IIRC Lightshock rendered all the graphics in 640x480 resolution, but it was too heavy to run on 90s PCs so they had to cut it to 320x200. That's why the graphics are so pixelated.

I could be wrong cos it's been a while since I read it, but Horace the cat might be a reference to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. At some point they find the man responsible for running the universe, and as such has power over everything including life and death, but he just doesn't care. If I remember rightly, he had a cat named Horace, and lived in a kind of pocket dimension.

I can't remember the cat's name, but I love that you brought up the Man Who Rules the Galaxy. My favorite character in fiction and my GF a favorite moment in Hitchiker's. Here he is, the ultimate power in the galaxy. Zaphod cauterized his own brain in pursuit of him, that's how high the stakes are in this quest. He's part of a group of people seeking to correct the countless wrongs on the galaxy. And it's absolutely pointless. The pursuit of power was pointless, so Zaphod says screw it and leaves his co-conspirator stranded in the rain. RIP Douglas Adams, a frood who really knew where his towel was.

If he wins, he lives. But, every major piece he loses, a person that was close to him dies Really interesting to be reminded of that in this series of all places!

Hey Matt!! How long until we see Heavy Nova climb into the ring? This game has haunted me for three decades and I'm sure it's a Top 3 contender despite its "impressive" story mode. Check it out!!

"Why the Hell does it gotta be like this?" I felt that one in my soul.

3:25 : close enough! The "ce" in "Francesco" is read as in "change". You nailed Massimiliano, though!

I watched Ashens play Timeslaughter the other day and I'd love to see Matt take a look at it 😆

this reminds me of a movie trailer for a movie called "Bill and Ted's bogus journey". it starts with them getting killed by robot doubles of themselves... then challenging Death to games of THEIR choice. they picked Battleship and Twister! oh, and it ALSO reminded me of "Eternal Champions"...

The endings make it sound like they took a break from KI to play Twisted Metal for a bit.

Hearing Matt do an ad for Under Night In-Birth is surreal

I saw all the characters from the quick look up characters of what they look like in the origins but when they do the gameplay they look like Transformers
