I have several games on technovisual.itch.io/ - a dungeon adventure, a space craft puzzle game but by a long way the most popular is the VR fitness game? You can play it on desktop and tablet but it's a VR first dev - I just thought that was interesting 😀

Did you use an Acorn Archimedes growing up, maybe in school? Or did you miss it entirely? It was a RISC based machine that arguably had a better spec than my Amiga 1200! See what you think of RISC OS and its games online here: archi.medes.live/ #controversial #Acorn

Thoughts from a dev’s wife:
Comparing one solo dev or a tiny indie team to a massive studio is wild. Like… come on. You don’t have to love every game, but at least respect the passion, talent, sacrifice, and years of work behind it. Constructive criticism is one thing. Trashing someone’s game just to make yourself look better is another.
Support what you love without tearing someone else down. 💜🙏

It’s 1983 and you're playing Star Wars at the arcades for the first time, after watching the movies. Words cannot describe it.
For perspective: other popular games around that time were Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Qbert, Joust, and BurgerTime... all great in their own way. But Star Wars literally catapulted you into a whole new universe.
The graphics were nuts, and so were the digitized voices and sound effects straight from the movie (“Use the Force, Luke!”). To top it all off, John Williams’s iconic score delivered maximum nerd chills.
This game will forever be linked to one of the best arcade eras ever.

A significant birthday for #Elite this year - the game is now 42 years old. Definitely the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything! The #MostlyHarmless combat ranking is another connection to Douglas Adams' #HHGTTG. I wonder what he would have made of #EliteDangerous?
ALT A still image of the spinning Cobra Mark 3 space ship at the start of Elite for the BBC Computer (Acornsoft, 1984). The text on the screen reads as follows:- ---- E L I T E ---- By D. Braben & I. Bell Load New Commander (Y/N)? (C) Acornsoft 1984
