Haven't had an intro up for ages, so:
Hi, I'm BLUEBERRY SOFT, a videogame company from Melbourne, Australia, living / working on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong land.
I like working with materials I find online; other people's / collective ideas are more interesting to me than my own.
I'd like to do more local community-building, and generally encourage other people to make games, but I'm kinda shit at it :(

Paku Paku uses an "undocumented" CGA mode which is essentially a text mode exploit that lets you have 16 color graphics with a very low resolution.
There are two cool old PC games that use this mode quite successfully, both developed by Macrocom. "Icon: Quest for the Ring" from 1984, and "The Seven Spirits of Ra" from 1987. #DOSGaming
