It doesn't take much to please a DOS fan, does it? Just make a clone of a popular EGA performer & everyone is giggling like an idiot.
Well, I certainly was.
Remember wishing for more levels for the original Duke Nukem? Well, 22 years later you pretty much got your wish
The next step is obviously to clone a NOT popular EGA performer. Please, someone, make a clone of Dangerous Dave 2. I swear I'll pay.

Edutainment games often went about their "educational" aspect wrong, is all I'm saying.
Yes, most educational games are barely games, and those that are games often aren't really educational & just stop the game with annoying ?s
I've enjoyed The Organ Trail a lot more than The Oregon Trail
Cosmology of Kyoto is how you do edutainment right.

Not seeing The Hobbit this weekend because... it probably sucks & I'd like to avoid all the masses lining up to suck Peter Jackson's dick.
All I'm saying is that I was seriously disappointed by the first Hobbit film, but if it's your kind of thing then go see it by all means.
Also, this year's film output had been nothing short of pathetic. And then next year is shaping up to be a lot worse already.

While we're at it, why not bring Charles Callet in the mix? Goblins are not the same without the music.
RT @AveTory: @dosnostalgic Because Callet is dead...

Replying to @TheMorningSongs and @demodulated
Some? How about all of it? Dott, Full Throttle & the others are amazing. I was talking about games that...

So yeah, good morning, everyone! Today instead of #MorningDOSTalk I'd like to, like many others to sum up my year a bit.
Well, while it might have not been the best year of my personal life, it has definitely been a major improvement over 2012. And that's good.
But I was more looking at DOS Nostalgia on 2013. I might not have released many videos, but I think I made it up in Twitter participation.
I'm very grateful for all new Twitter followers I've made in 2013. And of course, the hardcore old ones. My days aren't the same without u!
In fact, because of Twitter I think DOS Nostalgia (and my life) is moving in a new (great) direction. I couldn't be happier.
And hey, I also started a podcast! Haha! Not a lot of episodes this year, but I loved doing it! Hopefully there's gonna be more of that.
It's been a pleasure to collaborate with some of you, and even to meet of you in person! It's always fun to find a fellow DOS enthusiast!
Hopefully, there's gonna be more content on DOS Nostalgia in 2014. I'm always open to suggestions. Especially for podcast topics.
So yeah, that's it. Thank you, guys & gals, for sticking around. Listening to me blabber about old shit & telling me your own stories. <3
Also, if any of you are also dancing your way into 2014 at Pacha NYC tonight, find me and say "KEN SENT ME"...
... And if I'm drunk enough I'll probably ask you to join me in the bathroom... I MEAN, I'LL HAVE A DRUNK WITH YOU!
Wow, I just remembered that Kyrandia 2 also came out in 1993! Holy fuck, I must be losing it...

Oh no. @ben_304 just ordered like 20 FILMS in a matter of minutes. I think we broke him.

All of that reminds me of ZX Spectrum porn emags, actually...

This should be a game show!

I was gonna go with Castle Wolfenstein, but there's too much interface on the bottom
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
Shit, I give up. I'm sure I could identify it if I wasn't at work staring at my phone
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
I'll guess it could be one of the early 1 screen platformers. Or an arcade conversion maybe
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
or maybe an RPG?
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
oh my God, it's fucking Rogue isn't it?
Replying to @GrundislavGames, @ben_304 and @demodulated
he better enjoy that all-Spanish road drama!
Replying to @GrundislavGames, @ben_304 and @demodulated
you fucking hipster!
Replying to @GrundislavGames, @ben_304 and @demodulated
I figured, because that could be the ONLY reason to hate on it
Replying to @GrundislavGames, @ArtfulGamer, @ben_304 and @demodulated
I've hated a lot of movies, but then I watch A LOT of movies.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer, @GrundislavGames, @ben_304 and @demodulated
I've never walked out on a movie. Although sometimes I really should have
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
It's almost impossible. The only thing that gave it away is exactly what confused me - interface
Replying to @MobyGamer, @lazygamereviews and @PushinUpRoses
Nice!
Replying to @GrundislavGames, @ArtfulGamer, @ben_304 and @demodulated
I sat through both of those
Replying to @antonymity
