We moved the #Amiga set, that @thgie acquired last week (https://post.lurk.org/@thgie/110899430295139256), to the informal game lab at the University of Bern today.
Everything was still running fine, and @addrich and @thgie started with digging through the floppy haul. So far, nothing extraordinary. We'll see what is working and try to create a catalogue.
Among the generally popular, mostly copied games, we also found some slightly underground-ish releases from a group called Helioth Productions. They distributed collections with demos, cracked games, and tools.
There was also a hacked variant of "Amiga Tetris", called "Tetris Sex Special" by Sky Devils/BillyJohn, where they replaced all the backgrounds with softporn 🫣

I read an interesting fact about the last Nintendo Wii game being released in 2019. But was Just Dance 2020 really the last Wii game? I decided to investigate and learned that the answer depends on where you ask, but Just Dance 2020 was at least the last Wii game in North America.

Superb new video from @hotcyder:
This Video Game Belongs in a Museum

"What’s that one video game you’ve always wanted to play, but for one reason or another couldn’t? For me it was 2016's Multibowl: a competitive video game mixtape, curated by QWOP and Getting Over It creator Bennett Foddy. A month ago it was the one game I always wanted to play, today it’s the one game I want everyone to play. Here's why.”

"This report was an attempt to provide a scholastic explanation for something #gamers already intrinsically know: it is hard to play #OldGames, it is only getting harder, and if something more substantial is not done to preserve and make more widely accessible what little we have left, we will lose #VideoGameHistory." #VideoGames
Almost 90 percent of #ClassicGames are ‘critically endangered,’ say archivists - The Verge

Happy #Bungie Day!
Here's a mini-doc I made 7 years ago about the company's indie roots, and the straight line that can be drawn from today back to their (largely forgotten) earliest titles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1x2sNtYVBo
