I'm working on a new game and sometimes I'll post screenshots of the evolving world map here.

"Rollercoaster" was a type-in BASIC adventure game published in Creative Computing that required a laserdisc player hooked up to your Apple 2. It used stills and scenes from the movie of the same name to illustrate events in the game.

If you make games of any kind you should put a submission in here for the thing I run: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoZtSYOxdNOba4LYSUZtkc9WKMYJTs5A2t4-FkZXi_Om04Fw/viewform
Most importantly, you don't have to be present at the show itself if you can send a PC build.

Core mechanic inspired by Halting Problem by Terry Cavanagh
