  1. While I was looking up the #spindizzy and the space faring cities, the stupid #GoogleAI was willing to agree that these were written by Robert Heinlein and invented a whole new story about them.

    At least Heinlein's book exists:
    Have Space Suit—Will Travel
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_Spa

  2. @nivrig #Spindizzy !! in all its mid-1980s C64 color palette glory - pastel all over the place!! 🤩

    I hated this game as a kid, but these days I enjoy spinning through the levels. Still not very talented, but at least I come around.

  3. Some folks claim that the NES version of Marble Madness is the best home port. I can't possibly comment on that, as my remit is purely the 8-bit micros.

    And on those, I can safely say that the #C64 wins. It is the only port that actually attempts to convert the coin-op. It's not bad either. Not great, not terrible.

    The #Spectrum and #Amstrad, on the other hand, got something else. Something slow, painful and annoying. With a construction kit...

    Play #Spindizzy instead.
