This bird’s greed delights me

The VGHF is wonderful humans doing wonderful, important work. If you have the spare cash for a games hobbyist purchase, please consider throwing some their way. …Otherwise they're gonna hafta commission a Phil Funko Pop or something…

Check 'em out! I made one!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I made a shorter game (for DOS) with worse graphics (CGA) and I'm NOT KIDDING. It's free, it's silly, and you can download it here! (Est. 20-30 minutes for a first playthrough.)

1982 was very early for Japanese adventure games, with only a small number of releases. Takara Building Adventure thus is one of the earliest adventure games in Japanese, but it was not generally available... ...until today. Includes some unexpected history! bluerenga.blog/2025/10/29/t...

I translated "Møt meg i Malaga" ("Meet Me in Malaga"), an MS-DOS game produced in the late 1980s for the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Science, intended to promote safer sex and warn about HIV risk in particular. You take on the role of a teenager backpacking across Europe by train.

Splitting off a secondary thread here for a subcategory: adventure games commissioned by government departments, NGOs, political parties etc. as part of an outreach campaign, raising awareness about a key issue (like the environment, or personal safety) or the work that the organisation does.

I translated "Bi-Fi: Action in Hollywood" (1994) for MS-DOS, one of the more ambitious and fully-developed promotional games of the era. Huge thanks to @sonneveld.bsky.social for helping me with the technical aspects on this one. archive.org/details/bifi...

Australians, please raid your Uncle's old PC in his shed, and help me find a copy of this to archive. #Australia #AFL #DOSGaming #Wolfenstein #RetroGaming #MSDOS #RetroComputing

Bugs and Drugs (1978) released on the PLATO mainframe by Mark Gorback, Dave Tanaka, and Paul Alfille is an early edutainment RPG. Targeted mainly towards medical students, players explore a hospital "dungeon" fighting diseases with fists or with medicine! (a deadly residency thread)

Pinball No. 4 (1977), dir. Jeff Hale, Imagination Inc.

After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now! moralrecordings.itch.io/mauraash #msdos #pointandclick #adventuregame

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Once, Sesame Street was a lifeline for indie animators. It offered money and incredible freedom to create. This built an indie animation boom that powered MTV, Nickelodeon and much more. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-golden...

This is just what a video game looks like underneath the hood

Back in 1991, I wrote a fully functional text adventure development system for DOS. I never ended up making any actual games with it, and it's now been untouched for almost 35 years. Just for fun and historical interest, I've decided to make it and its source code freely available on GitHub. Enjoy!

YOU ARE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! #totaldistortion #fanart

IMO game devs should reach out to their local library to see if they would be willing to do conventions for locally made games. You get so many people looking at your stuff who will never come across it on social media

Me realising I never took a good photo of my Psygnosis owl cosplay, then realising my wings were too big to fit in the frame of my webcam, then having an internal crisis.

in two hours, u could watch two thirds of james cameron's epic 2009 scifi adventure AVATAR or u could watch my video about all the games about that movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYV1...

v1.0 of "King's Quest 1: Rubber Tree Edition" is up! Apply the mod here: denzquix.github.io/agi-patch/ You will need the files from the non-enhanced DOS version. The patched files will run in ScummVM under the "Fan AGI" option, or in DOSBox if you include other files from the original game folder.

@tacoadventure.net Hey, thanks for playing some of my translations! There'll be more coming in time

this is something i actually somehow Didn't get in trouble for. when I was 14 i noticed that there was a "Students All" e-mail address, so i made a crude looping flash cartoon about a frog and sent it to everyone. for some reason, this message was not deletable, and attempting to delete it would -

Hello. I've done a technical write up about a silly project; please enjoy "Can you complete the Oregon Trail if you wait at a river for 14272 years: A study" moral.net.au/writing/2025...

I translated "Croustibat" (1995), made by Coktel Vision - re-using the engine from "Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon" - to promote Findus' line of frozen fish fingers/fish sticks. Many thanks to Fred_PJ for preserving the original Portuguese version. archive.org/details/crou...

Looking back on all my achievements this year, I think the one I am most proud of is this toilet factory I made in Doom

I love making foods sprite! Here is my first Vietnamese foods collection! #pixel #pixelart #イラスト #pixelartist #gamedev #art #food

Live now with some DOS advergames as well translated by the good @denzquix.bsky.social

Working with restrictive palettes is a lot of fun! Finished this lil CGA piece just in time for DOSember.

This is unironically the best website I have ever made.

New Orleans out here innovating in bread shapes. Say hello to the challigator.

Okay, Dax and I have taken inventory – and as long as you all line up in an orderly fashion – we should have one floppy disk for each new follower.

Writing a B&W bitmap library on top of Adafruit's GFX lib. This little Sharp Memory display is keeping me busy and out of trouble. I spent today drawing and coding a little walking guy. 1-bit is best-bit. #adafruit #pixelart

I still hold out hope that this game will one day be released www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRDY...

Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax (Amiga, 1988)

I discovered source code for the Club Caribe virtual world server, a modified version of Lucasfilm's Habitat on the C64 which ran on Quantum Link (AOL) back in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I've uploaded it to GitHub and written about it here: renoproject.org/club-caribe-... #VirtualWorlds

Need you all to look at this photo of the creator of PaRappa the Rapper's dog. Her name is Melody.

Et voilà ! This is exactly where I am mentally :) (and since it costs nothing to dream, I made it the alternative point and click version) #psychonauts @doublefine.com @timoflegend.bsky.social

I wrote a bit about 7 old adventure games (most of which you probably never heard of) that inspired my Yarnspin story-telling engine: mattiasgustavsson.com/the-adventur...

Hi, I'm the lead designer of Hypnospace and I'm announcing a new concept album called New Active Object and accompanying 1990s CD-ROM-esque game next week! Please subscribe to my newsletter at jaytholen.net to get the news when it drops! Here are the first few seconds. Please share!

numbers stations are just artisanal modem noise

Forgot to post my weekly game writeup, but how about this, inspired by @denzquix.bsky.social's translation of an old DOS advergame: I also translated one of those a while ago! Surely you always wanted to play Knorr's Abenteuer Atlantis in English, and now you can! read.mooware.at/abenteuer-at...

Another cool two-state Amiga icon, this one bold as brass with some cool pixel art and huge size - plus a cheeky little monkey bursting out from behind the curtains! The colours of certain icons like this one designed to be seen on Workbench 1.X will look a little off in Workbench 2.X and 3.X

I have an ongoing project to translate non-English promotional adventure games into English, like the German ones featured in the "Werbespiel-Archiv": werbespiel.blogspot.com/search/label...

Current project: a mod for King's Quest 1 (AGI) which adds >UNDO and circumvents softlocks, titled King's Quest: Rubber Tree Edition. A pre-release version was recently featured on stream by the inimitable @emmxyzzy.bsky.social
