Totally random, but I really feel like the head of this snake in Haunted Castle (1987) was inspired by the lizard in Frank Frazetta's "Jongor Fights Back" painting (1967).

As promised, I've bundled together everything I've released on itch for @morkborg.com. 7 adventures, 2 pamphlet adventures, 2 soundtracks, and a short story for £50, or 34% off everything (because it makes the £10 adventures £6.60 and that's fun).

I'm thinking more about this and I think industrial music keeps re-evolving from first principles because the conditions that produced it are everywhere
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Worms is part of a genre of “artillery” computer games that we thought went back to the 70s, until we discovered it actually went back to the 60s. In this thread, Kevin Bunch reveals he’s unearthed long forgotten footage of the lost game that started it all.
