We're gearing up for a big weekend in Roseville at Fire & Ice Retro Gaming Expo: * A new exhibition build of The Halls of Talamh Domhain showing off all monsters, NPCs, vendors, & the entire soundtrack! * A new technical talk, Intro to N64 Reverse Engineering & Randomizers! Hope to see you there!

You never know what you're going to find at Roseville's Retro Gaming Expo, like this weird fake trackpad controller for the NES! We had to take it for a spin with The Halls of Talamh Domhain, and it works surprisingly well. Come by the indie developer booths and give it a shot! 😆
