Was this a game worth playing?

I don't know where you find these...never heard of this one! Until today that is.

Chess is a lovely game. I know the moves but none of the strategies.

Bacon, cheese and applesyrup is the only pancake I eat! Love it.

Beautiful. Why am I thinking you had moved to France?

No I take that back...there's 2 "seats" and 6 "on screen participants". So maybe we can do it.

Ahh never mind. The free plan is for two people only.

@pacbilly.bsky.social @logrus.uk I will need your email addresses to create a StreamYard stream. You will be members and you can somehow share your streams?? We may have to test this out.

02.12.2025 21:56 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

No, hold on it was StreamYard. I think one of us creates a live stream and adds members to it.

I can do tomorrow. Not thursday. I'm thinking restream, but that's the only one I know about.

02.12.2025 21:45 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I could do tomorrow evening, or possibly friday evening. Otherwise somewhere next week (not thursday).

Covert Bitops C64 page

By the way, the previous Metal Warrior games are all available for free to download from the covert bitops website: cadaver.github.io

what? what? look at metal warrior ultra please. It's so good I even have the cartridge.

Interesting! Like Metal Warrior, but much much earlier. Fantastic.

ok, played it. It looks very good and the movement's smooth. I just didn't get very far. Again, a game I'd never heard of before today. Thanks.

I was born in November and I always love this time of year. The light is beautiful and the colours are stunning.
Never heard this song though...

I remember my expectations of this game being very high because I loved the movie. But the game never lived up to it.

Soft Scrolling In C64 Text Mode
YouTube video by The Highlander71 Soft Scrolling In C64 Text Mode

Soft scrolling in text mode is always such a mystery so I am attempting with this video to explain the ins and outs. It's a work in progress, so I'll come back to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-YZ...

It's too late now. The magic of seeing that Dino eat a branch off the tree was impressive when it was new. Not so much now.
Alien is from 1979(!). I love to (re)watch it, but let's face it: it's old now. But if you want to see Sigourney Weaver in the smallest unrevealing underware possible, watch.

Looks like it! Just like parallax...needs a read of the manual

Here's yet anothert title that escaped my attention. It reminds me of Barnsley Badger.

I just looked up a Rob Plays video on youtube of 8 years(!) ago. I found my own comment saying that I'd never played the game....eight years....

Honest admission: never played this. But it looks really good. Reminds me of Space Rogue a little. With the mixed flying and on-foot stuff. Nice.
But: "Your a real man now"? Come on..
