re-posting my starter pack full of retro computing people. You may have followed the people within a few days ago, but I kept adding to it so it's worth revisiting and adding the rest, including Macintosh Game Dev "royalty" John Calhoun, author of Glider, Glypha, Pararena

Close to being done with my 2 custom menu systems for my wildbitsK2 (fmr. F256K2) and msdos 6.22 PC that I'll have at my table in VCF Mtl. Would you stop by my table to check this obscure new retro machine on the left and to try out the PC Game port Party on the right with cool 1v1 gamepad games?

here's my capture of the sound track of the floppy version of Alien Legacy. You can navigate with timestamps in the description and find my favorites. Some are unforgettable and ear-wormy, some are just filler music tied to short events in-game.

I just got this big boxed MS-DOS game, floppy version of Alien Legacy, in very good condition.
I always had a soft spot for it, despite never completing it.
It's my understanding that you have to patch it or use the CD-version to having a fighting chance?
I always prefered the fm synth soundtrack

PC Gameport party reviewee by none other than Phil's computer lab! Very neat! I launched this project last year but revised it recently.
