Celebration, condemnation, innovation
Got sick of seeing this gathering dust on the shelf and gave it a burl on my 7800+. As a feat of programming, converting a beloved arcade shooter to a primitive console, it's super impressive. As a game in its own right...yeah, not bad at all.
You may baulk at the length of this documentary: 4x ~42-minute eps. That was my initial reaction. However, I now believe it's justified by how thoughtfully the makers explore the consequences of the crimes linked to the bloke in question.
If "Grommets" Vol. 1 is the funnest, most nostalgic GN of the year, then "A/C/E" Vol. 1 is the book that does the most interesting things with the medium while forcing the reader to confront harsh un/realities (via an Earth whose timeline is out of joint). I repeat: these stories are CONFRONTING. On that note, if you are triggered by the operations of the meat industry or by scenes of self-harm, best to stay away.
