I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.
Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.
Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.
I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.
Upskill. I’m not ‘upskilling’ someone, I’m training them.
Would you settle for a single clergyman?
Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.

I also like to boot up and listen to the Amiga title music for SWIV and the Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack of Revenge of Shinobi.
I thought Ballistic Gel Torso was the actor from The Usual Suspects, no?
This was also my first Linux distro after having used Sun’s Solaris while at uni. I think I tried out Slack and Suse at around the same time, but stuck with RedHat and related distros for about 6 years.
If they were trained by the Paris firefighters then they can face anything
Critically panned, across the board, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It could have done with another couple of rounds of script polishing.

I am not renting my corporeal existence from a megacorporation. There is no way this is ever affordable to the masses without some pretty huge caveats
He truly is the Holy Farter
The culture novels, such a good pick!
I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn’t match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I’ll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today’s standards.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movie made yet.
