@badcomputer.bsky.social Is there any known incompatibility of Frontier Force with a Mega Drive model 1 + MS Adapter combo? The game does not start, see video :-( (while other classic SMS games on the machine run fine...) youtu.be/lncR3o2oq0A

Mein Beitrag zum RETURN Magazin #62: Eine vierseitige Auswahl weniger bekannter, aber trotzdem sehr beachtenswerter Amiga-Spieleperlen aus den "dünnen Jahren"; sowie ein ebenfalls vierseitiger Hintergrund zum verpatzten Marktstart des Sega Saturn 1995. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! 😀 #retrogaming

Last week on vacation in Montréal, I bought this little gem at RetroMTL. Some collectors say "bad condition!!", I say: "Lovely, feels like a torch being passed on from someone who loved the game!" 🥰

I strolled through Breath of Fire III on #Sony #PS1 - about one hour of gameplay recorded from real PS1 hardware gives a good first impression of the game. #retrogaming

So, THIS is what it should look like..? 🤣
Dani would turn in her grave though if she saw the gun... One of the reasons why the 1993 Sega Genesis sequel (Son of M.U.L.E.) was cancelled because either EA or Sega insisted on "adding guns'n'bombs" to it. www.carpeludum.com/son-of-m-u-l...

In meinen alten #Sega #MegaDrive Spielen entdecke ich gerade diese in der Kindheit geschriebenen Zettel wieder. So sah Trophäen-, Highscorelisten- und Spieledatenbankmanagement in den 90ern aus 😅

Heute werde ich mal wieder solche Zertifikate verteilen, als Abschluss eines KI-Workshops an der RMS Horrem. Bin schon gespannt, welche Highscores heute erreicht werden! #ki #mint #digitalebilung

Just published: An exclusive interview with Roy Glover, M.U.L.E. theme composer! The author of #MULEOnline talked with Roy (top right in photo) and drove down memory lane. Really something special after so many decades! 🤩 #c64 #atari #retrogaming

Arrived! So it looks like, after almost 41 years, M.U.L.E. now has an official age rating of 6/7

"To use, or not to use #LLMs": Acceptance or rejection hinges on human factors. My M.Sc. studies involved a systematic literature review on this topic which I now published on #arXiv, highlighting the sparse research.

Das RETURN-Magazin #56 ist da und im Webshop bestellbar. In der aktuellen Ausgabe schaue ich auf zwei C64- und einen Sega CD-Klassiker aus meiner Sammlung zurück: Below the Root, Alice in Wonderland und Dark Wizard. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! 😊

Very nice 3D-printed devotionalia to lighten up the retrogaming shelves arrived. :-)

Last night I enjoyed a little known game for Sega Mega CD: Devastator. Years ago I never bothered to play past stage 1, but afterwards it gets much better. Especially the shmup stages 3 and 5 are enjoyable. New footage recorded from real hardware:

My first retrogaming indulgence this year: A rare-ish Sega Mega Drive mouse. What better game to try it with than the infamous Sega CD version of "The Secret of Monkey Island"! I recorded and uploaded new "bright" footage of the first 45min of gameplay here: youtu.be/50M7_m6n9gI
