Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

    I played countless hours of Cave Noire this year. It’s a coffee break roguelite that released in 1991 on Gameboy.

    I fuck around with old games a lot but there are not that many games I get really into these days. Cave Noire is similar to Desktop Dungeons where every attempt is a short puzzle so it fits pick up and play nature of Gameboy. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re into this kind of stuff.

      Gonna download (my totally legal backup copy) now and check it out

      Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

        It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

          Awesome, thanks for the tip!

          Edit: the patch is still available on romhacking.net for the time being. I don’t know when the official shutdown for file hosting is
