  4. I started personal computing with a TRS-80, then a TI-99/4A, to a Macintosh, then to a Commodore Amiga. Atari computers were always out of reach to me. The Atari ST almost got me, but Commodore's dealer network for the Amiga was better so that's the direction I went.

    This seems like a great way to scratch that Atari itch I've had since I was 9.

  7. For #throwbackThursday, here's a pic I just found on my hard drive that Sony released when the #PSP was announced. Can't wait for our future of carrying PSPs around our necks with a stylish lanyard!

  8. The funny thing about #CurseTheEyeOfIsis is that half of the enemies are not cursed people, but just random goons who got paid to harass the protagonists, and I'm pretty sure by the rate I am going, I'm killing way more people than the actual cursed mummies

  9. I made the G'Kar portrait for the heck of it, but I couldn't stop there. I'd love to make Kosh, Vir, Ivanova, Bester, and others too. We shall see!

  11. RE: mastodon.social/@gpowerf/11740

    The #Atari 800XL was my first computer. It still has a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, I sold mine later on to get the money together for a #C128.

    A couple years ago, I bought and fixed up a broken one. If I hadn't, this one would be tempting.

  14. Ultima Underworld’s very first print run came with a rune bag, and six britannian runes stamped into chunks of aluminum.

    a few months later, Origin stopped producing the rune bags to reduce printing costs, and then in a dirty move added a sticker that said “Special Promotional Release”, as if you were getting some kind of bonus inside. 😩

    for that reason, 9/10 copies of UW do not have the rune bag. you don’t need it to play the game, but it does lend some tactile joy to rifling through the box.

  15. A less-than-heroic Lord!

    The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce that Lord Avalot d'Argent, the quirky 1994 comedic adventure by Thorsoft of Letchworth, is ready for public testing!

    The year is 1179. When Baron Michel de Lustie is denied the princess's hand in marriage, he kidnaps her for a steep 50-pence ransom. With England’s finest knight conveniently away on vacation, the desperate king turns to you!
