I see they're planning to age verify social media in the UK. Doesn't that technically make social media profiles no longer anonymous? 🤔

Updated my starter pack slightly, if you’re not on it and I follow you and you do retro stuff then it’s just because I’m incredibly lazy

Amos was popular with the budding game devs and some of them went on to release games in the shops.
and in this video I'm checking a number of them out, also featuring a few of my Amos loving mates!

In addition to the red/blue swirl default themes, v1.1-ateam of openMenu will also feature a text-only theme (in both swirl colors) for those who prefer it!
The custom theming engine is what makes this so easily possible.

Out of pure curiosity, I wondered: Could my engine handle a Snatcher port if I ever felt like doing one?
Turns out… YES, it absolutely could. 👀

Happy new year! Bit of announcement... I'm currently adding H32 mode to Chords which drops portraits and makes the viewing area seem bigger. It's basically Snatcher mode! 256x224 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #sega #segagenesis #megadrive

The PC was an odd duck in 1994. April 1994's PC Gamer includes a game that would grace the Playstation unchanged and another that was a downgrade on a NES original.
In the backdrop of this late DOS era chaos, PC Gamer have the top 50 of all time. Are they right?
