Only a couple days left to apply, but this seems like a really nice grant program for people from underrepresented groups making puzzly games. (They have a broad definition that includes Myst and Obra Dinn as examples. The eligible groups are extensive too.) Recipients get both money and mentorship.

I love the artwork of this graphic adventure game for the C64. "Stifflip & Co. (Palace Software, 1987) is set in the early 20th century, between the two World Wars, and affectionately parodies the character and attitudes of the later British Empire."

Stellar 7, designed/developed by Damon Slye in 1983-84. He co-founded Dynamix (known for Red Baron, Rise of the Dragon, Adventures of Willy Beamish, etc.) in 1984 and this was their first release. I played it on the Apple II back in the day but this title screen shot is from the C64 version.

Did you know that in Space Quest 1 if you stand below the acid pool, you can drink from it, and... perish. Cool animation. I didn't know this till today because if you just type 'drink' when you stand to the left of the pool the game just gives you the generic 'That does not compute.' #spacequest

Highlight include an “I love my crab” bumper sticker a “SWAB” button, and a speedometer that goes from 0 to FAST.
