Very happy to have this game back in my collection 😀

I have many fond memories of it 💖

The first Final Fantasy to be translated into (rough) French and released on PC 💫

I've just played the demo of The Temple of the Three Rules!

It promises to be a very good adventure game in the tradition of Fate of Atlantis. Can't wait for the full game 😀

I've been wanting to play Heart of Darkness for a while now 😀

(for practical reasons, the version running is the PlayStation one)

This game is as beautiful as ever! 💖

@Mastodon Do you plan to add other merchandise? (mugs, etc.)

A tribute I paid to Prince of Persia a few years ago 😀

Jordan Mechner himself was inspired by a scene from the film Robin Hood for the sword fights ⚔️

C'était il y a 40 ans, en septembre 1984, que l'Amstrad CPC débarquait dans les foyers français 🎂 🎊 🇫🇷

Mon tout premier ordinateur personnel rien qu'à moi. Sur lequel j'ai programmé mes premiers jeux vidéos 🥰

(merci Papa ❤️ )

@Gargron @lukem @Mastodon Isn't it possible to open a store in Europe to reduce shipping costs? £130 / €150 is a lot!

@Mastodon Too bad shipping costs to France/Europe are so high 🙁

Here's what happens when you fail to Zak McKracken's copy protection 🏴☠️

It's funny 😁

Here's what the cover looks like when you open it! ?

On the left side, there's a description of the different elements of the UI. On the right, the biography of the main designers: Didier Bouchon (Code, Gfx) and Philippe Ulrich (Scenario).

A picture of the content ✨

With the nice poster of the galaxy (NASA photo) marked with the Metal Hurlant logo ⚡️ (the famous French comic magazine)

I think this is the first edition of the game!
