Similar to a good record or song, some video games accompany me ever since I was first introduced to them. "The Sentinel" ("The Sentry" in the US) from 1986 is such a game. I was first introduced to it when I bought the tape version at a discount for my Commodore 64 (which was somewhere in late 1987).

I also played the AtariST, Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions, the latter being my favourite 8 bit version.

Today "The Sentinel" is often described as a "3D strategy game, involving resource management and timing". But back in the day the concept was absolutely new and often bulkily described as a "3D variant of the classic chess game".

And it seems that this game made an impression on other people as well, which is why there is a nice "fan remake" for modern systems: Pinnacle

If you like those 1980s "chequerd floor" aesthetics and like to solve logic puzzles but do not yet know "The Sentinel", then you should try out "Pinnacle"

So almost an entire WEEK after I transferred money from my bank, #Paypal finally added twenty dollars to my account, three to five business days my...

ANYWAY, the point is now I can finally order either #Casablanca or #TheSentinel on #Youtube, assuming these tariff shenanigans havent tanked the Canadian dollar, further.

So which should I order, a revered classic that seems all too topical these days, or Casablanca?

In Ghana 🇬🇭 when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.
