The Sentinel in VR

Way back in the day there was a game called The Sentinel, created by Geoff Crammond.

I played this to death on the C64. I always thought this would make an interesting game in VR. Well it turns out that someone has updated the game to run on PC's including a VR version.

Augmentinel.

Tried it on the Oculus Rift S and it works well.

Lol nice. What a strange thing to have happened, based on the Spectrum release. I remember the boast in Crash at the time about the thousands of screens it had.

Now if somebody would just do Midwinter.

This is super. The C64 was of course the superior computer of that age.

I remember that game! I read about it in a pc magazine at the time, needed a powerful pc to run it.
