The thoughtfulness going into the art is one of the many things that makes Nighthawks special!

BTW, if you're wondering what some of MY favorite games are, here's a list of most (but certainly not all!) of the games I really enjoy. WARNING: This is not a short list. It's close to 60,000 words! DOUBLE WARNING: I just realized I need to add Nighthawks and some other recent games to the list!

Yay!

Heh. Their best one is still when they accidentally put a Tomb Raider 3 demo on the disc and when you tried to run it, it just said "This demo is expired." And then if you tried to run it again, "This demo is EXPIRED. Are you stupid or something?!"

Call me a cynic but I’m starting to suspect this guy’s motives may not be as pure as he claims…

IIRC, it also had an almost nipple sighting in the form of the Noctropolis demo.

The article can be called "I Came Down To The Sea Of Crap".

I've played ICFTD a couple of times and I still have *no* idea of the thought process behind the TurboGrafx version.

Oh, god, one of the most confusing games ever…

@richardcobbett.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:47 AM

Indeed. A fairly typical plot. youtu.be/pf7sqaezPbU?...

Hurrah!

I'm only a few days in but man, Nighthawks has THE JUICE. (Juice = blood, presumably.) I'm doing the thing where I'm extremely busy by day & then unwind with this for an hour or two at night, when the rest of the house is asleep, and that fourth wall is really starting crackle.

Watching the new MST3K/Rifftrax. Particularly enjoying the funky rim lighting on Mike and the bots.

Ah, Unity...

"And why does it still manage to smell better than Peperami?"

@richardcobbett.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 7:00 PM

Reviewing games? What a twist!

@richardcobbett.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:22 PM

Yes. You have to wait for the *entire* sound to finish :-P
