Ideally it'd be something co-op, like a beat-em-up maybe, or Smash Bros (any flavor). Metroid Prime or MP Pinball would do it too.

I think it is definitely a shame that his name is not more well known. Everyone is familiar with something he made or had a hand in but they don't know who he wasFrown

Oh, you're in for a treat! Those classic Twilight Zone episodes are really good.

As for The Box, you confirmed what the commercials seemed to tell me. I don't want to know who Mr. Steward is or what organization he works for or why they're doing what they're doing. I think that would rob the story of most of its magic. It's complete as is.

I wouldn't mind having that book, certainly. It's cool to see what's going on behind the scenes sometimes Smile

Yeah, it's just over a year since Bradbury's passing. I'm not sure who of that generation of writers is even still living.

My word, that's a lot of flying! I like reading when on planes too. They can't tell you to stow your dang book! But if there's any turbulence and I try reading, I get motion sick really fast Undecided

Have not seen Soylent Green or Rollerball but I suppose I'm pretty deficient on my '70s sci-fi movies lol

While I delusionally hope to play all the games I have, I know there's no way I'll get through all my books lol. It seems like there is a site similar to backloggery but for books. Can't remember what it is though. But you should definitely pick up a copy of I Am Legend. It's pretty short, for a novel, and wouldn't add much to your burden Tongue Out

I didn't even know he had written for Star Trek before I did some research this morning. I'm gonna try to watch that episode somehow. And as for the books, just keep an eye out for I Am Legend. It's a pretty short novel and usually comes with some short stories to fill out the physical book. Shouldn't take you long to read.

I wouldn't say he created zombies. Those have roots back in voodooism at the very least, but I guess you could say he took them out of the supernatural and into real life and paved the way for them to become popular. I haven't seen any of the old adaptions of I Am Legend but I'd like to. I have seen the original Planet of the Apes and liked that. Did you know Rod Serling is responsible for the twist ending? Now there was another great storyteller Smile
