So it happened- I managed to find a physical copy of Cluju for PC-88, and with the help of a few friends, it's been dumped. I've now got my Dank team (along with me) playtesting to see if it's 100% fine so we can stick a bow on this and share it, achieve it and preserve it. Yay! THANK YOU!!!

For today's game I embark on Kim-Venture, a highly unusual adventure game on the KIM-1, a system with a "calculator display" that could only display six characters at a time and had a ludicrously small memory capacity. bluerenga.blog/2025/02/10/k...

A friend of Stéphane Picq, composer of Dune, MegaRace, KGB, Lost Eden, Dragon Lore and Commander Blood, confirms his death on Facebook. He was 59 and had been suffering from a long illness. www.facebook.com/100060866829...

Wonder if the writer who put that Musk reference in Star Trek a decade ago is bullied by their peers at all. Probably should be given a new pair of shoes to eat every week.

My Switch 2 opinion is that they should have named it Swiitch

Epic Poetry - Watercolour. This one from last year celebrating reading and book stores. More soon.

The Ultima series has had many mysteries, but none as haunting and lingering as the one posed from the opening from Ultima 6: "What's up with that kickass punk rock zebra centaur?" The answer was found - in an old con booklet.

The topic of the first playable female protagonist isn't as cut-and-dried as folks might like to think. There are many flavors of first, which trips people up. Who was the first on arcade, computer, home console? In the US, Japan, Europe? I'll try to unravel it for you here in a thread. 🧵

Because all their money and their bullshit can't make them free and happy so they don't want others to be.

Hello. Last year, I made my first video game in Bitsy. It's a very short piece of interactive fiction about a botanist banished to the moon for attempting to create sentient plant life. Thanks and enjoy! G R O W L I G H T: treelet.itch.io/grow-light #bitsy #interactivefiction

Here is an old drawing of mine. I don't often draw things, but when I do, it's because I am bored and silly and nobody has told me not to. #KidPix #AceAttorney

Updated the screenshots on the Queen's Domain today for the first time in over a year.... we're still a ways out from release though.... heres a few of the shots:

Things unique to Brazil the world should know: Our dub of the Mario movie had him doing THE voice the ENTIRE movie. And it was incredible. When we see non-BRs say that "Mario's voice can't hold a whole movie", we can only shake our heads. You'll never know what has been stolen from you.

Hey team! I've been workshopping a talk for a while now about video game preservation's obsession with "prototype" games, and how I think the community's obsession with them might be skewed. I put a lot of thought into this and I hope it inspires some discussion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qelV...

Today Games That Weren't take a look at rare, never seen IK+ development documents from the archive of the late Archer Maclean, including ideas and graphical concepts that led to creation of the famous fighting game. #Commodore64 gamesthatwerent.com/2024/12/ik-d...

LOL severely tried to punch above my weight with this one, plus it's rather unfinished cause I didn't have much time, but here's my attempt at redrawing The #cabinet of Dr. Caligari poster for #pixel_dailies ‪@pixeldailies.bsky.social‬

The founder of Nihon Falcom, Masayuki Kato, passed away on December 15, 2024 at the age of 78. Thank you for everything. May you rest in peace... www.falcom.co.jp/ir-data/2024...

Didn't really have a second one, but I'll be looking forward to that Ninja Gaiden. Especially if all the regular enemies are one hit kills like it looks in the trailer.

Well, my first one was gritty Pac-Man.

I was graciously gifted a copy of Aseprite recently, so I wanna try and get into #pixel_dailies! Yunnori is kind of a #dice game, right?

Played through Thief Gold properly for the first time. If I'm being honest, I didn't like the gameplay too much, but I really appreciated what they did for the level architecture with so limited resources.
