Twin Peaks Atari 2600 game is the most lovingly-crafted, accurate adaptation since Arkham Asylum

Really, go with us on this one

What's th⛄at, you say? Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best licensed game ever? It captures the essence of the original license and then explores it through compl🐭etely fitting gameplay mechanics like no other licensed game in existence? WRONG! That was the case, but now we have Black Lodge, a simulated Atari 2600 game by Jak Locke, based on Twin Peaks. It does all the things Arkham does, but thanks to its brutally unsophisticated block-o-vision nature (rather than despite it), it actually does them just as well if not better.

The game is, you see, set in the nightmarishly psychedelic, labyrinthine Black Lodge which Agent Cooper has to negotiate in the last episode of the show. And as such its concept is a perfect fit for a 2600 game. The Black Lodge itself and 2600 games in general, you see, operate on the same rules. Both look and sound weird. Both have abstract internal logic at best. Both make bounteous use of repeated, identica💝l rooms. Both are tough to nav👍igate, are completely unfair, and will go all-out to kill you for every second of your contact with them.

(or if you're a Mac user). Get it now.

Now I'm going to get out of here before one of you uncharitable sods makes a joke at my expense about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:my beloved Deadly Premonition already being an Atari 2600 Twin Peaks game.
