What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

  • It was just included in the Genesis part of Switch Online Expansion Pack.

  • It was made by Game Refuge, who also developed Rampage for Midway! They went back into arcade gaming, and still have a website: http://gamerefuge.com/

  • Yes, Solar Jetman was terrific! An underrated highlight of the Pickford Bros' output. It's like Gravitar but much less frustrating.

    It's not well known, but Rare commissioned ports of it for home computers that were never released. The Commodore 64 version was found and can be downloaded from this page.

  • RAMPART. An Atari Games arcade game with strong strategy and puzzle elements. Very difficult in the arcade, and has like 12 home ports, including one as late as the PS3. A lot of Atari arcade games from that era aren't talked much about these days, but with Rampart it feels especially egregious.

    I could mention lots of games here. I love lots of overlooked games. I even like Athena, of all things, and I am fully aware of its many flaws.

    • How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though?

    Jump

  • Reddit is too big to die quickly (unless they suffer a catastrophic failure), but it's easy to see that it was an inflection point for them, that it's downhill from here. Remember: at one point, it looked like Yahoo Directory and Internet Explorer would be around forever too.

    • How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

    Jump

  • Also, even if you manage to get the recommendations out off of her front page generally, if one shows up and she clicks on it, it'll start recommending them again. Youtube's recommendation algorithm is really crappy, and assume you're all about the things you watch recently.

    Jump

  • The videos you watch on Youtube influence the ones you're recommended. I once put in a couple of 8 hour cat videos for to entertain a feline friend while I was away, and for a while Youtube kept recommending them to me. I had convinced it that I was a cat.

    Get her to watch other videos (or even watch them on her behalf using her account), and also mark the awful ones at Not Interested > I Don't Like This Video using the thumbnail menu. It'll take some concerted effort though.

  • Remember! You can't say "fiduciary duty" without saying "douche" and "doody."
