A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.

Alien Isolation is awesome if you want to walk around in a space like this, the animations and environment are really well done. Even the save system has this whole punch card and timer, it can be tense when you know the alien is nearby!

By the time you've paid for the game, a headset, a suitable graphics card, and about two dozen pairs of trousers to ruin for every hour of gameplay, then that sounds a pretty expensive hobby.
