Sure, we all know Sierra hits like King's Quest, but how about... WizType, the typing game based on 'funny pages' cartoon The Wizard Of Id?! (It really exists, and debuted back in 1984 - ad via the VGHF Library.)

ah yes, the OUYA's unholy port cloaca.

The title them to "Alien" on the C64 is so hauntingly cool [ CW: flashing lights ]

It's well known that Enix held programming contests to find talent and build up their product development, but they were far from alone. Even large companies like Taito cast a wide net for talent, in their case bringing in creators of games like Arkanoid in the process.

VGHF usually does not collect retail video games, but when we do, it's something significant. This is a rare first-edition print of Rogue for PC. Rogue, as in, the Rogue that roguelikes are like. This predates the game's wide release from Epyx by a whole year!

The mid-'80s had a lot of auteur-led ads for games, hence Mark Cerny himself starring in this U.S. print ad for Atari arcade classic Marble Madness, c.1985...

While digging through my Game Boy carts last night I found what might be my favorite bootleg find. The title and label really capture what I love about unofficial releases.

I LOVE this pic because it brilliantly shows off how Darius achieves its seamless widescreen effect via clever CRT monitor placement and mirrors [ image + alt text details from shmuplations.com/darius/ ]

PROFIT-DRIVEN ARCADE GAME FLYERS - Eco Fighters (Capcom, 1994) flyers.arcade-museum.com/videogames/s... I won't lie, I have a soft spot for the specific phrasing of American arcade game flyers. They have to come up with SO many phrases and puns around coins, profits, earnings, it's not easy.

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

Good morning, and Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, friends. We're still here, another year in spite of it all. And commemorating those that aren't because of transphobia but should be. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜
