What's the most engaging thing you remember reading about game history?

I'm even more interested if it covers something you usually wouldn't care about, but still burrowed right into your Veins of Intrigue.

The reason I've stopped publishing historical research from Italy is that, as many of my colleagues have also noticed, most of that research gets "borrowed" by others (often uni professors) who happily attend events and publish books, while you're left being mostly uncredited and misquoted.

FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY

Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏.

The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley.

Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?

It is my birthday and my housemate bought me a trumpet, finally confirming, without doubt, that he is a masochist.

Just found this cassette for 50¢, that looks like a one-man, off-Broadway, musical character study of Niles Crane.

What's the most enjoyable/satisfying puzzle you've ever solved in an adventure game?

Check this out (particularly from around 6:00) for Scorched Earth circa 1969!
Could be of interest to game historians/fans - a 1969 film from Dartmouth College showing P0TSH0T, an early artillery/ballistic curve computer game, displayed using a plotter. Credit to the original uploader Kevin Bunch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ7A...

Since I don't stream anymore, I can't sneakily convince 100+ people to watch this 17 minute Australian advertisement every 6 months or so...

But I can still post it here.

R.I.P. to the concerningly detailed Commander Keen themed AC:NL town I made, after getting severe nerve damage in my head about a decade ago.

Now that's a brand new sentence.

Just published a very short and free Playdate game. My 6 and 8 year old designed it and did the writing and I helped with coding and art. It's a big mix of various ideas they had for a game but I had fun making it with them

It is so nice to buy some art made by a real person. :)
Can't afford to commission someone?
Bookmark their page for a better day!
Or grab a postcard, patch, or sticker, if you can scrounge it!

Hey, if this time of year is really, really, really, really, really, really awful for you too, I'm really, truly, genuinely sorry. I hope you find some things to find joy in and some love for yourself.
