One of my favourite pieces of music in a game bursting with memorable, atmospheric compositions by Guido Henkel.

Third game in the first trilogy of adaptations in the 90s of Germany's Das Schwartze Auge (The Dark Eye) TTRPG and 'Adventuria' campaign setting.

📺: Shadows Over Riva, 1996 (DOS)

Monday is Scott Murphy's birthday! For a variety of dumb reasons, we won't be doing a Space Quest Olympics livestream as usual. Instead, I'll be humiliating myself by trying to beat the SQ1 speedrunning World Record: youtu.be/RB8X64D1P1g

I played a little bit with my oldest but it's been a little while. Definitely fun co-op gaming. Oh, that's a good idea to go out and gather. The kids seem to know all the recipes and resources they need :)

That's awesome, survival mode gets interesting at night with all the creepers coming out. Definitely changes the dynamics and creative priorities!

My complete Maupiti Island playthrough is now on YouTube! This is a long, difficult game, but it’s one of the most interesting detective mystery games I’ve played. Friend of the stream Dronon made chapter markers so you can skip to the most exciting bits if you like. robotspacer.tv/archive/maup...

From the desk of @oneshorteye.bsky.social: An almost 4 hour long dissertation about why Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra is such a beautiful clusterfuck of an adventure game? Inject that shit into my veins. youtu.be/nSODB1CRez0

It is done.

This took about two years from research to release, and I doubt I’ll ever make something of this scope ever again. I’m so thankful to everyone who supported me.

Today I learned there are multiple paintings of King Graham in Minecraft

Princess Pearl @princess-pearl.bsky.social · 7d

I was watching a Minecraft YouTuber earlier today. They were talking about this painting and referred to it as "the Pinocchio one." Put some respect on King Graham's name!

The Minecraft painting that shows a sprite of King Graham used in King's Quest 1 and 2.

Ah yes Matrox too, and I remember having a Gravis joystick. Definitely not what it once was.
