I 3D printed a controller grip for my R36S emulator. Turned out pretty decent! Now it feels like I'm holding an Xbox controller instead of an oversized GameBoy.

We're a year away from the GameCube and Xbox being considered "retro" gaming consoles. Also, the PS2 is already there! ACK! My back!

I'm refurbishing a Daytona USA cabinet. The side art is pretty warn with rust staining. Question for all of you: Keep the original art as-is (repairing the corners of course) or re-vinyl it to look like new?

For me, the original Tecmo Bowl (not Super Tecmo Bowl) will always hold a special place in my heart. My dad and I would play this game together all the time. The only rule was that no one could be the Raiders.

Apogee's amazing "Hocus Pocus" was a charming platformer created by Mike Voss. Here's a picture of how the game originally looked (top) and then after a graphics makeover toward the end of its development. It's an incredible transformation!

How is this even possible?

Still one of my favorite moves in any fighting game: Wolverine's Berserker Barrage. youtu.be/mu_qqoHu7KY

First time playing SNES at my friend's house:

Play all night while you enjoy some steamed hams.

If anyone asks me how old I am, I just reply with, "I'm this old."

Threw him off the mountain, eh?

I stumbled across one of my favorite games growing up: 3-D Ultra Pinball, by Sierra Games. This game was so much fun, and better than Space Cadet pinball included with Windows (though that was really good too).

As a kid with a Genesis, and then a Sega CD, and then a Saturn, this generation of games blew me away. 3D gaming came home from the arcades and it was incredible.

Damnit, Tails...

Holy moly, the Retroid Pocket G2 looks really damn good. Basically 2x the performance of the Retroid Pocket 5 at nearly the same price. (I don't need it...I don't need it...I don't need it...ugh...I feel like I NEED IT!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaH7...

I LOVE retro gaming content, and figured I'd share some of the YouTubers and Podcasts I listen to regularly. @retroblastpod.com @etaprime.bsky.social @snesdrunk.bsky.social www.retrogaminggeek.com/retro-gaming...

Them: You can't hear an image. Me:

Wait...that can't be...<checks wikipedia>...oh dear lord...

Okay, no looking it up. :) DOOM was actually id Software's 5th 3D game. What were their first four 3D games? (Confession: I had no idea until I started reading John Romero's autobiography.)

It didn't get much cooler than picking the Diablo as a kid. Name the game. :D

The team that took the Sega Genesis to malls around the country and had people play it head-to-head against the Super Nintendo. Players overwhelmingly liked the Genesis more when played head-to-head.

The quintessential book on Sega & Nintendo's console wars from the 1990's. It's written as a full narrative from the points of view of the people who lived it. This one is so much fun. If you're a Sega or Nintendo fan, it's definitely worth the read. www.retrogaminggeek.com/console-wars...

Sid Meier knew how to woo new developers to MicroProse.

'FuncoLand' is out NOW! It's 2002. I'm 17. In this 'Memories' episode, I take you back with me as I revisit those days, but also the experiences that'll stay with me for the rest of my life. If you've ever caught yourself looking back fondly—This one's for you. Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple

Back when Microsoft created an open-source game. QBasic Gorillas was the precursor to Scorched Earth and the Worms franchise.

The holidays are sneaking up on us. If you're looking for a great gift for the retro gamer in your life, check out these awesome ideas I pulled together. Let me know what else you'd add. :D www.retrogaminggeek.com/retro-gaming...

Tomonobu Itagaki, Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive creator, has died. www.gamespot.com/articles/leg...

This magazine cover is literally the reason why Raptor: Call of the Shadows and Demonstar were created. Scott Host was surprised to see his first game, Galactix, on this cover, which made it a hit. It resulted in calls from Westwood Studios and Apogee.

It's so crazy that Makoto Uchida, the creator of Altered Beast and Golden Axe was also the guy who made Ribbit! Honestly, I had never heard of Ribbit! before writing up a Developer Deep Dive of Makoto Uchida.

I LOVE Golden Axe and Die Hard Arcade, and after writing about those games as well as Altered Beast, I figured it was time to do a Developer Deep Dive into the work of Sega Legend: Makoto Uchida. www.retrogaminggeek.com/makoto-uchid...

In 1989, these were cutting edge graphics on the PC. Name the game.

Looking for a comfy yet nostalgic hoodie? This is my favorite. The Westwood Studios hoodie gives me Dune II vibes (No shade to Command & Conquer). retrogamingshirts.com/products/wes...

Some of the best quotes in a game came from Magneto in X-Men Arcade: “X-Men! Welcome to die!” “X-Men! Come dead!” “X-Men come to die!” “X-Chickens!” “I am Magneto, master of magnet!” “You shall meet with my wrath!” “You are helpless against my power.” “Shieeeeeld…”

Konami's first two hits: Scramble and Frogger. BONUS: Did you know that the name Konami comes from a combination of the names of the other founding members of the company, Kagemasa 'KŌ'zuki, Yoshinobu 'NA'kama, and Tatsuo 'MI'yasako.

DAMN YOU MUSHROOM BOTTOM!

What's the age threshold to get this joke?

The best snowboarding game ever made. I'll die on this hill if I have to.

Before it was Raptor: Call of the Shadows, it was Mercenary: 2029. Creator Scott Host made Mercenary: 2029 as a demo, while creating Second Sword. You can read all about its development here: www.retrogaminggeek.com/raptor-call-...

Happy 29th US birthday to the Nintendo 64, which launched on September 29th in the US. Nintendo chose to wait to launch the N64 after Sony's Playstation took tons of market share and the Sega Saturn flopped. It was worth the wait (in the US at least).

I would argue that the reason we have great RPGs in the US this thanks ad in Nintendo Power. Getting Dragon Warrior to the US changed gaming here. www.retrogaminggeek.com/dragon-warri...

Just finished Console Wars, by Blake J. Harris. It's INCREDIBLE. Getting a behind-the-scenes look at everything that happened during the 16-bit war between Sega and Nintendo is fascinating and heartbreaking. Oh what was and what could have been...5/5 stars. A must read. amzn.to/4pKnZn6

Oh hell yes.

If you loved Raptor: Call of the Shadows, this article is for you. An exclusive interview with Scott Host, the creator of Raptor and Demonstar. www.retrogaminggeek.com/raptor-call-...

Konami was known for its secrecy when it came to game development, so this dive into the history and development of X-Men arcade took quite a few twists and turns to get solid information. If you're a fan of the 6-player X-Men arcade game, give this a read! www.retrogaminggeek.com/x-men-arcade...

I miss X Play so much. It was ultimately cancelled due to poor ratings. :(
