A new home for the underdogs
Filed Under Commercial, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro, Shareware | 1 Comment
Superb news! Possibly the best “ethical” abandonware site that ever was has been put back into action. A group of determined individuals seem to be working their socks off to reincarnate Home of the Underdogs after several years of stagnation! I wish them the best of luck… it’s not the smallest of [...]

Golden Oldie: Inner Space
Filed Under Indie, PC, Retro, Shareware | 2 Comments
Back in the days of Windows 3.11 there weren’t all that many decent games; most of the really cool and trendy stuff was still being made for DOS. One shareware game that bucked the trend, however, was Inner Space [link], released in 1994 by Software Dynamics. I would say it’s worth recognising as one of [...]

Today is a catch-up of something that caught my eye on Retro Remakes a few weeks ago. It’s Omega Race 2009 [link], a smooth remake of a game that ranks pretty highly on my list of all-time favourite arcade blasters. Who’s responsible? That’d be Søren Borgquist, better known in the remaking community as Sokurah.
In the spirit [...]

Zolyx is one!
Filed Under Zolyx | Leave a Comment
Happy birthday, this blog!
I’d offer you a slice of cake in celebration, but some crazy computer has it locked away out of convenient reach right now… however, I’m sure that the cake does exist, no matter what all you doubters out there may think.
To mark the occasion I’ve tarted up the blog banner [...]

Water way to go…
Filed Under Random | Leave a Comment
Unfortunately, the many constructive things I could have blogged about today seemed to fly out of my head as I actually sat down to write something. Instead, have this pointless YouTube video of some random Minecraft multiplayer action involving water, spirals and water. And spirals. Oh, did I mention it has watery spirals in it?…
…Yeah, [...]

Party like it’s 4096
Filed Under Random | Leave a Comment
This isn’t new by any means (gosh… is there anything I post here which actually is?!), but if you ever wondered exactly what it was possible to do in just 4 kilobytes’ worth of computer program, check this out:
I just can’t even begin to think how something like this is made. Clever stuff.

A walk in the Blueberry Garden
Filed Under Indie, PC, Shareware | Leave a Comment
Not much time for blogging tonight so I’ll have to be fairly brief.
Today I wanted to highlight the recent release of Erik Svedäng’s Blueberry Garden [link] on Steam. You can buy this year’s IGF Grand Prize winner for a piddly $5! Indie games really don’t come much cheaper than this, though [...]

Minecraft, three weeks later
Filed Under Zolyx | Leave a Comment
Humm. I really should be installing Wordpress 2.8 that was released today, but I honestly can’t be bothered til the weekend…
So, for at least some of the time I wasn’t blogging, I was instead building random stuff out of cubes in Minecraft [link]. It’s ridiculous. Why do I like this game so much? [...]

Poing peek #3
Filed Under Projects, Retro, Zolyx | Leave a Comment
Today’s post starts off by me saying “sorry”. Again. I wish I could break the habit, but hey, this place just wouldn’t be what it was if there weren’t the frequently incorrect release dates and hopelessly inaccurate promises!
We’re talking about the Poing! PC community level pack, of course. I won’t harp on about [...]

If you’re missing Mythos…
Filed Under Commercial, MMO, PC, Projects | Leave a Comment
E3 has come and gone, and I can’t say there was anything in it that really grabbed me by the throat. Well, apart from perhaps one thing…
First of all, if you didn’t get sucked up in the miniature hype tornado that appeared around Mythos before it sadly disappeared off the face of the internet, let [...]
