doing some visual design research on isometric tile-based games and came across this incredible screenshot from Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye

that entire screenshot was drawn with just *sixteen colours*

(click screenshot to view as razor sharp pixels)

A screenshot from a game. A modal dialogue shows an elderly bearded advisor saying "All voices are raised with thanks and high praise to the Goddess."

Above it: illustration of a man waving his hand over a bull as its handler stands by.

Below them is an isometric tile map showing a little island with trees surrounded by a sea.


OMG. You can buy the original Fallout game for £2 at Gog.

TWO POUNDS.

I think the nostalgia hit I got at the POSSIBILITY of playing it again was probably worth that.

Content warning: long "introduction" (even though I have been here a while at time of writing)


In Duck Hunt the NES Zapper worked by blacking out screen & drawing white blocks around targets when you fire, for a couple frames. The diode in the Zapper detects the change in light intensity and tells the computer if it’s pointed at a lit target. #gamedev #retrogaming

It's been a while since I got anything retro (mostly for financial reasons - had to put away the spare earth-dollars to buy a new laptop later this week) but... I broke my rule and got some shiny things.

First up came this morning: yet another Game Boy - this time the GBC! I've never even SEEN one in person. And I must say, it's MAJESTIC. My first GBC game arrives tomorrow.
