Happy (belated) birthday! Had the museum any old versions of Space War!....?

Thank you! None at all, sadly

i'm thinking about getting hello kitty island adventure on steam while it's on sale but i can't bring myself to spend 30 euro on a mobile port

Hey, I was that 10-year-old kid who climbed into that cockpit cabinet (in '89, actually)! Superlatives can scarcely express how thrilling that classic was in the '80s and early '90s, and I'm impressed by how well it's aged. Thanks for reminding me of "Balance of Power," which I should finally play....

@howsoonisnow, TBH it doesn't really feel that mobile-y since doesn't have any microtransactions, howeeever you can really tell it's from a subscription-based service since basically all content is time-gated. I've been playing for more than one month straight and I'm still not done with it, but recently I really only play it during my lunch break since it's becoming really repetitive.

Maybe you can try it out using Steam's 2hr refund window? In my case it was a gift but like you I was also eyeing it for a while before, the game is cute and has tons of content but it's def no ACNH so yeah the price is a bit steep

@rbuchanan, lucky! I only played it on the upright cabinet and it was still awesome, the sound on the cockpit must've been out of this world

I quite like Patchwork, which I read with an ex about a score ago. Jackson has a knack for corporeal metaphor and multifarious pastiche, and the nods to Oates, et al. are impressively subtle. This is a good example of art that spans boundaries; I can't abide the ethos, broader praxes, and politics of Jackson or her ex-husband, but her work's excellence and trenchancy transcends those.

Marathon was never going to lure me away from id's stuff, but I really enjoyed playing it on a friend's Mac back in the '90s. I wouldn't mind revisiting this one as an SDL port.

I'm familiar with Terada; I haven't read his novels, but he wrote and co-wrote some of the best episodes and features of Dirty Pair and Kimagure Orange Road

Policenauts is enduringly impressive; had it been marketed a decade later, somebody like Miike or Tsukamoto would've helmed an adapted feature. I would've been rankled by all that groping if it weren't so funny.
