Thanks to the sterling efforts of Aaron White, we're able to share something a little different today - rare and previously unpreserved #Amiga Public Domain disks, featuring music demos and PD catalogue files.

The 1998 freeware DOS classic "Liero" has been ported to the Nintendo 64:

over the years i've used different software licenses, even tweaked the wording in them to fit my needs. this is the current iteration of my license of choice https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lana-chan/microdrummo/refs/heads/main/LICENSE
A few years ago I wrote about all the Myst parodies I knew of and I think MobyGames has actually added a couple not on here since then, so I should probably update it soon
@RealDaveRyder hmmm, has Ryder found himself on the set of The Flintstones (1994)
@gifs_bot okay, surely there is a story behind this one
Today I was poking a little bit into the possibility of porting some Hercules games onto the Apricot. It is harder than I hoped it would be.
But I did an image quality check, and ouch it looks pretty good, which makes me sad that the Apricot didn't have decent games for it. This is a mock-up, I couldn't make the real game run, of course.
The screen has multiple frames because the monitor is 800x400, the image is 720x348, and the actual gameplay area is 448x192 (software scrolling on 4.77 MHz is slow, okay?!)
πΎ NEW PODCAST πΎ In November we looked at Toonstruck, the FMV point & click adventure game from 1996 featuring none other than Christopher Lloyd (that's "Doc Brown" from Back to the Future!)
This was a huge production at the time, with apparently a budget of around 8 million dollar!
Sadly the game seems a bit forgotten now, but that's all the more reason for us to take a look at it.
I might have created the most overcooked soccer game in existance.
Check out the latest update to Lazy Kickers! I added money!
@volpeon the best modern file search tool to my experience is the one included in FreeCommander which does not need any AI models to be both faster, more accurate, and more generally useful than the one in Windows. It even has "search within files" functionality, for not much hit on performance at all.
We don't need this new technology to make something infinitely better than we have. It's already right there.
He/him. Puzzle-Adventure Hybrid with RPG Elements. Supports 3D Acceleration. He Is Essentially What He Believes. Just in case, π, LGBTQ+ π, DOS π, ππ©π.
