Popular Post NutellaOrgies Posted July 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2018 Released in 1970 ? Crazy how the developers knew back in 1970 about the PS4 and PS Vita and managed to release it before the systems even came out. How in the world has no one ever tried to take the code and try to use it on the Atari back then? Did the game just need that much technology and power to run that it needed these systems? 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I have seen this before with other games on the site. Bridge Constructor Stunts was one of them but the game info card has since been adjusted after it's release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes your smartphone will somehow indicate that "today's" date is 1/1/1970 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted July 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2018 I opened this thread expecting / hoping it might be that this game was like a re-release / update of some ancient, ancient game predating the OG Atari or something. Disappointed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such-A-Goonie Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Quick technical explanation: January 1st, 1970 is a special date in computing as it's the start of UNIX time, or the UNIX epoch. It's an ever-increasing number that counts the number of seconds that have passed since that date (in UTC). It's useful for storing timestamps in a universal format, and also for things like ordering by date or selecting everything from January 2018 for example. It's also useful for storing release dates of games to name a random example, but if for whatever reason the release date of a game has the value of 0, it'll show as January 1st, 1970. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a non-issue. A lot of modern systems already calculate UNIX time as 64-bit instead of 32-bit. And a lot of systems also provide milliseconds. But diving this deep into it goes way beyond the 'quick technical explanation' which, of course, was aimed at less technical people. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Yeah this is a “placeholder” date for games listed on the database we use with no release date, I told this particular developer about it actually the other day, however I’ll be able to fix this soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) At least the gamers then could throw on some Bowie (Queen, Floyd, Zeppelin.. you get the gist), trip (went with the safest word I could think of LOL), and enjoy their gaming lobbies together. These days.... we know how it goes Edited July 14, 2018 by Dangisuckatgamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
