Test de Phantasie III: The Wrath of Nikademus sur Atari ST, le premier C-RPG auquel j'ai joué ! Test de Bivouac (Infogrames) sur Thomson TO8 (page de droite) qui est peut-être le premier jeu d'alpinisme de l'histoire des jeux vidéo !

Pas de disque dans mon exemplaire.

Mais j'avais trouvé le vinyle (souple) il y a quelques années 😀

Un disque promotionnel de L'Arche du Captain Blood qui était collé sur la page de droite 🌌

Reçu aujourd'hui ! 🥳

Le 1er numéro du magazine Game Mag. J'avais un ou deux numéros plus jeune (pas celui-ci). Je me souviens que j'avais décalqué le logo que je trouvais super classe.

Très content de posséder ce numéro 🥰

Some reviews of my game Pictopix are quite humorous 😂

It made my day 🌞

I play this while waiting for my build to compile during work. I play this after work. I play this while my girlfriend talks to me. I play this when my dog asks to on a walk. I play this in bed on my steamdeck (after Switching compatibility to “Steam Linux Runtime”). I am close to the end and about to start achievement hunting. This game has ruined my life. 10/10

I watched 12 Monkeys last night 🐒 🕓

Even though I know how it ends, I still love this movie. The atmosphere, the characters, the really well-crafted plot. And those little details I had forgotten 🤗

Time flies…

I listened to some of Stéphane Picq's compositions today, including Kult and Extase, which are definitely among my favorites along with Dune.

What are yours? 🙂

Yessssss! 🥳 🎆

I managed to complete the extra levels and bosses. And get a new ending.

I'm still impressed by this game, made by a developer who managed to break away from the influence of Metroid. The mark of a great game ✨

Here are more photos to show what an inserted cartridge looks like, the differences between them, and how they compare to a real Game Boy cartridge.

The designers did a great job!

The Lego Game Boy set is finally complete! 😀

I finished with the Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land game cartridges and the console stand.

This set is really great and was fun to build ❤️

V for Vendetta finished 🎭

I devoured the book in a week! Despite a few clichés of the genre, I enjoyed it.

It might be a good idea to turn it into a TV series, because I feel like the story was written with that in mind.

Here's the original art. Drawn by Tim White in 1979 for the cover of the novel Lord of the Spiders (Michael Moorcock).

And the conversion of the image into pixel art (694 x 566) is very neat 🖌️

A save point before this boss would have been nice.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo complete! ✨

It was fun. If I buy the game, it'll be on Switch because it's the cheapest version. I haven't decided yet.

The combination of Akira Toriyama and Kōichi Sugiyama always has a feel-good effect on me. It makes me feel like I'm in a cocoon 🤗 ☕️
