i’ve never seen anyone talk about the pc game delver
it’s weird because though i like it a lot, it’s not really my usual kind of game, and it is the kind of game you’d expect to have some popularity
I made up a whole ZIP with the download and necessary DLLs and install instructions should anyone here care to try out a piece of zombie game genre history. It’s a little choppy if you’ve got stuff running in the background, but it still works! Really hope they do a proper port/update someday.

wander a creepy horror movie-like abandoned building
that reminded me of the 2007 Venice Biennale’s Australian pavilion, very weird to see a 3/4 model of the artist’s childhood home in the back of a palazzo
(Callum Morton’s Valhalla, first work in above)
Gibson/Martelli had their Summerbranch work exhibited in the same pavilion, same sort of deal as SwanQuake except dryads dancing in the New Forest. I played it, I’m contributing *and* on-topic

Oh fuck yeah I forgot I played that
It was extremely alright, didn’t offend my sensibilities at all but did nothing for me either. I’m glad someone enjoys it because it seemed exactly my kinda shit but just didn’t grab me

did anyone else play this? it’s one of the main games i recall from the shareware cd era. good implementation of turn-based combat where the game pauses every couple of seconds and the orders you give play out simultaneously with the rest of the world

Eradicator looked similar to build engine games but it was, as far as I know, a totally original engine. A lot of first person platforming!

Thread title made me think of old type in games, from way back when magazines would include basic programs to type in and debug yourself, and I wonder if there is a collection of those anywhere. I remember an kind of ok clone of arcade star wars for the Apple II called Duck Soup that entertained me as a wee urchin

Gaming Alexandra’s had a group pulling these out of magazine scans. They’ve been trying to improve OCR tools to do it automatically, but it doesn’t seem to be fully functional yet.
