pc bioses have finally come of age

Posted on by

At last a bios to match the one (and only one I remember EVER seeing in a pc) on a mothrboard i had called topgun ; You could see graphics ! for starters ( this is back in the 90′s i mean this was amaaaazing and rare) and use your mouse to navigate ..remember bios’s up until 2011 have pretty much stayed as text with drill down based menus …very 1978..
Now asus , gigabyte and co have finally caught up to that famed motherboard and produced quite frankly an amazing front end for your motherboard ,heres a vid showing 3 top motherboards with the new uefi type bios

Streets of Rage Remake Is Finally Finished…..

Posted on by

8ight years later that is !

one of my all time fav 16 bit games . And I cant believe someone had the geek-out to make this happen but thankfully they did and its here..it looks amazing(with scanline optiosn galore for that sony trinitron feel) like you could be mistaken for thinking your playing an original sega game inside an emulator (lets hope they dont sue him, i mean how embarassing not just because of the david v goliath reasons alone but for the sheer fact this is better than what they could release these days on xbox arcade or psn store for example, its that authentic.
This is no flash game nonsense people this is the real deal a ‘.exe ‘ file something that runs natively(works great in ‘wine’ emulation on linux too!)
download the game here enjoys!!

games that take you back..

Posted on by

I was thinking the other day about games I remembered not necesarlly for their graphics but the atmosphere they created the story and the sheer goose bump creating moments..(now deusex is one of them but thats on steam to buy and well accessable,and requires an article all of its own im sure, these two games are not really available anymore unless you can find a iso copy on the net)

Firstly homeworld 1/2 I didnt know much about this pc game it was just another space RTS to me untill I installed it and witnessed full-on anime intros (in a digitally painted storyboard kinda way like alot of cartoons are done today)cutscenes and expert voice acting and an amazing soundtrack score going on .
I then gave the tutorial and first level a go and was hooked ,like i wanted to get those b****** Taiidan Empire for not wanting us to go back to our homeworld. Amazingly clean simple visuals and brilliant design, made this an unforgettable experience..

Also around 1997 few years before homeworld was Bladerunner (the game by westwood studios) .Already a fav film of mine so when I heard they were making a licensed game involving those ol’skool point & click mechanics (in the style of those classic lucasart games) I just had to get it!
And for the most part it was fun and very atmostpheric. So cool was it to be playing in the world of the bladerunner (although this was’nt as Deckard :( but a similar story arc with a different bladerunner named Ray McCoy with another ‘hunt the replicant” sidestory to compliment the film perhaps?as I understand it …)
With pre-rendered backrounds it was a treat for the eyes although pc graphics at the time were better than this , it still worked quite nicely ;As a narative based game with adventure/choose-your-path gameplay you didnt really need a full blown roaming-around-the-world-3d-engine like we are currently used too .You just point & click, read some backstory, watch some nice renders of the police headquaters or the apartments and sink into the amazing Vangelis score….

ive seen working fine on win7 in another youtube clip someone posted and already got homeworld running on a MBP win7 ,so retro pc gaming weekend here I come… now to think of some more games i played …hmm Out of This World (aka Another World)….
