But what if the dinosaurs weren't all destroyed? What if the impact of that meteor created a parallel dimension where the dinosaurs continued to thrive and evolve into intelligent, vicious, and aggressive beings... just like us? And hey, what if they found a way back?

Gonna switch all the F-keys on my keyboard to a reverse order. Call me Benjamin Button.

One of the first shareware PC platformers "The Adventures of Captain Comic" and its Soviet Ukrainian hack "The Adventures of Pioneer Ksenia" ("Пригоди Піонерки Ксені"). #DOSGaming #RussianVideogames #SovietVideogames

Play NEW games? Nah, I've dug up some premium DOS TRASH for this episode. Get your ass to MARS... 3D! youtu.be/N_cax0rIgUc

"Play more DOS games."

I always forget how incredibly violent most of the stunts in the final act of "Police Story" are. Like, literally every time I watch it, I'm taken aback.

Don't fuck with the Jedi master, son.

New Ancient DOS Games episode uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/azf6pXz3Fe4

Somehow only in the Year of Our Luigi 2025 I've learned that the retail Atomic Edition of "Duke Nukem 3D" has a damn disc check at the start of the game, and will just insta-quit if the CD is not in the drive! 😯

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I may be screwed.

A deep dive retrospective of System Shock, chronicling the development history, game design, and lasting impact of one of the most influential games out there! Shoutout to @pripyatbeast.bsky.social & @nightdivestudios.bsky.social for the Enhanced Edition! youtu.be/N57Kc_TTE6A?...

I was asked to voice for this mod - Duke Nukem Advance but brought to life in Duke 3D. Was honestly kinda surprised that it didn't already exist. Pretty cool! ☢️ www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nu...

Commercial DOS games still happen occasionally, but I don't know what the last DOS game that was sold in a retail outlet was because it is most likely some obscure release in a non-English speaking country. A place where tech was a bit behind. And these titles aren't as well documented.

These DOS games are turning 30 years old this year: ---- Full Throttle Hexen Abuse Worms Terminal Velocity Dark Forces Command & Conquer BioForge Need for Speed Hi-Octane Destruction Derby Witchaven Descent Stonekeep Crusader Heroes of Might & Magic Warcraft 2 Phantasmagoria Discworld MechWarrior 2

Yea, this is the thing I remembered to do. Pinky is so real for that tho. #Doom

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!

I have no idea to this day how many games were on that DOS shareware compilation CD. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I’d like to think that the number was so large, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.

*Sigh* Well, comrades, my entire back is white. And it's not even April.

90s PC games:

I pointed out where a specific coffee creamer was located in a supermarket to Anupam Kher.

Amen 🙏

Mike Stoklasa, a Real Man of Culture, is properly referring to a 3.25" floppy disk as a "diskette": 👏👏👏

When was the last time you saw this?

What I hear when the work day is over:

"We have the exact same briefcase."

I use the word "ratio" a hell of a lot more than the word "ration", and yet for some reason every time I go to type "aspect ratio" my fingers automatically type "aspect ration". 🤷‍♂️

Beta 0.8 R3 is out; there was a lockup in the nav screen with joystick controls enabled - now fixed! You can also calibrate joysticks in the launcher via Alt-J (like the original game); useful if it's out of whack for whatever reason. More improvements on the way... alltinker.itch.io/wcat

Yamaha's take on the audio rack player is... disappointing.
