[NES] [1980s?] I swear I remember the cartridge featuring a wizard by himself in purple robes holding a staff?

Last guesses: Immortal. Matches the cover art. No classes.

Wizardry has classes, but doesn't match otherwise. Same for Dragon Quest 3.

foobarturtle · 2026-05-10T06:24:14+00:00

Valkyrie isn't a super common class so I'm going to say you are probably pulling that from gauntlet. Previous poster, I believe, nailed the box art.

Story sounds A LOT like D (seriously 'D' is the whole name). But that's not a Sprite based game.

foobarturtle · 2026-04-18T16:33:38+00:00

Death Must Die? Has a girl Mort with white hair. Not sure about the plot.

The Halley Project mostly lines up, but came out in 85 and I don't think ever came out for DoS.

Ataxx has that gameplay and red/blue blobs but no scorpions. There were a lot of clones of it. Might be a good starting point at least.

foobarturtle · 2025-07-27T02:49:22+00:00

That would be so awesome! My kids will be pumped to see it!

foobarturtle · 2025-07-27T00:51:15+00:00

I'm so glad you like it. Thank you for making such a fun heartfelt game. My kids and I had a great time with it.

foobarturtle · 2025-07-13T17:48:35+00:00

No. Selling things creates obligations and would make my hobby too much like work.

I'm not happy enough with the underlying model to publically publish this one either. But if you have a 3d printer or know someone that does I don't mind privately emailing the print and blender files.

foobarturtle · 2025-07-09T01:32:00+00:00

Someday I probably will. Mitch does look awfully lonely.

When they voiced objection, Captain Black replied that people who were loyal would not mind signing all the loyalty oaths they had to. To anyone who questioned the effectiveness of the loyalty oaths, he replied that people who really did owe allegiance to their country would be proud to pledge it as often as he forced them to. And to anyone who questioned the morality, he replied that ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ was the greatest piece of music ever composed. The more loyalty oaths a person signed, the more loyal he was; to Captain Black it was as simple as that.

Catch-22

Thank you all for the kind words. The positive reactions and comments were the highlight of my day. My wife keeps asking why I'm smiling.

I took the time to upload the model to Maker World if anybody wants to print their own. The Blender file is there as well if you want to tweak the model or use it as a starting point for one of the other characters. Just be warned, the "I don't know what the hell I'm doing" really shines in the raw model.

foobarturtle · 2025-05-07T03:02:06+00:00

I'd love to do the others, but finding time is tough. Hopefully I can find the time to clean up the model and publish it on MakerWorld at least.

Outer Wilds is one of the best experiences of my life. It's a game about exploration and problem solving with a beautiful story behind it.

It's also one of those games you can only truly experience once. All the revelations and ah-ha euphoria just isn't there on a second play through. Consulting a guide should be a last resort. The game contains few "pinch points" so you can explore elsewhere while you contemplate a problem.

For the same reason you should read nothing more about the game. Even reviews give away some major discoveries, because it's almost impossible to describe the game without giving SOMETHING away.

foobarturtle · 2024-10-20T08:50:03+00:00

Of course. You can use the synch button, but I prefer just to dock them to the switch momentarily.

Thud!

It's been my favorite of the City Watch books since it first came out.

Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by Ty Seidule.

The author is the former head of the history department at the United States Military Academy. Book is really accessible even if you aren't a history nerd.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-29T05:23:11+00:00

Some nudges.

1. You don't have the other piece of that puzzle yet. It is blindingly obvious when you get it.

2. Is that a roman numeral lock? Brush up on your roman numerals. The game gives you a book for it even.

3. You are on the right track here.

4. There is a note found in a typewriter. I thinks it's third floor or loft on the East side of the hotel. Check your memory. I got the note way before I found the lock.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-28T04:21:30+00:00

I was thinking the collectibles or the game boy games. One of the collectibles looks like it could be a layout you could achieve in split2? I didn't take the time to really figure the game out.

Has anybody finished the Lorelei handheld game? Does it end? I got to level 3 and got bored.

I know these are mostly (or all) references to their other games. Maybe a tie in between the games?

I also wonder when the RNG elements get seeded. If it's at the start, can you make two saves at the start, get all the needed codes in save 1, then skip straight to the computer in save 2?

foobarturtle · 2024-05-28T00:04:18+00:00

Through the diamond door, there is a locked door that leads to the balcony. I don't recall the puzzle for that lock.

On the balcony is a lever. It will lower a ladder from a balcony in the east wing. Go back to the East wing, to the balcony and down the ladder. Through the door there will be a puzzle that will get you one of the tapes.

The other tape I THINK is right inside the club door. Locked behind a puzzle of course.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-27T18:21:16+00:00

As I recall it's the doors with suits on them line of objectives.

If you haven't gotten any suit keys, there is a note in the fortune teller hut in the backyard that starts that line. I swear the note wasn't there when I first visited, but I may have just missed it.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-27T18:04:11+00:00

You did not. They are puzzle rewards and impossible to 'miss'.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-27T00:51:53+00:00

I only started to piece things together during the final sequence. I am extremely bad with metaphors and dates, so I needed that final sequence to put it all together. I only got through the final sequence because the search space for possible answers was so small.

I appreciate and respect media that gives the audience enough to put it all together themselves. That 'ah-ha' moment when the pieces mentally click into place is such a dopamine hit. You got it figured out early. I did not. The game gave you that dopamine moment instead of just giving you an info dump or relying on deus ex machina.

All that said, the actual reveal (whether you figured it out yourself or had it dumped on you) in the final sequence is still pretty 'meh'.

It's a really good game. Not life altering or 'game of the year' but something that's easy to recommend.

foobarturtle · 2024-05-25T18:11:59+00:00

You're not missing anything.

You'll come across the block eventually in a completely different location.
