Correct. They also made the same joysticks for consoles as well, but these were targeting home computers.

This is what it looked like:

I am now aware that Alexey Pajitnov had seen the Tetris-like mini game in "GAG" (1997,) more well known known as a standalone executable "Sextris" that quickly spread on the Internet in the 90s/2000s.

We've come a long, long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you, baby
I have to praise you like I should

Gongrats to whoever got it! I personally enjoyed this remake quite a lot.

The ❓ is the first letter of the second word in the tile of this DOS game, lower case:

I've never played these games before. 😱

Yo, SNES Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, what the fuck is this?!
November 11, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Well, none of this matters anymore because I just learned that the Japanese version of Battletoads REMOVED THE PAUSE MUSIC, so fuck this shit.

It's cool that Disney is doing yet another restoration of all classic Star Wars films, but I wouldn't get too excited about them being restored 100% originals. The leaks show they are rescanning *everything*, including all the VFX element shots. The release is 2 years away, it could be anything.

It's getting cold out there. 🔊🎵❄

Speaking of 3D Studio Max, that one Macromedia Director-driven promo CD-ROM of it, the one with awesome music, is *almost nearly* fully functional in ScummVM now. 😂

All five are very fun games that manage to do a lot with the concept while never getting complicated. All the writing is intentionally humorous. The focus is on encounters & simple puzzles. RPG mechanics are minimal. I can't recommend them enough, and honestly wish there were more of them.

J2ME versions of all the games can be played on your flip phone emulator of choice. They are still very cool, despite being slightly inferior to their counterparts from more capable platforms. At this moment it's the only way to play "Orcs & Elves II".

Orcs & Elves can be enjoyed on your favorite Nintendo DS emulator of choice.

Three of them have reverse engineered PC ports made from superior versions (BREW and iOS).

I hate driving, and being in cars for a long time in general. But unfortunately that's a big part of suburban US living. So I have to entertain myself when I'm driving. What happens when I run out of audio books and podcasts? Something like this:

Seriously, there need to be more of these Dungeon Crawler-lite games than the five titles John Carmack produced.

Realized I missed the 33rd anniversary of the release of one of the best albums of the 90s, but hey, this stuff is always timely. 🤷‍♂️

It's like a vision of love that seems to be true

Now *this* is freaking cool. NES and Game Boy music player Bleep!'s executable contains both Win32 and DOS programs. Here it is running in Windows 10, and then in DOSbox.
