@puddlespityparty.bsky.social was also pretty great at Red Rocks this evening. He made a real meal of Kevin Costner!

@alyankovic.bsky.social put on a great show at Red Rocks tonight. Best set of lungs in the biz, I didn't see him gasping for air even once!

Purely for the historical record, I would like to say, "Devour Feculence".

As a #steelydan fan, this is hands-down the best thing I've yet heard in 2025. Kent Nishimura is amazing! youtu.be/j2rZ_K5ifb8?...

@thevideogamelibrary.org How about this thick tome covering the history of CRPGs, Dungeons & Desktops?

@thevideogamelibrary.org Yeah buddy! Appreciate all of the diligence required to maintain such a useful and definitive resource. I love what y'all are doing over there.

@thevideogamelibrary.org ...which brings me to The Lucasarts Chronicles. Some really great behind-the-scenes info, and history of the company. Maybe a bit more focus on Star Wars games than suits my taste, but worthwhile and well put together.

@thevideogamelibrary.org More comics...Dark Horse's four-part adaptation of one of my all-time favorite games, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. #lucasarts

@thevideogamelibrary.org Speaking of pack-ins, DC also published a few (4, maybe?) of these Atari Force mini-comics. There was also a newsstand run of 6 issues.

@thevideogamelibrary.org There was run of 3 (I think) Swordquest comics published by Dynamite in 2017. These are not the same as the pack-in comics from DC in 1982.

Wow, I didn't know that. I'm going to try to pick that one up also.

I've got a few others that don't show up in your search, but I see that "Submit a Book" button, so I'll do it there.

@thevideogamelibrary.org Do you have this one? I wasn't certain it was based on the game when I picked it up, but then I saw the first page...and the copyright notice =)

Cross-post 2 / 2 - From last year, my Halloween 2024 project. This is an edit of the highlights from Trick-or-Treat night. It performed far better than I expected given my prior testing. #ai #chatgpt #llm

I just posted this compilation of Sierra On-Line's Christmas card demos (1986–1992) to YouTube. These holiday animations typically played on a loop in stores to highlight Sierra's latest tech.

I still remember waking up on Christmas morning in 1986 to see one playing on my new Tandy. Pure magic.

L'Empereur (1991) by Koei didn't get quite as much play in our house as BKoAC, but I liked that it supported the AdLib sound card. #bigboxpc

Bandit Kings of Ancient China (1989) by Koei. I do not exaggerate when I say that my Mom has thousands of hours into this game. She played it for a decade. Lately, she's been obsessed with Frostpunk (8887 hours) Anybody else grow up with a gamer mom? What did she like to play? #bigboxpc

I don't recall spending much time playing the campaign, but I burnt countless hours setting up tracking shots of airplane fly-bys and explosions and watching the replays. Disney's Stunt Island (1992) #bigboxpc

Did you know that Cliff Johnson self-published a sequel to his 1987 classic The Fool's Errand? He sold it on his web site starting in 2012. It is no longer available for purchase. #bigboxpc

Guardians of Infinity: To Save Kennedy (1988) by Paragon Software. Brilliant concept, but a difficult, frustrating game that doesn't serve the inherent promise of the premise. I still love the creativity and only wish I could go back in time to deliver the devs some modern design lessons. #bigboxpc

Wilderness, A Survival Adventure (1986) by Electric Transit. I like this folio-style packaging with the thick, detailed, integrated manual. This is the MS-DOS release.

Might as well stick with Interplay. Here's 1993's Rags to Riches. The legendary Tim Cain was the lead programmer on this one. #bigboxpc

Received my Supercade Collector's Edition last week. Well worth the wait! Thanks @supercade.bsky.social for seeing it through. The books are truly lovely with some fantastic images. Love 'em!
