I need to renew that number every now & then, and eventually a new number appears with the same ol' same ol' 🙈

I've uncovered more amazing material for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game that I was working on at Genepool Software. During mid/late 2003 we created a demo of the game for PC, XBOX and PS2 before it was canned. I have just found the Game Design Document, Mission Design Document and much, much more!

Merlin Enterprises missing games - Games That Weren't Merlin Enterprises was a mysterious publisher based in Torrance, California that exclusively advertized in Compute! in 1982-83. It seems none of the software titles mentioned has surfaced on any platf...

Thanks to Bertrand/AtariMania, we have added an entry for a set of Merlin Enterprises games from 1982-83 - intended for release for Atari 8-bit, Apple 2, Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64. All are currently missing. Can you help us recover them?

Extending the demo: Ridge Racer (PlayStation) Reverse engineering an early look at one of the first PlayStation titles

There's a PlayStation demo CD with a restricted build of *Ridge Racer*. It's from 3 weeks before the final, making it some of the earliest PlayStation software.

I patched out the limits to enable full access. There are lots of differences!

man.

I suppose, in some respects, we all become more like "baby" again as the body fails. Then again, I'd like to respect the concept of old age as it comes for all of us eventually.

It is often the most immature that tout their adulthood.

If ages limits are going to be raised to 25 for more places in USA (as there are bars starting to do this), I can only expect these immature types to claim they're "baby" in their fifties & onward, etc

most the maj jong tiles are tech related (computers, floppy disks, commodore logos, eletronic chips, multi-coloured screens). others include trees, english(?) flags).

All we get in our media are discussions about total costs and gas prices and inflation. We dehumanize everyone. Every person is second to the spreadsheet.

I've yet to comprehensively document Larry Elmore's video game art, but here is one I was unfamiliar with until now, Everquest: Depths of Darkhollow expansion (2005)

Promo of a refillable roller ball pen. Better prices can be found elsewhere. From: https://www.ebay.com/itm/389644121810

It's so good but keep those price checks in mind <_>

It was definitely tempting to bite the bullet on proper technical pens (💀), but thanks once again to the bootleg innovators lolw0w
I think at this point they can cover these lil pens at greater frequency! It is only a boon to the artist that loves to draw w/ballpoints have better refill options now

For the time being, I'm lucky to even find all this new info come around since I last researched many years ago y.y

...Bootleggers are pretty awesome in their own ways. Also since that time, they've managed to get a nice refillable 0.38 roller ball pen on the market ( & it's actually really good🧎)

Silicone tubing for quill/mapping nibs apparently are an idea some are tinkering with for their own pen mods. Pretty helpful, although I've yet to try just yet. Correct gauge seems to be the biggest concern, otherwise.
The tubing itself can be found in bulk relatively quickly, & prices are okay...

It's all for the love of the game, in one way or another🙇a big learning moment & good experience under your belt, plus it'd be a boon for other fans

Scientists may have discovered a brand-new mineral on Mars Scientists studying Mars may have uncovered a brand-new mineral hidden in the planet’s ancient sulfate deposits. By combining laboratory experiments with orbital data, researchers identified an unusual iron sulfate—ferric hydroxysulfate—forming in layered deposits near the massive Valles Marineris canyon system. The mineral likely formed when sulfate-rich deposits left behind by ancient water were later heated by volcanic or geothermal activity, transforming their chemistry.
