Damn, 34 bucks... I'd get the PC version to be honest. You need a potato to run it.

About to start playing Rimworld on my Steam Deck- the name sounds like a Leisure Suit Larry spin off.

Tested with my mini-Godzillas. "Baba is you" is not better than "Push-over" but is indeed really interesting. This afternoon we managed to succeed the 7 starting levels, the 13 lake levels (+ temple & ruins) and 6 of the island level.
Thanks for the advice gimbal

I recently replayed Push-over on an Amiga emulator on my PS Vita. Was totally hooked.

Just played the tutorial and can see the potential. Seems pretty complex.

The reason I got back into Amiga? To play Legend (Mindscape) and World of Legends once again. I am loving it.

Just fired up
Fallout 3
and it was weird
the npc's were skidding across the landscape
which looked ruff...

I am guessing it was using settings for an older GPU.

What a name!

Yesterday I became a little transfixed with a ZX Spectrum (among other platforms) game called La Abadia del Crimen, a Spanish title. How did I get to that? Well my partner is from Spain and we were watching a documentary on Netflix about how the Spanish video game development market got kickstarted, and this title passed by which made her yell out "THAT GAME! I spent hours trying to complete it in one sitting and never could!". It reminded me a lot of the (pretty much universally disliked) monastery undercover quest of Kingdom Come: Deliverance so I decided to give it a go out of curiosity.

Here is the Amstrad version for a little more color:

Never mind that it is hard to know when you are supposed to be doing something, this game demonstrates another pet peeve of mine. It is isometric and when you change screens, the angle changes. Disorienting to say the least!

Still an interesting title to give a go, quite unique. I'm not going to call it fun, just unique.

Oblivion: Goblin Trouble

Got the Totem Staff (using Invisibility)
dropped it outside the original owners cave = Nothing
took it inside = Still nothing

Talked to the settlers = Nothing

Had to use the setstage command to move it on

Fallout 3: Agatha's Song

Could not get to Vault-Tecs HQ
(to find the location of vault 92)

The map markers seemed to say
the Metro was the way ---
but ended up further away.

Had to use the console show (and travel to)
all (TMM 1).

Ziggurat 2

The first game was fun, but a bit too limited so it got boring rather quick. The second one adds a lot of little tweaks to keep it interesting for longer. Fun rogue-something FPS with carrots that want to murder you
