It's Friday, so it's time for my #retro game of the week.

Lemmings is an all time classic game. One of the very best ever.

3D Lemmings... much less so.

A whole lot less so, though it did have HEAPS of ambition. Looking back on it now, it does shine a light on how developers struggled with early 3D in-game camera controls. Like, really, really struggled.

I sold off my gaming rig today. I’m stepping away from the hobby and this time I think for good. I don’t find joy in it anymore since it’s become so corporatized. I miss the 8 to 16 bit days… It’ll just be Apple Arcade for me going forward.

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow! It was such a joy to play as Alexander (King Graham's son) in his second video game as the protagonist. I love going on adventures with Daventry's royal family, it is such a treat. Alex encountering Samhain—The Lord of the Dead—stuck with me as a potent episodic memory etched forever in my mind. No "evil" character has ever hit me as hard as standing in front of such an awesome presence. #sierraonline #dos #retrogaming #gaming #pcgaming #pointandclick

"Ah, that is a blacker matter still!  To the Druids, he is Samhain, Lord of Coldness and Despair.  Samhain was once a man like you or I, but he insulted the gods and was sentenced to rule the Underworld.  Immortal he is, and mateless; robbed of sleep, robbed of movement, robbed of companionship."

#DailyRetroGame 132: The Colony (1987)

Rocking up years before Wolfenstein 3D, this pioneering title sits halfway between it and the superb Mercenary. David Alan Smith’s game may well be the first ever FPS, but it was also heavy on exploration, charging you with finding/rescuing survivors who’d not yet fallen to deadly alien invaders. Amazing for the time and still a compelling challenge today.

The next--serious, meant to be enjoyed, non-DOS trash--game to be played live on stream!

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain was fun but now it is time to move on to the sequel, Soul Reaver! A personal favorite game that I played exclusively on the PS1 as a kid.

I'll be playing the unofficial HD Remaster that utilizes the Dreamcast version via the Flycast emulator with and HD texture pack.

This should be a great time!

OK this is an emergency call to my #retrogaming #retrocomputing #mediaarchaeology #hardwarehacker #hacker enthusiast friends in and around the #Denver metro/Front Range/ #Boulder / #ColoradoSprings / #FortCollins area

Urban Putt Denver is, sadly, closing its doors. However, there is an opportunity to rescue a one-of-a-kind stand up arcade game/mini golf "hole" before it ends up in the scrap heap.

Bunker Blast 3000 was designed to resemble a retro 1980s arcade game. As a mini-golf hole, the game is played by putting into a ramp underneath the "arcade" display. Sensors inside the game read the ball's velocity and angle, and the game renders a virtual ball on the screen, rolling through a "game grid" like environment reminiscent of Tron. The game then kicks the ball out for subsequent putt attempts.

The unit is 36 inches wide and roughly 5 to 6 feet tall. It features a color display and custom software that exists as a one-of-a-kind homage to classic arcade games.

Here's the deal though: This unit needs to be moved THIS SUNDAY, June 11th, when the dismantling of Urban Putt will be going on.

If you know someone who wants, or you yourself want, a collectible and irreplaceable, fully functional and FUN AS HELL objet-d'art for your living room, barcade, or museum, my friend, Urban Putt CEO Steve Fox, will GIVE YOU the item at no charge, if you can bring enough people and a vehicle large enough to carry it away.

DM me for serious inquiries, only. No, it's too heavy to ship out of Colorado unless you're going to put it in your own box truck and carry it yourself.

Please repost widely. Thank you!

The art on the boxes of not representative of the game, obviously. The art? Fantasy art of the sort you’d see on torrid fantasy novel covers in the ‘80s. The game art? Gorgeous pixel-art. Whatever else the KQ games are… they’re gorgeous.

Calling all #PCB #PCBdesign experts - what does "200191010" tell you on this board from a QuickShot Starfighter 5 gamepad, model QS-191, from the early 90s? Was this PCB made in January 1991, or October 1991, or does this mean something else entirely? What might the "2 3 SE 1994" stamp mean? And if it *was* made in 1991 - what might have kept it from being sold at retail until late '92/'93, when its box was printed? This has major implications for my #retrogaming research - boosts appreciated!

A close-up photo of an early 90s PC gamepad circuit board. Markings include the brandname Quickshot, the model number QS-191, a revision number 1.1, an unclear logo and the text "Z10", and what I suspect is a date code 200191010.

Two of my little projects. The RP Engine is a Raspberry Pi powered PC Engine box with a CD drive so it can boot actual PC engine CDs using RetroArch. I also intended to make a version of the base that could hold the PC Engine controller to USB adaptor from the second picture. On the left is the RT Engine, the recreated LT. Quite a bit chunkier than the original due to me wanting to use unmodified PCBs from an actual PC Engine and it’s controller. Both are open source #RetroGaming #Maker

Two grey boxes.  The box on the left is a flip top with the top containing a screen and the bottom containing a slot for a game card and a controller.  The one on the right is about the same footprint but half the height.  It has a design on top saying RP Engine and the front contains a CD tray, on off switch and USB port

My kid and I made some custom Miis on the Wii after finding a site (https://MiiCharacters.com) that has a database of custom ones and step by step instructions on how to make them. I found (and my kid made) the David Letterman one, because I thought that would be amazing, to be able to race karts and motorcycles as David Letterman. 🤣

In Mario Kart, there's a thing where you can race as the same character. My son and I noticed that when you both race as Daisy with bikes and you both place, it randomly assigns a head to one of your characters so they won't both be the same.

So that's how Dave in Daisy's lovely yellow dress happened. A hilarious result. 😂🤣

This is the control unit for a PC Engine peripheral called the ‘Virtual Cushion’. It’s basically a rumble device that you sit on. I don’t have the cushion part of this so I figured I’d open it up. It’s a fairly simple device, it takes in the game audio over RCA jacks, pushes it out to a headphone and then (I’m guessing) uses the peaks to generate a signal that it sends to the cushion, which then activates the rumble. #RetroGaming

Here's my #Acorn A3020. Currently has 2 MB RAM, a 250 MB HDD and a 386sx PC emulator card installed.

Sadly, I somehow blew up the mouse port some time ago, which now needs to be fixed. Also need to get the RAM upgraded to 4 MB.

My Stuff column this week is Air today, obsolete tomorrow? But my ancient #iPad still has value. This looks at Apple adding the first iPad Air to its list of obsolete devices, and how vital I still find mine as a gateway to the early days of App Store games. https://www.stuff.tv/features/air-today-obsolete-tomorrow-but-my-ancient-ipad-still-has-value/ #retrogaming #Apple

I have just killed the last English language account I had left on Twitter.

I created a new profile as @haitchfive for those of you who are interested in retro stuff I used to cross-post pertaining to:

#retrogaming #retrocomputing #ZXSpectrum #Speccy #TS2068 #Spectrum #SpectrumNext #neoretro #ZXSpectrumNext #TK90X

Going forward, there will be less retro stuff here, and more over there at @haitchfive

Pixel art for the 1993 Amiga version of our game Moon Child. After Commodore went bankrupt in 1994, Moon Child was reinitiated for Windows and published in 1997.

Download the game and lots of assets here:

This Jazz16 based sound card from 1994 was my first sound card. Back then in a 486SX25. What was your first sound card?

An ISA soundcard, a variety of chips, including the famous Yamhaha OPL3 can be seen.
