It's definitely cool that they're still around. It's pretty cool to see the homebrew community still creating decent work for the 8-bit as well. I checked out the Bubble Bobble port and it looks amazing...

2024 WIP Games


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-20-2025

Wow, I am going to need to dig in and check out some of these.  It looks like there are some really decent releases still getting added to the library.  Oh, and today, I learned that there was a snowball fight released for the ST too...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-20-2025

And today I downloaded it and I think the 8-bit version is better. Although, when you "kill" your opponent he runs off the screen calling for his mom. And while I was downloading that, I had to get another classic. No way this would see the light of day in today's world...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-21-2025

For such a simple concept, and game, snowball fight on the 8-bit was a ton of fun.  Now imagine what they could have done if they added it as a plugin to a BBS like Express Pro.  You ran the game locally then connected to a BBS that had the game plugin running.  From there you could snowball fight against one or more others from the comfort of your basement...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-21-2025

Oh man, that would have been an awesome idea. The loser gets kicked off and loses all their time for the rest of the day. The winner gains extra minutes. I almost forgot I had daily time limits for how long you could use the BBS per day...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-22-2025

Holy crap that's harsh.  The last thing they see for the day is an ATASCII death pointing their bony finger at the exit...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-22-2025

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-23-2025

What happens when your BBS is the only one worth dialing in to?  So the bony finger of death tells you to shut off the computer and go outside and play.  But all of your friends are still on the BBS...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-23-2025

That's when you create another user and hope the SysOp doesn't find out...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-27-2025

Fat chance of that happening on your BBS.  You would have seen right through that ruse, even if my evil twin and I hated each other...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-27-2025

You would have to be very cognizant of each personality to pull off an evil twin. I learned a lot about the behavior of people with the BBS. Most are very predictable since it's quite common for everyone to have a certain routine. When someone did try the multiple users, they would always log in with one right after the other and do the same routine. There's been times when they would write a post and sign it as their other account user name, then go back in and edit to put remove/change that. Oh look, I'm not going to delete you, I'm just going to give you 1 minute max every day before auto logoff. I think that's more insulting...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-29-2025

I'm sure it was interesting watching people on the BBS, a lot like watching people while sitting on the bench on the boardwalk...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-29-2025

It was interesting, but not even as remotely interesting as the people watching on that boardwalk in Rehoboth...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-30-2025

People watching at Rehoboth was always a highlight every year.  You definitely can and do see some strangeness come out on parade....


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 06-02-2025

I certainly don't get out as much anymore - and when I do I try to make sure it's an area with as little as people as possible. So I mostly only get to make fun on this goober...
