[HN Gopher] Show HN: I made a retro game archive for Polish games ___________________________________________________________________ Show HN: I made a retro game archive for Polish games Hi, As a 8-bit C64 game coder in eaarly 90ties and currently mostly FE-focused dev, decided to give a go to a simple retro game archive. This is purely fun project - so i decided to post it to HN, mayne it'll resonate :) Author : zepesm Score : 117 points Date : 2023-04-28 19:09 UTC (3 hours ago) (HTM) web link (polishpixels.com) (TXT) w3m dump (polishpixels.com) | david927 wrote: | Fajny! | zepesm wrote: | thx :) | adamzochowski wrote: | This is missing Electrobody / Electroman | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_Man | | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GosPJVggVmI | | As per burmistrz for c64, I remember playing a differently | looking version, all mostly black?
