Terminator 2 (1991)
By Midway [Arcade]

A gif of gameplay from "Terminator 2", which takes place in a first-person (rail-shooter) perspective. A red pickup truck speeds through a post-apocalyptic landscape chased by gold Terminator robots- the two player characters fire upon these enemies in an attempt to protect the truck.

Terminator 2 is (of course) based on the film of the same name. It's a rail shooter that loosely follows the events of the film (well, the second half, at least) and features tons of digitized sprites that (surprisingly!) have actually aged pretty decently. My only complaint- so much of the dang game takes place in the movie's post-apocalyptic future (heck, I never even reached the non-apocalyptic parts of the game lol).

Revolution X (1994)
By Midway [Arcade]

A gameplay gif from "Revolution X", which takes place from a first-person (rail-shooter) perspective. The screen pans from left to right through a public bathroom, where the player characters shoot out the doors of several stalls. A member of Aerosmith can be seen in one of the stalls, who inexplicably transforms into the band's logo.

As you enjoy a lovely spring day, think of the villagers of who never saw another day

murdered by the Nazis 9-10 June 1942 in reprisal for the assassination of Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak paratroopers

173 adult males & several women were shot, & c. 200 women were deported to concentration camps (143 survived). A handful of the c. 100 children were given to Aryan families to be Germanized; the rest were gassed at Chełmno

"this most savage single act of repression":
Washington Post
accords the massacre of villagers at (9-10 June 1942) almost equal status with the great US victory at --a very good way to put these disparate events in perspective

@histodons @worldwarshistory 2/n

[partial transcription] London. June 10.--German vengeance squads utterly wiped out Lidice, a Czech village of 1200 persons today, killing all the men and deporting the women and children on the ground that the population harbored the two assassins of Reinhard Heydrich, the late German ruler of Bohemia-Moravia. Completing this most savage single act of repression in the history of the German occupation of continental Europe, Gestapo and German soldiery razed the village, leaving nothing but rubble: the German-controlled radio announced from Prague. Then the Nazis removed the name of the village from their records. .... Shortly after Prague and Berlin radios had announced the fate of Lidice "as the hiding place of the Heydrich murderers," German authorities in Prague disclosed that 25 more Czechs had been executed today in the capital and 6 in Brunn for a total of 306--exclusive of the Lidice dead--to be slain since the attack on Heydrich. .... Only yesterday, during Heydrich's elaborate funeral rites in Berlin, Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler vowed complete revenge on his killers. The slaughter of Lidice was his macabre sequel. The Prague broadcasts did not give the number of men of the village who were shot. It said the women had been sent to a concentration camp and the children to "educational centers." .... Meanwhile, it was apparent from German advices received today in Switzerland that a new wave of
punitive measures was on the way, not only in Czecho-Slovakia but in other occupied countries Prague, Paris, Amsterdam, all Poland and Yugoslavia probably will be the first to feel the chill of this new terror campaign, it was indicated Of the approximately half-million Europeans already believed dead by the hand of the Nazi executioner, approximately 5 per cent were wiped out in mass "reprisal” killings of hostages. The remainder, including many women, were executed on various charges, such as sabotage, plotting, and aiding the enemy Increased Resistance Seen .... The governments, in estimating the number killed, did not consider "the countless thousands who have died in concentration camps or from ill treatment and hunger as a result of the 'New Order" The Yugoslav government estimated 350,000 killed in Yugoslavia, alone, and the Polish government said 90,000 Poles had been executed. They attributed the stupendous totals to German massacres of "entire villages in their attempts to wipe out guerilla [sic] activity" ... Germans Don't Tell All "A vast number of those killed was never made public at all, but we hear of them eventually via underground routes. ... In Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Czecho-Slovakia, and lately in France, the list of those shot reveals the Gestapo is following a definite pattern of wiping out "intellectual” leaders. Teachers are frequent victims in Norway, while professors, students and "liberal" officials have fallen in other countries
