NES - Maniac Mansion Complete OST - YouTube Maniac Mansion (Complete Soundtrack) System: Nintendo Entertainment System Developer: Lucasfilm Games Publisher: Jaleco Entertainment Composer: David Warhol,...

The soundtrack to the NES version of Maniac Mansion (LucasFilm Games, 1987), which I found in a dusty corner of my YouTube channel. What David Warhol, Chris Grigg and David Lawrence wrote is really great fun to listen to. #classicgaming #nes #lucasfilmgames

This weekend was a veritable retrobΓΆrse-smorgasboard. First in Heusenstamm, then in Kelkheim. Both were quite okay. Nothing sensational, but a few quite cromulent gets. Also, itΒ΄s always fun to visit those with @dark1x.bsky.social, @pc98audi.bsky.social and @tomsx.bsky.social! So what did I get..?

The player character, a dark-blue bird named Claire, sits next to Bill the Walrus beside Meteor Lake as the two spend a moment to fish. They are surrounded by green and orange foliage, and the day seems calm and warm. Claire breaks the silence with a simple "so".

Claire is asked a question by a sunbathing frog: "you ever had a pancake before?"

Claire replies: "yeah", no capitalization or punctuation. I think Claire's chill, occasionally deadpan responses are pretty humorous.

Just played through A Short Hike.
I love this #indiegame and recommend it to everyone.

You have to experience its charms firsthand: little moments add up into an emergent story unique to your playthrough.

Work + life have me a bit burnt out lately. I really needed A Short Hike, and am glad for it.

20 years ago, Dragon Quest found its modern western identity: Dragon Quest VIII finally kept its original name, went with a wonderfully british dub, orchestral music and a beautifully reworked interface - an amazing adventure that set the tone for most that came after. Also: Yangus was awesome!!

Vor einiger Zeit durfte ich diesen Auftrag zeichnen: einen Nerd-Raben vor einem PiDP-10 und einer Fuchskind-Tasse! Vielen lieben Dank an Hanns-Martin uns Jali für diesen wirklich coolen Auftrag! 😊

How I squeezed the ATTRACT MODE of Super Sunny World (NES) into 10 lines of code!
_________________________

"Attract Mode" stems from the arcade. Looping gameplay would entice viewers to try the game. It helps avoid burn-in on CRT displays.

Later this would come to home consoles as well!

Ever wonder how graphics are made for the NES?

Here's how I get full screen graphics, like this, from my PC into my NES game, Super Sunny World🌞! I'll try to keep it high level, and avoid anything super technical.

Details below in thread! 🧡

Doing a first watch of #Suits right now, and I am delighted every time the recently deceased Malcom-Jamal Warner appears on screen. His role as Julius Rowe is, just like in The Resident, a very powerful one, and I think it's a great shame that we won't be seeing any more of it.

Your game is like a plant. It doesn’t need a flood once a month, it needs small, regular watering.

A little game dev time every week keeps it alive and growing.

Show up regularly.

I'm happy to reveal that WARP ZONES will be in Super Sunny World 🌞 (my upcoming NES platformer).

They are hard to find, but easy to reach again once you know where they are (similar to Mario Bros). This should make the limited-lives style of gameplay more enjoyable.
