@waylonjest @NightdiveStudio Absolutely. It would be a major milestone for Nightdive if you managed to build a version of this for modern machines as it's nigh unplayable at present - almost on a par with the original System Shock. Invisible War would be good too to remaster once you'd done the original.

@NightdiveStudio Deus Ex should be a priority

What should we remaster next? 🤔 "We started by asking Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman what their remaining bucket list projects were. A few answers were shared, but one that stood out was Eternal Darkness, which is high up on Kick’s list." shacknews.com/article/145513…

@VicHarkness I like it. No mess, no waste..just pure avian and text. :D

Graphics design is my passion

@OldSkoolCoder @retrogamedev Interesting choice of hardware to develop for... 🤔

Looks like I'm gunna be coding the #NES next :) @retrogamedev #6502

@VicHarkness You should start a library section, assuming that this isn't some kind of AI fake...

@OldSkoolCoder Well done! :D

Well the proofs are in, one step closer to been published :)

@VicHarkness Bit of an overlap for you - rude places thread... x.com/JamesMelville/…

@VicHarkness Be careful, word on the street is that Belarus might kick off soonish. It would be a stupid thing to do, but Putrid is clearly desperate.

Explosions in the distance (so far)

@gleet_tweet The Hunger Games is a knock-off of Battle Royale which is a much more extreme example of using entertainment for social control. It's a lesson in teaching children that if you're not going to play the game, they'll give you another to play where there is only one survivor.

@gleet_tweet Happened to me dozens of times. And not only bananas - mushed pears are also a favourite for marinating notebooks in the bottom of a backpack..

@ObiwanC64 I'd love to do Tau Ceti one of these days, and then port it to the TI-99/4a because I'm a glutton for punishment...! ;)

I went into disassembling "BANDITS" on c64 and it really Takes a lot of time. I'm far from being done, but it's the most enjoyable detective activity.

@ObiwanC64 @0xC0DE6502 I learned a fair bit from the Gridrunner and Myriad examples that he did :)

@0xC0DE6502 Oldskoolcoder did it on YouTube and also went into the process of rewriting/ re-structuring the code. A good candidate game would include one or many packers so that you would cover this critical step to get the real final code.

How would you go about making a video about disassembling a game? Wouldn't it be long and boring af!?

@CompulsionGames Needs a sequel, where Arthur, Sally and Ollie meet up with other characters from first game to find Percy in Cold War Berlin in some exciting espionage tale. Might involve smuggling out a certain brother over a certain concrete wall as part of an co-operative escape committee.

@holtby_linda Cool, so you're just another /dev/null then? I could send you all my Very Important Stuff. Like program logs and invites to review papers. I quite liked the Radio Active Complaints Department as all listeners complaints were it was sent to their "Head of Carpets" to deal with...

My 'out of office' until 2nd January (or maybe even 8th January): "Please scream into the void. Your scream is important to us. The void will get back to you when available."

@MEGA65Retro We should also invent some industry figure in a suit to spout absolute nonsense about how good the games are and generate a load of adverts telling kids that if they turn in people who copy things, they could get £1000! youtube.com/watch?v=zFd60n…

MEGA65 community suggests: "To maximise everybody's nostalgic fun, when we have a physical release of a game, we should include copy protection so that the crackers can have fun too."

@JudgeDrokk @SithWimV I've never known @llamasoft_ox to be called Page 34 before now, but it's current year and whom am I to disagree with the mainstream press? 🤔

@SithWimV The man, the legend…

Jeff Minter meets AI.

@drsilviapa Last time I was down the Science Museum, they had the earliest CT scanner used for clinical use. Looks like a washing machine with an inbuilt chair for brainwashing...! ;) collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1347…

I love seeing new technology being born. What seems normal today was the product of amazing ingenuity at times when the instrumentation available was basic compared to what we have now (Bookmarking this to show my students next semester!)

@EvoluteGames Done and done. Looking forward to playing it when it hits early access release - has a real "bedroom coder" vibe to it. Great to see you're getting stuff out there again after a long break off-line! :D

For anyone interested in the game I'm making with my son Shaun and following the progress. Please follow twitter.com/SmegginRocks. Will post updates there as we approach something resembling an early access release

@eevblog @Patreon Looks like someone is a fan of Trumpton myself and ripped the concept from their title cards.

For those that don't understand the new @Patreon logo, here is the simple explanation: Within the emblematic tableau designed for Patreon, a sophisticated symbology is carefully encoded, embodying a strategic articulation of visual language with the intention of conveying nuanced messages pertaining to the brand’s essence and ethos. The logo under contemplation unfurls itself as a black, formless, somewhat organic, P-shaped blob, silently residing against the pristine expanse of a white background. Let's delineate the semiotic ramifications of this design. The 'blob', with its undefined, flowing contours, subtly alludes to the fluidic, ever-morphing landscape of creativity, a realm where form and structure yield to the overpowering might of imagination and inspiration. This non-rigid form, amorphous and flexible, inherently symbolizes the boundless spectrum of artistic expressions and genres that find a nurturing home within the Patreon platform. The selected hue for this blob, a deep and impenetrable black, further amplifies the narrative by adding layers of complexity and depth. Black, traditionally associated with mystery, elegance, and sophistication, simultaneously encapsulates the enigmatic allure of the creative process while subtly nodding to the gravity and seriousness of the patronage act. It is a color that absorbs and amalgamates all within its fold, symbolically representing the confluence of diverse creative energies and the synthesis of myriad artistic endeavors that the platform facilitates and champions. Juxtaposed against this dark silhouette is the canvas — a blank, unblemished white space. White serves not merely as a passive, neutral background but actively engages with the visual elements, forging a dynamic that speaks volumes. It stands as a symbol of potential, openness, and infinite possibility, mirroring the blank canvas that every creator is presented with and the empty stage that awaits the dance of creation. It also represents clarity, simplicity, and transparency, reflecting Patreon’s commitment to creating an environment that is user-friendly, accessible, and straightforward. Within this spatial dialectic between black and white, the logo thus engenders a visual harmony that reflects the symbiotic relationship between creators and patrons. The letter 'P', while overtly signifying 'Patreon', also quietly whispers of 'Partnership', 'Possibility', and 'Promise', encapsulating the brand’s commitment to fostering collaborative partnerships, unlocking possibilities for creators, and delivering on the promise of supporting and nurturing the arts. This logo, in its deceptive simplicity, hence becomes a multifaceted symbol, a visual haiku that encapsulates and mirrors the complex, intricate web of relationships, values, and commitments that form the bedrock of Patreon's identity and mission. Each component, carefully selected and meticulously positioned, contributes to crafting a narrative that is as compelling and complex as it is simple and accessible.

@UridiumAuthor Planning the ships in Morpheus was incredibly clever, in that you built ships big enough to have shields, power and weapons whilst ensuring your systems were up-to-date and not obsolete against the evolving Morphai who would become tougher and more effective in stopping you :)

And I still get a roasting on a podcast for putting in systems that makes players think about upgrades and plan their game future, which is also a break from the action part. Thanks for spotting a connection. Indeed, today`s games are highly complex and built by teams. Beyond me!
