A quotation from Richard Steele
Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Irish writer and politician

Similar to a good record or song, some video games accompany me ever since I was first introduced to them. "The Sentinel" ("The Sentry" in the US) from 1986 is such a game. I was first introduced to it when I bought the tape version at a discount for my Commodore 64 (which was somewhere in late 1987).
I also played the AtariST, Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions, the latter being my favourite 8 bit version.
Today "The Sentinel" is often described as a "3D strategy game, involving resource management and timing". But back in the day the concept was absolutely new and often bulkily described as a "3D variant of the classic chess game".
And it seems that this game made an impression on other people as well, which is why there is a nice "fan remake" for modern systems: Pinnacle

If you like those 1980s "chequerd floor" aesthetics and like to solve logic puzzles but do not yet know "The Sentinel", then you should try out "Pinnacle"

One Weekend – Two Pinnacle Rides
Reading Time: 2 minutes
This weekend I know of two challenging rides that I could do. The first is a 140km ride with 2000m of climbing, eventually getting to the top of the Salève. The second is a 153km walk with 2500m of climbing to the Col Du Grand St Bernard.
Col Du Grand St Bernard
With the ride to the Col Du Grand St Bernard I suspect that I would be okay with riding from Nyon to Martigny. It's when the climbing starts that I have doubts. It's a one thousand meter leap. My biggest climb in a day of cycling was 1600m in total. With 2500m of climbing this is 900m than I have done before. I am not comfortable with making such a big leap, especially after one of the longest distances I have ever cycled.
Geneva
With the second ride I am not too worried about the first seventy kilometres. I expect the pace to be fast, and to have to work to keep up, and fuel up regularly but I think I can cope. It's with the climb of the Salève that I have a small doubt.
There are thirty five kilomtetres of climbing to get to the top of the Salève but the gradiant is reasonable. This is not La Baudichonne or the climb to La Barillette. It is doable.
And Finally
Usually by this evening or tomorrow morning I will know what other opportunities are available for group rides. That is when I will make my decision. I will rest on Friday and Sunday, so I can push myself on Saturday. I think that cycling to Martigny would be a good first step, and then I can try cycling from Nyon to the Col. I think that to do both challenges at once is bound to fail.
With the salève climb I believe that the probability of success is high, if I remember to cool myself at fountains and avoid sprinting on downhill sections. Ideally if one or two people are at my level that would be pleasant. I am the Lanterne Rouge regularly enough on rides that involve climbing.

Saw a discussion about how once you find your “end all be all” keyboard that they then switched to hunting for the perfect mouse.
…and then they feared that they’d do the same with cameras, then fountain pens, motorcycles, a perfect pet, …and spouse and then baby carriage and then…

One of the more sophisticated strategy games of the #1980s published for #8bit platforms was #TheSentinel also known as #TheSentry - it's difficult to describe the gameplay, but imagine a chess inspired, fast paced 3D strategy game.
While the original version is still a good recommendation to every #RetroGaming fan, there is also a modern fan remake called #Pinnacle and those who are familiar with The Sentinel may like to have a closer look:

"...in terms of the thematic material, we didn't want to put in any of our own baggage. I mean, we had no interest in putting our messages into this movie. But, we thought that we should honour #Tolkien by putting his messages into it." — #PeterJackson

It's really cool to see both #Pinnacle and #MongoosePublishing joining #Paizo's #ORC horde. A proper #TravellerRPG SRD in the same licensing space as #SavageWorlds makes my mouth water.
