SKATE OR DIE KONAMI 1988 NES

All the Strange, Strange Creatures. Celebrate this #DOSember by venturing into space as one of myriad of weird and wonderful alien races in one of my favourite 4X games. 📺: Ascendancy, The Logic Factory, 1995

Donkey Kong, developed by Nintendo R&D1 in 1981 for the arcade. Mario makes his first appearance in a game - one of several historical points with this. A great port was released on the NES/Famicom in 1983. Brings back early gaming memories and those early 80's vibes. youtu.be/IYYE3NyX1m8

Slogging through the Mega CD Eye of the Beholder sewers beneath Waterdeep in search of fame and fortune: The Blades of the Hawk. Mind those fine robes in the sewer slop, Vespa. Let's see what's on floor two...

Full playthrough of Jackal (Konami, 1988) for the NES. I finished this run and gun on the NES ~35 years ago and it was fun (albeit still challenging) to complete again. youtu.be/UZCwiJdF1w4

The official #DOSember Game Jam release of Quest for Erasmus is out. tacoadventure.itch.io/quest-for-er... Thanks to @thedeivore.bsky.social @invisiblespiders.com and slattstudio.com for making some of the screens for the game. The game is not complete yet and more is coming in the new year.

To celebrate #DOSember myself and @chrisjfemo.bsky.social made a deduction mini-game in EGA for your 286 PC (but you can also play in the browser!) mausimus.itch.io/quid-pro-quo Huge thanks to @emmfoolery.bsky.social for organizing the DOSember Game Jam and a fist bump to everyone who participated!

This is the good shit. 👂🎵 youtu.be/GBT3Hi3bM4E?...

53 years ago today, Atari released Pong Developed by Al Alcorn, he installed the prototype machine at Andy Capp's Tavern in Sunnyvale, CA. A week later, the owner called to report it was broken. When Al went in to fix it he found that the coin box was jammed full #pong #atari #arcade #1970s

Ninja Gaiden (1988)

Rednex screwed me over and threatened me with a copyright strike over my previous video, so I got petty and had my buddy @ronscompvids.bsky.social decompile their stupid game. youtu.be/pVzKhbQ_lnM

If you weren't at @adventurex.bsky.social this year, allow me to dig up an old video of mine that explains why you should definitely consider going next year. youtu.be/ETh1k03ED5A

Tonight, 8pm Eastern! It's Crimson C'Tuesday, come join me for some pixel art and no mushroom photos but other kinds of photos, and more retro Japanese gaming! Hope to see you there! www.twitch.tv/a_maplemystery

Longplay of Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon (MPS Labs/MicroProse, 1990). A beautifully designed game but more than that; its elements give you the ultimate "just one more turn" fever that you only get from Civilization and other classics by Sid Meier. A masterpiece. youtu.be/cAznnXdDWnQ #DOSgaming

Apple II Forever!

The music of SpaceVenture is absolutely amazing. Well, it would be, given that it was composed by the same guy who did the score for Space Quest IV!

I’ve recently added a few more adventure game playthroughs to my YouTube channel. Here’s Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!! for Mac, one of the first point-and-click adventure games: robotspacer.tv/archive/deja... as well as the sequel, Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas: robotspacer.tv/archive/deja...

Perusing the new eXoWin9x project! 660+ PC games from 1994-96 for Windows 9x, all set up and ready to play straight away using preconfigured versions of DOSBox-X, 86Box, and LaunchBox. youtu.be/FazeobVWdmM This went off the rails and unintentionally became the funniest video I've done in a while 😄

Hey! It is out now for all to play! itch.io/jam/dosember... — please also check out the other DOStember Game Jam entries :)

Kicked off playing through Inherit the Earth (1994, DOS), and on the trail of the culprit behind the theft of the Orb of Storms. The voice acting and conversation structure has been very natural so far. Ongoing 🧵

The cover art for Nintendo Power #2 still goes unbelievably hard, yall.

A previously unreleased rough sketch for Mega Man X was just revealed for the Great Capcom Exhibition in Tokyo! This is absolutely rad to see!

The Master System version of King's Quest is pretty unique.

Dedicating this playthrough to the memory of Rebecca Heineman who was pivotal in the programming of this murder mystery adventure, and so many other games. youtu.be/yLv0cxVUnLg

THE BARD'S TALE INTERPLAY/ATELIER DOUBLE CO. 1991 NES

Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements. One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman: www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Check out my new review! #Discworld #retrogaming #Rincewind #Psygnosis

Karateka - Jordan Mechner / Broderbund, 1984 The original version, released for the Apple II in 1984. One of my favourite Apple II games ever. Great memories playing this one as a kid, and it still holds up. youtu.be/K9g-UNswWNc

If you're a fan of classic adventure games, you've no doubt watched a @spacequesthistorian.com fair and balanced review of a vintage Sierra On-Line title. Join Ron and The Space Quest Historian for an interview that should prove to be interesting and little #NSFW! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBoS...

Sid Meier's Pirates! MicroProse 1987 The original version released for the #C64. This game blew me away as a kid and it's still awesome - one of my fav games of all time. youtu.be/lT9U94NeE7g
