|  The Gilsoft Legacy | | Posted by Chronos on 2020-05-20 |
 In our latest KiCHY Quill pack, we take a look at the work of Gilsoft, founded by Tim Gilberts, one of the most renowned English developers. Why is Gilsoft important/interesting? Mostly because they developed the adventure game editor called "The Quill" and "DAAD"! The system was ported to quite a few home computers after its release in 1983, exploding the text adventure game market. More than 450(!) games were released with this engine! But let's also look at the specific games we're presenting to you today. These are mostly games made and/or released by Gilsoft, namely: Africa Gardens, where in an abandoned hotel we have to figure out where the guests have gone; In Barsak the Dwarf we search for treasures lost with Barsak; In Devil's Island, we must escape from a prison island; We need to find a stolen diamond in the Diamond Trail; in the Mindbender a human brain gets under the control of a hypnotizing machine; in Sorcerer we have to recover the stolen scroll and orbs, in Spy-Plane you must you survive and complete a mission high in the sky over enemy territory; and in The Curse we have to break an Egyptian curse.
Have fun!
There's a lengthy article about Tim on Stefan Vogt's site, if you're even a little bit curious about this topic, it may be worth reading. |

| | Bucket Wars Released! | | Posted by Csabo on 2020-05-18 |
 Bucket Wars is a classic turn-based strategy game in which the enemy kidnaps your beloved bucket and you have to get it back at all costs. To achieve victory, use your units wisely, as each one has a different strength: archers, armors, fighters and lords. Control with a joystick plugged into port two. The game actively uses short and long fire button presses! Have fun! |

| | It's offical: Árok Party 2020 is canceled! :( | | Posted by siz on 2020-05-03 |
It's a sad Sunday morning: the organizers of Árok Party announced that the COVID-19 restrictions of organizing public events in Hungary prevent them to hold the party this year. :(
They hope that the pandemic will cease soon and they can start organizing next years' party. They signed off their post with this message:
"Keep the 8bit spirit and prepare to respawn ;) Cargo & poison" |
