Silica were once the UK's largest Amiga retailer, so it's fascinating to read about their history and the interviews with ex-staff members who worked in their mail order division and high street shops. We hope you enjoy the magazine which is now on pre-order: https://www.addict.media
]]>What’s everyone been shooting on lately?
]]>These days, social norms feel much more accepting. Rappers reference Naruto, PS5s are in living rooms instead of basements, and I have no problem telling my wife I’m playing Elden Ring for a few hours.
Do you think gaming and “nerd culture” have become more mainstream, or is it just about growing up and becoming more confident?
]]>Bloom was a visual novel/relationship sim/business sim with a real-time clock and time delay between events that would give you reason to check in every now and then with no consequence for waiting too long.
Voidblazers is a narrative-based vertical SHMUP that I ended up playing through 5 times so I could unlock all the items and thereby unlocking all the dialog. The ship upgrades are collected early, the rest of the items are things that prompt the loveable characters to talk interact and talk. It’s not too difficult and has assist options if you just can’t get past something. Also, the entire soundtrack is full of bangers!
Echo: The Oracle’s Scroll, a chill exploration-focused metroidvania. Reminds me a bit of the Momodora series but without the combat. It does suffer slowdown which made some of the obstacles impossible to beat if your RAM hadn’t been cleared. A recent update improved that so there’s less slowdown.
Next 2 games in the queue are Initial Daydream and The Heist of the Argonaut Limited.

Enjoy !
And I figured people here might be interested in it.

All in all its under 5 million.
Which is less then expected , by me at the very least.
But I am not really au fait with the Amiga as is.
I have recently bought an Atari 2600+, which is great. I am loving Adventure and Yar's revenge on the provided 10 in 1 cart. Amazon have stock of the reprints and older carts, eBay also has older carts for sale.
However I have realised that CEX doesn't appear to stock Atari 2600 or 7800 games!
Anyone know anywhere in the real world that stocks them?!
Or any good places online if not?
An exploit rated 9.8/10 compromises all windows devices with an IPv6 adress
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2024-38063
MS has issued a patch around 14 August.
So if you haven't updated yet now is the time.
Isnt windows marvelous ? (sarcasm)
]]>Also in both NintendoLife and Time Extension, YouTube videos do not load. It's just a black square where the video should be and nothing is clickable inside the square. There is text and a link to subscribe to NintendoLife at the bottom. If a link to the actual video could be placed there too, that would be a good workaround if it's not possible to fix the embedded YouTube videos themselves.
Hope someone can look into this. Thanks!
]]>Next month, ie tomorrow, I plan to do one of those self imposed challenge things.
And that is to play nothing but Wii U games for the entire month of June.
It helps thats i have a fairly decent Wii U library, so it wont be too rough.
...Hopefully.
Anybody else ever done something like this ?
]]>So I have boxes and boxes of both tapes and floppy discs for the C64.
A lot of the tapes are compilations.
Most of the discs are, to be honest, ripped games with a menu built in to each disc.
Is there a company that would take these for archiving or able to convert them to ROMs for me or something.
I know they are just going moldy in there which is sad as I have a lot of really random games in there and don't want them to go to waste.
To be honest I have not tested them out for over 30 years so god knows if any of them still work. They have been in my fathers loft for around 20 years (nice and dry) and now are in my bunker under my house (hence the username :P)
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers, ]]>
May take extra effort as I’ll be trying it out on my hacked Genesis mini. MAME is real hit-or-miss on there.
