This month I played «Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen» (German review in PC Games 1/93: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). As a fan of «Might and Magic III», I expected to enjoy this one as well, but it was too similar and just not interesting enough to keep me playing. #PCgames #games #33YearsAgo

I recently reminisced with fellow game devs about the great games Max Design created back in the 90s. 🧡🩵 A week ago I played «1869», their sea trading simulation. ⛵️ I love the music and the pixel art; the gameplay though … not that interesting anymore (+ colonialism 🙄). 🤷‍♂️ #PCgames #games #33yearsAgo

Two days ago I played «Legend of Kyrandia: Book One» (🗞️ review in PC Games 11/92)
 Graphics & music are very Westwood; feels like coming home, if you enjoyed Dune or Lands of Lore. 😌 
The puzzles are not that difficult. I was impressed by the pixel art DOF in the intro. 🤩 #PCgames #games #33yearsAgo

I particularly enjoyed hooking the floppy drive up to my Mac and installing the game inside DosBox using the original floppy disks. 💾💾💾💾 They still work! 😊 Although it is a USB floppy drive, the sound still takes me back to the times when it was part of a 386 desktop PC. 🟠🔊 #games #33yearsAgo

Today I played «Lure of the Temptress» by Revolution Software (the early Charles Cecil), which was reviewed in PC Games 10/92. Although the game is short, controls and character dynamics feel quite modern, almost like an open world game. The creators called it “Virtual Theatre”. 🎭 #games #33yearsAgo

🗓️ 33 years & 3 months ago my brother bought the first issue of the »PC Games« (10/92). 📰 I was eight years old and amazed by all the colorful screenshots of games I did not know anything about. 🤩 Years later I would become a subscriber myself. #PCgames #games #33yearsAgo

Kurz vor der GamesCom haben wir eine neue spiele*macher:innen-Episode veröffentlicht. *️⃣🩷🥎🥎 Darin sprechen @mareikereh.bsky.social und ich mit der Game Designerin Mona Brandt; darüber, wie sie zum Spielemachen gekommen ist, über Selbstvertrauen und das Erinnern: www.saschareinhold.de/podcasts/spi...

Let’s properly kick this account off with a picture of this weekend’s baking. 🌀Originally I wanted to make poppy seed plaited yeast buns. 🥯 However, I couldn’t find poppy seeds at the shop, so I went for sesame plaited yeast buns. Still very delicious. 😋 Have nice week! 👋 #baking #buns #sesame

Two days ago I struggled connecting to people at #devcom. However, I managed to grab dinner with a super nice group of people, before heading to #couragecologne. This very much saved my day. 😌 Thanks again to Mareike, Zemre, Luca, Jasper and Tino for the wonderful time! 🥳

15 years have passed since my last visit to Cologne. 😮 Now I am back for DevCom and GamesCom, taking part as a Press Start grant recipient. 🥳 It was a lot of fun spending the day with my Press Start fellows and celebrating at our midterm event. 🫶 #devcom #gamescom #cologne #pressstart
