this thread has a wide topic. i made it so i could link to a let's play of this cyberpunk FMV game i learned about because i came across its manual in MADE library:

i’ve been reverse engineering a game from my childhood and re-implementing its engine. it is surprising how much just writing code helps in reverse engineering to understand algorithms.
the game? relatively obscure and hasn’t held up - Gubble 2
the game? relatively obscure and hasn’t held up - Gubble 2
I HAVE PLAYED THIS
i recently loaded up an xstation with a bunch of stuff from redump....i got gubble 2 purely based on the name/cover. i absolutely could not figure out how to play.

it's a tonic for the cyber soul, no doubt.i recommend watching a playthrough of Burn:Cycle, too, if you haven't already.

hey look, this strange 1992 DOS tarot card software i found at a Vintage Computer Fest years ago is finally up on the archive and emultable!
https://archive.org/details/world_of_tarot
the most amusing thing about it, to me, is how you have to provide your own random numbers between 1 and 99999

I loved the ad game Fessie räumt auf (Fessie is tidying up) as a kid, which is a boulder-dash-like by a German garbage disposal company in which you play as a trash collecting, fire spewing dragon (with kewl Reggae kinda music playing in the background). We must have first played it around 2001-2002, and liked it so much, my sister and I even made a dumb board game version because only my dad had a PC at the time.
I just found this after a quick google search: https://web.archive.org/web/20160826141 ... _auf_0.zip and it seems to work with wine 11.0 on my Fedora 43 Linux
I'm really glad some people bothered to archive and preserve it

:) i am still at level 7 right now~fruit that trash pickup game is amazing....
also the tarot game just told me im gonna break up
(i picked 42 and 69 as random numbers 
)(it is very cool, apparently wine ships with "dosbox", so i could run it with that; the UI of world of tarot is great! i also tried selecting the "print reading" afterwards but that made it crash, would be funny if one could get an old printer and actually print it.)
