Officials Settelment Bliersheim (German: Beamtensiedlung Bliersheim), Rheinhausen, 2006

Wir waren damals auch in einem der Gebäude. Ich weiß nicht mehr, ob es das vom Foto ist. Es gab mal ein Video von unserem Besuch, in den frühen Tagen YouTubes. Leider existiert der Kanal nicht mehr.

Ein Hintereingang war notdürftig mit Brettern verschlossen, Vandalen hatten allerdings bereits ihr Unwesen getrieben. Hineinzukommen war entsprechend einfach. Das Haus in dem wir waren, war in zwei Doppelhaushälften unterteilt. Mehr oder weniger zumindest, denn in der ersten Etage gab es eine Tür, über welche die Bereiche verbunden waren. Dadurch wurde die Orientierung etwas schwierig, aber es ging schon.

Die Treppen knarzten wie verrückt, was mir mehr Sorgen hätte bereiten sollen als es damals tat. Teenager machen wilde Sachen. Zu finden gab es nur zwei Interessante Dinge:

Während alles leer war und nur ein paar wenige, kleinere Holzmöbel zu finden waren, gab es im Keller ein ganzes Lager unbeschrifteter Säcke. Mindestens einer war aufgeplatzt. Der Inhalt sah aus wie Salz, allerdings waren die "Körner" sehr viel größer. Vielmehr sah es aus wie kristallartige Steine mit einer durchschnittlichen Größe einer Walnuss oder eines Golfballs. Wir haben nicht herausgefunden, was das war. Ich bilde mir aber ein, dass es dort sehr merkwürdig roch.

In einem Dachgeschoss fand sich eine Matratze mit Decke, scheinbar die Bleibe eines Obdachlosen, die scheinbar bereits vor langer Zeit verlassen wurde. Vorsichtig haben wir mit unseren Taschenlampen geprüft, ob zerbrochenes Glas, Drogen, oder ähnliches herumliegen. Stattdessen fanden wir einen Karton mit einer alten, seriellen Computermaus und einigen Disketten. Darunter waren Treiberdisketten für die Maus, einen Drucker und selbst beschrifteten Disketten... unter Anderem mit "Lemmings" und "Wolf 3D". Es war schön, diese Spiele dort zu finden. Ansonsten waren dort oben alte Kleidungsstücke, ein Plattenspieler und Papierkram, der aussah wie alte Grundrisse. Mitgenommen haben wir nichts, auch wenn die Dokumente verlockend waren.

Diese kleine Geschichte ist eine wertvolle Erinnerung für mich. Meine sehr gute Freundin und ich waren damals im Silent Hill Fieber. Wir hatten einen billigen TrekStor MP3-Payer dabei und haben uns die Kopfhörer geteilt und die Musik von Mary Elizabeth McGlynn aka. Melissa Williamson angehört, die damals Gesang zu einigen Stücken der Silent Hill Spiele beisteuerte. Fantastische Songs.

[Fully Lost] Stonehouse 3D

Stonehouse 3D is a game that was developed by a single user known as Chainworm, CW6 or P1NKAC1D back in 2005. It was a school project and made in a pretty short time.

It was made with the Pie in the Sky game engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_in_the_Sky_(game_engine)

The title of the game was quite controversial as it's based on the name Robert Steinhäuser (Steinhaus is German for Stonehouse), a school shooter responsible for a massacre that occurred on 26 April 2002 at the Gutenberg-Gymnasium, a secondary school in Erfurt, Germany.

As far as I remember the title was chosen to be provocative while video games were often subject of (very) false media coverage and blamed for events like school shootings (the "Killerspiel-Debatte" in Germany).

It is a short FPS using graphics and sounds from DOOM and other games.

All what's left is a gameplay video, uploaded 13 years ago: https://youtu.be/plIddySNJSk

What did I try to find it?

I owned the game back in the day and had it burned on a CD with a printed cover that was provided with the download.*

The author is still active and made several mods for DOOM. His homepage is still online: chainworm.de

The funny thing is, that I was in contact with him for a while. He doesn't own a copy of it anymore and seems not to be too interested in making big efforts to find it. But he would still be happy to see it again.

I found the original download link on a German forum. Forum post (by the author): https://www.blood-is-red.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=129385#p129385 Download link: http://www.chainworm.de/forum/sh3d.exe (dead)

Unfortunately, the domain is excluded from archive.org, so I couldn't try to download it there.

Also, I tried to contact some people from the forum by looking at their profile's contact information. A few responded, a few did not. Obviously, nobody had a copy of the game.

I remember the game being also uploaded to the now defunct Postal Network Forums back then: www.postalnetwork.org/forums (dead)

Possibly the PN forums also just contained the download link provided earlier.

* There was another download link with a downloadable artwork to print, meant for DVD cases. Most likely it was also hosted at chainworm.de and is fully lost.

What now?

The game was shared a lot in the community and I remember sending it to a few friends from back in the day. I don't have contact to any of them by now and I guess they wouldn't keep it until today. But I think the game was shared among a decent amount of people and it is possible that someone actually did archive it. Lots of old-school/retro gamers are meticulous archivists.

So maybe, anyone is able to deliver some lead or knows someone, who knows...

Thanks for reading, thanks for all help in advance!

Do you remember this 2007 Flash game by Olle Hemmendorff? I loved to play back in the day. But then, it became unplayable for years.

Until now! I made it playable again! 🎃

The game was hosted on viceland.com (as well as on several flash game sites) and used to load in-game music from the site. The files are no longer available, and all instances of the game embedded on websites are now defunct. Even Ruffle (a Flash emulator) cannot play the game properly, as it invokes some ActionScript 2 methods that return unexpected results when used with Ruffle. For more details, please refer to the provided archive link.

I changed the URL for the music files in the SWF file and use a simple web server to serve them. The batch file I provide opens a small webpage with a portable Basilisk browser instance that still supports Flash.

Have fun! https://archive.org/details/zombiegrinder-60k

PS: Steff from the DarkRealms Channel uploaded the game's brutal Grindcore / Goregrind soundtrack!
