3. Captain Blood - my first introduction to Weird French Shit With Graphics and Sound, which on the Atari ST is practically a genre on its own 4. Railroad Tycoon - I was also a train nerd kid 5. Yolanda - You kids have Dark Souls et al and we had this and Rick Dangerous

1. War in Middle Earth - this is the first game I ever bought entirely on the basis of being a Tolkien nerd kid 2. Damocles - it's obviously a mostly-empty game world but it feels full of stuff and the references make it seem a bit like a dream (hard to explain)

So having done the "20-Day Game Challenge 🎮🕹️👾 Choose 20 video games that greatly influenced you. No explanations, no reviews, just pictures." thing and made a thread that doesn't seem to work I thought I'd sum it up (and make another thread) and add some thoughts.

I got served this incredible advert over on twitter. It's a book summary written by AI but I bet the book is AI too. It's just so incredibly stupidly funny and every time I read it I start WHEEZING

There's no way to prepare you for this.

"Kindle edition now complete with cover!!

Raphael, a young man in his mid-thirties, returns to the rustic coastal village of Hopetown, where he spent the last few days with his son, Clay, before his son suffers an unfortunate, near-sudden death in a devastating car crash, and during which he, the father, was driving.  Join him as he relives the anguish, the blatant incredulity, the consequent meltdown and intermittent pangs of guilt, and which are then followed by an unfathomable void alternating with a sudden surge of emotion, all in that order, on realising that things had forever changed.

While reviving memories, he also crosses paths with a roaming woman spirit of the sea, who claims that he needs her and that she knows Clay's whereabouts, and who is continuously transforming as the relationship grows.  The story also teases a complex interplay of emotions and secrets, as some friends also introduce him to Celine, another young woman, who initially seems to be the perfect antithesis of the other woman, and yet is vaguely similar to the other woman in some ways, also setting the stage for an unpredictable narrative in subsequent parts."

Actually sobbing and it's like the ninth time I've read this lol

Post a random game in your collection, here on Saturday. Another Atari ST rarity, yes it is in a VHS case with the none-spine sides covered in a green cardtable-ish fabric. Bonus sharks in the background because they're card sharks, obviously.
