i am still playing Delta-Six/Mess hall part, but please carry on guys, I will catch on.

but there is an observation I wanna bring in, the last time I played GR was on a mobile, and the ‘Ctrl/Breathing’ shooting trigger wasn’t there, it was always automatic, I mean it already shows up when needed; I guess that could have been a nice add/update to the PC version as well, as its kinda a hassle later on when fights get messy.

The game likes its references, so the thread just follows suit.

About the connection: Prisoner fans frequently debate whether John Drake of Danger Man and Number Six in The Prisoner are the same person. Like John Drake, Number Six is evidently a secret agent, but one who has resigned from his job.

I’ve lifted this from IMDB:

“It has been speculated that Number Six is in fact John Drake from Patrick McGoohan’s earlier series, Danger Man (1960) and Secret Agent (1964). Several references to the earlier series appear, many bit players are common between them, and some believe he is referred to once by name (though others interpret the dialogue differently). Although McGoohan vehemently denied that #6 is Drake, he seems to have been out-voted, as co-writer George Markstein said yes, and officially sanctioned novels based on the series refer to Number Six as John Drake. The more mundane answer is that the production company didn’t own the rights to the character John Drake. “

Which works on several levels, as McGoohan had resigned from the production of Danger Man to work on The Prisoner.

Sorry VP, but that’s hopelessly wrong

Danger Man ran from 1960 - 1962 and The Prisoner from 1967 - 1968. There must have been an awful lot of post-production work for your assertion to have happened

There’s a little more, including references, unused plots from one ending up in the other, etc.

But that bit is totally accurate. What was going to be used as a film for Danger Man wound up being (part of?) the finale for The Prisoner.

The rabbit hole has closed and Grace Slick is singing over the ending credits

That’s an interesting theory which doesn’t sit too well for me at the mo as it would mean that Azriel is looking for his younger self?

He might be looking for his brother alright, believing in his identity and mission, it all depends on what is the REAL purporse of it. He has already disturbed the world around him enough.

I was quite interested by the premise of the film & as it was available on Amazon Freevee I’ve just watched it. An interesting point of the game was the terrible discrimination between babies born naturally or by design.

Yes, Gattaca presents a truly dystopian future, despite the world itself seems pretty ok compared to many other works of fiction. Why it seems even more disturbing.

I wonder how this game plays on a mobile, it might be one of the few situations where I would prefer it over a pc.

Also: nice suggestions and discussions folks! I’m definitely checking things out and I’d like to get back to some of these references after the cpt. And thanks Jabod for schooling me and giving some additional information about a couple of tv classics.

Next section tomorrow!

Wow! some people are too smart. no pun intended, not even close

I’ve tried to copy & paste a response here but for some reason it doesn’t turn up unless I type it?...
That worked…..

The forum software needs to tell you if your post is too large as that seems to be the problem….

no it’s not as….I don’t know what went wrong there!

I read elsewhere that you were pasting/copying from Word. I am a Word user. Just not here. A Word document carries so many extra formatting information thingies. I wonder if that is the problem. When I need to write something and paste it into a message here, I use good old Notepad. Never had a problem with that.

All strange happenings aside.. Time for a new section!

Section 4: Road trip to the Uncharted Gas Nebula

This section contained a lot. Violence, information, a double-cross and a narrow escape. Here’s a piece of information that is more suggestive than it seems:

Didn’t really register the first time I played the game.

That was heavy, right? After an action-packed escape, we get another rendez-vous with our little crew. We seem to be getting somewhere. We learn a couple of new details right before we set off to Center 7.

We’re also assembling a crew on board of Center 7 itself. In this section, our plan to escape is set in motion. If this isn’t your first time playing the game, you may have noticed certain details predicting the plan’s trajectory.

We get to stand up to our brain swiping father.

This section ends when you walk into the darkness, looking for the director’s office.

I just finished the whole game - I beat the 3rd part in no time and just wanted to see how the story ends. And wow, the similarities to the Dollhouse storyline were striking indeed! I enjoyed the resolution, and the whole thing was pretty intense and emotional, if a bit too linear and easy, but I won’t discuss it until the playthrough ends. Also I’m not sure how many endings are there - I think I ended up with a perfect final and then perfected it a bit more, but I felt like there could’ve been other endings. Also had some good final kicking!
