ADParty Revived - ADParty (AKA pinkiedemo) reverse-engineer revival & Super Mario 64 mod by UlikDodikov
This is the fastest post I have ever made by a long shot.
ADParty, also known as pinkiedemo, is an ancient pony fan game tech-demo by awesomedreamcoder. The game was first unveiled to the world in a demonstration video very humbly titled "walk on cloud" on April 4th, 2011, almost 15 years ago — possibly older than some people reading this.
The game, made in a custom game engine, with no source code available, was considered a remnant of the past, with only 4 videos ever uploaded of it by the creator, all in 2011.
Then, this guy, UlikDodikov reverse-engineered it, making it compatible with modern hardware and operating systems, reviving the original game as it was, and even going as far as to make a full mod replacing the entire boring plains and hills map with the Peach's Castle from Mario 64.
There is really no way to elegantly transition these these two events split apart by a 14 year gap, during which most people presumed the game to simply be lost media or unplayable.
Is there much to do? Not particularly. You can play as the four ponies: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, walking/flying around generic green hills and/or a stripped down version of Peach's Castle. There are controls listed in the
keys.txt file for basic controls (press left click to run and right click to make the currently selected pony look at you — avant-garde to say the least) and other queer systems like surprisingly in-depth real time hair editing. Is it still awesome though? ABSOLUTELY!

Review - The Travel by Deth-Horses
Travelling back to 2012 once again for another Flash game which has surprisingly never been featured before. This game features an unique gameplay style where you control two characters at once through in an sort of endless runner (though it feels more like an endless walker), multitasking to keep both characters from eating too many tree branches, along with Rainbow Dash herself having to keep FlutterShy from falling behind.
Surrounding this main gameplay loop is an admittedly awesome boss fight which reminded me of the awesome sprite animations of that same era, only unfortunately lacking any music to match the awesomeness of the boss fight and, most importantly, the shockingly brutal difficulty of this game.
I for one found Airman Ga Taosenai thematically perfectly fits this boss fight.
