Slashdot Mirror

There are a bunch more in Switched at Birth.

In addition to the visual resemblances of characters and settings illustrated in the article, I'm compiling a list of resemblances of background music. One includes a three-way among Lode Runner, Bomberman, and the first Katamari Damacy.

The hairdresser robot was apparently caught playing with another hairdresser robot's power socket, a sort of groinal attachment like the Kryten android from Red Dwarf. The company is looking into this behavior to see if it actually improves performance.

I hope they bring back Ice Hockey for the Wii-Mote.

For all of you who miss the challenge in recent Zeldas, I direct your attention to Alundra and Alundra 2.

Hate to reply to myself, but here's a funny little site I found on it:

The "END DAY" screenshot is at the end, plus it has two other classic plots for you to laugh at :] I still remember that...

Oh, you mean when they had to concentrate on making the games balanced, fun and enjoyable, rather than who can make the prettiest facial graphics for the gloating-after-the-goal cinematic...?

Sign me up for NES "Ice Hockey" any day. ;) No, that's not an example of a *good* hockey game, but it was enjoyable. Blades of Steel was a bit better.
