Donald Duck's Playground / Sierra On-Line / 1984 An early game that Al Lowe designed/developed. I have vague memories of playing the C64 version back in the day. It's pretty fun edutainment. youtu.be/E9xgTxx87WA

Conan: Hall of Volta (SE Software / Datasoft, 1984) One of the legendary Datasoft movie tie-in games. Playing the C64 version here but I used to play the original (pirated copy) on the Apple II.

Keep calm and soldier on.

The spirit of British punk in turn of the 90s Japan. 🔥 Also mine when guys hit me with creepy DMs. 📺: Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki, Cocktail Soft, 1990 (PC-88)

Hooray!! I had so much fun pixelling for this game, check it out!! 🎉🎉🎉

The item drawings in the original Sinclair QL version of Mortville Manor (1986) are incredible. Just so good.

Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds LookingGlass/Origin/EA 1993 (DOS) Much like the first Ultima Underworld, part II was still ahead of it's time. youtu.be/T5IwN96jVLM

What are your Top 10 Sierra developed games? Paul Korman and Anna Vigue each ranked their top 10 Sierra games, then combined the lists into one final ranking with a clear #1. Familiar Sierra series collide, hard choices get made, and not everyone makes the cut. www.cggpodcast.com/e/the-sierra...

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

Who remembers "Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom" which was originally released in 1982? I remember loving this one on our Apple II from the 1984 port, and it was ported to many other systems at that time. #retrogaming #appleii #c64 #atari

Such a classic 8-bit Hockey Game! Any memories?

This game is really good. And it's surprisingly relevant, still. I interviewed the author a bunch of years ago:

Hidden Agenda Trans Fiction Systems / Springboard Software, 1988 #DOSgaming #retrogaming

Adventure Island // Hudson Soft // 1986

Based on one of my favourite childhood films, The NeverEnding Story (Ocean, 1985) is a text-based adventure game that follows the movies story decently. One of Ocean's earlier movie tie-in games. C64 playthrough: youtu.be/SvYQ5KQaxNQ

The other day I dug up the name of a game that eluded me for ~40 years that I played when I was a kid on our Apple II. While I didn't know exactly what I was doing then, this early adventure game with graphics featuring a ski resort in the Alps (still vivid in my mind) left an impression on me.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: here's a short WIP video clip showing the end of The Hidden Way, and a quick visit to Pirate's Cove (it's still a bit empty for now) to visit some vendors who are none too happy... They suggest visiting The Captain, arr...

I recently completed a full playthrough of Gold Rush!, a graphic adventure by Sierra On-Line, released in 1988. It surpassed my expectations and I quite enjoyed it overall. It was one that was on my radar for many years but finally played, and I'm glad I did. youtu.be/VOkM8lywjKM

SpaceVenture finally released officially on Dec. 23, 2025. What's changed? Well, for one, the save/load feature now works as expected. So, of course, I had to make a short video about it. youtu.be/NFmJWToxVDE #adventuregames #SpaceVenture #SpaceQuest

Nice article in The Guardian about the story behind Prince of Persia's first making in 1989! 💾 A treat for me to see Broderbund co-founder Doug Carlston interviewed here- he's a great guy and was one of my first mentors. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

The budget for Wing Commander III is especially interesting because it happened before the game industry learned Hollywood math.
