An Amiga game ported to Godot, a Playstation 2 house, HyperCard on the web, and Ganon's Kamen Rider origin

A retro-heavy week over on social.omgmog.net between 31 August and 6 September. There’s a 1993 Amiga platformer getting an LLM-assisted port to Godot, HyperCard stacks running in the browser decades after anyone last opened HyperCard, and someone working out what it’d actually be like to live in a Playstation 2 scaled up to house size. Plus a proper dig into where Ganon’s name really comes from, and a map of real filming locations if you fancy losing an hour to it.

Babylonian Twins was written in 68000 assembly in Baghdad in 1993, and this summer an LLM ported it to Godot. The write-up covers what the developer found reading back through what the LLM did to the original code. The disks are free on itch.io now too.

Converts old HyperCard 2.x stacks into self-contained HTML pages, running a HyperTalk subset in the browser. A neat way to get old stacks running again without needing the original software.
