Discovered an abandonware copy of Seven Cities of Gold. It's a DOS version that's different from my old C-64 copy, but it's familiar enough. My goal is to prove to B that Europeans had no choice but murder native peoples.
AAAUGH! Sonofabitch! Why didn't I hear about this when it was still up?!?! I lost all 6 years of tattered issues from my subscription a decade ago.

I randomly thought about this game this morning. Think it was from around 1995. It was creepy as hell - weird stop motion animation. Story was based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The characters looked like they were modeled in clay - weird, exaggerated features. William S. Burroughs did a large chunk of the voice work. Thomas Dolby did the music. It was one of those games that came and went without much notice - not sure how I even picked it up. Probably just happened upon it while browsing the racks at Best Buy. I think I still have it packed away.

Wow, had no idea Burroughs did vo work for computer games. Should have arranged a heavily licensed rifle range simulator. Billy Burroughs' William Tell Overture, with his grinning face on the cover, as he gives a thumbs up.

Folks, Return To Monkey Island is so, so goooooooooooooooooooooooood.
When I saw "Vintage Videogaming" my first thought was that I wanted to post something about Monkey Island!? I loved, loved, loved those games back in the day. I have not yet played Return to Monkey Island, but it's on my to do list. LucasArts had some of the best games ever: Monkey Island series, Loom, The Dig, Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones, Full Throttle. I think most are still available on Steam.
Ugh, I hated those games with the track ball in the arcade (Pole Position had that, too, I think). You ended up scraping skin off the palm of your hand.

It’s actually much better on a PC using a mouse, more control IMO.
