Went to the library, forgetting Tuesday is the night they host the chess club I've been meaning to check out. They invited me in, and before I knew it I'd lost to two different people, but I had fun all the same. There's an 82-year-old dude there who's unstoppable.

A game can't qualify as the best racing title for any platform unless that game contains some sweet ass jumps. Given that this excludes much of the C64's library, what does that leave it? Stunt Car Racer, Buggy Boy and Super Off Road leap to mind. What else? Any motorbike games where you catch air?

@golgo13.bsky.social Did you know T&E made a golf game for the Virtual Boy? (cued up) youtu.be/nVvaCe4esCQ?...

@golgo13.bsky.social There's one option for graphics that are closer to the C64, and it's based on the fixed version. I think the latest updates are on the last page of the forum thread. forums.atariage.com/topic/207870...

Time and again, YouTube videos will list Lemmings among the Amiga's best games. But it's only a matter of seconds before you see them click that nuke button. So it isn't the game itself you love. It's quitting the game. Seriously, if it's so great, why aren't more people doing full playthroughs?

@golgo13.bsky.social Day of rest stream. I clicked. YT said it was a mirage. 🤷‍♂️

The last three notes of the Bard's Tale Traveller's Tune chorus remind me so much of the last three notes of whatever part of the song they meant this to be, the "In, This, World!" part. If you hear it, you'll forever be singing it in your head whenever you play from now on. youtu.be/hxPsXPCR5MU

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence. "Whether squashed, scorched, stifled or soaked in honey, the philosopher knows when to die and does not appeal against his sentence when it has been passed."

@logrus.uk If you made a nose ring out of the Paradroid one, just think--you could go about smelling Paradroid... ALL THE TIME! www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

An enterprising hacker could slap an H onto the front of the title and pretend the player is meant to be Egypt's Minister of Antiquities. youtu.be/dSDS4_zibJc?...

If you buy this, currently $3.99, it comes with the Apple IIgs (IIe for BTIII) ports of the original trilogy, which Burger Becky said were the definitive versions, pre-remaster. Without stealing from the pre-made party, I've gotten my billies up to lvl 7. store.steampowered.com/app/41900/Th...

This comes out to just over a buck a title, but... No Colonization? After Pirates, that was the one I played most on my Amiga. Loved the music. I think I remember they made a Colonization game on the Civ III or Civ IV engine. Why not include it? www.humblebundle.com/games/best-o...

A year ago someone gave me a provolone wheel from Wisconsin. It's been in the back of the fridge and I forgot about it. But today I dug it out and cut off the hardened outer bit. While it can no longer in good conscience be called provolone, the treasure it revealed is quite delicious, albeit stinky

@golgo13.bsky.social This is the map I used to show her where the chest was, based on what you showed me. Is this correct?

@golgo13.bsky.social Fired up Taito Legends to see if I could put into practice any of @logrus.uk's winning Bubble Bobble techniques. Didn't go well at all, but I did wind up kinda getting into Cadash. What happens when you run out of time? You just gotta use another credit?

@logrus.uk Maybe to fully assess the recent Bubble Bobble C64 remaster, you don't compare it to the arcade original, you play the unadulterated C64 version first, then compare the remaster to that.

If you're not otherwise occupied, come watch @logrus.uk showcase his superhuman talent for bobbling bubbles. www.youtube.com/live/J_YI9AK...

The real Bard's Tale trilogy. Play the 1st game, avoid the abysmal 2nd. Import your characters to the 3rd, a masterpiece. Then bring that party into Dragon Wars. I consider BT4 a betrayal. The art direction, the tone, all wrong. Dwarves look like orcs and gnomes look like aliens. They went edgy. 🤮

@quest64official.bsky.social Have you messed with that PC recompile? Is it any good / easy to get up and running?

This is the trailer than began my abusive love affair almost 20 years ago. But I look back fondly. Together RtDC and I raised a wonderful young YouTube channel together. And now you can have a beautifully unhealthy relationship of your very own. youtu.be/KSuTtGXVC9Y

A recent conversation with @golgo13.bsky.social rekindled my obsession with the record from which this was taken. Konishi-san called it their Sgt. Pepper, and he wanted to dissolve the band before they made a Let It Be. :o youtu.be/8TKgZ_6oaVc

Now that all the Europeans are asleep, sneak this here video onto your screen, but don't play it too loud or you'll wake them! youtu.be/72CeUPyxkJY?...

Seems that lately @indieretronews.bsky.social's feed is dominated by Scorpion Engine Amiga works-in-progress that may or may not ever see the light of day. Perhaps there ought to be a certain progress threshold a Scorpion Engine game must cross before qualifying for coverage. Just an idea.

I keep forgetting I have a part 2 to edit. I keep forgetting things’ll never be the SAME A-GAIN! (in my best Michael Macdonald voice)

@golgo13.bsky.social is this the one you were talking about getting? www.youtube.com/live/-AAvQHg...

Tweren't a whole lot o' YouTube coverage for this version, so let's remedy that... hand in hand. youtu.be/Gj8NuRKEzmE

Oh man, it'll be great to have this through Steam.

No............ WAY. One day there may be Return to Dark Castle videos on Youtube that weren't made by me

Post the first game you actually completed. I rescued the hostages and got to safety, but not without a few casualties. Eventually I'd like to go for a perfect 64 in as many versions as I can, beginning with my old Vic-20 friend here, and not moving to the next version until I've succeeded.

@retrofrog.bsky.social Does the LS-2 currently support 2-button mode for C64 games? Site says it supports a discreet second button on Amiga, but I think the C64's 2nd button uses a different paradigm. SNK v Capcom, Street Fighter, Super Mario, Bubble BobbleRM, lotsa games supporting 2 buttons now.

@golgo13.bsky.social This may be a contender for least bad C64 wrestling game.

Without naming it, screenshot a game you had a blast with, but which doesn't get enough love from the community at large.

Genius.

not my house, but I know my way around

@golgo13.bsky.social I'm assuming you're pretty familiar yourself?

@golgo13.bsky.social You think the underwater music from any of these other versions can outshine the Genesis one?

It's Atari time... Here's a little fantastic voyage I made for you...

According to ye ole CEEFAX, the cold did a number on the pipes for a coupla large chunks o' England. Chunk o' England, now THAT was a candy bar. Seriously, friends, here's hoping you get the plumbing restored with all due alacrity.

Hey @thejoyofsticks.bsky.social you should know that @logrus.uk can rap all of Informer, flawlessly, at the original speed. It's quite breathtaking to behold, and maybe if we ask nicely he'll grace us with it on the channel. And to @logrus.uk here's why I bring it up, cued youtu.be/CdZe0tOQ-44?...
