It’s my (Bob’s) personal opinion that if you don’t have […]

It looks like the administrator of the Assembler Games forum has announced that it will be closing next month in June due to financial reasons. Forum users have publicly offered to donate to keep the site alive, but the administrator hasn’t responded to anyone publicly as of the time of this post: https://assemblergames.com/threads/this-forum-to-close-in-30-days.71032/ OPINION (Bob’s): As […]
Knights of Bytes have just shown a teaser of their 2017 hit Commodore 64 game Sam’s Journey running on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The C64 edition of the game was available to purchase both as a physical disk, as well as a digital download. I hope they’ll offer the same with the NES version, as […]
