It’s time for Riven! A game I loved so much I bought it on CD-ROM then again on DVD-ROM. Let’s see how the 1997 original for Macintosh holds up in 2025.
Bonus: Playdate season 2 is here! Two games will be released each week, so before we get into Riven I’ll check out the games from that week. I’ll spend 20 to 30 minutes on each game and we’ll chat about them a bit!
The Case of the Golden Idol was designed by Andrejs and Ernests Kļaviņš. The gameplay takes a lot of inspiration from Return of the Obra Dinn (easily one of my favorite games of the last decade) and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I’ve now finished the main game, so we’ll be checking out the DLC next!
I’ve just reached 1,000 followers on Twitch, so I’ll be doing a special stream to celebrate. This stream will include: co-working on the moon, VR gaming with Apple Goggles®, and all new stream alert with freshly hand-crafted pixel art. Date to be determined.
