Stern’s New Transformers G1 Pinball Table Is Approachable and Packed With Nostalgic Fun
Roll out! Updated: June 16, 2026, 7:30 p.m. Hot on the heels of their incredibly cool Pokemon pinball machine, Stern Pinball Inc. already has a new machine queued up for play. Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye is their newest effort, and we got to play a ton of it at IGN Live and at Summer Games Fest. Good news: It’s really fun, and perfectly incorporates the retro ‘80’s version of Transformers, including the Generation 1 cartoon and toys.
미나 더 할로워 - 리뷰
'미나 더 할로워'의 초반 1시간을 플레이하고 나면, 어디로 가야 할지 정해진 루트가 없는 가혹한 세계에 홀로 남겨진 느낌을 받게 된다. 어느 방향으로 가든 단 몇 대만 맞으면 목숨을 앗아가는 적들이 배회하고 있다. 바로 그 순간, 이 레트로풍 RPG가 겉보기와 달리 엄청난 깊이를 숨기고 있다는 사실을 깨달았다. 그리고 그 깊은 매력에 한 번 빠져들자 도저히 패드를 놓을 수 없었다. 이 게임은 게임보이 컬러 시절의 명작들을 아름답게 재현하면서도, 꽤 매운맛을 자랑하는 도전적인 어드벤처 게임이다. 또한 자신이 영감을 받은 고전들의 흔적을 숨기지 않는다. '젤다의 전설'의 오픈 월드 구조를 빌려오고, '캐슬바니아'의 고딕 호러 분위기와 스산한 칩튠 음악을 더했으며, 프롬소프트웨어의 소울라이크식 전투와 성장 방식을 버무려 놀라움을 선사한다. 하지만 이 모든 요소가 단순히 섞인 것을 넘어, 각자의 장점이 영리하게 맞물리며 완벽한 시너지를 낸다.
Mina the Hollower - Review
After the opening hour of Mina the Hollower, I found myself dropped into a hostile world with no obviously “correct” path to follow and roaming enemies that could kill me in just a few hits no matter what direction I chose. That’s about when I realized this retro RPG was hiding far more than I expected beneath the surface – and once I burrowed on in, I never wanted to come back up.
《Mystery Science Theater 3000》传奇遗失剧集被发现并上传至YouTube
《神秘科学剧院3000》第一季中一集完整的剧集《星际力量：逃亡外星人2》已被上传至YouTube。这集自1988年11月24日首播以来，一直未向公众公开。Reddit用户/u/arthurputie在一次车库拍卖中获得了这盘VHS录像带，正如其在r/MST3K版块的发帖中所解释的那样。 《神秘科学剧院3000》历经多次停播与回归，先后在喜剧中心频道、科幻频道播出，最近又在Netflix上回归。但该系列最初是1988年在明尼苏达州独立的UHF电视台KTMA制作的本地节目。 对于《神秘科学剧院3000》的粉丝来说，这些剧集就像《神秘博士》丢失的剧集一样具有传奇色彩。第一季（直到第二季才登陆喜剧中心频道）仅在本地播出，当时并未向公众提供，但KTMA时期的剧集未能面世还有其他原因。在1995年出版的《神秘科学剧院3000...
