The cover of the Japanese PS1 release of XCOM: Enemy Unknown hits differently with its cool super sentai spin on the power armour. It makes me think of 8-bit home micro game covers; Laser Squad comes appropriately to mind.

Coming off a Fallout TV marathon of episodes, I was thinking about one of my first pre-Fallout post-apocalyptic games (and one of the first post-apoc CRPGs released!), Interplay's Wasteland. While it shared elements from Fallout, it did not embrace 50s retro-futurism, instead 80s sci-fi.

Deep in a 1985 issue of Your Computer mag: computer games from Games Workshop in their earlier years. They were extremely busy bees in the mid-80s, dipping into computer games and still publishing D&D and CoC in the UK, but also moving toward focusing on their own as W40K hovers on the horizon.

Gourmet is nearly 6 months old and I'm honestly just so glad to have actually released a game? It's so harrowing, the between project time, I mean, that it can be hard to remember how proud you were on a success. I really love this little GBC point and click, and am glad some of y'all did too. ❤️

Added another couple dozen items to my big list of great free games, and have another 20 waiting for details. I'm aiming to have 200 eventually across as wide a range of genres as possible. A genuinely good resource for folks who want something to play but can't justify spending more money.

Just finished The Norwood Suite and I genuinely can't recommend this series of games enough. They have a mystery to them that so few games are able to capture and they really inspire me to keep going when the spark around game dev feels weak. They all just make me want to make things, SO badly.
