Digital: A Love Story

By Peter Swimm, on March 4th, 2010

We don’t cover many games on TCTD, but this one seems great.

From TinyCart’s review:

I admit it’s a weakness of mine that I must examine every game I enjoy through RGC’s lens, but as much as that DS title is a love letter to NES gaming, Digital is a tribute to those late nights wasted in front of your computer connecting to Bulletin Board Systems, analyzing strange screen names, and sending private messages to people you had no business talking to at your age.

Digital’s developer Christine Love provides this blurb for the PC/Mac/Linux adventure game’s premise:

“A computer mystery/romance set five minutes into the future of 1988. Crawl BBSes, uncover conspiracies, commit telephone fraud, fall in love. Welcome to the 20th century.”

Featuring a soundtrack from 4mat and starscream, amongst others, it seems like its worth a play, and the music is freely playable outside the game!

Digital: A Love Story.

Demoscene • The Weekly Demo

After 3 years of PSP homebrew development, and with little involvement of the demoscene with it, TBL’s demo still remains on the top of the list for this platform. No other production has, as of yet, reached the bar set by Suicide Barbie.

TBL, with a long story of Amiga demoscene quality bar pushing, is not very active nowadays, unfortunately.

Enjoy.
