 :fogetteach:​ AMOS Basic of course was the Amiga's follow-up to STOS Basic for the Atari ST... buuut the same gamemakermakers later abandoned doing Basic dialects in favour of mouse-driven interface... resulting in the immortal Klik & Play!


hmmmmm... maybe there should be a spin-off thread dedicated exclusively to defunct commercial game-creator tools... perhaps with an open/ongoing challenge to make one new tiny game for as many of em as possible...?

I remember seeing the Pocket Sonar in a magazine and I have wanted it ever since.  One day I hope to come across a Pocket Sonar.
 
I've always been sort of obsessed with weird Gameboy peripherals in general.  Like even though the service is gone and it's not useable anymore I still really want that GB cart that is basically just email.  Like you just hook the GB cart into your dialup and check your email through their proprietary system.  I also really like the bizarre interfaces of GB memory cards/gamesharks and desperately want to buy a new BrainBoy since I had one as a kid.  The BrainBoy was great because it had a lot of Pokemon-specific stuff programmed in, so you could alter all your Pokemon's stats individually.  Like, you could use it to backup (and maybe edit?? I forget) any gameboy game but it had a lot of extra stuff added in just for Pokemon.  Something about the aesthetics of the menu though really struck a chord with me, but now as an adult I can't remember what they looked like.  I also can't seem to find a video of it.  I guess I have to just give in and spend $15 to get one off ebay and find out for myself.  It'd be nice to have a second backup for my Pokemon saves anyway.

I thought these were oddly shaped paddles when I first saw them, then I read "fan blades", pretty kinky though if they were used in such a fashion I think.
