Sorry, but Acclaim really was that wild for a bit there. They also had a promotion where you’d get a free copy of one of the Turok games if you named a newborn child after him. For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone took them up on either offer, but it certainly brought in the publicity.

I was lucky enough to have the manual for ET lying around. It helps greatly in explaining the game’s bizarre logic (and how to escape the infamous pits). It’s not much weirder than most 2600 games once you read it, provided somebody didn’t throw it out thinking it was useless.

I’m so happy someone other than me remembers Radar Mission. I too still get the music stuck in my head from time to time.

Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy, and really evokes the feeling of giant planets and stars. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)

Sadly, even before the mod purge many subs couldn’t get that right. I don’t know how many discussions I had over the years about things that appeared in the sidebar, only to find the other person was looking at a completely different version of it. New.reddit.com was a problem from the start.

Yes indeed.

In with the Digg exodus, out when I learned my favorite 3rd party app was shutting down(Sync, though I’m excited for the Lemmy version!). It’s disappointing to learn Reddit’s leadership views communities as their property, and their disdain for volunteer moderators and 3rd party apps.

Looks like OP scrolled down a little too far in the user profile. There are several more from the last week, and they’re all downvoted:

I think they’re referring to the storage service at sync.com, not Firefox Sync.
