  1. Finally I know what Electric Boogaloo is referred to.

    1. @adiwan I always assumed it was a remake, expansion, or otherwise continuation of canon of/in a series that gives the impression of low quality across the board... But I never actually bothered to look it up, how far off am I ?

      1. @critialcloudkicker There were a dozen fan projects that wanted to remake the game. Also there were also dozen announcements for a sequel but none of them came into fruition. This time it's an official remake. If you find the original for a very cheap price I'd suggest to play it but it has some odd quirks from the past and the rendering engine doesn't support high resolutions. I guess 800x600 is the max. I don't know either if it works on a current OS on 64 bit.

        1. @adiwan Oh, I'll dust off my old 2002 era laptop... ... ... I should probably try and find a Windows XP installation though, for I believe what is currently installed is called Debian Squeeze or Lenny

          1. @critialcloudkicker You can install Outcast within a virtual machine. Luckily the game doesn't require 3D acceleration.

            1. @adiwan Cool. I might give that a swing then. Provided my backlog and list of chores runs out before the remake has been made :+
