Oooooh! The original got its hooks into me *immediately*; its opening tutorial section feels cyberpunk in a way that every other cyberpunk styled game I've ever played dreams of.

So I did that nine games thing. All of these were hugely formative for me in one way or another, often in multiple ways. Thread 1/??

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about. (I'll let you pick which is which)

FROM OUT OF THE FUTURE... 1989! Broderbund releases the U-Force controller for the NES. It's an IR field thing that you wave your hands over, kinda like a proto-kinect. And it's bad. But good enough that in 1990, they updated the manual. It *was* normal. They made it INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT. BEHOLD:

Working on a weird surprise. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social and @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social might want to take notice :) Seemingly unscanned manual for an NES peripheral. Not to say that there isn't a scan of this thing's manual out there, just not *this* version of the manual. And it's *out there.*

So for those curious about SRW4 progress, there's a nasty race condition with the font code that only occurs in battle sequences, but causes the game to effectively crash -- the sequence stops progressing if the line takes too long to draw. Linebreaks exacerbate this dramatically.

So it's #CommunityGamealong Mecha Month and I had to give this a try. It's a lot of fun! Plenty of rough edges at the moment admittedly but there's absolutely something here.

"Assassin's Creed 3 is like the sixth or eigth game depending on how you count" - Funny "Kingdom Hearts 3 is roughly the 13th game" - Extremely Funny "Beatmania 3 is the 13th one but they never made beatmania 4 and instead made 32 sequels to beatmania 2, which is the fifth one" - True Masterwork

Ever suddenly catch yourself doing something and think, "sheesh, how the hell did I ever get *here* with my life?" Why do I ask? "Oh, no reason," I say, whilst staring at two 2-million-line-long assembly execution logs side-by-side trying to figure out where they diverge

I’d totally missed this until someone messaged me about it, but NCS Corp’s Mega Drive strategy game Vixen 357 is getting an English-language Western release! A lot of the late localizations we’ve been getting recently have been shooters, so this is a nice surprise! #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive

This will never, EVER get old.

For #RandomGameSaturday this week I pulled Fatal Labyrinth! It's a roguelike dungeon crawl up a 30-floor tower. Fairly simple, but good fun!

Fixed the SRW4 auto-formatting issues! Name variables are a little over-zealous about linebreaks when they're at the end of a line but it works. And combat works too.

🔔 Rainbow Bell Adventures ~ World 1 🔔 I love #TwinBee since the #SNES and was so happy my favorite, Hungry Goriya @hungrygoriya.bsky.social decided to play this for her Friday streams. Thanks to that, I was also inspired to draw. ☁️Hope you like it☁️ #retrogaming #illustration #ツインビー #イラスト

Thanks for the kind words! We’re a core JRPG game first, and we highly recommend Wagotabi for gamers aiming to purely learn JP through an educational title!

So I was listening to the @insertcredit.com other games of the year ep and @brandon.insertcredit.com mentioned Shujinkou as something awesome in theory but unpolished: a Japanese learning edutainment rpg. Looked it up and one of the reviews mentioned Wagotabi as a alternative and... it's amazing?

My pre launch page for the Build A Boy is live on @crowdsupply.bsky.social crowdsupply.com/natalie-the-nerd/build-a-boy The only kit that will turn your Lego kit into a real working Game Boy - no emulation

Picked up a Miracle Piano and the accompanying NES cartridge at GameBound in Renton some months back, but it didn't have any cables with it. So, I made my own!

THATS JUST FUCKING PRIME!

Oh my god I can't remember the last time I've laughed this hard, thank you so much @foxhack.bsky.social for sharing

I actually have something for #ScanlineSunday today! Game: Mystery Dungeon 2 - Shiren the Wanderer (SFC, with Aeon Genesis fan translation) TV: Panasonic PV-M2036

"Rafael Daniel"on Twitter just shared little video preview of his next #SNES #homebrew "ProjectP" (Probably subject to change) A charming platformer with some gorgeous Yoshi's Island-like visuals. All on a massive 8MB cartridge (Same size as Mario 64!) #SNESDev #retrogaming #gamedev #indie #retro

So it's #RandomGameSaturday again. Today I pulled Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for GBA!

I know enough of the NES's inner workings that I can understand all the technical stuff here. In fact this might be a useful reference sheet for screen addresses (top/left labels) and sprite positions (bottom/right labels). Guessing the big + marks are references for TV overscan?

Friday, February 21, 1986. 40 years ago this very minute (it’s a little past noon here in Japan), people were discovering Zelda’s secrets for the first time.
