In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.

Preservation time. 🏛️
I uploaded the 2004 Italian point-and-click adventure S.P.Q.R. - These Romans Are Crazy, a "funny" time travel piece.
The game was basically lost media until this upload, since there is ZERO information about it on the internet.

I'm so happy I already have winter tyres mounted on my car and, especially, that I'm not lying!
Imagine that!
Jokes aside, that's a rare occurrence and it's great.

Alright I found it.
Angst: Rahz's Revenge is the worst FPS game ever made. Like Dr Radiaki doesn't even come close. Enemies who sometimes die other times don't, horrible level design, most mechanics are broken, no story, broken weapons.
It's uh... really hard to believe they sold this.

This has been a truly amazing discovery
Beyond the Wall of Stars (1992) is one of those weird multimedia experiences tailored-made for me. Ultralow-budget sci-fi interactive multiple-choice book with bonkers plot, water pistols, digitized actors and all that good stuff.
It was supposed to be a trilogy but alas, that never happened.

What originally prompted me to spend months researching how Sega consoles and games were sold in Italy in the 80s/90s was the fact that I kept seeing people adopting "US memories", remembering things that never happened (like Sega vs. Nintendo ads).
That's (also) why preservation is important.

Once again, 'Hyrule Warriors' did the "let's take the main game and give it a somewhat semi-decent plot, you know, to make it more appealing" - to be fair, "TOTK" had at least four times the plot of "BOTW".
And remove """"Link"""", because that blue peice of cardboard doesn't deserve the name.

'StarFox' has always been my favourite part of every single 'The Legend of Zelda' game.
Since the beginning of time.
Today.
But seriously, "Hyrule Warriors" is even better than the last one.

Welp, I finally made it. My new video on The Museum of Anything Goes is out. I talk about this pretty obscure piece of 90s multimedia that was among the first to blur that thin line between art, games, VR museum and uh... Twin Peaks?

This list does not contain Super Cycle or the good arcade ports, but it is still a good list except for the last one and for the fact that I STILL think that Turbo Out Run and Power Drift are better than number 1 and 2 DARN YOU COMMOFORM.
I've played a lot of bad C64 racing games but thanks to Commodore Format we'll prove the machine can mix it with the best... or will we? Plus, The 73% Trials return.
