We have to talk about #BaywatchNights. The first episode isn&#39;t half bad, with the deception theme and a prototypical femme fatale. It delivers on thrills and mystery. Just wish the other two detectives would have more relevant roles. Thread continues.

What happens when someone doesn&#39;t just try to copy an arcade hit, but thinks how something similar could make sense in a home computer environment? You get #Druid! https://www.goodolddays.net/en/game/Druid/ #Firebird #C64 #RetroGaming

#WildPalms, episode 1. #KimCattrall says to #JamesBelushi: &quot;Harry, this is William Gibson.&quot; I&#39;m thinking, that&#39;s a funny choice for a character name in a series about virtual reality. Who walks up? The actual #WilliamGibson! Making a cameo as himself.

Before Betrayal at Krondor, #Dynamix was already dungeon crawling. #SwordOfKadash mashes up Rogue, Wizardry and Gauntlet into 256 hand-crafted screens of real-time, trap-filled brutality. It&#39;s not fair, it&#39;s not gentle, but it might be the most atmospheric 8-bit crawl you&#39;ve never played. Save states recommended. Imagination required. https://www.goodolddays.net/en/game/Sword-of-Kadash/ #C64 #AppleII

It&#39;s the best #KingsQuest ever made -- and that&#39;s the problem. Professional voice acting ✓ Lip-synced animations ✓ CD-ROM production values ✓ ...and yet the finale devolves into pixel-hunting death traps. Why #KingsQuestVI&#39;s polish couldn&#39;t fix its conservative soul. https://www.goodolddays.net/en/game/Kings-Quest-VI-Heir-Today-Gone-Tomorrow/ #DOSGaming #SierraOnLine #GirlInTheTower
