Look who came to visit — Ed Smith of APF!

Upon seeing the Imagination Machine II, he said, “Oh man! I never thought I’d see Myrtle again.”

A rare good co-op game for the NES! Loved playing this with friends when I was a kid

How about some 8bit jeep action? Jackal (1988, NES) Running over enemies is very satisfying.

I can’t quite remember the exact first but I remember staying up literally all night to play Civilization II and Ultima Online

I’ve been listening to the audiobook version of Patrick Stewart’s memoir, “Making It So” (2023) and it’s amazing

He narrates it himself, so it feels almost like you’re hanging out and he’s telling you stories about his past
