It's awesome that there are people still patching and improving the game to this day. If you were back in 1999, you know how big of a deal this game was. Glorious times! https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches/releases/tag/v469d

I don't think I've shared my Pac-Man sweater on Mastodon yet, but I thought some of y'all might like it.

We've published the pattern and more details on my blog. https://docpop.org/2017/12/pac-man-sweater-made-traditional-icelandic-style/

I've just learned that Romhacking.net is planning on removing their HomeBrew section entirely, probably during the next major update to the site. Sad, sad news.

Have you ever felt that no matter what you do you couldn't shake something bad or stop it from happening? This frantic will remind you.

This is also an early example of a composer of lending their skill to a video game soundtrack. (Perhaps the first time?)

Yoshitaka Azuma
Panzer Dragoon: Main Theme
(1995)

This main theme is an earlyish example of the use of orchestral music in a video game. It has since been played in concert.

Okay #retrogaming - I got Kodi set up on my #nvidia #shieldtv with the internet archive game launcher... and I just re-re-remembered that my beloved #steamcontroller won't work with it... I have no idea why I keep forgetting this.

I'm looking for 4 cheap bt controllers but the market is flooded... any #suggestions ?

When I think "Genesis/Mega Drive twang" I think Fatal Rewind, a.k.a. The Killing Game Show. Maybe there's a better game that shows off that signature sound, but I'd struggle to name it. Any ideas? Maybe The Ooze?

It's September 15th! That means it's the official start of the Spooky Season 🦇 I'm celebrating day one by:

  1. Starting to read "The Only Good Indians" by Stephen Graham Jones. It's got tons of ghost deer, so I'm pumped!

  2. Watching "The Twilight Zone" reboot. The first story was creepy and interesting!

  3. Playing "Signalis". It had me hooked after I picked up a copy of "The King in Yellow" in-game

I'm late posting this, but my retro gamer friend and I had a game night the other night. He had the perfect thing to help celebrate the Halloween season: Nightmare Creatures on N64! It's pretty jank, but we had a great time kicking werewolves 😄

I forgot to mention that I played "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" at my friend's place the other day. We got a lot farther than I would have expected - which is not very far, actually 😂 It's a lot of fun! ...I wish it would work on Steam Deck 😤

Y'all've heard of C.P.E. Bach. This here's C.P.U. Bach, by Sid Meier. It was a piece of software using primitive artificial intelligence to compose Bach-like music.

So excited to see more love; this time from Joe Bourrie's upcoming book "Beyond the NES"! ❤️

In addition to Dustin Hansen's gorgeous cover art, this book celebrates the Famicom's rich library, and is inspired by classic gaming mags of yesteryear.
