@dosnostalgic That nighttime interior lighting. Enough said. 😎

Your reminder that you could be playing any old Microsoft Flight Simulator for DOS *right now* instead of waiting to log into MSFS2024. 🤷‍♂️

@dosnostalgic I am absolutely here for it.

I gotta say, not even so long ago I couldn't imagine that someday we're gonna get nearly THREE hour long videos on something like BloodNet. And yet, this world is here now. youtu.be/3KA1lz_b-rw?si…

@AmazingPopPod Compliance!

Who remembers this movie? Thoughts?

@AmazingPopPod Moneyball

What’s your favorite Jonah Hill movie?

@AmazingPopPod There goes Roy Hobbs. The best there ever was in this game.

What’s the first thing you think of when you see this dude?

@umbshow @ErnstKrogtoft (2/2) and having grown up on -early- MP simulations in the 8-bit world, I was thrilled to see them try something new. Those two titles a bit through rose colored glasses for me - even though they do have their flaws.

@umbshow @ErnstKrogtoft Of all of the MP/MPS labs games of this vintage, Bloodnet might be the most fascinating one to me, personally. I guess it’s considered more of an RPG? Which makes sense. I played that and Return of the Phantom pretty close together…(1/2)

@CGOApps @ErnstKrogtoft I have weird memories of Rex Nebular for sure! Not a good game at all but there was other motivations for me at the time :)

I’ve always wondered about the adventure games out of early ‘90s era MicroProse. Turns out, @ErnstKrogtoft did an excellent blog entry on just that. retro365.blog/2023/09/25/cla…

@dosnostalgic Launch it into the Sun.

I fucking hate this meme or whatever the fuck it's called

@ben_304 I’m partial to the one in the upper right, and if you don’t believe me, there’s a @umbshow episode to prove it! 🙃. Some true gems in there, though!

Many other interesting looking games in this box, I'm looking forward to trying them all out.

I completed Brian Moriarty's Infocom adventure Wishbringer. What a great game; lots of fun things to discover, plenty of options for solving puzzles, and a lovely world to explore. Here's my full page of notes that I made while working out how to beat it!

@IQ_Adventures Cheers, Steve!

Monday Morning dialysis. Say hey if you’re so inclined!

@AmazingPopPod BAT 21.

In your opinion what’s the best Gene Hackman movie?

@Lord_Arse Tagging @TimOfLegend, hope he doesn’t mind. 🙃

@Lord_Arse Huge congrats, looks *incredible!*

Finally got the two last games that I need to finish my Atari 2600 "color" collection. It's taken years to get here so over the moon!

@ATRightMovies Raising Arizona👎

What is a movie that you despise (or don't love) but everyone else seems to love?

@Vokabre Great question. Assuming you’re going out an overwing exit, on the wing where you and other pax aren’t going to step works great. Get rid of it so it doesn’t impede your movement. Adrenaline is probably sky high at that point, so give it a good heave if need be!

This reminds me, I often think what is the correct way to dispose of the door after opening it in an actual emergency, throw it outside, but in which way? It for sure should not remain inside to hamper the egress.

@dosnostalgic Sorry you’re going through it all, hoping for brighter days ahead, sir.

@dosnostalgic I put the VGA Members Only jacket on a few days ago for Bananoid, 688 Attack Sub and Wolfpack 😎 Had some sound issues in DOSBox with the latter. I had -no- idea Wolfpack was a Novalogic game, had a CD-ROM re-release in ‘94, or how much CGW hated it when it came out.

Friends, I'm having a terrible time right now. What could help is you telling me about your recent DOS gaming encounters and/or showing me a photo of your cat!

@ChiSoxFanMike Good vibes, Mike! Going to crush it 😎

Have an interview this morning with one of the best companies in my area. I want this so bad. Please send good vibes.

@solomonmissouri Strong agree! They are such different movies, more so than many of the other celebrated original/sequel pairs. But they’re both magnificent.

This reminds me the first two alien movies are some of the greatest cinema I’ve ever seen
