Went to the library, forgetting Tuesday is the night they host the chess club I've been meaning to check out. They invited me in, and before I knew it I'd lost to two different people, but I had fun all the same. There's an 82-year-old dude there who's unstoppable.

A game can't qualify as the best racing title for any platform unless that game contains some sweet ass jumps. Given that this excludes much of the C64's library, what does that leave it? Stunt Car Racer, Buggy Boy and Super Off Road leap to mind. What else? Any motorbike games where you catch air?

@golgo13.bsky.social There's one option for graphics that are closer to the C64, and it's based on the fixed version. I think the latest updates are on the last page of the forum thread.

Time and again, YouTube videos will list Lemmings among the Amiga's best games. But it's only a matter of seconds before you see them click that nuke button.

So it isn't the game itself you love. It's quitting the game.

Seriously, if it's so great, why aren't more people doing full playthroughs?

The last three notes of the Bard's Tale Traveller's Tune chorus remind me so much of the last three notes of whatever part of the song they meant this to be, the "In, This, World!" part. If you hear it, you'll forever be singing it in your head whenever you play from now on. youtu.be/hxPsXPCR5MU

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence.

"Whether squashed, scorched, stifled or soaked in honey, the philosopher knows when to die and does not appeal against his sentence when it has been passed."
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence.

“Unfortunately, most choices on the Web aren’t as clear.”
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence.

Double, and rather easy take.

If you buy this, currently $3.99, it comes with the Apple IIgs (IIe for BTIII) ports of the original trilogy, which Burger Becky said were the definitive versions, pre-remaster.

Without stealing from the pre-made party, I've gotten my billies up to lvl 7.

This comes out to just over a buck a title, but... No Colonization? After Pirates, that was the one I played most on my Amiga. Loved the music. I think I remember they made a Colonization game on the Civ III or Civ IV engine. Why not include it? www.humblebundle.com/games/best-o...

A year ago someone gave me a provolone wheel from Wisconsin. It's been in the back of the fridge and I forgot about it. But today I dug it out and cut off the hardened outer bit. While it can no longer in good conscience be called provolone, the treasure it revealed is quite delicious, albeit stinky

@golgo13.bsky.social This is the map I used to show her where the chest was, based on what you showed me. Is this correct?

@golgo13.bsky.social Fired up Taito Legends to see if I could put into practice any of @logrus.uk's winning Bubble Bobble techniques. Didn't go well at all, but I did wind up kinda getting into Cadash. What happens when you run out of time? You just gotta use another credit?
January 22, 2026 at 2:51 AM
@logrus.uk Maybe to fully assess the recent Bubble Bobble C64 remaster, you don't compare it to the arcade original, you play the unadulterated C64 version first, then compare the remaster to that.

The real Bard's Tale trilogy. Play the 1st game, avoid the abysmal 2nd. Import your characters to the 3rd, a masterpiece. Then bring that party into Dragon Wars.

I consider BT4 a betrayal. The art direction, the tone, all wrong. Dwarves look like orcs and gnomes look like aliens. They went edgy. 🤮
