Pete’s collection. | pseudo-macro

When I was in Austin, TX with my girlfriend, I met a family friend of hers called Pete. Pete is a games enthusiast with a special spot for retro games. He has a YouTube channel that you should check out if you like random gaming stuff. He also has a game room.

I Have No Words & I Must Design

As game designers, we need a way to analyze games, to try to understand them, and to understand what works and what makes them interesting. We need a critical language. And since this is basically a new form, despite its tremendous growth and staggering diversity, we need to invent one.

NFOpocalypse » Blog Archive » Civony: Gold farmers go first-party

You may have seen these Google ads on sites like… well, everywhere. While I can’t find screencaps of the original "Your queen is waiting" ads, they were what got my attention because I’d always wanted my own sexy fairy queen. A few nights ago, I finally gave Civony a try - hell, the worst case scenario was that I’d unearth some blog fodder!

My Liner Notes for Spore - Chris Hecker's Website

This page is intended to be a sort of liner notes for my contributions to Spore. It's a place for me to write up miscellaneous development comments about the parts of the game I worked on, while they're still fresh in my mind. I think the game had over 80 people working on it towards the end, and it was in development for more than 5 years, so basically everything in the game was touched by more than one person and was a team effort

The Escapist : News : Father Builds Arcade Cab For His Daughter

A doting father has built a custom arcade cabinet for his young daughter, Bella. The cab is 20% smaller than normal, making it just the right height for the creator's four-year-old daughter. Inside is a Windows 98 machine, running a custom MAME, skinned with a personalized theme. The cab has 250 classic games to play, including Ms. Pac-Man and Mr. Do's Castle, and while it doesn't need change to work, the coin box acts as a piggy bank!

Derek Yu (indie game creator)

I love video games. As an entertainment and artistic medium, I personally don’t think they can be matched! The fact that the mainstream media treats them as murder/sex simulators and brain rot just makes them more fascinating to me. But that’s a topic for another discussion!

Milliways: Infocom's Unreleased Sequel to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Waxy.org

From an anonymous source close to the company, I've found myself in possession of the "Infocom Drive" - a complete backup of Infocom's shared network drive from 1989. This is one of the most amazing archives I've ever seen, a treasure chest documenting the rise and fall of the legendary interactive fiction game company. Among the assets included: design documents, email archives, employee phone numbers, sales figures, internal meeting notes, corporate newsletters, and the source code and game files for every released and unreleased game Infocom made.

Project Aon: Main / Home (browse)

Lone Wolf In Print Again! Today is a milestone for Lone Wolf. Flight from the Dark was first printed 23 years ago. For the last several years, this seminal book has languished in limbo, sadly out-of-print in English. We at Project Aon and other faithful stalwarts have kept the banner of the Kai flying in this time of uncertainty.
