    The window has long fascinated artists as both a provider of light and a demarcation line between the inner world and the limitless exterior world. Through windows we look, ponder, dawdle, and occasionally flee. The finest artists have come back time and again to this theme, employing it to harmoniz [...]

    You know, sometimes, I think… why do others have a huge audience for covering old games, even make a living out of it? But then I rationalise: these people could never cover a game like Ruff ‘n' Tumble. Under the radar even at the time of its original release. No cult following developed since the [...]

    Animals have captivated artists throughout the centuries, not only for their beauty but for the raw spirit they embody. Portrayed as emblems of power, survival, or isolation, wildlife often resonates within our primal psyche. Some works of art glorify their grandeur, others the violence of the natur [...]

    The creator of Tanglewood is related to the gaming industry by profession and, according to his own statements, simply wanted to create a game for a retro console where he could give free reign to his own creativity. The game, which began as a Kickstarter project, is undoubtedly technically sophis [...]

    Electronic Arts asked, in their advertising campaign, Can a computer make you cry? Implying that their games may just be able to do that. Meanwhile, the competition was way ahead of them; Planetfall did just that instead of just speculating about it.

    I know, the 10th anniversary is still a month away but I just had to release my C64 demo early because it was finished and I couldn't hold myself back any longer. Download: csdb.dk/release/?id=253137 Details: jmin.at/Release.000039

    I'm used to playing Star Wars on my arcade cab these days, so revisiting it on C64 and a joystick sucks bit time; plugging in a mouse smoothes things out, but IMHO is just plain cheating.

    I do love boxes with gatefold covers and cutouts and both are supported here for their 3D versions. Further, there's boxes that come with a sleeve and guess what, jep, those are supported now too.

    This post has two interesting aspects: It will disappear when it’s finished what it set out to do, and it’s also a fundraising for another fundraiser. This is the 20th anniversary of the BBS Documentary, my 2005 released DVD box set. The work was always open licensed and it can be downloaded very ea [...]

    This first paragraph is a paradox. I want you to go to a funding campaign and click on a button and support a project. But the project is one that expects you to be the kind of person who loves reading. I personally think there might be a slight amount of people who don’t have […]

    Dear Freesounders, Believe it or not, Freesound is turning 20 years old in 2025! We couldn’t be prouder of what Freesound has become after all these years. Freesound numbers are growing year after year (if you have not done it … Continue reading →

    One can choose to focus on the car crash, or the lessons learned from the car crash. Let’s do a little of both. The proposition of the Living Computer Museum was initially simple, and rather amusing in a Slashdot-baity sort of way: You could apply to get an account on a real, actual ancient Mainfram [...]

    Imagine, if you will, a vast river. It flows fast, so fast that when you look away and look back it’s in many ways an entirely different river, not just a slightly different one. It used to be blue with an occasional brown or black. Nowadays, it’s basically brown and black and a signficant amount [… [...]

The logic gates and memory cells consist of moving and moved plates with cutouts, coupled by switching pins, grouped into layers, grouped i [...]
