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...

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...

I came here to be excited that I found NES game design docs from Taiwan in storage but I guess that thing is happening and you're all watching it

💥 ¡EXCLUSIVA! Desvelamos el autor de un juego de Future Stars de Dinamic!👀 Hay una historia oculta detrás de Krypton Raiders que te va a sorprender 🔍 ➡️ Te lo contamos aquí: www.elmundodelspectrum.com/exclusiva-re... #RetroGaming #Dinamic #ZXSpectrum #HistoriaDelVideojuego @yedaijamao.bsky.social

You can notice it in-game, but it's not obvious because of how the camera follows the curve. Here's a video I have from a while back that shows what it looks like when the camera doesn't turn:

Coming up this Wednesday, June 4th at 1pm PDT - the VGHF acquired 125 prototype ROM chips - for the Famicom/NES and the MSX2, likely from Taito - and will be dumping & analyzing them live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nFA...

Got a few interesting things for you today. First, a late prototype of Heavy Nova for the Sega Mega CD. It does not boot, however... (thread) archive.org/details/heav...

Next up, we have some development materials for the Sega ST-V arcade hardware! archive.org/details/sega...

I finally found one of my holy grail items. The N64DD Mug.

Mail’s here :)

Every now and again I reflect on our Charlotte's Web GBA game we produced at Backbone. It was an action platform game that had Wilbur leaping around on platforms. We referred to it internally as "Pig of Persia," in honor of Prince of Persia, the game we absurdly based it on.

Marble Madness prototype for 3DS by the Other Ocean team in PEI. Never released.

Presenting what is arguably the most obscure Nintendo related hardware that was commercially released: the Study Box Model 1500, a console version of the Study Box add-on for the Famicom that used audio cassettes which consist of educational software.

I have just published a new GitHub repository entitled 'ExileArchives'. This contains 9 pre-release versions of the BBC Mico game Exile. I recently re-archived these from the original disks that were sent to Superior Software BITD. Read more about their history here:- github.com/KevEdwards/E...

An open ask to fans of old PC gaming: do you recognize these sprites? These were found in the files of Cartoon Network Toon Jam from Turner Interactive, and feature characters more generic than the CN crew in the game. Where these from a different game or maybe a earlier scraped version of the game?
