@lporiginalg I think every answer can be right. A random selection function does not necessarily have to have an equal distribution.

@exQUIZitely I don't remember crates, using items as a platform or being able to knock over tables, but both were truly fantastic games.

Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds was developed by Looking Glass Technologies and published by Origin Systems in 1993. Gameplay is non-linear, letting you roam freely through huge, multi-level environments, solve puzzles, fight in real time, and interact with NPCs. For its time, it was highly innovative. It featured a fully explorable 3D world (no grid-snapping like older dungeon crawlers). The physics and object interactions were next level: you could pick up, drop, throw, stack, or combine almost anything. Want to build a staircase out of crates? Go for it. Pile junk to reach a high ledge? Sure thing. Knock over a table during a fight? It all worked. This level of interactivity was unheard of in 1993 - at least nothing close comes to mind. As an old-time Ultima fan, I was skeptical when I heard about an action RPG spin-off that diverged so much from the original concept. But boy, was I wrong; it was a blast!

@majuular Your voice somehow has a great synergy with eerie game music.

There's just no getting around it is there? It's time to talk about Ultima VIII: Pagan. LINK IN REPLIES

@MuseumCommodore Played this on PC back then. I remember missing out on every action because I was always at the wrong spot.

Think open-world games started with GTA? Think again — this 1991 Amiga gem had a living Sherwood Forest with 40+ NPCs running their own lives BEFORE most of us had heard of sandbox adventures! The Adventures of Robin Hood was released in September 1991 by Millennium Interactive for the Commodore Amiga, developed initially by Steve Grand with Amiga porting by Alan McCarthy. Funny enough this game was originally conceived as a Wild West game, it then changed to Robin Hood! Robin Hood was built on the custom "Gulliver" engine, which was later reused in Rome: Pathway to Power. The atmospheric music was composed by Richard Joseph. Do you remember Sherwood Forest, was alive in this game? The forest was filled with over 40 NPCs (Non-Player Character) like Maid Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, those merry men and others. All were driven by advanced Ai at the time with over 600 behavioral rules, living independent lives and more. True pioneer of emergent gameplay on the Amiga. Who else spent hours robbing the rich, feeding the poor, and watching seasons change in this underrated classic?

@Mrdecent000 At least two. I guess you cannot call it a hole if the whole back is missing.

How many holes are actually in this shirt?

@ForgeOfTheFae I somehow cannot edit my former comment. Just wanted to ask whether you have considered to add another frame with the doors open a tiny bit towards the outside? It might make little sense as anticipation at the start, but could probably work well while closing.

Just a door. Nothing more. Nothing less. We're working towards an important milestone. More on that soon.

@ForgeOfTheFae The brick texture and the stone floor is unbelievably beautiful.

@clemmygames I couldn't pick one best looking, but this game is way down on the list. The animation is nice, but the stills are not really visually appealing. The background has a higher contrast than the foreground sprites for example, this is one of the most basic mistakes one can make.

What's the best looking game you know of?

@PRBG_Aesthetics I still consider this the most beautiful isometric game of all time. The maps at least, the characters not so much.

@exquizitely We broke so many joysticks with my brother playing this.

Decathlon (Activision, 1983) by David Crane is one of those early 80s games that's burned forever into my memory, and only for the best of reasons. We always played this in a group, and one of game's strengths is that you can compare your success/failure so perfectly and directly due to the point system. Just one tenth of a second slower in the 100m dash, missing out on a few points. Just half a meter short in the javelin event, a few centimeters too low in the high jump... but you can still catch up un the final - and infamous - 1500 meter race at the 10th and final event. That's usually when we broke out in tears over laughter. You would either try to make the other player laugh and lose their rhythm, or you would tease them otherwise. You would break out in sweats over torturing that joystick (left, right, left, right... for almost 4 minutes straight!) and you could see your athlete either charge ahead or fall behind, making for some of the best moments in gaming. And of course, the occasional but inevitable casualty when your joystick would say "no more" and just break. Over 40 years later and I still plug the Decathlon cartridge into my good old C64 when my friend from school comes to visit. I am sure we'll still play this 10, 20 and 30 years from now.

@Noise_dev Thank you! I guess they don't have anything spectacular or innovative that would make them popular. I am glad that the people who do play them seem to like them though.

@AdamTilinger Great job on Bylina and Kyen! I am realy surprised your games are not more known among gamers. They are both great mobile games

Concept for the first map in Bylina 2. I am considering to move away from tiled maps for a couple of areas. It allows to add so much more charater to the scene. This one is not so much original though, but heavily inspired by Stoneshard.

@hawkun I will have a pretty awesome birthday next year!

It's a date. store.steampowered.com/app/952100

@garagedoofus It is an awareness-check with a -10 modifier (3d6 vs highest awarness in the party). Giving the bear honey gives a +5 modifier, and having a druid in the party an additional +10.

@garagedoofus Sorry, I neglected twitter for a while now. I guess you got the answer on reddit, so I just wanted to tell you that you have an awesome party.

@JohnHen65953721 My father did it, I did it, I guess one of my sons will have to do it as well.

Great times when manuals had basic coding guides. Making the #C64 balloon from the manual tutorial was a right of passage. We all did it?!

This is how my 6-year-old son reacted to the scene where Darth Vader strikes down Obi-Wan: 'Look, he teleported! And now he’s running around naked somewhere!'

@rhayadercompute I remembered this game just yesterday after not thinking of if for thirty years. What a coincidence

Choplifer C64 did you ever finish it? #c64 #commodore

@TransientCode Am I deprived or are these really some seductive rock formations?

Name a character who technically isn't a villain but you consider to be one. I'll start:

@JunctionEight I am watching this for the tenth time, still waiting for something unexpected to happen.
