NEW PODCAST! When did turn-based tile-based RPGs from the 1980s turn into the real-time 3D games we know today? Ultima Underworld, that's when!

We took 3 months to look at this game instead of our normal 1 month, mainly to give ourselves a chance to catch up with our schedule, but also because it's not easy to fully play a big game like this in a single month.

Was it worth it? Let's find out!

On this Mother's Day, I decided to play Loom

DOS, EGA version. And in French!

From memory, the game is fairly easy (in Normal mode at least) and can be finished in a few hours.

Playing a bit of Leisure Suit Larry tonight... this here is the Apple IIGS version on ScummVM. The soundtrack's pretty nice!

There are countless versions of TETRIS out there, but I believe one of the most beautiful versions out there, is the 1992 PC release of "TETRIS Classic" from Spectrum HoloByte. Here's the version for Windows 3.1:

Thanks to the uploader "Telev78", this has both the 3.5 and 5.25 inch floppy disks with disk images, flux streams, as well as high-res scans of the disks, box and manual! Go get it!

J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth (Synergistic Software/Melbourne House, 1989) #DOSGaming

one of my favourite in-game digital paintings, from Gateway II: Homeworld (DOS, 1993)

326x228 using only *24 colours*

From @thelobdegg and Hadrosaurus Software: the anticipated follow-up to The Aching, "IN SILENCE WAITS", is now in development!

Lost in a forgotten valley, it falls to you to guide a lonely bard through the collapsing remains. Explore the ruins and uncover the history of this settlement's fall from grace.

I just added several SimCity Architecture packs to the Internet Archive. Original Amiga and PC versions. Loads of fun from 1990/91!

This has always been a bit confusing to me: The original Sim City "Graphics Pack 1 - Ancient Cities" was also known as "Architecture 2" in its European release. At the same time, it always contained the same three graphic themes: "Ancient Asia", "Medieval Times" and "Wild West".

Anyway: Here's a good European 5.25 360K inch disk set:

Have fun!

Die große Schachtel mit Windows/386 2.11 ist vorhin endlich bei mir angekommen. Komplett mit Handbüchern und 3.5 Zoll Disketten. Deutsche Version, extrem selten und anscheinend bisher auch noch überhaupt nirgends im Netz archiviert.

Konnte die Disketten gerade kurz testen. Sieht sehr gut aus und anscheinend funktioniert auch alles. Sobald ich später mehr Zeit habe, lade ich natürlich alles ins Internet Archive hoch.

P.S.: Jetzt hier verfügbar:
