Commander Keen (remastered or otherwise) on Evercade would be incredible.

1-3 plus Dreams on Collection 1.
4-6 plus GBC on Collection 2.

Insta-buys for me.

Inspired by @emmxyzzy.bsky.social's recent adventure - I'm on my own quest to play through the King's Quest series!

Played it lots as a kid but, as far as I remember, never completed it...

Let's change that! 👑

Came across this impressive sand sculpture on a beach walk yesterday. The dogs were intrigued!

Oh yeah - it's here!

Thank you for all your hard work on your encyclopedia series, @scully1888.bsky.social!

#4 - Donkey Kong Country

The excitement for this at the time!
Who knew games could look this
good?

I had that promotional VHS to keep the hype up while we waited.

Still try to revisit this at least once a year.

#3 - Theme Hospital

My PC wasn't good enough to play this initially - but once we upgraded, wow!

Peak Bullfrog magic.

#2 - Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

What a masterpiece.

In my opinion, the greatest point and click adventure of all time.

The story, the humour, the art, the music, the puzzles (Yes, even THAT one) - 10/10 across the board.

#1 - Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons

This game defined my childhood. A delightful platformer with a cheeky sense of humour.

Hard to pick just one episode of the three as there were bits I loved in each...

The Mars setting of 1, the Vorticon Elites in 2, and of course Messie in 3!

Looks fun - I'm in!

Hope everyone's enjoying the mischief in @seaofthievesgame.bsky.social Season 14!

Not sure I'll be able to play much this season.. got my own little troublemaker to keep an eye on!

What a way to spend a wet Sunday!

Horrible Histories for big kids!

Great stuff - I definitely learn better with humour...

Recently passed my driving test 🥳

Getting to the coast via my first motorway this weekend was a big deal!

Welcome, Doctor Fifteen! A lovely early Christmas present - see you in a couple of weeks!

Happy 60th Birthday, Doctor Who! A source of joy, inspiration and strength for so many - myself included.

Lovely first playthrough of Forbidden Jungle with the wife. A win too!

What a great series - highly recommended if you enjoy a co-operative board game.

Forbidden Island is probably still my favourite - but the new twists in the Jungle were a lot of fun.
