(Tim) - New game by show Partreon and game coding wonder, Roy Feilding (@Roysterini) - Turdle for the C64 released under the Megastyle label, is a slightly stinky play on the popular Wordle word guessing game. Turdle initially started as a silly idea for the RESET 4Kb Craptastic Compo for C64, but I decided to embellish on it a little and release it now, while there's still steam rising off it. Now available for free on Roy’s itch.io page. You can even play it in the browser from the itch.io page!

(Tim) - Itch.Io Bundle for Ukraine - The people of Ukraine are under attack. As game developers we want to create new worlds, not to destroy the one we have. That's why we've banded together to present this charity bundle to help Ukrainians survive this ordeal and thrive after the war ends. This cause has resonated with creators around the globe, to the extent that our bundle contains almost 1,000 games, tabletop RPGs, books, etc. All this for a minimum donation of $10 but please give more to this cause.

(Tim) - The Hair Nett BBS is now live. This is for all you BBS geeks out there that want a peek back to a BBS that was run from the early 90’s to 1999 when it was shut down, this BBS is from Rod Hull of The Future Was 8 Bit. Tim and Eric have been involved with testing the BBS before it went public. It contains 1000’s of downloadable files and BBS messages that have not been seen since the 90’s along with Multi line chat and Door games like Casino and !Command a missile command game in ANSI. 

Connecting is easy using SyncTerm for Windows or for bonus points you can use a WiFi modem with your 16bit systems like an Amiga or Atari ST. C64 support will be available soon.
