A handy reminder! Oh, and do spread the word :)

Ecstatica 1 & 2 just appeared on GOG! What's more, those are subtly improved versions with better controls and an assortment of other bells and whistles. If you haven't tried those cult survival horror classics, you are missing out. Here's the link: www.gog.com/en/game/ecst...

I deeply enjoyed the leaking of the now-cancelled 'Mass Effect: Universe' trailer. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

The Amiga 1000 next to an Amiga 1060 Sidecar with an extra floppy drive on top. The Sidecar btw allowed the A1000 to run MS-DOS software, and I first heard about its existence today. There's quite a bit about it over at Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_S...

Ghost Master remains an one-of-a-kind scare-'em-up, and a game I deeply love. Also, here's part one of the Ghost Master Post Mortem (from 2005) by Chris Bateman: www.ihobo.com/p/ghost-mast...

A great read from 2020: The Design Philosophy of Battletech persenche.medium.com/the-design-p... [ image via artofbattletech.tumblr.com/page/4 ]

I deeply appreciate how creative and playful books like the 'Raspberry Pi Guide to Retro Gaming' are. Think I should grab a copy. magazine.raspberrypi.com/books/retro-...

People suggested I do an analog version of the generator too, and, frankly, I do think that such a book would be a cool idea.

Given money, time, and other fantasy elements of the sort, I'd love to return to my Tomb Kings army in order to paint, expand, and bring it to the latest WHFB edition. Also, the forthcoming Tomb Kings do look stunning: www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Roadworthy(ish): the point-and-click game about a rusty car and a road trip. aemiliu5.itch.io/roadworthyish

The classic 1991 HeroQuest was a game I played for countless hours, and one I still deeply love. Having said that, I am really looking forward to HeroQuest: Digital Edition; even more so if it allows for proper online multiplayer. Wishlist it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3883590/...

I first experimented with it a few years ago, but I’ve recently returned to working on my city concepts generator. If all goes well, I'll start spending some *serious* time on it soon.

BASIC TO 6502 very impressively turns C64 BASIC code into 6502 assembly. In real time! polytricity.itch.io/basic-to-6502

Relatively old but still very interesting piece by Emily Short: 'Worldbuilding from a Mechanic' emshort.blog/2018/03/13/n...

Fantasy Flight is preparing to crowdfund Arkham Horror Remastered: an updated rerelease of Arkham Horror 2nd edition. I am intrigued, but still think that Eldritch Horror remains the superior game. Anyway, here's the link: gamefound.com/en/projects/...
