Hallowe'en post #18:
Happy 40th to the NES!
VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas has >8100 NES screenshot maps!
Early on, I made this Maniac Mansion map, getting the attention of MM creator Ron Gilbert, who reposted it on his Grumpy Gamer blog, around the time VGMaps blew up!

Hugo's House of Horrors (1990)

Anyone remember this one? I have fond memories of the Hugo trilogy. #retrogaming #dosgaming

Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun.
The fire cavern is home to wights and wraiths. These jerks have a chance to steal entire levels of experience with a lucky hit.

We finally found someone to trade with, but the townspeople went apeshit and trashed everything.

I would never have saved the galaxy in Squadrons if I hadn't already saved the galaxy in all the previous games. 👌

Superhero League of Hoboken (1994)

A classic! I've been meaning to give this one another shot as I've never actually completed it, but it's been a while since I last played it.

Big fan of the Legend Entertainment games. #Retrogames #DOSGaming

Started playing Arcana for the SNES today, another game I've never played before. Released in 1992, it's a grid-based dungeon crawler.

I like the art style and music. The game seems ok so far but I feel like the combat might quickly become tedious. #Nintendo #retrogaming

Started playing Companions of Xanth again. Released in 1993 by Legend Entertainment. I've always loved the LE games but didn't really play this one a lot then.

So far, I'm enjoying it, playing on Steam Deck via DOSBOX. Tell me what you think of it! #Retrogaming #DOSGaming

Classic
PCs were rare in 90s Russia—I didn’t own one until 2002. Before that, it was all Sega Genesis and NES. The only PC I had access to was at my cousin’s, an hour away. I barely played UFO: Enemy Unknown myself, but watching them play stuck with me. It felt like the father of Fallout. #RetroGaming #XCOM

I've always loved how Monkey Island looks like in EGA. It's my favorite version. #retrogaming
Guybrush sees Monkey Island for the first time in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland. The top image depicts the EGA's 16-colour palette, while the bottom showcases the VGA's 256-colour palette.
