Last week I played «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» for the first time (review in PC Games 6/93 📰: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). It’s bigger and more polished than the original, but it’s also less accessible. 🤷‍♂️ I quickly realized that I don’t enjoy this kind of puzzles. #games #33YearsAgo #DOS #PCgames

title screen of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» with mouse cursor and buttons that read: Play, Map, Intro, Prefs, Practice, Load, Save, the background shows a village with small huts and roofs made out of leafs

map screen in «Lemmings 2: The Tribe»: Twelve areas with different features (beach, stars, moon, mountain, pyramids …), each on containing one of the twelve puzzle pieces that in the end form a circle, the cursor is hovering above an area with something that looks like a dinosaur skeleton, the text at the bottom reads: Cavelems

intro sequence of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» and old and a young lemming sitting at a fireplace inside a hut, it’s night, blue light comes through the window, the fireplaces glows orange, there are books and the shelve, both lemmings look towards the players

ingame screenshot of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes»: several lemmings walking towards a sandcastle, others walking in the opposite direction towards a beach ball, there is a blue clowd in the sky, a palm tree and some beach houses in the lower part of the screen, the interface at the bottom shows different kinds of lemmings (one with jetpack, one with a light saber, another with some glue …)

One week ago we celebrated the end of the Press Start: Games Founding Grant in Berlin. 🥳 It was very emotional seeing those lovely people one more time. We talked, we hugged, we cried (a little) and we danced a lot! 💃 It was beautiful. Now we have to finish those games. 😅 (Photos: Hanns Schmelzer)

Almost forgot about «5.25 Day», but fortunately it’s still May 25th in Hawaii. 😮‍💨 So here goes my copy of Winter Games by Epyx (1985) for C64. 💾 Most games my brother and me played back then were on hand-labeled disks our father brought from university. 💼 #525day #floppy #retro #games #commodore #c64

«Star Wars – X-Wing» by LucasArts (Review: PC Games 5/93 www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...) was released #33YearsAgo.

One week ago at this time we packed up our booths at Baltic Games Fest. 🩵🩷 After showcasing «PuzzlePlants» in Leipzig (my “old home”) one week earlier, I especially enjoyed presenting the game to friends, peers and our local community. 🤲🌱 #balticgamesfest #indiedev #indiegames #cosplay #puzzlegames

Two cosplayers standing in front of the PuzzlePlants booth, on is one of the dark angles from Diablo, the other a Sith from Star Wars with a red light saber.

A group of four people are standing at booth playing. One has a brown dress, glasses and brown hair, the next one orange long hair and a checkered shirt, the third black hair and black clothes, the fourth a white shirt with flowers and blonde hair. The one with orange hair is moving a computer mouse on the table.

Played some «Transarctica» (a.k.a. Arctic Baron) today (reviewed in PC Games 4/93: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). ❄️🚂 I haven’t played this in about 30 years; I remember enjoying it a lot back then. Still incredible world building and pixel art. 😍 #games #33YearsAgo #PCgames #DOSgames #dosGaming

Two weeks ago I played some «The Incredible Machine» (covered in PC Games 3/1993: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). 🎈🔫🥊🎾This time I went for puzzle mode & solved 14 of them; it wasn’t that much fun, tho. Free experimentation was always the core of this game. 💁‍♂️ #PCgames #33YearsAgo #dosGaming #games

Figuring out an art style proves to be as hard as expected. 🙃 I have to be able to make assets myself in a timely manner. ⏱️ The style needs to communicate clearly and it should attract the eyes of the players. 👀 I am not there yet, but I keep trying. #indie #gamedev #indiegame #gameart #permaculture
