Hell yeah! Never thought I’d see this mentioned anywhere. I’d love a modern take on this.

That’s her on a good day. Always had goopy eyes sadly but the vet said she’s doing just fine.

Board game or DnD club! I’ve met so many cool people at these things and it’s a fun hobby to boot! :)

I do similar in the UK via Crisis. Its not much but a hot meal and somewhere to sleep/ cleanup is always a nice gesture to those in need I feel.

A collection of text documents in various formats on a shared drive on my home network. When I want to cook one of them I simply print it out and work from today in the kitchen. Doesn’t matter if it gets wet/messy/damaged that way.

Assuming it survives I use the reverse side to write a shopping list next time I go shopping.

Arcade game in browser (programming.dev)

Back in the 90s, it was a game as Java applet. But then somebody removed all those nice plugins. I ported it a while back to C#, made it into desktop (Gtk, WinForms etc), but now finally, it returns - with WebAssembly - back into the browser, where this originally “remastered from DOS” game began 😀

My mum still plays this daily. Had done for years. So can’t get beyond level 6 though 🤣

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

  • Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

It seems easier to play than , but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

  1. / (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is available on , but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

  1. / (DOS)

Years before the era of came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

  1. / (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).

So, how about you?

  1. Half Life
  2. Sim Copter
  3. Carmageddon
  4. Quarantine
  5. Descent
  6. SiN

So much magic wrapped up in these games. I’m aware of the sequels and what not but I’d love to go back to them completely fresh.

Honourable mention to Deus Ex and Need for Speed Porsche 2000 which missed the cut by months.

Came out in 1998 a month or so before Half Life and came with a patch cd in the box 🤣

Interesting take on the fps genre with branching routes/alternate levels that change things in the story deepening on your success. It’s a bit janky now but still a decent game.

I got introduced to XCWeather.co.uk about 10 years ago and swear by it even now. Only runs as a Web page but it’s lightweight, fast and seems to be fairly accurate plus decent customisation options.
