How about a Game and Watch style game, but something completely new?

Like, there was Donkey Kong, Jr, 3, Mario, Super Mario, Zelda...

What if there had been a Metroid or Kirby Game and Watch? What would it have been like? Obviously, can't use that N branding, but just to brainstorm an idea.

Got some work done today on my next game for the e-reader

(super early stuff)

I just got off an elevator with five guys dressed as wizards and I'm in jeans and a t-shirt. One guy says "I feel weird being the only one here without a hat."

When I worked fast-food, this was my go-to drink - it was somewhat close to Cherry Coke. 🤣

Not Pokémon Go, but the meme still applies.

Thanks.

Wow. Kinda surprised it was as late as '87!

This is tricky because AI was already such an overused meaningless buzzword by the early '80s that some journalists were already complaining. But it was probably Rainbird's TRACKER (1987), which claimed that the enemy AI adjusted to your strategy, but they're confusingly also AI in the game's story.

Hey, @katewillaert.bsky.social - what's the earliest video game where the developer/publisher called the computer-controlled opponent(s) "AI"?

It literally was. I tried to search for some examples and just got bogged down in current AI Slop, but...

Here's a review from 1998 of NHL '99 for the N64 praising the game's AI.

A Game Boy Advance with an E-Reader plugged into it. The game Bomb Hunter is being played and a smily face was drawn into the playing field using flags.

Bomb Hunter is also a drawing app

Yeah, I woke up to that notification this morning. Quite annoying, but, to be honest, I was surprised it lasted that long. r/Nintendo mods have a reputation. 🤣

Yay! My order is shipping! Whoo!

Why does everyone in Walmart commercials look happy?

I'm still hard at work on my e-reader game, with hopes to release it by the end of this year! Lately the focus has been the web-based emulator. I want to make sure people without an e-reader still get a really fun experience

I was also a 9:01 order! We're twinzies!

I did two of each, but only one uncut sheet. I don't know what I'm going to do with my one... but they look so cool!

For what it's worth, international shipping is just killer anywhere right now. I shipped a small package to Brazil for about $85, three months later, it came back, rejected by customs, paid another $55 to reship it, then the guy receiving it got hit with $50 in import fees. :/

I may not make it on the Exo Attack leader board, but maybe I'm on the ordering leaderboard? 🤣
