💾 DOS GAME CLUB 💾

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 We've done lots of combat sims over the years, but never before under water, which is what 1993's Subwar 2050 by Particle Systems and Microprose is all about!

Some say it's merely "aquatic Wing Commander", but when you dive into it (pun intended) there's quite a unique experience to be had at the bottom of the sea!

New blog post! Is it still possible to get cheap Z80-based home computers? VTech is on your side, as long as you don't look too closely at that keyboard (woof.) But I managed to get it to draw some pixels, and generate composite video, so we're off to a great start learning and playing together with the VTech Socrates. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #z80 #kicad #vtech

My copy of the #CosmicFantasy collection 2 showed up yesterday!

It will be amazing to finally play these games in English even though they are half-hearted lackluster translations.

For the most part it sounds like collection 2 was handled better than collection 1.

Apparently a few areas have some lines of dialogue that were still in Japanese and untranslated, but I'll take that over the buggy mess of CF1.

Both of the Cosmic Fantasy collections for the Nintendo Switch. The first collection is on the left and the second collection is on the right. The covers show many of the characters from the games. They are limited run releases.

Arcade puzzle games are often overlooked, so here's "Klax" (1990) from Atari.

Colored blocks roll down a conveyor belt, and you must catch them and drop them in rows, columns, or diagonals. Levels have specific goals, like scoring a certain number of diagonals, or surviving a certain number of blocks.

It's a good game to emulate on mobile, while on a waiting room. Which I guess kind of says why we don't usually think about puzzle games in arcades...

Screen capture from Klax's attract sequence. A black screen with white text that says: "It is the nineties and there is time for..." "Add Coins to Start"
Another capture from Klax's attract sequence. It shows the Atari Games logo, and the word "Klax" where the "K" is a hand (that rotates and gets replaced by an actual "K" periodically).
The blocks are rolling down a conveyor belt from the distance. You have a paddle that can hold a certain number of blocks. When you drop a block from the paddle's stack, the top block drops first.
In this level, you have do do a certain number of "Klaxs" (rows, columns, diagonals of the same color) to complete the level. The "drop meter" says you can't fail to catch more than 3 blocks. Of course, as the level goes on, it becomes harder to catch them all, and that's how you lose.
