Der persönliche Klassiker: Jalopy

Ich freue mich sehr: Ich durfte für die Rubrik “der persönliche Klassiker” des Computerspielemuseums für den Monat Mai 2023 ein Spiel auswählen. Aus Anlass des 1.

Aber es reflektiert für mich auf interessante Weise ein Stück DDR-Alltagsgeschichte. Es gibt kaum Spiele, die...
