How do you sell a game like Tetris?

Different companies had differen answers to this fundamental life question.

Below we have that from Bullet Proof Software in Japan, Mirrorsoft in the UK, and Atari Games in the US.

@vga256 I like that this collection has Koi-Koi in it. that game is fun as hell and more people should learn how to play it.

every once in a while i stumble across a great DS title at a thrift store

today’s find was Club House Games - a relatively early title that took advantage of the DS’s architecture

one criminally underrated and underused DS feature is “single card download play” - which lets you play against other DS players who *do not* a copy of the card themselves. it wirelessly transmits the game to them for ad hoc competitions.

i love that the first owner of this bought it at a local Zellers. 😎 how i miss your vinyl offgassing shoe aisles and $3 PC bargain bins

I've been away from the Doom community for over a year now, so it floored me to learn that my mod from 2012, "Weasel Presents: Terrorists", was awarded a "Missed Cacoward" for this year's Cacowards at Doomworld. No joke, I cried.

Looking back over it, I decided the mod isn't very easy to download as a raw Github repo, so I uploaded a "release" build and also posted it to itch as a pay-what-you-want with a nice page and all that. wildweasel.itch.io/terrorists

low-resolution blood, bleeding from the eye (Doom PWAD textmode end screen) 

To celebrate #Doom's 31st anniversary, here's the ENDOOM (#textmode end screen) I did in 2023 for "Perdition's Gate Resurgence", a PWAD with an Ancient Egypt theme that, as of this writing, is almost done. You can find the development thread here on Doomworld: doomworld.com/forum/topic/9485

It has always blown my mind how Pinball Fantasies is able to play music and sound effects through a PC speaker (no sound card).

in february 2000, Be announced it was releasing its BeOS operating system for free.

here is the website around the free launch. i sure do miss that swoopy web design aesthetic with handcrafted nav icons and lighting effects.

@mavica_again Mmm, treat fish. Kinda looks like one of those Haribo gummy sharks but made of toothpaste. 😜

Thanks to some hot tips here from Misty De Méo of cdrom.ca - I have added the Pioneer LaserActive's two game PACs, and a handful of other things, to the No Golf List. netizen.club/~wildweasel/nogol

@jplebreton the times i wish we lived in a world where "eggbux" could have actually happened. 😞​

Sharp X68000's Human68k operating system has the most pleasant background colour for its desktop. instead of going with harsh (255, 255, 255) white, it uses a much more pleasant off-white (208, 192, 176) that comes from the orange segment of the palette.
