Acid Rain (or not)
Before we begin, this is a filler post as I am not reviewing Acid Rain due to performance issues, and neither am I reviewing AAS Masters. This wasn’t really a game, as such, but an exercise in how not to write a game.
The 64-Scene-Adventure
This appears to be written as a tongue-in-cheek homage to the 64 scene and cracking groups of the 80s/90s. The language is a little fruity and dated, with some words that people may (will) find offensive, so you have been warned.

XC=BASIC 3 – An Adventure Game!
This is a quick introduction, and the first of what I hope will be many posts/tutorials (call them what you will) on XC BASIC and game creation that I hope anybody who happens to come across them will find useful. I should confess from the off that I am not a coder, and I will… Read More »
