Unlike Barbwire, I like the high res portrait better.

Upgrading every asset to this resolution is no small task though.

[Billy Masters Was Right]

New month, new proposition:

Billy Masters Was Right

Poor Billy's been grounded and his credibility has reached an all-time low.
Not the best time to stick his nose in the neighbor's affairs - or is it?

Let's enjoy this first foray by Postmodern Adventures in the English-speaking world. It's short but perfectly Mastered.

Proposition for April:

GNRBLEX (Steam Version)
It says "This is a commercial game" but it's free.

Here's the teaser:

- What's the cute animal behind the glass?
- It's a GNRBLEX, also known as a 'mind maggot'.
- Why the nickname?
- You don't want to know.

[Broken Windows - Chapter 1]

Since it's already late in the month, I propose another game in the meantime:

Broken Windows - Chapter 1

"There's no shortage of fan-games oozing with love of the golden classics on AGS.
Yet, they are not fairly distributed and some popular series get overlooked over time, such as Sierra's Police Quest.
Fortunately, you can count on GOC Games to recapture what made it so special."

I've enjoyed What's in the safe by the Space Quest Historian and the late Amayirot Akago a while ago. I wanted to submit it for game pick. However, it's not in the AGS database currently.

Although I didn't work on the game, could I create an entry for it?

I didn't know YMO. Very nice mix of funk and early electronic music   

My parents love that stuff:

The reggae cover of Mr Kite is great too.

A melodious song from the Residents (for once):

It was Wake up calls by Orisinal Games (Ferry Halim).

Anyone can have the next turn.

The author made quite a lot of small games:

Hint : it's a flash game.

Thank you Saturday Video Crapshoot.

Excuse me for the late reply. Josiah got it.

Reminds me of one of those Time Machine games from the 90's? I forget the exact name - Trapped in Time or Timekeeper or just The Time Machine?

Maybe you were refering to this game
I remember it from a magazine. It looks pretty but static.

Manannan, do you mean Time Commando by any chance? : )

I loved that one. Impressive beat them all back in the day.

Let's see if someone else has played that:

Action fighter?

Exactly, most millennials couldn't care less if a YouTuber says the F-word, but advertisers are terrified they'd get associated with something that could get the Midwestern US christian moms into a moral panic

Sometimes, the creators themselves resort to self-censorship out of fear.

Apparently, that's what's happening with Commandos 2 HD remastered. I find it sad when a company claiming to make a game set in World War II decides to remove any symbols, portraits, speeches or other assets that could break the law in many countries - namely anything that connects it to reality.

Since no law could force them to remove the japanese flags, they seem to be more royalist than the king.

My pleasure 

I've rephrased the last sentence:

With a style reminiscent of the best european comics Lorenzo builds a lousy spaceship, yet a solid comedy.

[Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Buy a Used Spaceship]

Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Buy a Used Spaceship

All space travellers will tell you: many merchants are not too fussy about the security of their customers. Poor Clotilde should have read the title of her first adventure!

With a style reminiscent of the best european comics, Lorenzo builds a solid spaceship comedy.

Laura made me want to listen to Chelsea Wolfe. I love this one:

They mixed two versions of the same song.

the tapes I recorded off the radio in the nineties

I didn't record many tapes but I burnt a lot of CDs:

[Ju]

Don't know about the answer, but I noticed this in the first sentence:

Judith married Stephen and they named their firstborn Mary.
=Just married

Man n fist, I love how you balance Pulp with Emperor in your last two posts. It's quite a leap
