for oric i have there only pulsoids written in the beginning of 21st century, again arkanoid clone but with lines instead of balls.

@norayr lol "Batty" is a great name for an Arkanoid clone. 😄

🐙 norayr · Feb 05 at 08:20:

why? (:

bat is an animal, i never understood why the name.

🐝 drcouzelis · Feb 05 at 11:59:

bat is an animal

"Bat" is also the word for a stick used to hit something, like "baseball bat".

Adding "y" to the end makes a word sound cute.

"Batty" also means to go crazy.

So, it's a cute name of a game where you go crazy trying to hit a ball with a stick! 😆

🐙 norayr · Feb 05 at 18:12:

thank you. (:

This weekend I plan to play Tecmo Bowl for Game Boy. It's more fun than watching the big Super Bowl American football game. 😉

I’m kind of bouncing around to various retro games right now and need to pick a lane. Started going the the Soul Calibur series last year, did Soul Blade on PS1 (MisterFPGA), Soul Calibur (Dreamcast), Soul Calibur II (Wii), Soul Calibur III (PS2) and then skipped to VI and played mostly on Steam Deck. I need to return to it but haven’t gotten a working PS3 setup going yet and the PSP version was weirdly hard.

I am playing way too much Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. It’s not a retro game but has a lot of retro game wonk and makes me happy.

I'm playing infrastructure for Half-Life on Xash3d/FWGS :p

i don't really play.

but i like to have some games installed.

one is moon-buggy.

it is amazing. it works in console.

in linux there are some retro (not vintage) games: nebulous, supertux, burgerspace.

i like to have oric atmos emulator installed and pulsoids is the best arcanoid game i ever seen.

i also like to have spectrum emulator installed and i have batty and jack the nipper ii there.

I'm playing Earthworm Jim for the Sega Genesis!

I loved and played the 8-bit port for the original Game Boy a TON back in the 90s, and I've always wanted to play the original. It's a lot of fun, but I keep dying on the stages that weren't in the GB port because I don't have those memorized! 😆

🐙 norayr · Apr 04 at 00:04:

apparently i already commented. anyway.

nebulus on c64, toppler on linux.
