Oh goody, more copy protection. Pipe Dream uses a code wheel like the Monkey Island games, but instead of dates there are pipe sections. Fun.

Right now it's convenient because the game somehow fails to initialize its random generator properly so I always get asked the same question each time. The downside is that the gameplay is 100% identical each session as well, so that's not going to fly long-term.

Take that, modern OSes. #windows #macos #linux doesn’t matter.

Computers used to be *fun* to use. And simple actions could surprise and delight. They all seem to have forgotten how computers could be FUN.

From something as “simple” as an icon to launch a game…

Some images from the animated About dialog for the Mac version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, running in an experimental version of @scummvm. It's not pixel perfect (I guess ScummVM's Mac font renderer doesn't quite emulate QuickDraw rendering, and the rounded corners are also a bit off), but it should be enough to fool the casual observer.

I think we can all agree that this has been time well spent.

one thing i miss from migrating over to tabletop playground was the trivial pursuit board so i made my own deck and put it online https://mod.io/g/tabletopplayground/m/quiz-whirl

will update this eventually with a trivial pursuit-like board as well but right now you can play quick trivia with the category die

Oh, hai tiny floppy disk organizer but for micro SD cards.

What happened to #holograms? The 3D photos in monochrome laser colours?

They were EVERYWHERE in the 80s/90s and now it seems impossible to find them except on a credit card sticker.

Searching for "hologram" online just shows sculptures or spinning things or shiny paper or projections onto a bit of cloth. None of them are actual 3D photos.
