The opening credits of the episode where Sayid goes underground with the terrorists (there are terrorists in EVERY drama show on teevee these days, eh?), they're playing games.
This is the first 'cultural reference' to videogames that I've seen in a primetime drama, at least that I can remember.And what is that game - Half Life?
L'8 luglio 2015 è stato presentato ufficialmente a Highgate, Londra, la nuova console di videogiochi ZX Vega. Basato sull'architettura del Sinclair ZX Spectrum, il Vega è sviluppato e prodotto dalla Retro Computers Ltd (www.zxvega.co.uk), un'azienda fondata da Clive Sinclair, Chris Smith, David Levy e Paul Andrews ed è stato finanziato attraverso una campagna su Indiegogo che ha raccolto circa 150.000 sterline, il 50% in più del traguardo inizialmente fissato. Io sono stato invitato all'evento, unico italiano presente, in quanto nella dotazione iniziale di 1.000 giochi compare anche il mio Cousin Horace, uscito nell'ottobre 2014 (per saperne di più: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).
Nella foto: il Vega accanto alla sua confezione. È evidente il richiamo alle linee del primo modello di ZX Spectrum, disegnato da Rick Dickinson e lanciato nel 1982.

On the 8th of July, 2015, the ZX Vega, a new videogame console, was officially presented in Highgate, London. Based on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum architecture, the Vega is developed and produced by Retro Computers Ltd (www.zxvega.co.uk), a company founded by Clive Sinclair, Chris Smith, David Levy and Paul Andrews, and it was funded through an Indiegogo campaign which raised about £150,000, 50% more than the initially set target. I was invited, the only one from Italy, because my Cousin Horace, released in October 2014, has been included in the initial set of 1,000 games coming with the console (more on this can be found at: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).
Photo: the Vega alongside its box. It is clearly inspired to the appearance of the ZX Spectrum first model, designed by Rick Dickinson and released in 1982.
Clockwise: Beyblade G-Revolution (GBA), Beyblade: Metal Fusion (DS), Beyblade VForce: Super Tournament Battle (GameCube) and Beyblade: Let It Rip! (Sony PlayStation).
