ever since. Pretty wild - at least from today's perspective - to see ads from global brands like Marlboro, Martini or Pepsi in an arcade game. But then again, you could also smoke on commercial flights and nobody would tell you "sugar is bad" when you had a Pepsi as a little kid. Pole Position became the #1 arcade game in terms of gross revenue in 1983. No other game came close. And that's saying quite a lot, because 1983 was chock-full of epic arcade games!

You might have seen some posts that Highguard runs at a fake in-game resolution, but its not exactly what you think. Steam User Captain_SmellyRat noticed this issue first by pointing out that if you set render scale at 100%,the game would still show 80% of the resolution in DLSS hud UI. So If you're playing at 1080p, the internal resolution would be 864p and If you don't change the default render scale (which seems to be always set to 75%) the final resolution would be 648p. However it turns out that the in-game resolution is changed in value directly from post-processing settings that you set. Post-processing quality settings would change the internal resolution as follows: Low - 80% of in-game resolution Medium - 90% of in-game resolution High - 100% of in-game resolution If you're playing at high settings, you will not notice the game looking blurry, but if you play at medium or low settings, the game will look extremely blurry even though you think you're playing at 1080p or 4k. I find it weird that post-processing quality directly affects the internal game resolution, but if you're playing the game and it looks blurry to you, make sure you set the post processing quality to high. Whenever this was intentional or not to achieve a higher FPS, I don't exactly know. However, I still think the developers should have clarified what each settings affects the game, which in this case here it directly affects the resolution.

Declan Doyle said “practice was geared more towards starters that didn't play in the game, trying to give them a game-like feel." So you don’t play them in the actual game but try to give them a game like feel at practice? 🤔 #DaBears #Bears

This ENTIRE game was only in Japanese so I have no idea what the LORE is, however I am confident it is BETTER and more FUN than any single extraction shooter game in the history of the genre.

FTC documents show Pepsi is price fixing The FTC looked at internal emails with Pepsi and Walmart, they found they act as one company and Pepsi even takes action against grocery stores and other chains like Target if they price Pepsi as cheaply as Walmart does “The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is, this is all one big company — Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere it could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart, with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers. It even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more” This is price fixing and illegal

"It felt like we did embrace a little bit of the madness...players were a bit more aggressively positioned - it was loads of fun." "I'd like to do that every game at home. I'd take the peril that comes with it - it's well better doing that against a shite side than what we were doing at the turn of the year." 🎥 Post-Match Pint

Did you know that arcade cabinets with CRT monitors actually had three different resolutions? Most classic 2D arcade games used a 15kHz (320×240) resolution. This was the same resolution commonly used by CRT TVs and many 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit home consoles. Then Sega introduced higher-resolution arcade games with Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing, which used 24kHz (496×384). Sega Model 1, 2, and 3 arcade boards are famous for using this resolution. One of the reasons the Sega Saturn versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA looked so different from the arcade versions was because of this resolution gap. Later 3D arcade games moved to 31kHz (640×480) resolution. Sega NAOMI games are one of the best-known examples. That’s why you need to be careful when buying an arcade cabinet. Early cabinets only supported 15kHz, while the commonly seen Astro City supported both 15kHz and 24kHz. Later cabinets like Blast City, Net City, and New Net City were known as “3-mode” cabinets because they supported all three resolutions. The tricky part is that both the game board and the arcade cabinet itself can have resolution settings. If the settings are wrong, you can end up running a high-resolution game in low resolution. So if you’re buying an arcade cabinet, make sure you carefully check which resolutions it supports.

Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 2 was the most popular entry in the series. Compared to the first game, it had much better balance, and the additional characters made it far more appealing. Personally, I didn’t like Alpha 3 because it felt too complicated. I played it a lot in arcades, but I think I played it the most on the PlayStation 1. Do you like this game?

There’s a new website that lets you compare Kingdom Come: Deliverance II with the real places that inspired it. “Kingdom Compare” puts in-game locations next to photos of their real-world counterparts, so you can see how closely the streets, buildings and landmarks were recreated. It already covers more than 160 locations around Kuttenberg, and more are expected to be added.

Eagles coach Coach Rasool on Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers : "It would be hard to tell the difference between them in practice and in a game. It looks the same. It always looked like the fourth quarter. Or the first snap of the game. Or the game-winning play. Max wanted to win at everything he did. He could be playing pool, a video game, cards and you'd have thought it was to break a record in the NFL. You'd have thought it was to go to the Super Bowl."

From the creators of the 73-9 game, which so many people loved, many others despised and everybody was addicted to, comes... the Beat the Dream Team game. It's a bit more complex than 73-9, but equally entertaining (if not more). Give it a try:

Matt Damon says he turned down a video game based on “The Bourne Conspiracy” despite being offered a lot of money because he didn’t want it to be just another first-person shooter he wanted something more thoughtful, like the puzzle game “Myst” but the game developers said no and went on to make it without him “Yeah, yeah, wow, wow.” “No, I just didn’t want to do a kind of a just like a first-person shooter.” “They offered me a bunch of money.” “But it was like if you could make it more, I don’t know, a little more thought had to go into it.” “Or, you know, like Myst.” “I loved that game.” “So I was like, you know, more like Myst.” “And they were like, no.” “And they just went and made it without me.”

The 1990s were a time when SNK and Capcom were fiercely competing to bring their arcade games to home consoles. Capcom kept upgrading its hardware from CPS1 to CPS3, while SNK stuck with a single platform—the Neo Geo—which was powerful enough to keep receiving new releases from 1990 all the way to 2004. Because of that, many SNK games ported to 8-bit and 16-bit consoles often suffered in quality. However, the PC Engine, despite being an 8-bit system, managed to deliver surprisingly strong ports of SNK games thanks to the power of CD technology. That said, it was incredibly expensive at the time, so I could only admire it at game shops. If I had owned one back then and used it to listen to CDs and play games, it probably would have felt even more impressive than a PlayStation 5 Pro does today.

A while ago, I posted about games that looked great but had terrible gameplay/controls. The one that stuck with me was Dragon's Lair, but there were so many more mentioned in the comments that I had totally forgotten about. Today, I want to turn the question around - games that looked rather basic (or even poor) but had incredible gameplay. So, basically the polar opposite of Dragon's Lair. The choice for me was rather easy: M.U.L.E. (Ozark Softscape, 1983). Back then the graphics were ok but nothing to write home about. However, the reason why this game still has such a cult following and so many fans today - over 40 years later - is its gameplay. I never had more fun in a multi-player game. The land grabing, the auction system, supply and demand principles, and the many last second buy/sell antics have lost none of their charm. It's a game that aged beautifully because the concept and gameplay are as good today as they were back then. If you had to pick a game that ranks rather low in terms of presentation but fascinated you for its gameplay, which one would that be?

I am not a museum guy and isn't it just boring just just to go there and but we just went there uh because we got nothing to do and I saw the uh the paintings of Monae and Van Gone Sarah and of course I I knew the names of them because saw them uh and in the book when I was in school. So, but it was literally the first time to just have a like physically to have a chance to look at their actual um paintings. And I think impressionism is is still the biggest uh the most widest open entrance for all of the outside people uh in the art in the art world. Yeah. So, Monet and G and S, they opened me the entrance and um as I got into it like further and further more and more, I just my taste um became a little bit more of a complex and uh complicated.
