We're in Amsterdam! Spooky is a bit knackered but that's probably because he spent the last couple of hours bouncing around in an overhead luggage compartment.
Clearly I have not reached the levels of fame of @wadjeteyegames.com 😅 The lines are still open for another hour until boarding.
Space Quest Historian@spacequesthistorian.com · 4d agoMe and Spooky are on our way to the airport and onwards to PRGE! It's gonna be a long while until the plane leaves at 6 am, so let's have one of those Q&A things. Ask me (or Spooky) anything.
I've only played the second one (Hand of Fate) which I quite enjoyed, even though one of the last puzzles is a Towers of Hanoi puzzle. Ask @richardcobbett.bsky.social why that's a crime.
ParadiseRegaind@paradiseregaind.bsky.social · 4d agoWhat do you think of Westwood’s Legend of Kyrandia trilogy??

What is a game that has you reaching for your hint book, or clicking for that walkthrough?
Eh, one more. Why not. Our very loud covers of the Format Countdown from Space Quest IV and Underworld from King's Quest VI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQk7...

Error 47@error47.bsky.social · 5d agoWe just dropped two new releases on Bandcamp. The first is an EP of music from the first two Monkey Island games: error47.bandcamp.com/album/all-th... The second is a single track from the Metroidvania game Cave Story that we speed-metal'd up a bit: error47.bandcamp.com/album/cave-s...
This is so cool. Apparently this wedding photo is stored out of bonds so it can be teleported over to Connor and start rotating around him if the player inputs a special cheat code. (Check the reply in the original post for details.) I love that we're still discovering new and weird shit.
Cosmic Void@cosmicvoidonline.bsky.social · 6d agoFound something unexpected in the mountains of Daventry! 🤩 Mask of Eternity runs on a modified Dynamix simulation engine, so I modded it to let Connor fly. 🐦Took him on a flyby over Daventry and spotted something cool the devs hid up there. Anyone able to identify the couple? #easteregg

I got an email from this guy yesterday. He's going to be at PRGE, probably networking and fishing for more interviews. My plea to any developers or industry people he approaches: Please don't accept his requests. Please don't enable hate. Everyone else, please be civil. Preferably just ignore.
Anatoly Shashkin💾@dosnostalgic.bsky.social · 7mo agoIt is such a shame that cool people (I'm assuming unknowingly) keep showing up for that racist Jesse Petrilla's YouTube channel.

Happy #TillysGameversary 🎂 to Myst (1993) Myst was the seminal ‘90’s CD-ROM experience. The aim of the ‘game’ was to torturously click through a series of CGI holiday snaps apparently belonging to someone who went on the most boring island getaway of all time. All without falling asleep.
Someone says they got Space Quest working on a Commodore 64. Let's see if they're right (and if I can get it working in the first place). Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... or youtube.com/spaceque...
Always a pleasure to have our friends @richardcobbett.bsky.social and @wadjeteyegames.com on the show. In their first tag-team episode they discuss sexy vampires and Steam's aversion to sexy vampires while enduring a steady barrage of puerile innuendo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WJt... Audio link 👇

🥳🎉🎉🎉 I have achieved "beta cuck" status! I believe this is a leveling up in YouTube circles.
I recently heard someone describe NIN as inverse Rick Astley. I will give you up I will let you down I will run around and desert you I will make you cry I will say goodbye I will tell a lie and hurt you
Got 8 games in my "shit I didn't ask for" bin, so I figured we'd spin the wheel and see who's first on the chopping block. Come join me! twitch.tv/spacequest... • youtube.com/spaceque...
After a prolonged absence (again), we're recording a new episode on Saturday. We'll have our good friends @wadjeteyegames.com and @richardcobbett.bsky.social on the show to explain why they tried to sneak explicit pornography past Steam's censors.
Controversy sells, even if artificially generated by an algorithm for no good reason. Now go buy Dave Gilbert's new hot sexy controversial steamy sweaty vampire game for degenerates and sickos.
Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 4w agoNow that this whole “adult content” debacle is over, I think I can call it a net positive. More people know about our game than ever. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. That said, I hope to never have to go through anything like this ever again. 🫠
It's a good thing I'm not in charge of @wadjeteyegames.com's PR because I don't think I could resist the urge to call this "some weapons-grade fucking bullshit."
Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 4w agoWe are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.
