Help support Norway's best gaming site! It's actually one of the best out there, period. There's even tons of cool articles in English, and everything is easily translated these days anyway. spillhistorie.no/2025/10/30/l...

What happens if you mix Obra Dinn, Golden Idol and The Last Express? Then you get The Séance of Blake Manor from @spookydoorway.bsky.social. I had some expectations since they made Darkside Detective, but wow, this is a really excellent game! Highly recommended for all aspiring detectives out there!

Keeper by @doublefine.com is absolutely gorgeous. The artistic direction and attention to detail is superb. I just wish the gameplay was given the same amount of love. The parts that are here are so simplistic. This game deserves more, and I expected more from a creative company like Double Fine.

Strong September, with games like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Strange Antiquities and Hades 2. Where will they all rank on my GOTY-list at the end of the year? Follow @spillhistorie.no to find out when 2026 is approaching. We even have lots of articles in English! #Silksong #StrangeAntiquities #Hades2

We have two major stories on Spillhistorie.no today, both available in English. The first is about SVHA Adventure, a unique version of Colossal Cave developed on a Norsk Data minicomputer in Norway in 1979. Lost and completely unknown until this year. We have the story & a playable version.

Another beautiful adventure game that originally never came out in English. The French game Black Sect is a 1993 remake of an 1990 Amstrad CPC game. The remake came out for Amiga, Atari ST and DOS, and they all look great. Since then the game has had an English fan translation and a remake in AGS.

In the 00s, I played a lot of adventure games in German, because they were "all" from Germany at the time, and the English voice acting was usually awful. I wonder, though, if there are any interesting adventure games from the 90s that were only in German. #DerSchatzImSilbersee #AdventureGames

Experience a new horror game, "Split," by the creator of "Buckshot Roulette," for $3 on Steam. Dive into a dark MS-DOS hacking tale in a short, solo adventure lasting 1-2 hours, immersing you in a crew of hackers uncovering secrets in unethical electronics.

Boom! Ratatatatata! Kerplank! Kapow! Kapow! Kapow! Think you know all DOS FPSes? Think again! Here's few you probably never heard of: youtu.be/QRTL0mlW5R8 Yup, the MS-DOS library somehow seems to be bottomless. #RetroGaming #DOS

People are raving about the RPGs of 2025, but adventure games are knocking them out of the park this year! The Drifter is a great game that every adventure game fan should play. I hope @barney.powerhoof.com will continue to make them! #AdventureGames #IndieGames #BestGamesOf2025

Nobody has managed to capture the feeling of melancholy in computer games the way that Benoît Sokal did. I love all the "unnecessary" attention to detail Microids always puts in their games too. Adds so much flavour. Great remake! @microidsoff.bsky.social #Amerzone #BenoitSokal #AdventureGames

It doesn't matter where you're from. Gaming has always been universal. Always nice to experience games that has a different perspective as well, and it's an enjoyable game too. Very cool graphics and excellent voice acting. #Ecuador #Despelote #DinoDinisSoccer #RetroGaming @despelote.game

Hm... this guy looks familiar... #LittleBigAdventure2 #TwinsensOdyssey #Kiss #GeneSimmons #DOSGaming #BestGamesOfAllTime #RetroGaming #LBA2 #GOTY1997 #RockAndRollAllNite @2point21.bsky.social

It has been a really good year for adventure games. Several of them look absolutely gorgeous as well. But I think the best looking game must be Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer. The world is so full of life. Very good game too! #IndieGaming #AdventureGames #KathyRain2 @kathyrain2.bsky.social

Blue Prince. Will be very surprised if this isn't GOTY. I was worried the progression would be a bit random because of the room drafting, but it felt natural all the way to the "end". One of the best designed games of all time. #BluePrince #AdventureGames #GOTY2025 @blueprincegame.bsky.social

"Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had, before I blacked out: the thick smell of asphalt." The start of Blue Prince makes me think of the intro to Full Throttle. #FullThrottle #BluePrince @blueprincegame.bsky.social #AdventureGames #IndieGaming #DOSGaming

Freestyle chess is pretty cool, but I am not sure what I would call this setup. #DOSGaming #Retrogaming #FreestyleChess #Chess #BattleChess

Rockford was maybe my sister's favourite game back in 1987. This Boulder Dash variant is not the best game in the world, but it had a certain charm. We used to just call it Rock. Can't remember why we called it that. Perhaps the exe-file was called "rock.exe". #DOSGaming #Retrogaming #BoulderDash

Jane Jensen, Tim Curry and Bob Holmes behind the scenes of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 1993

Grand Prix 2 is the highest rated DOS game on MobyGames that is not an adventure game. It's easy to understand why. Still my favourite racing game, and it still looks and plays incredibly well. #DOSGaming #BestGamesOfAllTime #Retrogaming #GrandPrix2 #GeoffCrammond #GP2 #Microprose

We have refreshed our English content page at @spillhistorie.no ! Look at all this cool stuff!! spillhistorie.no/content-in-e...

Always a delight to have a new game from one of my favourite game developers, @inkle.co Expelled! follows in the footsteps of Overboard!, and I recommend it to all adventure game fans out there. #IndieGaming #Expelled #AdventureGaming #AdventureGames #AdventureGame

Anyone ready for another surreal adventure, awesome music and a lot of pizza in @cosmoddd.bsky.social 's next game, Moves Of The Diamond Hand? Absolutely loved Betrayal At Club Low. #IndieGaming #AdventureGames #RPGs #MovesOfTheDiamondHand #BetrayalAtClubLow

Despite a lot of highly anticipated games like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Civilization 7 and Avowed being released in February, my favourites from the month were Keep Driving and Slender Threads. #IndieGaming #SlenderThreads #KeepDriving @ycjygames.bsky.social #AdventureGames #RPGs #AdventureGame

I wonder why Obsidian has forgotten about their roleplaying roots. Now they seem determined to just make light RPGs. I miss the days when they didn't have time to make the game because of all the roleplay options. Avowed could have been made by anyone. #AlphaProtocol #ObsidianEntertainment #Avowed

For some reason, I sometimes long back to the good old days. I wonder why. And by the way, look at the quality of that map! No square continents with a vertical stripe in between them. #WindowsGaming #Retrogaming #Retro #SidMeiersCivilization2 #SidMeiersCivilization

Oh, cruel fate, why do I have to choose between two of my favourite games, Day Of The Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road? When I played the CD-rom version of DOTT I was blown away. How could a game have crystal clear voices? #DOSGaming #BestGamesOfAllTime #Spillhistorie #Sam&Max #DayOfTheTentacle

N. Harken, my old nemesis, we meet again. *shakes fist* #DOSGaming #Retrogaming #TheGamesWinterChallenge #WinterChallenge

Every Thursday you can vote for your favourite DOS-games in an unofficial cup to find out which game is the best of all time. Site is in Norwegian, but we also have some great English content, which you can find under "Annet -> Content in English". #DOSGaming #BestGamesOfAllTime #Spillhistorie

Norwegian post: Jeg arrangerer et veldig uoffisielt norgesmesterskap for å kåre tidenes beste MS-DOS-spill. Vær med og stem og vinn noen "fete" premier! #DOSGaming #BestGamesOfAllTime #Retrogaming #Retro #Spillhistorie

One day I will overcome the horrible 3D and technical problems with Gabriel Knight 3 and finally finish it. At least I don't need to play the game to listen to the incredible music. #Retrogaming #Retro #JaneJensen #GabrielKnight #GabrielKnight3 #AdventureGames

Happy new year! 35 years ago, on this day, one of my favourite puzzle games, The Adventures Of Lolo 2 was released on the NES. #NES #NESGaming #Retrogaming #Retro #AdventuresOfLolo2

Kim ( @kiiiiim.bsky.social ) har også kost seg med en haug av spill i år, og hans toppliste er som vanlig temmelig stor. Her er det garantert flere perler som er ukjente for de fleste (og noen som bør være godt kjente).

The guys who made Heretic did not worry about Christmas sales, since they released the game on this day exactly 30 years ago. Or maybe they counted on desperate dads trying to find a present for their kid last minute? #DOSGaming #Heretic #Retrogaming #Retro #IDSoftware #JohnRomero

Which epic fantasy franchise was the first to be associated with Christmas? Was it Harry Potter? Lord of The Rings? No it was Baldur's Gate, released on this date in 1998. #PCGaming #BaldursGate #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #HarryPotter #Bioware #Retrogaming

Writing an article for @spillhistorie.no about my favourite games of 2024. Thinking back, these are my three favourite games of 1994. What are yours? #DOSGaming #SidMeiersColonization #LittleBigAdventure #TransportTycoon #GOTY #GOTY2024 #GOTY1994

Yesterday, it was 31 years since the magnificent Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers was released. What a way to celebrate Christmas for gamers back in 1993! #GabrielKnight #MS-DOS #DOSGaming #Retrogaming #Retro #SierraOnline #Adventuregames #BestGamesOfAllTime

Do you remember the MS-DOS exclusive racing game Screamer, from 1995? The developers of the next game in the series wants you to forget, since it forgot to add a 3 to it's name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ohD... #Screamer #MS-DOS #TheGameAwards #Retro #RetroGaming
