Yes please make an approximation of some forgotten game of the Amiga 500 for people like me who fuss about accuracy, rom revisions and archival.

Unless whoever wrote this (is it even a human anyway?) thought AI works like a database, which seems bad for a tech site (Tom's Hardware)

Myrient and AI

The AI industry frenzy undoubtedly contributed to the original Myrient archive’s soaring costs, ahead of its closure announcement. Perhaps ironically, if Myrient hadn’t been saved, retro fans may have looked to AI to generate copies of their favorite apps and games of yesteryear?

I'm not as sanguine as some people here about AI but that's the most stupid thing I've read this week

Did you try the Revelations games? The first one is very poverty and some gimmicks are annoying but overall I was impressed at how much they packed into those episodic spin-offs

I have yet to give 8 a chance after 7 didn't do much to me. I know they are a bit different but all I liked about the demo for 8 was the cool castle interior

Unfortunately for my sanity, I'm a sucker for the "go back to town after you progressed an inch further in the dungeon" game loop

Pretty excited about this one too because the synopsis is 100% in my strike zone

Had the same impressions. Story-wise they kind of just filled things up toward the end because the books were not over yet. There's a later series that redoes it from the half point but it also introduces book exclusive characters in media res, and the animation never touches that first OVA episode

I deleted that post but the other day I was saying it's very obvious 連射王 is based on Toaplan shmups and the unnamed fictional company fits Toaplan's history and... I mean, just look at this table of content. Some of those chapters are namedrops of their most iconic games

Gaming Alexandria is our load-bearing pillar for access to Japanese scans and hubz is the hardest-working guy I know in game preservation, so I'd really appreciate it if we didn't destroy him with a dogpile over his vibe coding project please. Show some empathy and grace if you disagree with it.

A correction: Success who did Dark Spire had a few Wizardry games released on phones prior to that

Robert Woodhead is headed into zero-gravity, and he’s bringing his camera. The Wizardry co-creator will climb aboard an aircraft and perform a series of deep dives creating 25 second windows of weightlessness, during which he’ll be using a high speed camera to photograph water floating in midair. “I’m doing some simple physics experiments in zero gravity,” says the quiet voice on the other end of the phone, “hoping to make a science film for elementary school classrooms.”

Excursions into the upper atmosphere are just the latest in a series of post-programming pursuits. Woodhead has kept very busy in the years since he helped mold the face of personal computing and video game design. “Apart from being a stay-at-home ‘mom’ and running a Japanese film business, I keep up with a lot of little things.” That Japanese film business is Animeigo, a family-run media import company. A few years ago he was building battle robots with his children. Before that he was living in Japan creating the prototype for what could have become the first modern MMORPG. And although he doesn’t create gaming software anymore, he still plays games, especially EVE Online. “It’s by far the most socially deep game out there,” says Woodhead. “I serve on the Eve Council of Stellar Management, and fly to Iceland every now and then to yell at the developers.”

Qu'y a-t-il au delà de l'existence terrestre ?

Pour ce #RandomGameSaturday, c'est Stella Deus - The Gate for Eternity, un Tactical RPG sorti en 2004 sur PS2.

Un jeu qui parlera aux fans de Persona puisque le chara design est de Shigenori Soejima.

Dragon Wars (1989) | RPG | PC platforms | Interplay

What began as the Bard's Tale IV became a fantasy adventure with dragons as weapons of mass destruction when the name had to be changed. It had a variety of ports such as on the Amiga where Kurt Heiden's score made great use of its hardware!

StarFire has something of a neat history.

StarCraft was a Japanese studio responsible for porting a number of computer games to the PC-98 such as New World Computing's Might & Magic Xeen series. Interestingly, the same engine used in Might & Magic III was also used for StarFire.

Well I set my mind on finally starting Horizon for real this year (I'll take breaks between arcs to read English novels) so by the time I'm done with this maybe it will be a clearer situation

Since your post got spoilers I went to the rest of your blog instead and:

- cool review of Fangaku vol1, I'm excited about this one (also if you want to go back to Owakuro he's currently rewriting it on Kakuyomu, it might make it easier for you to stick to it)
