I love this blog. It reminds me of the early 2000s, with Seanbaby, Zeroes Unlimited, and other funny long-form video game content in text, back before the Angry Videogame Nerd made it almost a prerequisite to make this kind of thing a video.

Too bad it hasn't been updated since before COVID.

I never played this, but it reminds me the C64 Ghostbusters game which I loved!

That was a great one, as was the Alien game. I'm sure there was shovelware crap too, but it seems (in the glorious golden hindsight of the past) like IP was treated better. Or maybe I just didn't care because I was young or because I owned Fast Hack'em and had a few friends with C64s too.

Thanks for this, I don't think I ever even saw this game. For game players of that era, I had to immediately delete an email (I think I found the site via HN) yesterday informing me of David Crane's newest Atari 2600 game. https://adgm.us/portal/guide03A.html?v=20251008

> Is this theory a complete load of horseshit? Absolutely, but like I said I ended up watching more Fireman Sam than I ever expected and I had to find some way of getting through it.
Yeah, that's a pretty good summary of the show.

Fireman Sam and Chuckie Egg are the only 2 games my grade school had for the BBCMicro.
...I wonder how many hours I've put into those games. Chuckie Egg is where the dopamine hits are tho.

It was great on ZX Spectrum too! Probably the only platformer I ever finished.
