On December 31, 2017September 8, 2018 By fgasking

We have one last surprise update for 2017, including a preview of an extremely promising game which could still hopefully be finished and taken out of GTW64. The coder still open to help and suggestions for continuing – can you help? Also, an unknown and very early shooter preview by […]

Skyrim Day 079 – A Timeless Prison of Souls (Part 2)

On December 30, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

7 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Winterhold Relaxed all day and did nothing of note…two things which I cannot recall the previous utterance of, at least together. Hidden behind the fireplace was a large laboratory with a raised section against one side overlooking a terraced circular depression in the floor. Candles had […]

25th December 2017 First of all, Merry Christmas (Happy Birthday to me ;o)) and a Happy New Year. This will be my final Blog for 2017, and I have decided to talk about the production of my LATEST game release Starfysh. This is basically a horizontal scrolling shoot ’em up – […]

Grandad and the Quest for the Holey Vest – Atari ST – 1992

On December 23, 2017September 4, 2018 By Wingnut

Grandad and the Quest for the Holey Vest is a graphical adventure game release exclusively for the Atari ST in 1992. I thought this quite unusual as by this time the Commodore Amiga was the more popular home computer, but as it’s shareware instead of a commercial release I guess […]

King Tut’s Tomb: Complete Victory!

On December 6, 2017September 4, 2018 By Nathan P. Mahney

OCD strikes again! As you can see from the image above, I managed to get the full score of 207 points in King Tut’s Tomb. I owe it all to Adamant, who has been doing a wonderful job of dissecting the code of this game in the comments section of […]

Game 21: King Tut’s Tomb (1978): Victory.

On December 3, 2017September 9, 2018 By Nathan P. Mahney

Apologies for the lengthy delay, but Ultima VII is real good, you guys. So good that when I finished it I launched immediately into Ultima Underworld II, and Serpent Isle following that. What can I say, I got that Ultima bug, and it caused me to neglect whichever of the […]

Dungeons & Dragons: Order of the Griffon – NEC TurboGrafx-16 – 1992

On November 30, 2017September 4, 2018 By Wingnut

Nice box art. Shame about the hairstyles. Order of the Griffon is the second RPG I have played on the TurboGrafx-16 after the highly enjoyable Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes. This game was published by SSI and developed by Westwood Associates who were also responsible for the Eye of […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : LUA Waypoints

On November 24, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

Today’s Lua repository is covering a relatively simple, but infinitely useful waypoint method. You have to manually path your strike missions and this can lead to some comedy when you forget a plane and it flies over some MANPAD’s. Or maybe you want the OPFOR to act sneaky and fly […]

Skyrim Day 079 – A Timeless Prison of Souls (Part 1)

On November 21, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

6 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Winterhold Serana and I left Winterhold’s inn early enough, I hoped, to reach Solitude by mid-afternoon. Early though it was we exited the Inn to the sounds of running feet and Nordic swearing. Another vampire attack, this one with the benefit of the giant undead hounds […]

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride – Nintendo SNES – 1992

On November 16, 2017September 9, 2018 By Wingnut

While gamers in North America were still playing Dragon Warrior III, and a month before Dragon Warrior IV was released there, those lucky Japanese gamers were already getting their teeth into Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. Poor sales of the previous games and the cost of localisation […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Custom Overlays & Campaign Overlays

On October 29, 2017 By Casey

Out of the box CMANO uses a map set known as SRTM 30 Plus. This is an open repository from the USGS with tiled data from across the globe. It’s great for CMANO on a macro scale, but what if we want to get right in and see individual target […]
