It looks like "Abacus (...)" was a pretty popular company name back then, ha.

Very, very slowly getting there! I can't wait to be able to look at a screen for longer than fifteen minutes without getting a horrendous headache again, ha.

I'm having to take a break from making games and general online activity for a while due to health issues flaring up.

It's definitely not a fun time and I'm not exactly overjoyed about having to put a whole lot of things on hold, but I'm hoping to get through this soon!

I can relate to that a lot... If you have any recommendations, do let me know!

Thank you for reminding me that I've still got to play Forward To The Past! I love the little green guy.

Have you got plans for future games?

That antique store looks great! Makes me really wish there were more in my area.

I humbly submit a minor Snorkification (as per his call to action) to @whathosnorkers.bsky.social that I *think* improves the scrolling of the landscape. All within BASIC

Reading the book or watching the film definitely helps with playing the game and painting a more detailed picture in your mind as to what exactly is going on if you're not quite familiar with the story. I recommend them both!

I'm quietly hoping for a Llamasoft-related cover, perhaps Tempest 2000...

Definitely the homebrew section, as well as Music Memories!

The first part of Neon Warden, my text adventure/interactive fiction game involving arcade machines and the possibility of interdimensional travel.

I visited Arcade Club in Bury a good few years' back, and it was my best arcade experience, next to Pinball Station (Warsaw, Poland), so far. I have to agree with the fixed-price entry definitely taking the pressure off. And the huge selection of games is wonderful, I am sure it's even better now!
