We'll likely be running this one over the weekend, but Retro tier supporters can watch now. 

And here's the blurb: the Retro PC Time Capsule is back - this time taking us all the way back to 2003, the year of the Radeon 9800 Pro... and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne! In this video, Alex plays the Remedy classic on period appropriate PC hardware, while John attempts to keep up on the PlayStation 2 rendition of the game. The PC's inordinately more powerful, so can the console keep up?

Great timing on this! Just fired this up on my Steam Deck OLED a couple days ago... it's semi-workable but the game desires such fine-tuned aiming (mouse / trackball assumed at the time) that it's rough with the SD OLED's touchpads. Hoping I'll get used to it eventually. Your footage at least reminded me that it was a fairly challenging game lol
