Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Oh wow, this brings back memories! I love how years later you find out this game from your childhood was actually a tech demo.

    And those shareware games. Crystal Caves and Commander Keen come to mind. You got this full length fun game for free, and then they charged you for the sequels. I never played any sequels though 😆

      I really miss the shareware era, such a great way to try out games and apps (legally) without needing to pay for them.

      And yeah, Apogee had so many bangers back then like the Keen series. I’m also playing Bio Menace right now, which is based on the Keen engine, and it’s still so much fun.

        Oh I hadn’t heard of Bio Menace! I kinda went off the platform genre but enjoy the occasional familiar level of these classics.
