💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 After a month of Doom, we thought it was funny to do a month of Loom. So that's what we did!

Loom (1990, Lucasfilm Games) is an atypical game, not only because of its unique fantasy setting, but also because it features a magical music-based user interface that doesn't show any verbs at all.

It's a beautiful little game that holds a special place in many of its players' hearts, and we want to hear all about it!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 We've done lots of combat sims over the years, but never before under water, which is what 1993's Subwar 2050 by Particle Systems and Microprose is all about!

Some say it's merely "aquatic Wing Commander", but when you dive into it (pun intended) there's quite a unique experience to be had at the bottom of the sea!

💾 NEW COMMUNITY PROJECT!💾 In March we revisited DOOM, the game with which we started the club all the way back in 2017.

During this month the club took it upon themselves to put together a complete custom episode WAD for vanilla Doom 1.

Nine people contributed work on putting together 8 maps, 1 secret map and a custom MIDI intermission track.

We're very proud of our awesome community and we hope you'll check out what we put together for you all!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 A while ago we held a poll here on Mastodon asking for a non-Lucas adventure game to play, and the winner was Beneath a Steel Sky (Revolution Software, 1994).

So that's what we're looking at in this episode!

Thank you for using LINC and be vigilant.

💾NEW PODCAST!💾 Back when we started out in 2017, one of our earliest members @toasty (being a keen cricket fan) asked "are there any cricket games for DOS?".

It turns out: there are! Lots of them, in fact.

We dove into the wacky world of DOS cricket and explored what's there.

Don't know how cricket even works? No worries, neither do we!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 In episode 95 we take a look at Wacky Wheels, developed by Beavis Soft and published by Apogee in 1994.

The SNES had Super Mario Kart, but we had Wacky Wheels and that's just as good, we thought. Especially those of us who hadn't played Super Mario Kart 😅

How does it hold up now? Let's find out!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 A while ago we looked at The Secret of Donkey Island (yes with a D).

This 1994 parody game made by two teenagers from Czech Republic became a surprise local hit. Now, almost 30 years later, an English translation has been made and it's available for free!

If that's not a great reason to check this out now, we don't know what is.
