Idc what anyone says Rocket Sloth is easily a top tier channel. So many high quality long form videos on just random games. The perfect games to either throw on and fall asleep to or just throw on while doing something else, like runescape.

I should let you know that a pretty much full build of early timeshift for the 360 (Just as Sierra got ahold of it and before the development restart) was discovered and dumped onto internet archive. it works perfectly in the Xenia emulator and it has a lot more content in it then the nearly complete PC atari press build that was also dumped onto the internet a few years ago.

I had a Hongkong Silver (that's what we called a bootleg) of Thrill Kill in late 90s. It looked official except the silver disc. The game was almost complete. Only a few missing ending cutscenes. I was the hero in my friend group but I can't remember where I got it from.

[@Husqiy]

One to note is Star Wars 1313, it was probably better than Outlaws at the very least

[@Evokai6419]

Possibly? I'd like to think it was but for all we know it could have gotten grabbed by a different studio during the move and been not great, the original concept only has a trailer and some small gameplay moments I think to show things?

[@RocketSloth]

Assault low key slapped

[@bobdylan1968]

@RocketSloth used to play custom games marathons of assault. A lot of free for all lives based snipers. You had a good amount of customization options for settings in that game, kinda like an early halo game. One of my most vivid childhood memories was my birthday party where I just had a big sleepover with the boys. Those old tube big screen TVs with the massive speaker base and starfox assault on GameCube, each of us sleeping for a few minutes at a time when we'd switch controllers for people.
