Spot on. (Speaking of Pluto, Disney's Pluto debuted in 1932. You know, just in case someone didn't realize there was also the dwarf planet in 1930 you noted above.)

Encountered an issue with #Balatro on the Xbox Game Pass version--there's no setting (yet) to play windowed. I can't seem to find the Reddit post that got me going: Go the Balatro > Content > Assets folder and backup conf.lua before editing it like in the screenshot. Tweak the width/height.

Dude, sweet. My first was the Oric Atmos, but we had the ZX-81s at school. I gave my Speccy away to a good friend about 20 years ago and have not been able to find another reasonably priced one in mint visual condition.

Happy New Year, Aaron! THIS is the game that's gotten my 14-year old daughter into FPS. She's been playing this on my account over the break and loving it. Mum's a cranky at me for letting her stay up so late, but you gotta feed gamer passions as they burgeon! So taking the heat. I need to play it!

Hope you're feeling better, dude. The girls were all sick from the 26th. And it's finally leaving. No bueno!

In addition to the version on GOG there's this more traditional remaster of Alone in the Dark which I should take a look at when I've got some time: Manson of the Macabre. Hope it's the version I imagine through the rosy tint of time!
