Should've posted earlier: look at this little Lego Riven dagger that Cyan sent us 🥹

I'll be presenting at Super MAGFest 2026 with @lainenooney.bsky.social and @kendraserra.bsky.social about what's new in the field of game history! Come with your loaded questions for this gathering of stone-cold experts in history, preservation, and copyright builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m...

Some late-night sicko stuff: We've started scanning NewMedia, a notable multimedia and internet magazine from the 90s. Fellow sickos might know them as the magazine that ran the Invision Awards for multimedia! archive.gamehistory.org/folder/b69d7...

I love how Tom Paris is a nerd for 50s Americana and nobody seems to enjoy it. You know there's gotta be one guy in Starfleet who's forcing his teammates to watch Revolutionary Girl Utena in a holodeck recreation of a suburban basement

This is the pattern with the Cookie's Bustle troll. They abuse free/cheap legal resources to make spurious takedowns, and then never follow up, because they have no legitimate claim. If you push back even a grain of sand, you will never hear from them again

You ever see someone living your dream

You might think that eggnog ice cream would be perfect, given that eggnog is already a milk-and-sugar-based beverage. Well, you'd be right. It's freaking GREAT and my only regret is I made it decades on this earth without trying it before

Serious kudos for taking a stand here

god damn they even got footage of the Olajuwon Sega Channel warmups

On tonight's Mascot Friday stream at 8 pm CT, Garfield gets judged. Plus we're looking at Sega Channel exclusives and prototypes, including the Garf's famous Lost Levels! twitch.tv/retropals

Overheard at the cafe: Old Man 1: Did you go to [name]'s funeral? Old Man 2: No, I didn't like him. Old Man 1: Yeah, I know he was a polarizing figure. Old Man 2: He was way too into hydrogen.

Life tip: Develop a reputation where people just hand you Final Fantasy VIII merchandise

seeing cookie's bustle with english subtitles is weird because I thought I didn't understand what was going on in that game because I wasn't hearing things right (it's a fully voiced game with no subtitles) but it turns out I understood fine the game is just absolutely fucking insane

Put Curt Hedgehog in Ring Racers

It's official, I'm the top The World of Sport: Golf speedrunner. A prototype of an unreleased and unannounced (?) golf game for the Game Gear. Dumped and put out by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social

Just tried drinking hot tea through a Red Vine. Don't do it

Here's all the commentary from Garfield: Caught in the Act: The Lost Levels, as discovered by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social, just in case anyone was interested.

Watched Aura get to the credits of Iron Hammer from the Sega Channel files. Something funny about seeing this credited programmer who wasn't at the company anymore by the time it came out, since the game sat on the shelf for two years. Wonder if he even knew it was released in the end.

gamehistory.org/segachannel/ Back in early 90s at SEGA of Japan, we did not have a chance to see SEGA CHANNEL in operation so this article and the video is absolutely fascinating...!

It's time to accept that putting chalk in milk is here to stay. We have to add chalk, or we'll fall behind. It is unrealistic to expect all milk to be pasteurized when other companies are using chalk. This is a milk business

bustlers... our time is now..... 🤠 www.twitch.tv/heckmaybe

This has been underreported about Cookie's Bustle. The "copyright registration" that's been used for takedowns is just a website where you can say "I own this" with zero validation. It is not an actual copyright registration! It does nothing to support their claim

Merry Christmas, Xbox

Cookie's Bustle - English Translation (PC) Added

Spent too long making this

Got the memes prepared just in case

Trek Trivia in Oakland is unrelenting. Even for Star Trek fans, it's a gauntlet of esoteric facts. but for the first month WE CAME IN FIRST PLACE. I GOT A GOLD PIP

Garfield Lost Levels speedrun record is already down to 4:26

Most girls: Crystal's Pony Tale Least girls: Mutant League Hockey

Woooo I'm in the 97F Sega Channel ROM with my Vectorman 2 fan art from 1996/97. Now I need to design a Sega Channel promo flash cart label with a case.

fascinated by this bit of statistics in @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social 's drop of sega channel documents today. "the heaviest US genesis users were buying a new game only once per 2 months" is a good reminder of why certain design philosophies were VERY different in the 90s

The cable-TV powered Sega Channel for Genesis/Mega Drive has been preserved and over 140 ROMs recovered. Here's the remarkable story: www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2025/12...

catching up on this now and I wasn't expecting to see that the Video Game History Foundation had uncovered the earliest documented Sonic OC

Super MAGFest 2026 schedule is out, and within the first hour on day one it already lives up to expectations

I am still mentally overstimulated from yesterday. I should like, do a coloring book

Can't believe the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social Sega Channel release comes complete with CanCon. Got a bunch of bilingual game guides.

Finally got around to watching the video and I can't believe something from the argentinian Sega Channel was present amongst all that data; before this all that had surfaced from it were some of the TV ads. I so hope more from it surfaces someday.

The Video Game History Foundation does incredible work, of which this is just one example, but let's also all agree that @philsalv.bsky.social is a goddamned national treasure

Okay, figured this out for the Flintstones ROM from Sega Channel that released today Use patch code 001B50:50ED Or genie code 7YPT-BAWT Pause the game and press the A button A pretty complete debug menu that has level select, map viewer, ability to place objects, can set invincibility and # of lives

New PFP

Congragulations all on pulling it all together, way to date every single piece of sega channel writing on the internet instantly.

YES someone is already speedrunning Garfield www.twitch.tv/janglestorm

The response to this has been incredible! We're glad you're all as excited about this as we are. Reminder: Our work is mostly funded through individual donations to our charity. We're close to hitting our goals for 2026! If you were waiting to give, now is a great time: gamehistory.org/donate

it's messed up how "there existed a fully functional Michael Jordan-based web browser for Sega Genesis" is just a tiny little fraction of this momentous release. Outstanding work.

As a day one VGHF backer it's been so satisfying to see them absolutely cooking throughout 2025, after years spent laying the precise groundwork they needed to become an organisation this effective. Yup, they've done periodic drops over the years, but they've been long-gaming this since day one.

By popular (?) demand: the Genesis version of Unused Song 2 from The Flintstones
