The Lords of Midnight (1984). Turn-based strategy with multiple armies, a pseudo-3D view, 4,000 locations. Took 48 kilobytes of RAM and a 256 by 192 pixel display with (barely) 16 colours. Still remarkably playable today.

In risk management, risk is usually assessed as a combination of impact (how serious is it if this happens?) and probability (how likely is this to happen?) "10% in the next decade" and "end of humanity" puts you squarely in the bit of the AI risk matrix labelled "Butlerian Jihad Right Now".

Thoughts on the #NintendoDirect for the #Zelda Ocarina of Time re-release. It’s pretty. Perhaps too pretty in places. I don’t think it’s made with AI though as some haters are pushing. I like that you can whistle/hum/play tunes Link’s learned and the game will play them back. (1/3)
