I'll watch Severance after it's over and everyone hated how it ended.

Who are "poggers"? Are they the people with large POGS collections? 🤔

If you're a millennial and would like to take some psychic damage before bed, help yourselves:

Putin was already in his first term as the President when this game was released. ☹

Today I got a sequel dream to my anxiety dream from the night before. Stop it, brain!

Roguelike? 😒 Rougelike? 👍

Discovered a DOS game I played when I was super little. Super Solvers Treasure Mountain. Got it working last night and beat it. Didn't even realize it was an educational game, but its kinda neat beating a game you just didn't understand how to play as a kid. #dos #DOSgames

Finally playing the first wing commander, this game looks amazing holy shit this is one of the best pixel art I have seen in a dos game. I really love the characters art style! The gameplay is not responsive as x-wing, kinda choppy but works. I'm using dosbox with MUNT to emulate mt32 music.

Felt like some DOS gaming so spent the last few nights playing through Dragon Lore by Cryo. I remember screenshots in a magazine as a kid, wondering what it's like to play. Turns out it's a Myst-lite RPG...thing? Very weird, very Cryo. Charming at any rate! I mean, look at it!

Couple of new episodes for my DOS gaming web series 'Cozy DOS Content'. From this playlist, pick a thumbnail that interests you, and just kick back for an hour as you're showered with the aesthetics of 30+ years old games. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #dos #msdos #dosgaming #retro #retrogaming

If, like me, you keep picturing this MS-DOS game that ran off a 5 1/4” floppy disk, you too may need to be mummified

Wake up babe, Tchaikovsky’s returned from the dead and he’s dropping a new album 🔥🔥

Good night.

Oh shit, Peter Jason died? Check out his masterful physical work in John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness (1987):

Oh, man. I had no idea Westwood made a console exclusive CRPG. And it is indeed very Westwood-y in its presentation. Gameplay is basically Ultima 6 meets Eye of the Beholder.

Ooooooooooooooooo, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Some people hate it, have always hated it, but for me I just love CGA graphics!

Why is there still no notable Cryo's Dune successor?

And this, in turn, reminds me of Computer Gaming World's review of a tactical 3D action DOS game Seal Team (1993):

Didn't expect this kind of video about Wolfenstein 3D, but I'm glad someone made it. youtu.be/9oiVsys_wbw

Carnivores (Windows 9x, 1998) #UkrainianVideogames 🇺🇦 An above average entry in the Budget Hunting Sim genre by Ukrainian developer Action Forms (Chasm: The Rift). Full 3D, 6 maps, 3 weapons, amd 10 types of dinos. It really set itself apart from your standard Deer Hunter clones.

Oh wow. This got rewritten, possibly by a human! Let's see... Jfc. 🤦

Network test success. Slowly lifting the GZDoom netcode curse. Ongoing behind the scenes netcode improvements, and improved it has. 6 players across the world, no connection troubles (OGs remember the struggle), SMOOTH prediction (feels like playing single player), no jitter/rubberbanding. #GZDoom

Me: stares at the #1 spot. 👀

was just reminded of this banger thanks to a convo with @gothpink.bsky.social

I love MS-DOS games.

Today’s game is Stunts, for MS-DOS. Think a better Hard Drivin’. I got this at Egghead around 1992 for like $10 and played it to death. Like Racing Destruction Set, it’s a lot of fun playing with the track editor and physics. Great game. Also on Amiga and FM Towns. #dosgaming #commodoreamiga
