Travelling the Wasteland in search of good old school games.

If I've posted something dumb-sounding, it's a joke.
☑ Large Open Area
☑ Ominous Music
☑ Ominous Rumbling
☑ Lots of Ammo Lying Around
☑ Lots of Health Packs Lying Around
☑ Only one Entrance
☑ A Quest Item on a Pedestal In the Centre

... hmmm.... My spidey sense is tingling....

Good morning! Suspicious horse is watching you.

Darkenstein 3-D is pretty darn good.... For a free game, it's superb. So much Wolf3d fun with 66% more 3D!

Trivia time:

What links one of the best Amiga MODs of all time to the game "Control" ?

Answer: Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen, keyboardist, producer, composer and all-round DUDE whose MODs rocked the scene in the early 90s and still rocking the world in Poets of the Fall!

Heh! I have that one too... I looked into the metadata, but no clue of the author or the game it's from... What's the game?

Been listening to some MODs thanks to @jikissgamer.bsky.social posting an old favourite... Dug out an old CD and found a song by some of @judgedrokk.bsky.social 's former group members :)
October 20, 2025 at 10:14 AM
There she is!! In the B's as expected :D

I can't claim I listened to more than a fraction of the songs on this CD... I'm gonna go hunting for some favourites now:)
October 20, 2025 at 9:54 AM
I found it! First song I loaded: Das Boot :D

Stone.
Cold.
Classic.

:D I might be listening to MODs for the rest of the day now :D

I fancied porting a bit of old x86 ASM to z80 to get a rudimentary 'starfield' going.

Went looking for a nice easy IDE and found one called KliveIDE by the same guy that made SpectNetIDE. Nice and easy to work with! It's still in early alpha, but it's good .

Ho Ho.. Sh*t's getting real in Alice: Madness Returns.... I love this guy!
October 19, 2025 at 10:46 AM
haha.. the man pages are great for simple stuff, I guess, like shell commands... but rather than have to page up and down in the manpage in a term, it's just easier to keep a paper book on the desk. Well, on the shelf. the man page won't go into tips and tricks of integrating commands for example
October 19, 2025 at 10:43 AM
yup! Colours :D
October 18, 2025 at 5:39 PM
I'm assuming the colour scheme is to denote the crapness of her life in the real world. If the first few levels are this nicely made, I'm excited to see the rest!
October 18, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Graphics are lovely... Very Tim Burton
October 18, 2025 at 5:18 PM
OK, well, now I know I can run the EA App under Steam, it's time to play some Alice: Madness Returns.

I'm told this is better than the original, which I really enjoyed!

There's something about this table top strategy game that's really drawing me in.. for some reason I really want to play it.... I think it's possibly because the box looks like a PC game. But the contents look great too...

The weird thing is I'm not a ttrpg player really, only D&D.
October 18, 2025 at 12:52 PM
srsly? That was where your mind went when you needed to make a mnemonic? My friend, I think you need to talk to someone...
October 17, 2025 at 4:00 PM
I must finish this some day...

Now, we can debate the validity of comparing importance and effectiveness directly in percentages... And we can debate that their BBC avoided the elephant in the room that it is massively biased.

But it's clear that people in the UK are dissatisfied with how independent and neutral the BBC is.

I'm guessing they must have used AI or a very good illustrator.. same three people, but maybe their eye lines have been dropped a little to accommodate the shrunk down vectrex on the table?

Gave me a nice chuckle. Imagine how small the Vectrex Micro in 2060 is going to be.
October 15, 2025 at 1:55 PM
What's under the microscope? : Day 1

Nice and easy, I hope...
October 15, 2025 at 11:01 AM
Don't even need to click it... I know exactly why they'd prefer to play games with animals than half of the humans you see online.. ;)

"Like, what are they even looking at?"

Scientists believe some stone heads on a neighbouring island were having a noisy barbeque, and the Rapa Nui heads had come out to "see what all the palaver is about"

I hate updating bioses... And insyde can get in the bin with their windows-only updater apps... But I swear this process is slow-walking the last forty percent just to panic me

Gen AI might still be in its infancy, but you can still have a laugh with it..

No, sorry, not WITH.... the other one... AT, yeah, you can laugh AT it.
