💾 NEW PODCAST 💾 In November we looked at Toonstruck, the FMV point & click adventure game from 1996 featuring none other than Christopher Lloyd (that's "Doc Brown" from Back to the Future!)
This was a huge production at the time, with apparently a budget of around 8 million dollar!
Sadly the game seems a bit forgotten now, but that's all the more reason for us to take a look at it.
💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Who hasn't enjoyed a nice round of golf on their computer? The slowly rendered trees, the random bird chirps, it's just like being outside!
We've done multi-game episodes before, but this one is our most ambitious yet, as no fewer than 50 games were discussed on our forums.
Some are text-only, some have all the multimedia features, but all are about golf!
Ready for some retro gaming fun? Our newest Kickstarter is here: Ollie’s Arcade Expansion. Help us bring Ollie’s Arcade to the masses and add new games, including Frenzic, to the collection. 🕹️

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Back in May we looked at all the pool, snooker & billiards games we could find for MS-DOS.
That's right... all of them! There aren't actually that many as you might think. But some of these are pretty special indeed!
💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 In December we played Betrayal at Krondor, the 1993 open world RPG by Dynamix, based on the "Riftwar Cycle" universe by Raymond E. Feist.
The game isn't based on a specific novel, but Feist was such a fan of the game he novelised it after the fact, when he published "Krondor: The Betrayal" in 1998.
There's much more to talk about, so dig in!

Finally ready to show the world my super-secret-side-project, my scratch made 1:48 scale facade of the RPD from #ResidentEvil 2. I'm really happy with how this came out, considering I've never really done any model making before.
Few more whys/hows/thoughts in the thread to follow 🧵

Hi, I am Zelda.
Here ye shall find:
- Gushing about video games, anime, and manga. Especially #retrogaming, indie and Nintendo games.
- The cutest spikeball you will meet and more OCs to come
- Griping about design, especially UX and game design
- Pictures of my cute cats, Soot and Shine
- Chill livestreams focused on comedy and offbeat gaming
- Positivity and needy trans girl things
- No AI stuff
I am shy, but if I gush about a topic, I am always happy to chat about it in my replies.
💾 NEW PODCAST💾 Remember when back in 2015 SkyNet took over Los Angeles? What a bummer that was, huh. Luckily Bethesda has a game in which you can do something about it.
The Terminator: Future Shock (1995) is a first-person shooter that has more of a narrative-focus than was common in shooters at the time. You can also control several vehicles. A very forward-thinking game, but is it fun to play?
Let's find out!

Joustine: Joust 3 updates 1982 classic Joust to now support 12 players.
Scientifically proven to be 6x as fun as 1982 Joust. ANYTHING works as a controller. Client app (Apple & Android), web browsers, game controllers, anything with a keyboard. Siri Remote for Apple TV 4K even works great!

Been digging through a couple of boxes looking for something, and look what I've found!
I've bought this one ~10 years ago just to play Gravity Rush, although it came with a Minecraft, Rayman Origins and an Uncharted cartridges from it's prior owner.
What was your favourite #PSVita/#PSP game from back then? (as in, I want to play something fun. any suggestions?)
