Did NOT know the 90s Mac game Glypha got a modern remake that's now on Steam, 'Glypha Vintage'!

Glypha was a 90s Mac clone of Joust, and when I was a kid, this is one of the Mac games I was hooked on when the family got a Performa (I'm currently working on a blog post on my favorite 90s Mac games).

This is wild -- thanks to @1Bit for tipping me off to it!

store.steampowered.comGlypha: Vintage on SteamA fast-paced, Egyptian-themed jousting tournament recalls 1980's classic arcade action. Glypha is a rewrite of the classic shareware game from the early B&W Macintosh days. Smoother, faster, and harder than you remember.

Today (December 3) in 1993, Duke Nukem II was released for DOS. It was a vast improvement over the original Duke game, and it would be three more years until Duke would go 3D. Duke II is one of my all-time favorite 2D platformers (maybe my top favorite one) -- it's a total blast of a game. You can play Duke Nukem II via DOSGames.com (DOSBox) here: dosgames.com/game/duke-nukem-2

Today (September 9) is the 25th anniversary of the North American release of the SEGA Dreamcast.

I have strange Dreamcast story, I found one in my neighbor's trash a couple years back? 😂 Seriously, people throw out WILD stuff. It was IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX, too, with controllers and a game. 🤯 I just had to grab a cord. Now, I need to GDEMU it (the physical games I want are far too expensive).

My main goal is to play Gauntlet Legends on it. There's some shooters too.

But... mostly Gauntlet Legends. ⚔️🔥😂

Happy birthday, Dreamcast. Now you're 25 and you can finally rent cars.

Also, check out this great article on the Dreamcast from 1998 via web-japan.org that I got this post's image from: web-japan.org/kidsweb/archives

One wild thing I didn't know about Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny is that they were both banned in Germany in the 90s after they were released. If you want to hear the full history of that, the @dosgameclub guys and I talk about it here: dosgameclub.com/wolfenstein3d
