Many people know of the SNES version of SimCity, but there was actually a version made for the NES that was unreleased, and The Video Game History Foundation published a few minutes of gameplay of the prototype for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0q93b_allY.
It looks similar to other versions of SimCity we know. The music is fairly repetitive (that 8-bit limitation has a lot to do with that, I'm sure) but the video here shows a lot of the gameplay features, including the monster destroying the city. The music of the short cutscenes with the animated characters (saying you have too much crime, etc) really have a kinda Mario sound to them, in my opinion.
This was a cool watch for SimCity fanatics like myself. 😂

Cregger's Resident Evil comes out in September, and while I didn't dig Barbarian or Weapons, I'm still psyched to try out his take on RE. Trailer just came out: https://youtu.be/SJPu1spHqfk

Similar to how @notjustbikes showed US regulation lead to more SUVs and trucks, Australia has tax incentives with similar results:
> For vehicles that can carry less than one tonne or seat less than nine people, the instant asset write-off limit is smaller – capped at $64,741 in the 2022-23 financial year.
> However, a $150,000 threshold applies for vehicles that can carry more than one tonne or seat nine or more people, regardless of whether such a high payload carrying capacity is required by the business.
> Additionally, heavy vehicles such as utes, vans and 4WDs, which can carry more than one tonne, are exempt from fringe benefits tax.

I don't do many preorders of anything, but I love the hell out of shooting games of all kinds- sometimes I gotta jump. Dezatopia came out in 2020 and I've had it on both my Switch and Steam wishlists digitally since then, it's supposed to be great. It's actually the very FIRST thing on my Switch wishlist from all those years ago! So when I heard it was coming out physical with Mecharitz, it was a no brainer. Sure, it took a long time to get here (I preordered in July and just got it now in December). But to me, the wait was worth it. In addition to the cartridge with both games and a manual, it came with another separate book, a CD of the soundtrack, and a poster.
So psyched to try both of these.

I rarely pre-order ANYTHING, much less a game, but sometimes I make exceptions. I've been wanting to grab Dezatopia on Switch for so long, it's literally the first thing I ever put on my Switch wishlist many years ago (which now has like, a couple hundred games on it). I was waiting for it to go on sale but it never really did. I'm glad I waited, really. I dig physical games, and now there's this combo that includes Mecha Ritz. GREAT bang for the buck. I'll of course post photos when it gets here in many months, but figured other fans of shooters might want to get in on this pre-order: https://www.strictlylimitedgames.com/collections/dezatopia-mecha-ritz

Submarine Survivor looks like my kind of game-- chaos, underwater combat, etc. It's on Steam already (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3030290/Submarine_Survivor) and has a free demo there.
Eastasiasoft has now ported yet another great-looking game to consoles (Switch, Xbox, Playstation) with this one-- the console version of Submarine Survivor releases on the 7th (Wednesday).

Horizontal arcade style shootemup Cycle Chaser H-5 is coming to Switch January 24 (it's been on Steam since 2023). This is another great looking one from Ratalaika Games. It has hand-drawn and vector-rendered 2D graphics, an FM soundtrack produced in YM2612, three weapon styles with three attack types each, and Free Run mode which makes the game accessible for all experience levels (I love stuff like that).

Before I see the new Return to Silent Hill (https://letterboxd.com/film/return-to-silent-hill), I'm currently going back and rewatching the first movie from 2006 (https://letterboxd.com/film/silent-hill - I haven't seen it since 2006!) and then after that I'll do Silent Hill: Revelation from 2012 (https://letterboxd.com/film/silent-hill-revelation-3d), which I actually haven't seen yet, and I haven't heard much about. Wonder if it was weird or not well received. Doesn't matter. I watch any weird old thing. 😂

Love the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers so much, always wanted to see the 1956 original. Today's the day. Stumbled across a pristine (and affordable) copy of the 2002 DVD release (with a bunch of special features) at a horror shop a while back. Physical media ftw 👾

David Cronenberg, master of body horror movies, was born today (March 15) in 1943 (during World War II!)
I saw his films 'Crash' and 'Naked Lunch' early, around the same time, in 1997 or 1998. Since then, I've seen many more of his- I just counted, I've seen 13 of his 23 films, and I've loved all of them. I'm a huge fan. My favorite was Shivers for a while. I'm not sure what it is now. Gotta see those final 10!
Happy birthday, David. We love you.

AFCC member Jake Peffer reviews #ClownInACornfield, which he says "Leaning in heavily to the dark comedy and horror elements, Clown in a Cornfield ends up being a surprisingly fun movie that subverts your expectations." https://www.jakescinemaroom.com/2025/05/clown-in-cornfield-2025-review.html #AFCC #MovieReview
