Day of the Tentacle (1993). Admittedly, it was the remastered version from 2016 which has more modern controls, but the game is exactly the same as the old one.

It was fascinating to look at it again with more mature eyes: besides the fact that it feels a bit dated as a whole, it was funny to me to notice how much humanity loves time travel stories.

It’s not that this game is doing anything different in that regard, it’s just that I thought about how much media exists on the subject (and has been very successful).

Anyhow, although dated, the game is brilliant and wholesome and made me wonder which are the best (and recent) graphic adventure games

Don’t know if it counts but, “Game of Life” (1970) on “The Powder Toy” (2008).

I went to Sakura Con this year and they had a Quick & Crash arcade cabinet from 1999.

It’s not the oldest game I’ve played this year, but it was definitely the most interesting!

Level 4 has a mug you shoot that appears to really explode

The effect is incredibly convincing!

Tap for spoilerThe secret is the real mug is pulled down very fast and real chunks of mug are shot up simultaneously

There was a Star Wars text adventure game on the Apple II released in 1979 that I used to play. I’ve been searching for the code from that game for a long time I finally found it again just this month. Part way through my efforts to convert it to javascript I realized I hadn’t bothered looking for an actual emulator for Applesoft Basic… Sure enough, they exist (jsbasic on github), so I now have that running on my server. Yay, good memories!

Pong. Which is argueably the first ever video game. It’s a square, which represents a ball, because circles were too advanced for that time period, and its bounding between two rectantgles which defend the ball from getting past them. It’s essentially ping pong, but I guess the hardware couldn’t handle the ping, only the pong.

I went to a gamestop a few months ago to see if they had any games for my Gameboy Advance. The dude at the register said I might have better luck at the “retro game” store in the next town over. I nearly spit out my Crystal Pepsi at him.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs from 1993 on real arcade machine.
