Hi all,  I have extended Gothem for another month as I feel we should all give this one a go.  I am going to have a go tonight and post a score.  For a change, I am having a fairly relaxed easter long weekend!  :). I hope you all are as well.

Why am I still developing SNES games in 2026?
« on: May 14, 2026, 12:09:13 am »
In a world where everything moves fast, where new consoles drop every year and graphics seem to matter more than ideas, I keep going back to the Super Nintendo.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s stubbornness… or maybe some things never stop belonging to the present.
The SNES isn’t “outdated”: it’s history, it’s a creative language, it’s a different way of making games.
Working on hacks today means taking something old and making it breathe again with modern ideas and real passion.

In an era where everything is instant, I choose something that takes time.
In an era where everything is pre?made, I choose to build.
In an era where everything is digital and forgettable, I choose a piece of memory that refuses to die.

And I’m curious to see how many of you feel the same.
Who’s still connected to that era? Who still plays retro? Who understands this “madness”?
