Wargaming is bringing back Master of Orion

Hmm The originalMaster of Orionwas before my time but,likeMyst, the sci-fi strategy title was one of my uncle’s favorites. He’d leave his laptop unattended and I’d screw around with it, failing miserably toexplore, expand, or accomplish much of anything. The 4X concept went above my head as a kid. But even with my limited knowledge, it’s not hard to be skeptical aboutWargming’s revival. It’s in development at NGD Studios “with key members from the original title’s team,” which sounds nice but is no guarantee that this (or any reboot) will live up to the beloved property, much less exceed it....

A chiptune tribute to John Carpenter’s synth movie scores

Sometimes it pays to stalk people on Twitter. For example, I was peeping in on Max Scoville’s feed when hedropped wordof a John Carpenter chiptune tribute album. Naturally, my interest was piqued. Famed film director John Carpenter not only made memorable movies likeThey LiveandBig Trouble in Little China, he also scored most of them himself. His lo-fi synthesized soundtracks were able to express so much through so little, a lot like how 8-bit era game composers were able to create memorable melodies with limited resources....
