@c64boy @juanfr Knowing about Gargoyle and how their games work became a passion of mine. From the day I first saw #TirNaNog I was 'blown away'

I've updated my annotation of the #ZXSpectrum game #TirNaNog code @ http://www.luny.co.uk/sinclair/gargoyle/tirdis/

These words of #Niamh of the Golden Hair sparked in Oisin a irresistible craving to live with her in the #Otherworld:
“Delightful is the land beyond all dreams,
Fairer than aught thine eyes have ever seen.
There all the year the fruit is on the tree,
And all the year the bloom is on the flower.

There with wild honey drip the forest trees;
The stores of wine and mead shall never fail.
Nor pain nor sickness knows the dweller there,
Death and decay come near him never more.

The feast shall cloy not, nor the chase shall tire,
Nor music cease for ever through the hall;
The gold and jewels of the Land of Youth
Outshine all splendours ever dreamed by man.

Thou shalt have horses of the fairy breed,
Thou shalt have hounds that can outrun the wind;
A hundred chiefs shall follow thee in war,
A hundred maidens sing thee to thy sleep.

A crown of sovranty thy brow shall wear,
And by thy side a magic blade shall hang,
And thou shalt be lord of all the Land of Youth,
And lord of Niam of the Head of Gold.”

I've been having another look at my #TirNaNog disassembly notes the last couple of days and have updated my annotations. If you are interested in how old games worked check out:

#Niamh, Princess of the Golden Hair, had fallen in love with #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Otherworld. The beauty with the shining eyes pulled him onto her fine white horse with golden reins. Without a look back #Oisin went over seas and plains and mountains far out to sea on a magical island, Tir Tairngiri (“land of promise”). ´There they lived in a swoon of happiness made even more blissful by the birth of their daughter Plur na Mban (“flower of womanhood”). `

#TirNaNog in #Space? How about…

#Fairy Rings: moon-sized emergency trans-light portals to the #Fae Throneworld.

“Never eat offered food” ‘cause it’s rife with #midichlorian style #magic parasites that might grant powers but will definitely anchor you to this region until you purge them.

A black hole for magic, which causes all those legendary time effects if you’re not properly shielded.

Glamour nebulae that trick all your navigation instruments.

Space #unicorns!

#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: #Oisin, `the little fawn`, was found as a naked boy of about seven by his father, #FinnMacCool, on the old magic mountain #Benbulbin. He became a warrior-poet of the #Fianna, living 300 years in the land of eternal youth #TírNanÓg.
