Emmy, Fool of Fen by emmfoolery A short, silly, swampy adventure for MS-DOS.

I made a shorter game (for DOS) with worse graphics (CGA) and I'm NOT KIDDING.

It's free, it's silly, and you can download it here!

(Est. 20-30 minutes for a first playthrough.)

Live after a two week break! My brain is perfectly spherical! I must refurrow it with Land of UM and a mystery DOSember project!

There will be a stream soon, trying to figure out why my config has rotted

No streams for the next couple of weeks, I have real world commitments

I have a feeling I know the answer, but does this address the monkey situation in any way

This has been a good reminder to rewatch Micallef Tonight (pictured) and Newstopia

ScummVM fixing stream! Last time we got caught in the weeds of a big refactor, but this week we can hopefully spend some quality time with Mean City and that misanthrope penguin.

It's late and I have deadlines, let's play more Australian edutainment to skive off.

An Australian edutainment game, which I had fond memories of growing up, was apparently dumped very recently. Can I finish it in one sitting? Maybe! Also: writing a disassembler for the SCUMM engine to help with [redacted]!

Yep, the only file that is changed is the EXE file so you can do just that

ScummVM fixing stream! Her Interactive released a 5-CD FMV dating sim which uses Director, so that's what we're looking at today!

There's a similar technique you can do for the Adlib card, which involves making a channel output a sine wave, manually timing when the wave hits a peak, modding something so the card freezes the channel output, then using the channel volume control as a makeshift DAC.

I recreated this technique for my DOS adventure game engine. Normally the PC speaker is driven by a square wave generator running at a fixed frequency. RealSound makes the CPU send a single-shot impulse 16000 times a second, producing gritty 6-bit sample playback.

The whole point of digital preservation is capturing the humanness of its context e.g. maker, the experience and its impact. That is what future generations will care about. Once you bring AI into the mix you might as well delete it and spit in my eye.

Congrats!!

Also Australia is still feeling the impact of him strengthening ties with the US. The much-vaunted Free Trade Agreement is an example of this; we can no longer set local quotas for Australian music/film/TV on platforms operated by US companies, resulting in further atrophy of our media sector.

In terms of pure longevity, it's hard to look past his racist policies towards refugees, peaking with his handling of the Tampa affair and establishing offshore concentration camps. The rot has successfully hollowed out both major parties, and other Western governments are copying our cruelty.

Monday night stream. I've finished making my DOS adventure game. What's next? It involves a noisemaking toy, and I have maybe a 20% idea of what I'm doing

Thanks for the plug! It's exciting to see all these new people playing my silly space game

A big thank you to Davide Depau - who saw that Toshiba/Dynabook had a collection of laptop drivers dating back to the 1990s, and had the instinct of "I need to archive all of this right now before it rots". For that day has indeed come, and his mirror saved my bacon.

Reef: Did this article really need that creepy AI image at the top? admin: You're welcome to draw something better 😉 Reef: I bet you have a different opinion about using AI when it comes to localization. admin: Not really. I'd describe myself as a centrist.

This exchange in the comments was really something

After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now!

I can say the names don't have particular significance apart from sounding good
