…well, it’s certainly one of my two or three favorites in the game. And it’s probably the hardest non-optional stealth room in the game. Because I couldn’t screenshot from within the game, I took this shot with a digital camera. You’ve got to climb down that ladder, hide behind the crates at the base of […]

…except the name of the game does not have the word “poop” in it. Yeah, it’s juvenile. Yeah, it reminds me of some of the crude text adventures I’d played on my Commodore 64 when I was 14. And it bills itself as “survival horror”. But it’s old school in that it’s not easy. A […]

Video game reviews are big business now. And while I really didn’t want to get into the games review business when I started Lungfishopolis, I feel a need to bring peoples’ attention to a few games which got a lot of terrible reviews, but which I found to be very good games. I’ve played all […]

I don’t know how it’s possible, but I hadn’t heard of EasyTutu until just this weekend. This project is completely made of win. It’s developed by the Pocket Plane Group, and the bottom line is that it takes the Baldur’s Gate 2 engine, and lets you play Baldur’s Gate 1 with all the enhancements of […]
