Ask Lemmy

Santa Paravia en Fiumaccio. Try and grow a city-state by strategically distributing resources. Poor distribution results in death by famine, disease or invasion. Good distribution keep state growing and eventually become king to win the game. I played it on a Commodore PET.

In honor of Xmas, I found this video a decade ago, and it is the version I hear in my head every year.

Last Xmas - Slugabed ruined it

Secret Dungeon

It was my second attempt at making a game(the first time i wrote "horizontal" instead of "Horizontal", making movement not work. I gave up for 2 years from making games because of that). It was made by me and a friend.

It was supposed to be a platformer in which you could kill enemies and bosses and have a lot of secrets. It was never published because we gave up

My "Learn to Play Didgeridoo With Gram Doe" CD.

A solar powdered handheld called something like Keep the devil rising.

I remember playing Big Sky Trooper for the SNES which was about killing the alien slugs and you had to navigate the solar system.

Ninja Bachelor Party. A goofy and mostly nonsensical home movie made by a few teenagers, including legendary comedian Bill Hicks way before he was famous.

There were four promotional songs put together to promote the 1960's Adam West Batman. One of them is Miranda sung by Adam West. It's, uh, something, yeah.

Movie: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Music: Buggie Techinica by Polysics

There was a dnd game for the intellivision

A former roommate of mine had a DVD he had gotten from a friend who got it from a film festival. I believe it was Dreamscape but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm this actually it.

sometimes I feel like Nintendo's Custom Robo series counts as only 2 games ever existed outside of Japan: Custom Robo [Battle Revolution] for Gamecube, and Custom Robo Arena for DS. Luckily there's been 3 spiritual successors since then: Cyberspace Colosseum, WizardPunk, and Battlecore Robots.

There's also this B-movie from the 60s called The Creation of the Humanoids. It's not that spectacular per se, but it is the source of the "You are a robot" sample used in Powerman 5000's When Worlds Collide and the Metal Arms: Glitch in the System theme music.

The games I've made.

beyond ynth

Back in the 90s maybe into early 2000s, my family managed to acquire a lot of VHS tapes, and some of them were fairly obscure

Two that I remember particularly fondly were 2 animated movies

Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, which was about 2 kids raised by dingos, kind of a weird fantasy movie

And Return to Treasure Island, which was pretty much just a straight-up if somewhat comedic adaptation of Treasure island, which was apparently made the USSR, and the Russian version had live action sequences that didn't appear in the English version I had.

I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.
