You can let out all your subconscious crankiness in THANK YOU BUS DRIVER, and garner appreciation from innocent passengers for keeping rude riders in check. SLAP rule breakers, or throw them out the back of the bus if they don't behave! ๐Ÿš๐ŸšŽ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Get Slappy: https://doublefine.com/tybd

Okay, yeah, I had a feeling I'd like it. The John Gleep demo is very funny, very stupid, and very smart. A fusion of arcade alien abduction, Balatro/Peggle fusion, casino management and stock market manipulation, and every part of it is dumb as rocks. The intro is so good.

The NES turns 41 today (launched Oct. 18, 1985). As revealed at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social, @winterion.com, James (legendofNES.com), and I found and documented the Hackensack, NJ, warehouse Nintendo used for its test-market launch. Itโ€™s still standing and looks nearly identical.

Remembering Richard โ€œLevelordโ€ Gray. In this interview, Richard reflects on the creative freedom he and Allen Blum had while designing the iconic levels of Duke Nukem 3D.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Richard โ€œLevelordโ€ Gray. From his legendary work on Duke Nukem 3D to the countless players and developers he inspired, Richard leaves behind a lasting legacy. Rest in peace, Levelord.

medium.comโ€˜Okko The Exiledโ€™ โ€” Short, Sweet & Fun Games Still ExistThis almost flew under my radar

I remember this game being loaded up on my C64, although the tape was taken out after... Of course, at the same time, I don't recall making it past the first level, so that probably didn't matter!

A little Commodore 64 preservation today with an early prototype of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo from 1991 added to Games That Weren't. Likely a progress build, there's no sound and potentially a few differences to the final game. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/09/scoo...

Saw a woman on TikTok who said she quit corporate at age 46 to become a beekeeper because โ€œI would literally rather get stung by 10,000 bees than write โ€˜per my last emailโ€™ againโ€ and you know what? I respect that

Ooh... I need to get something up and running to play this! I'm not exactly a fan of Iron Maiden right now, but I am a fan of gaming history and lost games!

Games That Weren't@gamesthatwerent.com

MELT, a lost 1997 PC game featuring Iron Maiden's Eddie, has been recovered! We're releasing a build for the first time, along with source code and an updated version for modern PCs. We also speak to developer Paul Tebbutt. Thanks to Tamaracade for their earlier research.

Tomorrow... Roguecraft DX launches on Steam! Five years of work, from an 8-bit dungeon crawler to this. Three heroes, a caged badger, and horrors that rebuild their lair every time you die. It might be the best version yet! #WishlistWednesday #roguelike
