TAR pt. 9: Hero to billions
Filed Under Competitions, Flash, Free, Funny, Indie, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment
Aside from being a little under the weather this weekend, due to my internet provider being so fantastically naff I actually had to type this post up twice. Pfeh. But you don’t want to know about any of that – let’s get on with the lushness of today’s four Assemblees, three of [...]

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 [...]

As I said yesterday, there are a few 7DRL entrants that I would have liked to try but, for one reason or another, couldn’t. This was usually because the games were downloadable only as source code, and to be honest I’m too lazy to try and compile them for myself They are just [...]

Filed Under Free, Linux, PC | Leave a Comment
Another day brings another part to this week’s 7DRL summary! Here are a few more @-filled delights for you to take a look at…
Jacob’s Matrix [link, pictured left] – possibly the best 7DRL entrant yet and my pick o’ the day. Can you find your way out of an Escher-like series of twisty passages before [...]

Time to look at a few more of the gems from this year’s 7-day Roguelike event… what’s in store today, I wonder?
Fruits of the Forest [link, pictured left] – help feed your fellow villagers by foraging for food, but look out for bandits…
TetRLs [link, pictured middle] – this is what happens when you mix Tetris [...]

2009’s 7DRL week, part 1
Filed Under Free, Linux, PC | 4 Comments
They’re not everyone’s cup of Earl Grey, but Roguelikes are still a defining part of text-based gaming. Lately, master and apprentice Roguelike developers alike have rolled up their sleeves, focused the volatile energies of the RNG and coded like there’s no tomorrow for a whole seven days – at the end, some of them even [...]

Potential: Detonate!
Filed Under Amiga, C64, Flash, Indie, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment
This is a game that I’d really love to see completed. Detonate! is a side project of Terry Cavanagh whose games you may recognise under the banner of Distractionware – he’s also the dab hand responsible for recent flash hit Don’t Look Back [link], which I still haven’t gotten around to playing… but I digress.

Hot stuff from February
Filed Under Free, Indie, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro, Shareware, Xbox | Leave a Comment
Now that my keyboard is smoking slightly less profusely, it’s time for a quick recap of stuff I missed out on posting about during the fine, if short, month of February. There was a whole lot of cool stuff to mention and these are some of the juicier items – thanks as usual to the [...]

Retro Roundup: Blast Passage
Filed Under Competitions, Free, Indie, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment
It doesn’t take much to convince me that mixing things together is good. After all, I know this from experience: mixing toast and marmite together, for example, gives possibly the tastiest snack in the entire history of the world. Ever. Delicious foodstuffs weren’t on Markus Persson’s mind, however. Instead, he thought what a tremendous laugh [...]

Retro Roundup: Mini-Saboteur
Filed Under Competitions, Free, Linux, Mac, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment
Hmm. Despite a lot of people saying that Saboteur! and its sequel were brilliant games for their time, they kinda passed me by. Playing Mini-Saboteur gave me a chance to see what I missed… or not, as the case may be
FatSeagal has become quite well known for his miniaturised remakes and he’s executed [...]
