💬Excerpt from an interview with Jane Jensen refuting the so-called experts of the time who claimed that the main drawback of adventure games is the inability to replay them once finished.
32 years ago today on May 5 1992, one of the greatest games of all time (and forever my favorite first person shooter), Wolfenstein 3D, was released. I wrote about it for the list of 20 video games I can't stop thinking about (https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2024/04/06/20-video-games-i-cant-stop-thinking-about). I still play it regularly. Sometimes weekly. Killing digital Nazis is always fun and therapeutic.
sometimes I completely lack the motivation to do anything.. but then there's SimCity2000! 💙 There's a patched version that runs under Win10/11 with native resolution.. which is nice.
Welp, TFX must be doing something extremely weird with the graphics - neither my GBS8200 nor my Extron IN1604hd scaler can get a stable lock on the output video. Every now and again the frame judders about half-way down the screen :( #retrocomputing#retrogaming#DOSgaming
#SentientSoftware, probably a typical American garage company – or a start-up, as we would call it today – was founded solely for the purpose of publishing the #TextAdventures produced by owner #MichaelBerlyn himself. Reportedly already addicted to science fiction literature as a teenager, the game he first published, Oo-Topos, was naturally also from this genre.
