The @tssrovers.bsky.social are an outlier in Canadian soccer -- the only semi-pro team owned by its fans. That hasn't stopped their ambitions of producing World Cup-level talent. And they're succeeding. My first for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

The Thomson TO7-70 came with a built-in light pen, because in the 1980s the future clearly involved pointing directly at your TV screen. Decades later, after touchscreens conquered the world, it turns out the French were simply a little ahead of schedule.

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

All the Adventures continues with the Apple II game The Coveted Mirror, a game with a confusing plot and far more emphasis on graphics than most entries for the Project. bluerenga.blog/2026/06/01/t...

Dragon Quest is 40!

Peter Cushing. Born on this day in 1913. Here’s a portrait from 2019.

Alter Ego (1986) is a life sim role-playing game for PCs like the C64 and the Apple II by Activision. The "role" you play is that of a simulated life viewed through a kind of "choose-your-own-adventure" from infancy on through adulthood. Will you be naughty or nice? (a mistakes were made thread)

Dungeons of Daggorath (1982) by DynaMicro for the TRS-80 Color Computer (or the CoCo) was a dungeon crawling RPG featuring an evil wizard to slay. It was one of the earliest "3D" dungeons featuring creatures that you could hear (and hunted you), text commands, and gear to find. (a wireframe thread)
