Great Bible study on one of the most dense chapters in Genesis. I gave stuff to Abilities and then I went Christmas shopping at Abilities. I got 10 games for 10 bucks and then I went throught their records and got jazz albums for a dime each. At our Wednesday night contemporary worship we went caroling in drizzling rain. It was fine.

    10Rogue (1984)

    Food is often randomly scattered throughout the levels. You have varying degrees of luck, or not. Finding it as you progress is key. Save your steps! Yesterday I lost the game at level 8, ran out of food, & ended up stuck.. My character couldn't move anymore.

    Today seems to be looking better. We'll see!

        I see Deadly Dozen Reloaded on GOG.

        gog.com/en/game/deadly_dozen_r

        Back then, this developer's FPS games were much more interesting and challenging than most AAA titles.

        Deadly Dozen impressed me with its ballistic realism and difficulty. I felt like I was playing a very realistic simulation. However, I remember that the only way to play it was to buy an American version with very restrictive DRM. This resulted in a lost game license.

                        The original knights of Camelot return

                        Games can’t really be copyrighted as such, but their texts and visual elements can be. That leaves some games in an intellectual property limbo, like Camelot, a strategy game published in 1930 that’s now long out of production.

                                  Thanks for your reply, because it made me realise that I had misnamed the game in the ALT text!

                                  The game is actually called "2048", you can find it as a command-line version or with a GUI. It is a number puzzle in which the player pushes two identical numbers together to form one (the doubled number) and thus increases his score. In the limited field (4x4 or 5x5), a new number is added after each move. The game is over when the field is filled and there is no longer any possibility of moving. The goal is to make it to the number 2048 or even beyond and/or to reach as many points as possible.

                                  It is, I believe, available across platforms. For example, on Android devices under:
                                  f-droid.org/en/packages/org.se
                                  f-droid.org/de/packages/org.an

                                  The image of my post above shows the version under LINUX installed from default package sources.

                                                  This week I've been playing a lot of video games. I needed to.

                                                  Wasteland 3, excellent!
                                                  store.steampowered.com/app/719

                                                  Nethergate: Resurrection, excellent!
                                                  store.steampowered.com/app/218

                                                  Warhammer Chaosbane, which I found very average.
                                                  store.steampowered.com/app/774

                                                  The Bard's Tale ARPG: Remastered and Resnarkled, average
                                                  store.steampowered.com/app/419

                                                  And I reinstalled The Secret World: Legends, surprisingly I enjoyed it.

                                                    The history behind this game is super interesting. There is no canonical "Trek" game as it is the result of years of people typing the code direct into mainframes and tweaking it in a kind of Cambrian evolution. I did a big write up on the Steam page for my version, CGA Trek, out today!

                                                      Necroking

                                                      I stormed the castle, but I was ill-prepared, and this is the end for me. These nightmares that protect the foolish king are formidable!

                                                          Well, 6am..

                                                          I'm trying to make progress in this very engaging, but particularly difficult game.

                                                          Some of you have finished it? :0)
