@exQUIZitely I remember seeing this for the first time at an amusements in Blackpool. Might be memory going but the screen was like a crystal ball. Totally blown away. didn't have the £ for more than a couple of goes.

Imagine seeing this for the first time in 1983! In terms of graphics, this wasn’t just miles ahead… it was basically a whole other dimension. Yes, the difficulty level was insane, but even just seeing one more screen or getting past one more trap was so worth it.

@PeteMatthe59446 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Gerout

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg I wonder if they'd call it Gerexit. Which didn't sound great when i said it out loud.

Perhaps Germany will be the next to leave?

@Polymarket Probably not the only one, but Tom Clancy had this tech in "Rainbow Six" (book).

JUST IN: Researchers warn 6G could detect people through walls, monitor breathing & heartbeats, & potentially enable mass surveillance even without a phone.

@LettersDesk August the 12th for the next one..

@exQUIZitely Had it on the 3DO! a good game but not much variety in play beyond upgrading the bike iirc.

A bit of Mad Max apocalypse with a pinch of Ben Hur chariot racing flair... that's what you get from an unhinged dude on a high-speed bike with a baseball bat! Road Rash (1991) was truly a spectacle. Did you bat-swing and kick your path to glory back in the day?

@JCFights “Now Youse Can’t Leave”

This might be the highest IQ employee in New York. He let them steal, then had them both locked up crying.

@_Yowsa_ Same vibes

This scene still makes me mad, 38 years later 😡

@cimerians Never knew he drew about this legend, great picture.

@exQUIZitely any examples of this style recently? They seem like they would be cheaper to produce and benefit from franchises etc. Im not much of a gamer these days but cant remember anything new like them. Monkey Island was our favourite.

Adventure games had a massive run in the 80s and 90s (Infocom, Sierra, and LucasArts are the standout studios). I know that the genre isn't completely dead but it's certainly way past its peak. Big studios are not creating new ones (and haven't done so in a long time), while indi-devs have put together some wonderful little gems. Do you remember the very first adventure game you ever played? It was King's Quest for me... at an age where English was a challenge, but I played it nonetheless and loved it. The fact that you could "talk" to the computer blew my mind as a kid. What about you?

@GHWTowler a trendy name for an indoctrination point.

What is a third space?

@pinstripedline @AlexLuck9 its a great expansion of the original thread which was very interesting. there is a breadth of knowledge here an d excellent to see.

This is a great thread by @AlexLuck9 in response to my ALFA thread - its a brilliant read and well worth your time!

@piratesmurf24 @currys Email the PR dept of who makes the prize and tell them you have won it.

Hey @currys its been 5 weeks since I won this and I havent received anything yet? 😊 any chance of an update please?

@YesterdaysBrit1 @RayJones34 He'll go for a p155 in the wardrobe with two of those.

@RayJones34 Whisky chasers required

ANOTHER ONE AT LEAST IF HE WANTS TO GET PISSED

@HenryAv63694996 @pietergaricano hard not to notice the "Dumbing down" of things. Watch an episode of Bullseye on Challenge and see the Qs they were getting, the few educational things on TV now etc.

@pietergaricano Has our IQ declined or only the people in power? Just the fist question, "the good or evil of novel reading" reveals so much. They believed in truth.

Everyone's seen the old Harvard entrance exam, but how would you do at the 1878 exam to join the British Indian Civil Service?

@exQUIZitely Pang! (And Super Pang! SNES)

I've been thinking about games that feel truly ageless - ones that are essentially as enjoyable and satisfying today as they were when they first released. You can go back to classics like Pong, Space Invaders, or Pac-Man, but it’s hard to deny that you can see (and feel) their age now. They’re still fun, but time hasn’t passed them by unnoticed. I would argue that Tetris is the most ageless game ever made. It never relied on flashy graphics or impressive sound; its strength lies in one of the simplest and most brilliant concepts in gaming history. I'm sure it will still be played in 100 years - and that it will have exactly the same addictive appeal then as it does now. Can you think of any other games that fit this pretty rare category of a game that simply doesn't age?

@Fascinate_Hist This is one of my favourites. Don't know where it is though.

The craftsmanship of an ancient Roman road has serious aura about it. Today's roads - not so much.

@maniaUFO What's he filmed this on, a Geiger Counter?

This video surfaced online a couple of years ago, allegedly filmed by tomb robbers in Egypt to impress a potential buyer.

@LDSb6b4 @StarPlatinum_ last time i saw legs like that they were hanging out a birds nest.

@StarPlatinum_ Aint no 10/10s in this world with these cricket legs mate

- you have 1500 followers - you've locked down your 10/10 girl - you spent 5 years together - but the soccer star from your country with 50 million followers wants your girl. - she dumps you in 2 weeks for Lamine Yamal - now he took her to the World Cup Competition was unfair.

@shitbritishpics Reasonable looking spread. £40 back then.

@PeasantLevy @KILLTOPARTY Doesn't sound like there's a day this guy doesn't get nagged to shit.

@KILLTOPARTY >what he usually does on Thursday's That would be enough to make me never come home

Never coming home must feel so good
