@tonymartin.bsky.social I'm probably not the first to say, but you mentioned on 'From the Hideout', a police horse on the Late Show.
It was to contain the Bart Simpson Underpants riot I believe.

I've released a preview version of "Quest for Erasmus" on Itch. I'm still waiting on some artwork and I'm still working on the code, but I believe that the demo is playable from start to end. You can play in your browser or download it and play it with DOSBox.

@freek.bsky.social I'm having some trouble getting the Pulse OhDear connection working. I know there are some dev stability things to deal with but I wanted to double check it was possible to get this working ATM. I'm finding it's looking at the wrong end-points.

@marthawells.com I loved the TV show and I've just read the first novella. I'm so excited to find a piece of media I love so much. It feels like a long time since I've been this excited by reading.

@tonymartin.bsky.social What a pleasure listening to you and Djovan and Pete chat about video stores. I'm so nostalgic for that time.
Also it's a treat hearing Pete pronounce the T in Youchube.
Also, Betamax is not the same Betacam that's used in Telly stations. Different tech. Common mistake.
