I have the three on the top row which are pretty precise, but the Power Glove may be the coolest.

Wow. The music in the Sega CD port of "Eye of the Beholder" is NOT what I expected. 💿🔊🎵

Oh, I had this. Star Wars fan here - the hype for Episode I was real.

This game is quite interesting for the year it was released. It plays very similarly to Age of Wonders, but it was released two years before Age of Wonders came out. Which is a bit like a mix of Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic for those who aren't familiar with it. But only in Japanese.

Yeah, none of these would be on my list but to each his own, I'm old school.

Castle Wolfenstein / Muse Software / 1981 for #appleii

I still remember my surprise when I first played a pirated copy on our Apple II (years after release date). I was impressed with the action-adventure elements and I couldn't have anticipated the voices of the guards!

This game has over 55,000 unique frames of animation, and is created by a team of talented classical animators who have redrawn and reanimated this game frame by frame. Adding subtle, context-sensitive characterisation and human expressions is something that AI can't do, and never will be able to do. During the development of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged we tried to integrate our own internal tool trained on art produced by ourselves. In the end it was a lot of work that could have frankly been spent directly on the game, so that's what we're doing this time around! No AI, just humans ❤︎

Remaster of Broken Sword 2 is being crowdfunded right now, and this time Revolution are taking a no-AI approach:

Quest for Glory IV DOS Review Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness is a retro RPG featuring improved graphics, immersive storytelling, and diverse gameplay, despite initial bugs and combat issues following its 1993 release.

Check out my new review of Quest for Glory IV Shadows of Darkness! #retrogaming #sierraonline #questforglory

'Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos' (NES) is now 36 years old!

You wanna talk about games that really put meaning to "NES Hard"? The original Ninja Gaiden trilogy is up there. This one is probably the "easiest" of the three, but.. it's still hard!

Which Ninja Gaiden titles do YOU like?

The cover to the book, "Writing Your Own Program: Creating A Database: Adventure Game." Each line is in its own font. The computer (a black affair with rainbow keys" depicts a scuba diver swimming, handcuffs in hand, as it is attacked by a giant cross octopus; the painted octopus is literally bursting out of the monitor. A tiny little banner in the corner states: "For Commodore 64 And Apple IIe Computers"

Man, 80s computer books made even non-relational databases look fun. (Source.)

Tell me again how AI is making things better for all of us.

The original Wizardry (Sir-Tech, 1981) for the Apple II. The box art goes hard.

Known as one of the first D&D-style CRPG's (the first of it's kind with colour graphics), and the first party-based RPG. It greatly influenced all RPG's that followed it.
