    Scrapping the bottom of the barrel, then opening a new one right afterwards.

    Honestly, getting arcade games and Korean or obscure European games seems really damn cool and interesting, sadly, none of those seem really all that great, but hey, still appreciate it.

    No. I imagine it's being pushed by more "important" (more popular, involving external companies -> harder deadlines) projects like Doom 64, Shadow Man, and Blade Runner.

    Also their vision of remastering Powerslave seemed not so trivial after all.

    What do you mean? As in involving more drastic changes?

    luj1 from what I recall, the “best” version of powerslave was spread across multiple builds or platforms. One had the best maps, another the best weapon textures, etc. So if they were going to do a damn good job, they were going to have to cut and splice their remastered version together from multiple codebases.

    I wonder if those talking heads influenced Fallout, or vice versa? Some of the KKnD heads really remind me of Harold.

    To borrow from lightbane , scraping the bottom of the barrel, selling the bottom of the barrel, then trying to sell the dirt beneath the bottom of the barrel.

    Powerslide (1998) re-release on Steam. GOG re-release was done by Atari, but this one is by Cosmi/ValuSoft for some reason:

    Honestly, the thing that caused more of an impression was Powerslide being managed by Atari for GOG, somehow i keep forgetting that Atari still exists, even though that Pong RPG game(yes, really) just came out and they announced a Missile Command remake/new version.

    Don't know why i keep forgetting about Atari still existing.
