A kind gamer pointed out a major bug in Bobby version 1.6 (and possibly prior versions) on Windows. While playing the game in fullscreen mode, when you quit the game, your Windows taskbar will be missing. To get it back, you have to run the game again and switch to windowed mode, then quit with windowed mode active.

Bobby version 1.6 is now available for demo and purchase here on this site! Notable new features include:

• New menu music
• 90 degree rotation snap on extra keys/buttons
• Help screen that shows the controls
• Hot-plug gamepad support on Linux (already supported on Windows and Mac)

Version 1.6 is also now available on GamersGate, Indievania, and the Ubuntu Software Center.

We now have a very simple subscriptions page where you can sign up for email "feeds". The link is at the bottom of each page (see image below.) For now the only feeds are update feeds for games we sell on this site, since we previously had no mechanism to alert direct download buyers of new versions. These feeds will be very low traffic so shouldn't disturb you much, but will let you know when your games have been updated and what new features are in the updates.

Bobby: Space Adventure is going to be free (from this site only) all Christmas day (Eastern Standard Time!) Go to the Bobby purchase page, fill in your name and email address (and confirm your email address), and submit. The order will be processed as a free transaction on the 25th.

New buyers (and old, see below) of games from our site will now have access to the serial numbers of their purchases directly from this site, instead of having to keep their order confirmation emails. When you make a purchase while logged into nooskewl.com, your orders will be tagged with your username and will display when you click the "Orders" link from the top right link bar (which only appears when you are logged in.) This is provided as a convenience and we recommend you keep your confirmation emails in a "saved messages" folder anyway.
