007: Blood Stone

In the process of discovering that neither the PS3 nor Xbox 360 versions of Blood Stone play well with emulators, I also learnt they'd released it for PC — somehow I'd completely forgotten about that. Anyway, I managed to get hold of a copy, and that runs on my Steam Deck. Not natively, of course, and it seems to not have controller support, so I also learnt something about my Steam Deck via the process of remapping controls. It's still not perfect, further tweaking may nail it, but the main thing is I got the game running and some semblance of controls sorted. Hurrah!

And after all that effort, it crossed my mind that the game's old enough it would probably run fine on my Mac, where I could use the native keyboard + mouse controls it's designed for, so maybe I should play it there instead. Oh well.
