RetroHub: Spielesammlung im Stil eines Interactive-TV-Terminals auf Steam veröffentlicht

RetroHub wurde für Linux auf Steam veröffentlicht.

Das Spiel ist eine Sammlung aus 15 Mini-Spielen (u.a. Flipper, Backgammon, Bowling, Yum), die einem interaktiven Fernsehterminal der frühen 1990er nachempfunden ist, und kostet 14,49 €.

RetroHub switches back on an interactive-television terminal from the early 1990s. A mosaic of numbered tiles, a number to dial — and behind the Games tile, a whole games room drawn pixel by pixel.

Solo, together, online

Several games are played by several people around the same screen, the way it was done then. Backgammon, Bizz-Billes, Problèmes, the Quizmaster and Tac-o-Tac also play online: share a code, or get matched with someone looking for the same game — whether they play on Steam, on a phone or on a TV. High scores are kept game by game, and the top of a table isn’t number one: they are grand master.

The terminal

A 320-by-240 screen, sixteen shades, a hand-traced font, and rendering that imitates the cathode-ray tube: scan lines, rounded corners, pixels never smoothed. Around the games: news, weather, horoscope, sports and a video channel that plays on its own. No account required.
