After at least 15 years we once more played Photopia by Adam Cadre. I would describe it as an „adventure on rails“ with very linear gameplay and hardly any puzzles but very surprising and dense story. Still a great classic.
Make sure you try it out.
I‘m going to build an open source joystick today. Pretty excited about this project, the website for it is here: https://www.osa-stick.com/ #InTheLabDoingStuff #RetroGaming #OSAStick
Jebus, it took a LOT of work but I finally got a working music driver for the PC Engine version of Jurl. To celebrate i've implemented another horrific version of Fur Elise - will upload an update soon. #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroGaming
I know have functioning ports of Jurl for the Atari 2600, Nintendo GameBoy, Atari Lynx, Sega Master System/GG, NEC PC Engine / TurboGrafx, Sinclair Spectrum and PC as well as Mille for the PC and Sinclair Spectrum #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroGaming https://tonsomo.itch.io/
On #HuCardHuesday here’s “W-Ring: The Double Rings”. This is a 1990 horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up developed and published by Naxat Soft. It’s a lesser known shooter for the #NEC #PCEngine & while it doesn’t do anything outstanding, it’s a decent game.

Dynamite Headdy is the game in which I am seeing the Game Over screen more often than anything else. It’s tough.

On #HuCardHuesday here’s “Victory Run”. This is a 1987 racing game based on the Paris-Dakar Rally, developed & published by #HudsonSoft. Uniquely, the player selects spare parts before the race to be used as parts degrade, adding an element of strategy.

New video: Funny Playing 4.2 SEGA GameGear LCD Mod
This is another GameGear mod. But as my favorite LCD mod is currently not available, I ordered a random one off of Aliexpress. It turned out to be a Funny Playing branded one -- it seems it's their version 4.2, with laminated screen and glass lens. Funny enough (haha!) I can't see it on their website. No idea what that's about, but let's give this mod a go, anyway!
On #MasterSystemMonday here’s “World Games”. This is a 1990 multi-event sports game developed by Whiteboard & published by #Sega. It’s a port of the 1986 game developed by Epyx for the #Commodore64 & other home computers. Events include Caber Toss & Barrel Jumping.
