40 years ago, I was thoroughly enjoying Epyx' brilliant multi-event cold-climate sports spectacular, Winter Games. It continued the series' tradition of unusual but very entertaining events, all articulated via absolutely top-tier audiovisuals, and all extremely fun to play.

25% der Games-Journalisten haben die letzten 2 Jahre aufgehört.

Was macht die KI, wenn sie keine menschengemachten Infos mehr scrapen kann? Spielt sie die Games dann selber?

Ich bin dankbar für Euren Support.

40 years ago, I was really enjoying Little Computer People on C64, a progenitor to the Sims and other modern cosy-style games. Just really innovative and great fun. We somehow managed to kill our LCP due to a review version bug which, after a call with David Crane, was fixed!

RePlayOS is a new (not publicly released yet) low-latency, minimalist, CRT-supporting setup for Raspberry Pi (targeted to RPi 5, but works on 4 and less well on 3 too). This video convinced me that it’s pretty much the MiSTer of Raspberry Pi setups: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzSH...

35 years ago, I wrote about the Atari 2600 (yeah, typo) and talked about the idea of buying an old video game system and playing classic games for fun/historical interest. This idea wasn't called retro gaming yet, but would become increasingly popular through the 90s and beyond.

Die Computerbild hat's auch schon gemerkt: Der C64 Ultimate kommt. Das Besondere: Das Mainboard wurde originalgetreu nachgebaut obwohl ein FPGA, DDR- und Flash-Speicher, HDMI, WLAN und Ethernet verbaut sind. Magic! Oops, hätte fast die USB-Kassette übersehen...

I finally populated the last section of Console Mode. Here’s the arcade directory with screenshot support. It makes picking games much easier if you aren’t familiar with the titles.

1993 habe ich meinen Amiga 500 gegen einen PC mit Festplatte eingetauscht, wegen Wing Commander, Rebel Assault... - Ihr wisst schon. Daher hatte ich damals auch WHDLoad nicht mehr mitbekommen. Hier alle Grundlagen für Mit-Nachzügler: youtu.be/QGwkFIECmGg

40 years ago, Ocean - under the guise of Imagine - was advertising its ports of Konami's Yie Ar Kung-Fu coin-op. This early beat 'em up evolved the genre with unique characters and very fast-feeling gameplay, plus a wide variety of moves. The ports were generally very good.

Und ich will mich an dieser Stelle bei allen Kosmos-Fans bedanken. Die 13 Folgen sind jetzt durch, es werden keine weiteren mehr kommen. Wenn noch nicht getan, schaut Euch die letzten Folgen an, da diese spezielle deutsche Fassung YouTube verlassen muss.

Ich werde ein paar Videos gegen neue Varianten ersetzten - also nicht über die Reuploads wundern. So werden die Videos zu den "Besten Spielen des Jahres xyz" nur noch Kurzerläuterungen zu bereits vorgestellten Games enthalten - dann ist es für Stammzuschauer nicht mehr so langweilig 😉.

They say you should never meet your heroes. But meeting Boris Schneider-Johne, the man behind the original German translations of the “Monkey Island” games, was nothing short of amazing! 🏴‍☠️
