I like how the SNES cover for Ultima: The Black Gate makes me think the designer went "well if it's a gate, it's gotta have its keys right?"
I ended up playing quite a bit of Monster Party as recommended by @alexanderhad1.bsky.social, it definitely was something, too bad the game gets really frustrating by the final levels. But the fried tempura/onion ring monster? Lovely.
Time to bust out the 8 bit horror games, today at 5.30 PM (CET) I'll be playing a bunch of NES and Master System obscure titles of the horror variety, including those I played as a child and scarred me deeply. Any ones I should not miss? Live on www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...

It's spooptober again, and I'm busy writing about early survival horror stuff. Perfect time to look back at how it is still possible to appreciate the mechanics of what has often been called one of the worst horror games of the 80s, right? (and no, it's not the NES game).
Friday the 13th, among the original horror franchise, arrives on homecomputers with a scream and a machete. Get ready to die.
Writers: Repost a random piece you're proud of. Despite being basically forgotten by history, Kate Higby was one of the first women to work in the industry and even own a (small) company developing games. I was happy to retell, as best as I could, her story (and amazed the piece is still online!).
