No Dpad - Mines In Space Review: The best mine-sweeper game ever?

No Dpad:

As a child, my parents gave me a Texas Instruments computer that ran programs - no one called them "applications" back then - from cassette tapes, and I had some tapes of simple arcade games. I eventually moved on to a DOS box and discovered Sierra's adventure games and shareware titles such as Commander Keen and Duke Nukem, who would later go on to immense fame and popularity, but was then a B-rate action platformer. I ran with DOS all the way through my first year of college, stubbornly refusing to "upgrade" to Windows. But Tomb Raider 2 put the nails in the coffin, unable to run on DOS as the first had, and so I reluctantly embraced the world of graphical operating systems, icons, menu bars and mouse-based input.

It was a difficult time for me. I thoroughly enjoyed Tomb Raider 2, but I held nothing but contempt for Windows 95. And when Tomb Raider was done, I had nothing. It was then that I discovered Minesweeper, a default inclusion on all Windows installations and the first logic-based puzzle game I had ever found enjoyable. Minesweeper was merciless; a single mistake would cost you the game. New games came and went, but Minesweeper was always there to meet me when the fancy had passed. When I finally moved on from Windows, embracing the world of Mac, I'd like to stay I never looked back. But in moving on, I left Minesweeper behind. It felt as if I'd been released from prison, but had left my dearest, truest friend behind bars.

I prefer play the original more than this

RE3 need another remake

Why not port RE4 remake to meta quest 3?

Profchaos47d ago

Because the headset isn't capable of running it simply put it's not powerful enough.

Look at metro awakening on quest 3 that's pushing it to its extreme and it's quite far behind PC and PS for graphical capabilities.

Wow I thought they would abandon this as the sales for village and 4 were abysmal

JEECE47d ago

For whatever reason and despite all evidence to the contrary, their are some companies bent on convincing themselves and others that people want to play premium games on Apple devices.

VersusDMC47d ago

It's assumed apple is paying for the ports. Apple probably paid a lump sum for all the RE games so capcom is just finishing up the contract.

Or maybe Capcom sees this as port practice for the switch 2 or these ports are what the switch 2 versions will be?
