Thanks for the link. I just spent a few minutes returning to Pirate Cove.

I think I do miss the world of text adventures. I remember the one that drew some visuals in. Seeing "The Hobbit" run from disk was like watching a Pixar movie at the time. It was quite incredible.
I do get a tad bored with ...

During the lockdown I've been hankering after revisiting some of the games I enjoyed years ago.

I found a piece of software called Frotz which plays all of the wonderful Infocom games.

I found an archive which had all of the Scott Adams text adventures converted to Frotz - but none of them (bar ...

I remember "Bonzo" quite well. One of the early Joystick games for the VIC.

It's fun to hear of the 'family moments' that happened with the early micro games. I remember the first time I reached "Rocket City" on the excellent "Skramble" from Rabbit. I think me and my Mum were shaking with ...

Deckard - Yes the same for me as well.

Still prefer Radar Ratrace over Rally-X - eating cheese made more sense.

And still have Jelly Monsters in a near mint box as well. I was blown away when I saw that it was a really decent Pac-Man running on the VIC.

And Scott Adams played along by writing ...

Can I just say thanks to the OP for mentioning this book.

Took a quick look yesterday and it gave me much pleasure. The VIC was my first micro. Have many great memories of playing games with my Mum. I also had a few of the cartridges. They were 'big ticket' items at the time costing a whopping £20 ...

Our game requires two Move controllers. It features knife throwing, and we decided we would have been spending time making our game worse if we'd compromised it to use the controller. It began life on the HTC Vive, which ships with two perfect motion tracked controllers. Bringing it to PSVR on a ...

Thank for giving us a chance and supporting our work. We rely on folks like you to continue.

I've posted on the sub-reddit - it seems we live in an age where people very easily cry wolf at the developers. But we have no way of knowing if they have configured an optimal PSVR setup. I also doubt that ...

Thanks for the support - it means a lot to a tiny studio like us.

It's confirmed. Lethal will be out on Tuesday for PSVR owners.

We liked VR so figured we'd make a game for it. Small team of 7 and we made the whole thing in about seven weeks for the HTC Vive. PSVR version took probably double that - different HW, tracking system, more limitations, and a much ...

LethalVR just passed cert at Sony so should be on track to release before Christmas.

I'm reading the two volume set about Gremlin Graphics. Really good and way better than I was expecting it to be.

Our game was designed and built for the HTC Vive to begin with. That system ships with two perfect motion tracked controllers. The gameplay is based around shooting and throwing actions. It's a 360 room scale experience that requires moving around, leaning and kneeling on that system.

When we ...

30p for a credit on a game where you don't even know how hard it is. Agree, shocking.

But then again, dropping a pound into "Mad Dog McCree" felt like something for lottery winners only.

We'll be doing a new PS Blog piece on launch day along with a PSVR trailer. That was just getting finished yesterday.

Web link worked fine for me, but let me know if you have any further problems.

Oculus is a TBA for us at the moment. The market is really really small right now - which is why the big players aren't there yet. At the same time, it's a huge risk for small developers like us.

We're a player supported company, having used life savings to start. We're not backed by anyone. Our ...
