I recently stumbled upon the press kit CD for Ultima IX: Ascension - it includes screenshots, renders, sketches, ads, and interviews with the U9 team. I made a post about it here and a video of the contents: gameloadedmuseum.wordpress.com/2026/03/23/u... YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aJB...

Today’s #RandomGameSaturday is Quake II, because I started playing it again yesterday. It’s not without its flaws, but it was much more what I wanted from a Doom follow-up than Quake was. Between this and Goldeneye, it was a point at which full polygon FPS games finally brought the action.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate turned your DOS PC into a consistent (albeit fantasy) world where NPCs kept schedules, bread baked, and Britannia felt astonishingly real. I'm sure you'd agree that many modern RPGs still owe it a debt. Here's the full intro sequence: youtu.be/3IUS6WN1Wec

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

There's a widespread misconception that Nintendo Directs killed E3. This is not true. What actually killed E3 was the industry's shift from physical to digital games. Here is a video about it www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnGr...
