I recently discovered an odd first-person maze game called “Lair of Squid” built into my HP 200LX palmtop PC, released in 1994
Then I found the author. Here’s the story of how this quirky Doom-inspired title came to be: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/07/how-i-found-a-forgotten-squid-based-ode-to-doom-on-a-1994-palmtop-pc/
@benjedwards Andy mentioned Everett Kaser - I've heard of that guy before! One of DOS shareware's somewhat more prevalent names, still in business to this day selling updated versions of his logic puzzle games. That's a really cool connection.
@wildweasel yeah, and his Hearts and Bones game on the 200LX is excellent
Computer Fairies is a Mastodon instance that aims to be as queer, friendly and furry as possible. We welcome all kinds of computer fairies!
