Mattel really did have great box art. Shit controllers, but great cover art and decent graphics for the time. I remember when my buddy got the voice module and B17 Bomber. When that thing talked, it was like magic.
There is a lot to love about living in WV (politics aside) but antenna TV reception is not one of them, sadly. Even moreso since broadcasting went all-digital. Signals don't travel well around the mountains. I'd go back to an antenna in a heartbeat if I could get decent reception. I'm only about 15 miles away from a couple of the towers and can't even pick them up without a really huge roof antenna.
I loved it when it came out and would definitely play through it again, but I'm not sure prettier graphics and a few tweaks is worth $60 to me. Since Nintendo doesn't let their first party games ever get down to a reasonable cost after a while, I'll skip this one, I think.
If you've never played it, though, it's a really fun game.
Boy, the AI was drinking when it made that summary.
I've never heard anyone call the OG Enterprise crew "flat." It's definitely a 60s show, but it's great. Just have fun with it.
Just finished this a couple of days ago. The ending is a bit abrupt, I thought, but I sure did enjoy the ride. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.
Looks like 1988. There were quite a few Criterion releases that were laserdisc-only.
I think you've misinterpreted what I said. 2001: A Space Odyssey was released by Criterion on laserdisc, not Devil Doll. Not that Criterion hasn't had a few questionable films in their catalog. They released The Rock and Armageddon. Still scratching my head on those.
Criterion released 2001 on laserdisc. They just no longer have the rights to it. (I'm old.)
It's not bad. I think they did the best they could with the cast that is left. Character designs aren't great, but the ships and backgrounds are great. Inconsequential story, but still a welcome visit with old friends.
TIL they have Burger Kings in India. I'm guessing for the non-Hindu population? Genuinely surprised.
The main current Star Trek title has been a lot of fun, as has Defiant. The ST:TMP follow-up book hasn't been as good. Sometimes the characters don't look much like the actors. Still, IDW has been doing a good job overall with Trek, so I'm absolutely going to give this new one a chance.
