I loved this game as a kid. The bundled level editor was pretty good considering, I think. LAN play was loads of fun also.

#32I have fond memories of playing Jazz Jackrabbit...and Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Secret Agent Man, Jill of the Jungle, and so on. Epic Games and Apogee were the logos I remember seeing most often. OMG! Jetpack from Adept Software is still available?! https://www.adeptsoftware.com/jetpack/
All of those and gizmos and gadgets. God I spent so much time on that one.
And the lost mind/island of Dr. Brain.
I wish I could still play them!

#34Looks very cool, fingers crossed multiplayer support gets added at some point (noticed it says 'Multiplayer is temporarily removed in version 1.0.0.' on the website).
Seems like the creator says it would take 300+ hours and they don't have time (on their discord).

#35This is wild. It used to take hours to download this game's deno, and now I can fire it up in a webpage.

We were allowed to play Castle of Dr Brain in class, but there was no save feature, so some of us got pretty good at speedrunning the first puzzles to spend the rest of class on the next one.

#37Unrelated blast from the past, it looks like Fragile Allegiance is getting a spiritual successor: https://www.fragilecontinuum.com/
I always thought there was an opportunity to make this game for the original Microsoft Surface (the touchscreen-in-table one).

#40I have fond memories of three player coop on a single keyboard - possible as long as at most one player was running.
The music was always a strong point, especially that it was typically at most four voices at once due to the file format used.
