Xbox On PC
Blinx is back
Microsoft are weaving thread and turning back clocks to bring Xbox to PC; and that’s the original Xbox, that big black box. Four games:
- Blinx: The Time Sweeper
- Conker Reloaded: Live and Reloaded
- Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge
- Fusion Frenzy
are all available to buy on PC, but if you have ‘licence’ (yes, I need a licence to play a game) already for these games on your Xbox console you can play them on without purchase. Xbox Wire writes that ‘Your library is more than just a collection of games. It is your personal history of epic stories and treasured memories from the past.’ I would agree, it’s a shame Microsoft doesn’t.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Returning to Turok with the collection on Switch.
