Bring 'em back AliveI remember being not nearly as impressed by, and that despite the fact I really like Bruce Boxleitner. But maybe I should give it another shot. I'm not quite as picky as I used to be, since finding a decent tv series to watch these days, of any kind, is kind of like trying to grate cheese with a snowball.
Peter Jackson's Kong is indeed a good choice. It holds up as a better movie than I remembered. A lot of the CG on Skull Island aged poorly, but overall I still liked it more when I rewatched it a short while ago than I did the first time around back in the day. I'm not sure why, maybe it's just more comfortable to watch at home since it's so long, or maybe on smaller screen it's easier to focus not on the spectacle but other stuff the movie does right, cause it's a film with really good characters and plenty of heart. I also really appreciated this time around how it creates a real sense of time and place for that depression era New York. All the fantastical stuff that follows feels more grounded because of that, I really liked that.
The original version was for Amiga, still as good and as frustrating as ever.
Someone ported the Switch version to PC,

It's not perfect (I like the turn-based battles more than the strategic maps), but it has a good atmosphere and it's a lot of fun in small doses. It can also be fun to go through and unlock new characters, etc.
Only one of the starting characters is an Indiana Jones type, so the game starts to feel less like an Indy homage and more a general pulp adventure homage as you progress.
>Sigh< so many gret opportunities wasted on the wretched roguelike fad.
