The Planet Golf title screen on the C64. It says Planet Golf, but the "O" is a planet and it has an elipse showing it's trajectory. Nice.

The modern #C64 scene is buzzing with activity for many different reasons
(@commodoreofficial.bsky.social) and I've just looked and PG is almost 10 years old ALREADY! Whaaaaaa..?!?!? That aside, PG is a phenomenal game and a demonstration of passion & dedication. Check it.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #ADayInTheLife . Get #SirCliveSinclair out of his house and onto the train. A tricky game that's full of nasty things that will kill you immediately, but learn their patterns, and you can get to the other screens...eventually!

31st December, 1989 ( New Year's Eve ) and I was finalising the CES demo of NES Silver Surfer. It was an early build of the game featuring only 6 playable levels. This document describes a cheat-mode you can activate to make the Silver Surfer invincible! This was removed in the final release.

The ad shows off two screenshots (one of which shows the menacing helmed visage of Lord Soth) beneath the charging hooves that dominate the upper half of the ad. The text at the top proclaims "DEATH KNIGHTS OF KRYNN, The incredible sequel to Champions of Krynn!" and below that, states "Lord Soth has thrown down the gauntlet of challenge!" in an all new adventure where a new threat casts a shadow over the temporary peace won in the last game (Champions of Krynn).
A 1991 ad for Death Knights of Krynn, an RPG for PCs by SSI based on TSR's AD&D and the second chapter in a series set in the TTRPG world of Dragonlance
The fierce, nighmarish backdrop depicting a charge of undead knights is from a piece called "Lord Soth's Charge" by artist, Keith Parkinson.
