Do you want scans with that? I'm excited to share that I've 3D scanned all 5 toys in the original Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal set that McDonald's released back in August of 1990! These were the very first Mario Happy Meal toys. Grab the 3D models here: archive.org/details/kesh...

Today, we bring you a prototype of Mario's Picross for the Game Boy! Dated January 23rd, 1995, this build comes a few months before release and contains different puzzles, a different Super Game Boy title screen, and other graphical differences. archive.org/details/mari...

VERY old drawing I did as a guide for marketing materials for the Sega Genesis game Vectorman.

Interesting Question! It very well could be. But here's an even more intriguing question for you: Did Outlaws hide some early concept art of Queen Amidala two years before The Phantom Menace?

I'm adding all the Casio Rom Pack dumps I've found so far to MAME and, while at it, I've also updated the list of cartridges that still need to be preserved. Since I first published that list, more than half of them have already been dumped! 😀 www.retrolel.com/en/casio-rom...

Estoy añadiendo al MAME todos los volcados de Casio Rom Pack que me he encontrado y, ya de paso, he actualizado la lista de cartuchos que aún necesitan ser preservados. ¡Desde que la publiqué ya se han volcado más de la mitad! 😀 www.retrolel.com/es/cartuchos...

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project: Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece. Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon. See thread for details. 1/9 github.com/markmoxon/th... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

Many years ago I went on a search for the creator of the 1982 arcade game BurgerTime. I located him as part of my own research project that unfortunately was postponed. His name is Yuji Gondo. Here is a list of games designed by Mr. Gondo presented here for the first time as part of my research. A🧵

🚨 From this ROM dump, the community has assembled a working development build of the unreleased port of Popils for the NES. More unfolding live! www.youtube.com/live/RJwR8jX...

Spent some fun time the last few weeks getting some old NES source code of Police Academy back into a compliable state. Fun dive into the the early 90s development system and all that stuff. Code and instructions on how to build it I wrote are released today by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social

PoP IC1 and IC2 from the VGHF's current stream are a demo/prototype or something of Prince of Persia for MD/Genesis -- merged binary here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s55e5... @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social

Two unreleased Sega Game Gear games in early/unfinished state: "Prime" (1994) and "The World of Sport: Golf" (1993). Provided and recovered by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social team, analyzed/patched by smspower team): www.smspower.org/forums/20713

Today's @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social ROM dumping live stream comes with a prototype of an unreleased, unannounced(?) Game Gear golf game from Tengen and Atreid Concept - The World of Sport: GOLF! Aiming, swinging, and club selection seem to work but putting does not. May bear further investigation.

Aquí tenéis el directo con el prototipo del Jammin', muy posiblemente el primer videojuego de ritmo de la historia, creado por Atari y recién preservado y emulado por Dutchman2000 y MameHaze! youtube.com/live/z9Ks-il...

There is SO much high-resolution Metal Gear Solid art in this collection (from CD 193 archive.gamehistory.org/item/8a5db5f...)

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Last month at PRGE, we held a reunion panel with Nintendo employees who launched the NES. Hear from Bruce Lowry, Gail Tilden, and Lance Barr about how the scrappy staff at NOA defied all odds and released one of the most iconic game systems ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WDfsiLiRA

Space Invaders – The Original Game by Taito for the Super Famicom has been scanned in high resolution. Enjoy! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/s...

So far I haven't seen anyone point out, via a Google search even, a deep-cut joke in the Super Mario RPG remake: www.gamespot.com/articles/sup... On SNES, the 6 hint notes were attributed to Magellan, DeGama, and Van Doren (2 each). In the remake, the note authors are different... 🧵

I'm proud to share that I've 3D scanned a complete set of Mysterious Mario Bros. keshi (怪奇マリオブラザーズ), a line of 10 keshi gomu rubber figures depicting monstrous-looking versions of characters from the original Super Mario Bros. Read more and download the figures here: archive.org/details/kesh...

Thrilled to announce the release of scans for the entire run of Technopolis! Read about the history of this Japanese computer gaming magazine written by @ftb1979.bsky.social and download/view the scans. Enjoy and please RT to help spread the word. www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/09/t...

Two well-known voice clips from Super Mario Sunshine are Mario saying "Aren't I done yet?!" and "There's more?!" in an exasperated way, long presumed unused. However, there is actually a way to hear them in-game, as they have a chance to play when he enters a level at low health.

Today I'm releasing an early prototype of Nintendo's "Joy Mech Fight" (FC), from over a year before its release! This build, then named "Battle Battle League" (FDS), was created for the 1992 Nintendo-Dentsu Game Seminar. Links are below! hiddenpalace.org/Battle_Battl...

Super Smash Bros. contains a sneaky "delayed action" anti-piracy measure to lull the illegitimate user into a false sense of security. The game will be normal the first 68 times it is launched. Starting with the 69th time, however, every selected character will turn into Mario.

Today's 3D scanned keshi is God Bomber, from the unreleased (!) Virtual Boy game Virtual Bomberman! A keshi figure for a game that never came out is pretty unusual, isn't it? In fact, I think this is the only one I've ever encountered! Download the scan here: archive.org/details/kesh...

If your placeholder assets aren't clearly placeholders, you'll forget to replace them Back in ~1999, the art director for some dollhouse game made a temporary diamond-shaped model for their character UI. By the time he realized they hadn't replaced it, it was too late and it shipped as-is. Oops!

Speaking of the st.5 boss, here he is in prototype form, from when the player characters were the Slugs & you had a 5pt health bar. The vast majority of the prototype images out there don't have the health bars. No idea if these are earlier or later revisions though

Más ejemplos de juegos glitcheados como si estuviesen corriendo en el Genecyst, a ver si los reconocéis 😛

Ando testeando todos los juegos de Mega Drive que recuerdo que hagan "cosas raras" para que la futura emulación de Teradrive en el MAME quede niquelada, ¿Se os ocurre alguno poco obvio que se me haya podido pasar? 🤔

I did some more research, and this Mario pawn is actually from a different board game than I originally identified! It's NOT from Bowser's Castle Conquest, but rather Party Joy 3: Super Mario Land Game (パーティジョイ3 スーパーマリオランドゲーム)

PSA for those with a PS3/PSVita: Over the past year PS1 and PS2 Classic titles have been delisted from the PlayStation Store. This includes Gradius V, Twisted Metal 2 & EA-published PS1/PS2 titles. Even though the game pages remain, the Add To Cart buttons are GONE. Get your games B4 it's too late.

Ceefax 1988. Unfortunately the rest of the carousel was pretty much unreadable but I thought this picture was worth uploading.

Regarding this Chaotix boss, internally named Devil Sonic, Ryō Kudou explained that the design was created by Takumi Miyake, then a 3D model was created using Strata 3D, and finally Kudou converted it into pixels. xcancel.com/rin_kotou/st... vgdensetsu.net/takumimiyake/ vgdensetsu.net/ryokudou/

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, I spent the weekend creating a patch for Bug! and Bug Too! to run on modern Windows Bug!er Up fixes Windows 11 compatibility; adds support for XInput controllers, removes the CD-ROM requirement and allows custom soundtracks. github.com/LukeUsher/bu...

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

I've 3D scanned the shell and all other components for Puyolin (aka Puyorin ぷよりん), Compile's 1997 LCD keychain game adaptation of Puyo Puyo! All scans are high resolution and are now freely available in .stl model file format on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/Puyo...

Something very special today from GTW - several #SNES prototype builds of Porky Pig’s Haunted Holiday (from 1993–1994), including 6 unseen subgames (PORKATHLON!), early sprites, and loads of content cut from the final release. Plenty to discover! www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/07/pork...

Today we reveal a very early prototype of The Lion King for #SEGA #GameGear, dated April 1993. Glitchy, incomplete, and packed with placeholders (plus Lemmings music?!). A fascinating look at this work-in-progress Disney title. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/06/the-...

Your 3D scanned keshi today is this strange version of Lakitu! This figure is from the bizarre and unofficial "Mysterious Mario Bros." (怪奇マリオブラザーズ), a set of ghoulish parodies of Bandai & Amada's SMB1 keshi, made by Konno Sangyo. archive.org/details/kesh...
