He is a treasure. His CPS1 book is outstanding.

If anyone knows other classic-gaming blogs, where there is technical depth, please do share. https://nicole.express/ and https://sudden-desu.net/ are my other favorites.

I was always envious of the people with 1200 baud modems... I had a 300 without dialer so had to use a phone to dial the number, wait for the answer and flip a switch for the modem to take over :-)

His Game Engine Black Book series is excellent as well.

One of these days I’ll make a retro DOS game for fun. Just need to find the time.
