for sure, exodos is a fantastic project and a true labour of love that deserves more attention!

version 6 is coming soon and eXo has been making videos about the whole thing, check it out:

i’m on the discord and the subject of podcasts came up, i think eXo would be a great fit for the DGC podcast, either for an upcoming episode (he’s played a bit of everything) or as a separate interview.

had many hours of Liero fun on the school computers, great game. Triplane Turmoil also rings a bell…

Sensible Soccer is one I’ve always wanted to check out. I remember playing one of the later ones (on Win98?) from a magazine CD demo.

A more cartoony game that I had a lot of fun with as a kid was Action Soccer. Tried to revisit it recently and it doesn’t really hold up…

hell yeah, this was one of the first games i got “good” at as a kid, managed to get up to level 40-50 probably

we had a 286 computer with a strange keyboard layout, the arrow keys being in an L shape:
..U
LRD
this allowed me to use my tiny left hand for left-right and right hand for up-down. So when i visited a friend and wanted to show off my mastery of this game, i was completely useless with the normal layout keys, i felt like such a fraud 🙂
