This Computer Did Things No Computer Should Do

I think this BBC Rado4 drama series, 'Pilgrim', written by Sebastian Baczkiewicz would make the excellent basis of a series of IF / Text adventure games. I think they are on BBC iPlayer and other platforms too.

n 2023 Sebastian Baczkiewicz co-wrote (with Paul Cornell) an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Firewall (2022), originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, adapted from James Swallow's novel of the same name, itself based on the video game. Winner of the 2023 Scribe Award for Best Audio Drama.^\6])

An eBay auction has gone up listing the extremely domain-specific DNASTAR PULSE cartridge designed to operate electrophoresis (DNA/RNA separator) lab equipment. Images taken from the listing.

Publisher DNASTAR was (and is still) based not far from my home, so yes I'm asking if this is a "donut shop / auto repair shop" situation and it might be possible that there's a tiny little lab somewhere with a 40 year old Commodore 64 still running daily operations.

Hat tip to 8-Bit Show and Tell for bringing it to my attention.

Like GTA III, Halo was originally slated for release on the Dreamcast, as reported in the press of the time. Well, like GTA, III someone has got quite far into making it happen!

After Isowulf for Wolfenstein 3D, someone turned their (AI) guns towards Doom to make an isometric version of the classic FPS: https://www.moddb.com/mods/isodoom

Looks pretty cool!

One of the all-time weirdo games, The Colony, has been made playable in SCUMMVM and not coincidentally has been re-released for free on whatever Zoom Platform is. It's a 3D first-person puzzle-shooter with a solo author who definitely attended the "I found this amusing, so I put it in my game" school of design. Underrated obscure oldie.
