This year, I bought the entire packs/bundles of #DnD #DOS classics via #Steam as well as #Ultima 1 to 7 via #GOG.

The last time I played most of these were from 1988 to 1996. One or two I played again sometime early 2000s, randomly.

I already started with #ChampionsOfKrynn and #Ultima7 Part 1, and I'm already cheating. ROFL. I mean, the packs made it easy to cheat.

Back in the 90s, we had to use a hex editor like #PCtools. We open the savegame file, search through it through the hex editor, and did our magic.

Anyone played a vector based game similar to asteroids, except that you could land on tiny planets to conquer them?

the longer you were on a planet the more ships would fly around it strengthening the defense.

I have recently finished playing "Beneath a Steel Sky". Played it in #ScummVM on my #3DS this time around. It's my 2nd time ever beating the game. It was a great time, minus the pixel hunting puzzles here and there. Great music, fun dialog, Joey, LINC space, interesting atmosphere & characters. Did I mention Joey? Robert & Joey are hilarious.

I've been thinking I need a #fun side project for when I'm not feeling working on big things. I have the source #code for a few old #DOS #games I've hacked on a few times.

The games were written in #QuickBasic (and it's predecessors) and in the past I've used #QB64 to get them running natively on Windows....

Now I'm thinking of using an #LLM (e.g. like that powering #github #copilot) to translate the code into a modern language.

Can I share some screenshots from my Sim City 2000 game? I think it went well. I definitely did not cheat in millions of dollars.

@foone @dosnostalgic This sounds amazing for #dos #retrocomputing- DOS device driver that allows you to access a remote disk image on another machine as if it were locally mounted with a drive letter.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the release of Doom, one of my favorite games. A lot of neat Doom related events happened.

There was a reunion of John Carmack and John Romero where they reflected on the game. You can watch that on Twitch.

John Romero’s megawad SIGIL got a sequel. You can download both for free here but there’s also an option to purchase a version with new music as well.

screenshot of Evilternity 2 of some sort of temple at duskScreenshot from Eviternity II of the map Quetzalcoatl by DragonflyThe megawad Evilternity also got a surprise sequel that contains 36 maps. As the page states, DSDA Doom and GZDoom are both good ways to play these new maps.

If you’re looking for more Doom to play even after all that, there’s the 2023 Cacowards, which highlight great maps and mods that came out this year.

Happy 30th to Doom.
The game's impact on the gaming scene cannot be overstated, but enough's been said about that. I've been planning to honour not just it, but also Boom, the source port that enabled the modding community to move forward, as it's 25 years old now.

Unfortunately, I am feeling sick. so my tribute WAD's gonna arrive at a later date.
