Dear visitors,

As everyone may noticed the news are almost zero these day, I am not feeling fine and I have to recover from a lung infection.

Kedo is busy with regular work so the page probably wont see many updates in the comming few days as well.

Give me some more time to be back on track 🙂

Thanks for your understanding!

Dear visitors,

As you all know PDRoms is a non profit homebrew resource. Our server is having some issues which I can’t solve on my own as I don’t really have in depth knowledge with Debian-Linux.

If you consider yourself a Linux geek and would like to help out on a regular base, please get in touch with Kojote (see Main Menu/Contact).

Thanks in advance!

The Giana’s Return Team is currently on a creativity break, which actually means they are working on another project. The project picked up is “SQRXZ”, which is a damn hard to play and aged action-platform-puzzle game known from DOS and Gameboy Color.

Today the team released a brand new screenshot with the “deluxe” graphic set to the public. Seems nice, doesn’t it?

The game will be available for multiple platforms across old and new systems!
