@sonneveld @dosnostalgic Congrats for finishing Alone in the Dark 2. I never managed it. It's by far my least favourite of the original trilogy (yeah I know the shitty one is supposed to be #3, but I actually liked that one) due to (imho) overly complicated puzzles, mainly.

@dukeboitans @dukeofprunes @dosnostalgic Would this be more accurate than PCem for 8086PC?

Started playing #msdos 's Starflight 2 and it's incredible how addictive it is, even if the core gameplay is so repetitive. The sense of exploration (particularly of the planet surface) really sucks me in. I wonder if a modern game implementation of the game would work. I might try to create a small prototype, perhaps in text mode to check if the idea works. I'd add the creation of trade routes between discovered settlements and space combat would work like in Star Traders: Frontier.

Hello my old friend #msdos

@dosnostalgic but did he actually share the profits? I used to follow Broussard on Twitter, it had some interesting takes on indie game pricing and game dev on general, then there was some stupid polemic about the number of followers he had and I had the impression he was just an a-hole, so I unfollowed.

@dosnostalgic every time I see a screenshot like this, so full and data and text, I'm in awe, mesmerized. I start fantasizing about what could all of that information mean and I want to play the game, knowingly very well that I might not enjoy it at all.
