Here's a cool #DOSGaming video: someone was intrigued by many aspects of an obscure 1996 shareware game, so they tracked down its author for an interview, and to archive the game's interesting soundtrack:

YOUR sound card works perfectly. 🫵👍

Turns out the author of Kinetic Worm Dimension, a fast paced "three dimensional" implementation of Snake, still had a backup of the original 1999 DOS version of the game. It was previously unpreserved on the Internet, so he decided to share it.

All versions are now available for download here: https://archive.org/details/kinetic-worm-dimension-v111

Yo, listen up, here's a story

Downloaded an emulator for Japanese mobile phones of the 2000s, and was shocked to learn that Japan got an exclusive fully 3D SimCity mobile game, apparently.

This must be a killer app.

Game Boy Color has these adorable ports (I guess they can be called official "demakes") of Heroes of Might & Magic games that feel like a missing link between Heroes and King's Bounty.
First game is basically Heroes 1, but the second game is more like Heroes Greatest Hits.

Many love "PaRappa the Rapper", but not many know of Rodney Greenblat's earlier works. Like the 1994 CD-ROM "Dazzeloids", for example. You may not be ready for it:

@hj that's a Mastodon.

If you'd like to try it out yourself, two brand new ISOs for the English version (published in the Netherlands in 1999 as "GAG: The Impotent Mystery") are now on the Internet Archive.
Unlike ISOs that have already been floating around the Web for 20 years, these are not damaged, and the game is fully completable:
