Test Drive Off-Road 3 (GBC) - see the RUMBLE PAK!
17 hours ago
I am listed as the lead programmer on this game, which I only barely remember because it was 25 years ago and I worked on many different projects.
The sound seems annoying. The game seems dated to me. We jokingly referred to these games as bathtub races because they were 2D. The hardware was too primitive to do 3D.
In the video game industry at the time, the emphasis was on getting projects done as quickly as possible to make the Christmas market which really starts in the fall. It takes time to manufacture a game, so you had to finish during summer. If you didn't get a game done on time then it was a financial disaster.
So consequently, quality was a secondary consideration. We did the best we could, but if we had more time I'm sure that we could have made better games.

Whoa! You made this game and watched my video!? Super cool. Any chance you can DM on Twitter or email? I would really like to ask/interview you regarding GB development, highlighting the GBC Rumble Pak. I am really curious to learn more.

Did This Parrot Just Ask a Question?
The parrot imitates sounds he had heard in anticipation of a reward. He is not perfect at identifying materials but appears to be learning.
Some parrots can identify materials, colors, and shapes at the same time.

Rather than proceed at a constant rate, it would have been better to spend less time at the beginning and much more time on the details that come later. Human and mammalian evolution would have made great topics to explore.

Lunar Lander Beyond - Cinematic Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games
https://youtu.be/rz9M1QMZPsY?si=NtF7O5LiboPnOI6i
It appears to be 2D. I would associate something like this with homebrew. It reminds me of Gravitar.
I think that they are trying to turn Lunar Lander into a franchise. Maybe this will lead to a movie.
Instead, how about a 3D Lunar Mission Simulator with authentic controls?
Best wishes,

English Longbow
Middle Ages[edit]
It has been suggested that 'thumbs up' was a signal from English archers preparing for battle that all is well with their bow and they are ready to fight. Before use, the fistmele (or the "brace height") was checked, that being the distance between the string and the bow on an English longbow. This fistmele should be about 7 inches (18 cm), which is about the same as a fist with a thumb extended. The term fistmele is a Saxon word that refers to that measurement.[9]
Desmond Morris in Gestures: Their Origins and Distribution traces the practice back to a medieval custom used to seal business transactions. Over time, the mere sight of an upraised thumb came to symbolize harmony and kind feelings.[clarification needed] For example in the seventeenth century, see the Diego Velázquez painting The Lunch.
