Game 11: Marvel Spider-Man (Insomniac Games, 2018). Here is a screenshot from the Adventure International game featuring Spider-Man, because I can't find my camera to take one of the game I actually played for this article. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

More like The Royal Tenembalms

Game 10: Zwackery (Midway, 1985). It's kind of a bizarre indulgence, the controls. A spinner. A flight stick. The spinner is a "push / pull" spinner. But I've never played a game from the mind of Brian Colin where I thought there was meat left on the bone. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Kit-Cat clocks are oddly difficult to keep working. They are the only thing we have that uses C batteries, so I bought rechargeable for it. It has to rest against the beam perfectly to function, but when it does and when it works, I love the vibe it gives.

Posted my thoughts about the "Ink Console" that we heard about this week. Including the change of direction they announced on social media last night! blog.zarfhome.com/2025/02/the-...

Game 9: Abuse (Crack Dot Com, 1995). In terms of falsely-accused protagonists that don a helmet during their science fiction adventures, I think Nick Vrenna from Abuse is much better equipped to succeed on his journey than Kyne from Brataccas. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Game 8: Sentinel Returns (Playstation, Windows 98, 1998). The best thing about an abstract puzzlefest is that you're free to assign any larger vision you want to it. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

@adamcadre.bsky.social Happy birthday! Hope you had a great day 😀

Game 7: NHL 96 (Sega Genesis, 1995). That Canada is targeting red states in retaliation for the dumbest "trade war" ever is the nicest response possible. What good people. Oops, Scott Stevens just broke my guy's jaw off and it's scuttling halfway down the rink. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

The next inkle game is through testing, polished up, jazzy, and ready to roll! GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT! More soon…

20,000 Games of Sadness! A review of this new retro console by @commodork.bsky.social ! www.caltrops.com/2025/01/22/2...

I finally made it to Silent Hill

Game 6: Rocket Jockey (Windows, 1996). I can't be that upset that configuring the controls is difficult when the game itself is about trying to steer a rocket-fueled, hacked-together combat sled with the turning radius of a football field. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Here is a link to the Steam store for my upcoming CRPG / text adventure game called Cyberganked. I am told wishlisting helps with visibility, so if you are interested, please feel free to do so! store.steampowered.com/app/880930/C...

Game 5: Vyrzon (Minsoft, 2023). We're in the golden age of Vectrex games, for whatever that is worth. :/ www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Happy remembrance to the Poe Toaster to all that celebrate. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe_Toa...

Game 4: Aquatron. Apple //. 1984. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Game 3: Silent Hill 2 (remake) www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Game 2: Beyond Castle Wolfenstein. Before there was DuoLingo, suburban kids in the 80s were force-fed the German they needed to survive. www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

Game 1: Adventure (Atari, 1980) www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

So @misericordius.bsky.social has done "Breakfast Reviews" of text games from #IFComp. I somehow missed that he did one of a game I made called Enceladus! It's here: ricordius.com/intfic/ifcom... Thanks, Christopher! The rest for your enjoyment: ricordius.com/ifreview.html I really love them all.

Japanese fan art from 1985 which confirms that Pacman died & became a ghost. He later came back to life If my knowledge of religion is accurate; this mirrors the life of Jesus a fair bit, only Pacman had more maze games & a cooler hat

More on this later, but here's the first interactive screen of the Duckman graphic adventure game. Bless #SCUMMVM because I bought a genuine CD-ROM of this game off eBay but Windows 10 failed to understand or start it.

Think the kind of alcohol I'd have to put into it pretty much has to be woodgrain.

New XboxAhoy video dropped! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jou...

15 years ago I made a video: "found footage" of two guys breaking into a house and finding a Polybius #arcade machine. I still have the cabinet; it is enormous, silly and impractical and has shown up in corners of realtor photos of houses that we've listed as we've moved. Here's a pic for BlueSky.
