Do you like MS-DOS games? Are you somehow able to tolerate female Australian accents?
Well, do I have the video for you!

@MichaelKlamerus Thank you so much! Literally every time I see you existing online, you're just being generally lovely and delightful.

@ThreeOhFour I'd never made the Chickens connection before, but I guess they do have similar visual vibes! The whole SLUDGE engine used to make Out of Order is absolutely fascinating to me, it's a real shame it didn't get as much attention as AGS.

Sometimes you might want a butt in your face, and sometimes you might not.

VERY excited to be playing Pantsmo today. It's a mod of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure by eviltentacle and I, where we finally clothe that naked little alien boy. And... About half the other items in the game. So far.

I am currently editing our @dosgameclub episode about Donkey Island with @yozy, @emmxyzzy and @sonneveld, that I sadly couldn't participate in - and I think this is such a cool discussion about the game and how the English translation came to be.

I'm kinda sad now I missed it but then again I wouldn't have had much to contribute.

@rnlf You're the one editing it! Just dub it in! 😜

(Glad you're enjoying it, though!)

Thanks to @sonneveld — and also me not being bothered to do it myself — I now have a 99 lives version of my favourite janky MS-DOS platformer: The Pack Rat.

This may very well be my worst stream of the year. Feel free to try to sway me off course.

This is a lovely list of adventure game streamers that includes some of my favorite people. I'm honored to be among them. I immediately followed the two I didn't know already. P.S. If your interests overlap with mine, I recommend @MichaelKlamerus as a nice person to follow that shares many good things. https://dosgame.club/@MichaelKlamerus/111403818571948857

Hello! I made a lil' YouTube video about my favourite MS-DOS Multiplayer Games!

(The games are as good as my audio is bad. 😎)

Here's a link: https://youtu.be/L-a3J47HeyM

@Bogusmeatfactory @dosgameclub I've been meaning to backtrack through the DGC episodes since they've recently been covering a game I translated. Now I know where to start, thanks! :)

@Cheeseness That's how I was first introduced to it too!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Cheese! It really means a lot!

@cstanhope No such thing as too much time on OMF!

@hollerpots There sure is! I was trying to resist slandering Skunny, but a little might have snuck in. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!

I did the thing. 25 games to understand me as a human

@mogwai_poet @robotspacer linked this to me, and I went HECK YEAH KEN'S LABYRINTH, and smiled at my screen for a full ten seconds before realising my titles were in the second row.

Mostly just finding references to 'calcium cannons'.

So last stream we were distracted by dogs (understandably!) so let's go see what Al Phee wants in Callahan's Crosstime Saloon! Warming up with a bit more Quadrax! Streaming now! https://twitch.tv/sonneveld

@f4grx That's an A and a lowercase L. It's a name of a character from a DOS game.

New month, new game! In September we like to do pirate games if we can, and this month we're looking at The Secret of Donkey Island!

Head over to our forums at https://www.dosgameclub.com to discuss this game.

The intro of Secret of Donkey Island, introducing the lead character Gajbras and setting the scene as he arrives on an island in the Caribbean.

@emmxyzzy@mas.to avatar

@dosgameclub Excited to see what you make of it! P.S. It did also have an official German release!

@emmxyzzy@mas.to avatar

It's the 29th anniversary of the first commercial Czech game for MS-DOS: The Secret of Donkey Island!

Many people have wanted an English release over the years, and today it is available to download, free! Check out donkeyisland.zip for the file!

We're also streaming it, right now! If you want to avoid spoilers, stay away! twitch.tv/emmxyzzy

@Tijn @eniko Thanks for posting the full link! All the relevant dot coms were taken, or far too expensive to commit to. We did this as an unpaid project, so can't really afford to spend money on pricey domains. ...It'll likely pop up on abandonware sites soon enough for those scared of .zip URLs!

@emmxyzzy@mas.to avatar

Have you, like me, always wanted an English translation of the first ever commercial Czech MS-DOS game, The Secret of Donkey Island?

Well, @sonneveld and I have made one!

Freeware release will be on Tues/Wed this week, depending on your location.

More details to come. 🫏✨
