The History of Sega's Cyber Police ESWAT - Arcade console documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAhzz-N3OJY





Quote
Sega’s ESWAT, like many ’80s arcade games, spread from the desire to create a game based off of a movie without actually buying the license.
In this case, it’s heavily influenced by the 1987 action classic RoboCop, whose arcade rights were owned by Data East (and actually pumped out a relatively decent title.)
After all, who wouldn’t want to play as a robot shooting up criminals?

Coming August 30th 2022! Fatal Fury the Motion Picture on Blu-Ray in a  limited edition Steel Book!
English dub, Japanese language, English subtitles, 1080p high definition, region A disc.








Quote
A chance encounter with a mysterious girl named Sulia sets Terry Bogard in a race to prevent the reincarnation of a god!
Sulia's brother Laocorn is out to collect the six shards of the Armor of Mars, which would grant him untold power if it were completed.
The artifact belonged to their ancestor, Gaudeamus, said to be the man who finally stopped Alexander the Great's conquest, but was killed himself soon after.
With the power of the armor, Laocorn could turn back the tides of history and take revenge, conquering all that stands in his way.
Already possessing three pieces of the armor, Sulia's brother is way ahead of Terry, and what's more, he'll have to go through Laocorn's minions, each powerful in their own right!
Will he be able to defeat Laocorn and stop the rebirth of the god of war?

SEGA Is Teasing A New Game, Reveal Happening Soon



Quote
IGN's 'Summer of Gaming' continues tomorrow and apparently an exciting "world premiere exclusive" will be presented by SEGA.
In a teaser video, all there is an odd sound clip that lasts for about eight seconds.
Some are saying it kind of sounds like a Dolphin... leading to calls for Ecco the Dolphin to return, but we'll try not to speculate here as it could be for anything.

Sometimes it worked, sometimes it's not.
When it worked, it's usually cool.

It's not most of the times for me. Would love to mess about with the OpenAI Dall-E program myself though.

Well, yeah. More often's not working too for most of people.



That's why it feels satisfying when it's working.
