So I'm getting close to finish all the "most official" #Doom expansions. There's of course a lot more Doom engine games to play (plus Doom 64, for which I need to figure out a good way to play it). Wondering if I should aim for Duke Nukem 3D engine games next for a change.

I know there are plenty of video games that feature cars... but are there any that feature bikes?
(And no, not goddamn motorcycles! Actual bicycles.)

2000s: big game companies publish their old games for free download, because they aren't selling them anymore, and who would buy them anyway? Also, that's good marketing to sell new games.
2020s: big game companies are impotent to make new games that aren't crap. Instead, they keep selling old games, remasters of old games (both "enhancing" and "retro" remasters) and reboots of old games.

Just finished the game "Arco". It's a masterpiece. Wonderfully evocative setting and writing, excellent systems with top-notch ludonarrative harmony, and complex characters that you love while also seeing their not-so-great sides.
For once in a violence-centric game I get to be murdering colonizers instead of metaphorical stand-ins for indigenous people? Feels excellent.
The systems and abilities did a great job of keeping things balanced too, with definite power growth but growing costs too, letting the tactics remain important throughout. After playing Flamberge, I was worried it might feel too fiddly, but it doesn't at all, and the ghosts mechanic really pushes you to play quickly.

So this is an old paper, but I was reviewing some stuff and re-read it just now, and was once again glad that people are doing research like this, and that the results are so lovely. A great antidote to despair about "human nature" is to just look at what kinds of communities kids can actually make for themselves when given a positive framework to work from and actual agency.

I have never played Rogue but as far as I can tell it must have every type of game in it. Every game you read about claims to be Rogue-like.
It's a shooting game, it's a racing game, it's a climbing game, it's a strategy game, it's an action game.
Maybe I should play it some time and see if that adjective 'rogue-like' means as little as it seems.

Sometimes I recall some random game that I've played as a kid, then I try to find it. Sometimes I'm really surprised what kind of #games got my way back then.
> a budget RTS game that takes place in an alternate history 17th century Europe where the “Russes” and “Cathayans” must fight back an invasion from the Atlantic crossing Aztecs (who have already conquered France, Germany, and Spain)

Although the visualizer is still a bit rough, I've put together an index page where you can now download maps/stats, but also go straight to visualizations of exploration traces for the games I've been mapping (mostly Metroidvanias). The visualizer doesn't show multiple links or complex requirements well yet, and layouts are a challenge. But you can click around and see stuff, and the CSV files have interesting stats now (just submitted a paper for EXAG 2026 talking about metrics for discrete exploration games).
