The art style and animations are amazing.
The game play is, well....
If you like very on rail shooters then you will enjoy it.
But if you don't then this will not convert you.

Some licensed some not, and one that even got sued.
And guess which we are looking at in this video.

Ahh the amazing names for nail polish!
And yeah, I've seen some great looking colours in the bottles not transfer well to the nails.
But that looks great.

One of the best green colours I've seen and very shiny!

The twinfami is a great machine but those tiny cables!
I ended up modding a nes extension into the player 1 connector on the motherboard so I could use regular new controllers with it.

Love the game and the music, Dune the Spice Opera is superb!
Plus it has the greatest line in any game.

The Amiga had amazing original games, some got interesting ports to the PC Platform.
And I decided it could be fun to check them out to see how good they were.

Public Domain Magazine, the bible of free software for Amiga, ST and PC has never been scanned. Until now!

We look at its complex coverdisk, how you got free software when the internet was only 3 months old and what connects this show and the magazine within a magazine.

Sounds like something up my street, and square and city!

It's not as stable as I'd like, I think something might be messing with the thread.
Or my code isn't quite fast enough.
But super happy with how it's turned out.

And this weekend I finally managed to decode the data and then have the esp32 host a webpage that displays this image.

I've connected the GBA's LCD ribbon connector to the esp32, via a breakout board.

Been continuing with my crazy GBA Esp32 experiment.
And made huge progress this weekend.

My current video using an esp32 might have bombed hard, but that doesn't mean I won't continue trying to do crazy things with them.

Those sound like interesting ways of doing it!

GouldFish On Games @gouldfishongames.com · 29d

Thanks mate, one of those silly ideas that actually worked for once 😁

Recently I made my own controller, using the GBA as the base.
and this is how I did it!

I had a feeling you'd spot the repeats and the flips.

The pie one is iconic for at least being a bit weird and odd.

Of all the ways to advertise Quake, I'm not sure this would have jumped into head as an option.

It's perfectly understandable.
Social media can be a real horrid place. Hopefully you can find a nice balance!

Had so much fun messing around with the free version they gave away with PC Format back in the day.

Ahh yes the error message that could mean the disk is dirty.
Up to, you have to take it apart and re-align the motor!
