About five years ago, I showered you all with questions on DOSBox, recording KnP games and more. You helped me hugely and I managed to get playthrough footage of all the games my mate Dan made with my assistance back in the 90s. As a fun gift to Dan, I used clips of all those games to mock up an industry promo video for a dev studio name that we made one GF game under then gave up on. And finally, 5 years later, he decided to post it online. So here it is, as my small thanks for all your help! Cheers!

Someone please make this for the benefit of the world. Thanks.

The BBC has released a "Research & Education" archive of over 16,000 sound effects for you to use and download. Woah.

Hope someone can find this useful. :)

Don't know if this has already been posted here but this is enough to fuel thousands of beautiful trainwrecks and all of their children.

Hi gaming historians. Does anybody remember the name of the vast hypertext MUD made of pixel art? It was like the flickgame of 2009, but bigger.

Hi Wreckers!

For the zine that Blueberry Soft is organizing, I'm organizing a feature with recommendations! I'm thinking just five per person. This doesn't have to be a best or favorites kinda list, so take that as you will! It can be whatever five (other people's) games on this here trainwreckin' site you'd like people who pick up the zine to go and seek out. I'm collecting the lists here! Post them in the comments! I'll post my own shortly.

We probably can't do more than eight or twelve lists, so this'll be first come-first serve (if everyone wants in, we might have to rethink that!). Post your list of games AND the EXACT NAME you want to be credited with.

Hey, thought I'd seperate-out the zine stuff so it doesn't get all cluttered. Below are the zine-thoughts I've had so far, please post any other ideas, wants, etc!

What I'll Do

So I've nominated myself to organise the zine. So I'll do the layout, make the disc image for burning, and do a PDF so we can share it online too :)

What You'll Do

The way I think it'll work is that there should be enough room for anyone who wants to submit something to get a page (or potentially more if really needed?). That could be whatever: a little essay, a collage, a drawing ...

We also talked about the idea of physical versions of flickgames that would take the form of a larger piece of paper that you unfold to navigate. Decky posted a good plan for making those work in the Discord, and I was also looking at this program called Laidout that makes it easy to play with real interesting designs. I might reach out to some GT-affiliated people who aren't actually showing anything too, depending on how many pages we fill.

There'll be a credits page/s in the zine, so everyone in the show should give me a name plus a website and social media link if they want (I'll also put a link to your GT profile).

There's a sheet in the spreadsheet for zine details. Please check your details there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_JcwqkTtlMpnso8nXaYrnvNcQnuzPKwML2kCA4bO0K0/edit#gid=1251148163

Other Help

As I'm not in NYC I can't really organise the actual printing. It'd really help to:

• Get an idea of cost before I do too much layout (so ASAP), including price options for number of pages, paper size, paper kinds, colour, etc. I'm picturing something the size of an A4 or letter sized page folded over. So each sheet would be four pages. Just staple sfor binding.
• Is there some kinda BBCastles publication budget, or are we paying for this?
• CD or DVD burning (which'll also require some paper pockets or something to attach them to the booklet).
