Make 10 - where math and adventure meets!

German box art
Here comes a refurbished and enhanced post from 2017 about a game I really enjoyed: Make 10: a Journey of Numbers. It's a quirky little game that I wanted to revisit again!

My mind couldn't let go of its unusual, definitely not stock-looking boxart for over a year. Eventually, I bought the game at my local used-games shop, curious about what the game is about. Yup, it was there on the shelf for over a year. It seems like no one was crazy enough to invest in a kid's math game in a German box (thankfully it's a multilanguage game).

Dinokun overview

It's time to write about what I think is possibly the absolute worst vintage v-pet ever made. And I feel that its programming is kind of glitched too. At least in the baby stage. Why? because there's no way a sane human being would make a v-pet this annoying!

RSI/Fibromyalgia and how I saved my butt from it

Pain is awful and chronic pain is that kind of awful that drains every inch of your energy, crippling your everyday activities. Especially if the pain is so strong it leaves you crying on the floor for days, filling your days with fear and terror, wondering if you ever be able to live a normal life again. I've been there and it sucks. But what if I say I was able to deal with it and return to my activities again? What if I say that reading a blog, a Reddit reply, and a book kickstarted my healing?

"I have 30 screens, 4 colours, and a screen resolution around 160x144px to use.
You get a bonus if you correctly guess what I'm planning to do."

What IS a GameBoy Camera?

Since it's a quite niche piece of hardware from the ancient late '90s era, I feel it will be a good idea to describe it shortly, before I write the bigger post about the silly game I made on it. It's super quirky so it perfectly fits my blog too!

Two GameBoy Cameras, my GameBoy,
and GB Operator to bring my saves to the computer.
Also a dinosaur, for a good measure.

GYAOPPI II in-depth overview and instructions


 

GYAOPPI II in-depth overview and instructions

part of Gyaoppi coverage (October 2018)

I have never really been able to post my writings and findings due to time limits, neither this file is fully finished. However, I have been receiving questions and inquiries about Gyaoppi so I decided to post whatever I have written (and abandoned) now. I hope this information will prove useful to some regardless. I will soon try to find a way to post my other findings and data I recorded in spreadsheets...
