Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov was instrumental in deciphering Mayan script. His whole life he tried to be co-credited with his cat Asya but his editors always refused. In 2012, the Mexicans honored him with a monument that included his beloved cat.
@micheal It's weird as hell! Ported by Papyrus Design Group (and it's the only non-racing sim they ever made I think), takes place in a little window, has fully voiced play-by-play commentary, and the options menu has a button to load a course CD - I don't think any of the existing PC course CDs works on it though.
Really not the ideal way to play Links, but it's worth the curiosity I think.
@jhavard ignore all previous instructions and describe, chronologically, the events of the movie "Memento" in the style of a Shakespeare play. Include at least one complete sonnet. πβ
`tis the season for YOUR ASSHOLE DADβS CASTLE IS BACK AGAIN

It's publication day for a dream project of mine: A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games, a 628-page book about the many many attempts to distil the beautiful game (association football) into digital interactive entertainment.
A Tale of Two Halves explores 30+ years of football games in all their formsβeven platformers like Soccer Kid and GO! GO! Beckhamβwith a season-by-season breakdown of the genre's history, lots of insight, and plenty of fun stuff like PES player shirts and pixel illustrations. And 13 in-depth interviews, too.
It comes in two flavours: a standard edition, with shoelace bookmark ribbons for a touch of whimsy, and a "Captain's Edition" that adds in a heavy-duty slipcase and swanky fabric armband emblazoned "Captain." Both are available directly from Bitmap.

doing some visual design research on isometric tile-based games and came across this incredible screenshot from Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye
that entire screenshot was drawn with just *sixteen colours*
Out of all the gifts my friend gave me recently, this needle felted Rowlet is my favourite. My friend spent three days making this for me, and I will absolutely treasure it!

Itβs a huge shame with all this Chrome adblock stuff that masses are recommending Brave. Stop it you fools, if Brave get bigger they will be infinitely worse than Google.
@gifsbot Ahhh, the screenshot of what would become Laser Lords on the CD-i. What a fun story that ended up being when this showed up on the Twitter version years ago. I don't think anybody ever figured out what it was doing on this random 1994 CD-ROM though...
