I added this to today's play list at the last minute when I didn't think Grave Yardage was going to take up enough time. If you're interested, It'll go up on my YouTube next week:

Grave Yardage (1989) - MobyGames Fantasy Football where monsters pummel each other and dodge landmines to make touchdowns!

I can't say I enjoyed Conan the Cimmerian. It's probably one of the worst World Builder games I've played.

Next Friday we'll be moving on to some Grave Yardage. We'll probably play both the C64 and MSDOS versions.

Conan: The Cimmerian (1991) - MobyGames Conan the Cimmerian was living happily as a blacksmith with his wife in the village of Irskuld, Cimmeria...until one fateful day. A group of horsemen raided his village...Conan was knocked unconscious...

Okay, 'Sea Rogue' was educational. It was a very interesting concept not very well executed.

I'll be moving on next week to another World Builder Engine Game:

Conan the Cimmerian

Lucky. My ADHD makes coffee nearly useless for that purpose. No energy boost. At best it relaxes me. At worst it makes me jittery.

Sea Rogue (1992) - MobyGames In Sea Rogue you assume command of a five person treasure hunting team that searches possible underwater sites for sunken treasure and artifacts. Sea Rogue allows the player to train the crew for diff...

Had a fun time with Transarctica, but I don't think we'll continue with it.

Instead we'll be trying to tackle one of the more intricate games on the short list: Sea Rogue for MSDOS.

Arctic Baron (1993) - MobyGames The Viking Union has a very dominant role in your society, as they control the vast railway networks. Could they be to blame for the disappearance of the sun and the resultant ice age? As a train capt...

Next Friday's Retro PC Game:

Transarctica/Arctic Baron for MSDOS via DOSBox. I just got done watching Snowpiercer, and I felt it was appropriate.

If they were bad, I'd just have to be a bad person. Sorry, not sorry.

I unapologetically enjoy me a good video game.

Mike Singleton - Wikipedia

Today's stream might be a little different. I think before I start my game for the day, I am going to take a moment to talk about the World Builder Engine, and Mike Singleton.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Si...

Join me if you're interested in hearing about one of my Game Dev Heroes.

Been a while since I posted anything interesting. How about my current streaming setup?

(please ignore the pink walls)

In order: Wide Shot, Side Angle, Close-up.

I did a full play-through on this one in my let's play community. It was an awesome game.

I have J2 on my short list because I have such fond memories of this game.

When you say, "It's not that deep, bro". What you're really saying is "I can't or won't see the depth". Everything is *that* deep.

Finished up with The Fool's Errand. Lots of fun was had.

Next we're moving on to the first game we've played built in the World Builder engine and designed by my hero, Mike Singleton.

Getting fatigued by people saying that the U.S. is *now* a 3rd world country.

No it is not.

And it won't be until it's economically under-developed and being exploited by a colonial power.

Not gonna lie;

I love making stupid Shorts on YouTube...

Moreso I love that someone would get so cross at my stupid short they'd downvote it. It makes my day.

Chocobo's Dungeon 2 (1998) - MobyGames Following the adventures of the first Chocobo Dungeon game, Chocobo and Mog continue to search for treasure. One day, Mog discovers a new Mysterious Dungeon and takes the treasure from inside. This re...

I hate to give up on Wild Arms, but I'm just not enjoying it anymore.

Moving on to Chocobo's Dungeon 2.

It was only a matter of time. Reality relies on floating point calculations.

Practical application was simply waiting on a device that could do them quick enough. Now we have them.

Woke up early today. I have a puzzle game today on my stream; The Fool's Errand. Which means it needs to be a double coffee day today.

Happy Friday!

I'll be honest, I watched the first movie once and I'd have a hard time remembering any of it if I didn't see it regularly shoved in my face by the commercials and advertisements that I am constantly trying to dodge.

It's such a garbage game when compared to other D&D franchise games of that time.

It was only because it was a D&D game, and you could transfer your PoR/CotAB characters that I played as much of it as I did...
