Amanda is still very consumed by studying, but i had a few free moments of downtime last week after concluding a round of jobhunt-phone calls, resume emailing, etc.
Instead of watching a film I settled on picking up Snatcher - A 1988 japanese scifi-thriller game written by Hideo Kojima.
Snatcher is essentially the film Bladerunner, in video game form.
There is nothing wrong with that.
That means the plot revolves around a detective in post-japan New Kobe city, who uncovers cases where murderous robots apparently kidnap & replace individuals in society with cleverly disguised mechanical duplicates.
Rather then watching a two hour film staring Harrison Ford, - you walk the hero, Gillian, through warehouses, crimescenes, dark tunnels, city streets, etc. - by selecting from a short, ever changing list of immediate items to inspect or things to say.
It took me about 10 hours to play.
Which for a game, (think Mario) is fairly fast. Thanks to X display technology (X11 first released in 1987/88), bluetooth, Nintento, and a bunch of other fancy contrivances of this modern world.
