You ever write a Rust game where the player walks into a dungeon, gets punched in the face by a goblin, drinks a healing potion like it’s chamomile, and keeps going like nothing happened?

Because I just did.

Structs, enums, and reckless bravery: the perfect tea blend.

Mystery House II, the 2nd graphical adventure game from Japan, turned out to have an even more complicated situation with different versions than I originally thought. I have finished the game in one of its alternate forms and I try my best to detangle what happened.

Secret post!

Well, I was taking the month off, but I got engrossed with the Japanese game Mystery House 2, a game I'd already beaten for MSX. I made some progress on the NEC PC-6001 version. The game is radically different. I delve into why.

There was a Copilot mini-hackathon at the office today. With a theme of interacting with the real world.

But the *real* real world is messy and fickle. So I decided to burn through some tokens having Copilot interact with a *fake* real world.

Humankind has always hated playing video games. So now Copilot can play a 30 year old game for you, while you go fill out your TPS reports

☕ sips tea dramatically
Today I gave my brave little Rust adventurer a proper world to wander through... then I casually dropped a goblin into the hallway like it was Tuesday. 🧌✨

Now they can move, fight, and probably survive — assuming they brought snacks. Next up: loot, glorious loot.

Next on All the Adventures:

Come for a tale that leads from 1949 all the way to 1981, with passionate developers trying to bring computers to the masses, and an obscure game called Tiny Adventure, a complete "outsider work" in computer game history.

Next on the docket I have an adventure game with a complicated multi-part history dating back to 1949 and a rare emulator. The game itself feels like it dropped from a different universe.

Post by Friday I'm guessing? Preview screenshot.
