Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

I played countless hours of Cave Noire this year. It's a coffee break roguelite that released in 1991 on Gameboy.

I fuck around with old games a lot but there are not that many games I get really into these days. Cave Noire is similar to Desktop Dungeons where every attempt is a short puzzle so it fits pick up and play nature of Gameboy. Can't recommend it enough if you're into this kind of stuff.

I am very much into this kind of stuff.

Gonna download (my totally legal backup copy) now and check it out

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there's also a readily available translated "backup copy" floating around.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Edit: the patch is still available on romhacking.net for the time being. I don't know when the official shutdown for file hosting is
