Toni Westbrook<p>Finished Eye of the Beholder I last night, this is the fist time I had seriously put effort into it since having played originally many decades ago. Gotta love the ending on many of these old games - it's literally just a page of text, and then immediately quits to DOS. I respect that - the real enjoyment in these games is the journey! </p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/eyeofthebeholder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eyeofthebeholder</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dosgaming</span></a></p>

eobet<p>Feast your eyes on this absolutely gorgeous Japanese artistic interpretation of the otherwise comically childish game which is <strong>The Horde</strong>.

Toni Westbrook<p>Others folks probably knew this already but it was news to me. The OpenMPT library supports the PSM tracker format used by some Epic MegaGames titles (Jazz Jackrabbit, Pinball, OMF, etc). For example, I just pointed VLC at the PSM files in my Epic Pinball installation, and they played/converted with no problem! This main title theme is one of my favorite of all time. </p><p>PSM details for those interested:<br> <a href="https://moddingwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/ProTracker_Studio_Module" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">moddingwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/P</span><span class="invisible">roTracker_Studio_Module</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/trackermusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trackermusic</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dosgaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/epicgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epicgames</span></a></p>
Thomas Leroy 🍣🐈‍⬛<p>Well, after flipping through the 400 pages, I can say that the book covers a lot of topics.

Louis<p>Terminal Velocity is a neat early 32-bit era game. Fly around, blow up bases. Best with a flightstick. Probably a bit too long given how repetitive it is, but what’s there isn’t bad. Full color manual, too. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dosgaming</span></a></p>
Classic Game Sessions<p>Ms. Pac-Man (Midway Games / Atarisoft, 1983)</p><p>There are some pretty jank looking early 80's arcade ports for PC / DOS but this a pretty decent arcade-port from Atarisoft from 1983. </p><p>Nice to kick back and revisit these arcade games I played as a kid on computer and console. </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/xzVOcqfojWc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/xzVOcqfojWc</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DOSgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOSgaming</span></a></p>
