maybe next time

"Captain's Log, Stardate 41986.0. We have emerged from the transdimensional vortex to find ourselves in a most peculiar situation. It is as if reality has been rendered down to a resolution no bigger than 160 by 144. We also seem to be able to perceive only five... no, correction, four colours."

Always appreciated Big Al's advice in the Pilotwings instruction manual.

Not a dud among them. I really miss Pilotwings, one of those games that brought our family together.

Saw the exact copy of a "mint" game I was ghosted over in a trade last year, up for sale on eBay yesterday. It is most definitely not mint. Dodged a bullet there but also glad to have indirect closure!

I'm still occupied with game development, but I do miss the ZX Spectrum. Hopefully I can return eventually when I have time. #zxspectrum #pixelart #ドット絵

I'm so tired of like every American company merging into one mediocre blob focused on providing the worst service imaginable

Happy 35th birthday to the #Nintendo #SuperFamicom - released in Japan on this day in 1990 & marking the beginning of the 16-bit console war! More pics: www.instagram.com/p/DRU9cAAAjz_

Another find while digging around on an old hard drive. Apparently I had my priorities straight when I was at university.

It's here! 🐉 From the pages of DRAGON Magazine in 1991: an ad for the new 'black box' version of the Basic Rules - the first edition of D&D I ever called my own. So, this particular red dragon image is quite nostalgic to those early days of getting into the hobby.

Nice to know that my brand new Analogue 3D won't work out of the box with my Everdrive, my NSO controller or the BlueRetro dongle either. Bit of a mess. Aware of the SummerCart but had been hoping I could work with what I already have.

As a fan of Guild Wars 1 this is a completely unexpected but very exciting Christmas present. youtu.be/80f2LGducmM?...

Note to self: play Custom Robo. (From youtu.be/n4Bg6ogd740?...)

Sounds like an album on Ghost Box.

Cold, wet and grey outside today. Perfect weather for frogs…🐸

The Sonic capsule-toys Ryo-san collects are actually the character models from Sonic the Fighters!

Another beautiful 32-bit day 🌧️❤️ - Radiant Historia (NDS)

As someone who liked PCVR before I had to dump my Quest, generally plays older games and has been planning to build a SFF Linux PC, this feels very exciting. Amazing that they announced them all on the same day. I just wish the controller ran off AA batteries.

Should be excited but I just feel uneasy. Keep wondering what they've been hiding after that last delay.

And of course, it has one of the great intro themes. 🥲

Just come back from the London Gaming Market, same tiny venue, same vendors selling the same overpriced stock and flagrant copyright infringement merch. They really need to switch it up, it's dull now.

... thanks?

Alone In The Dark (1992) Developed by Infogrames.

Starting the day well with this one. Only a couple of chapters in and already enjoying it a lot.

Rummaging around in old backups. Slightly disheartened to find out that the little Android game I made in university can't be played on modern phones. Oh well.

In Cybernator for SNES, at the title screen hold L, R, and Up, then press Start for a handful of bonus credits. Good luck out there!

Moving on from finishing RE0 to another game in the series that's mostly new to me. Hopefully I'll enjoy the shift away from my precious tank controls and the fixed viewpoints I love so much.

Hidden in the villiage area of Aptos in 'Sonic Unleashed' are two realistic cats, just chilling in the sun.

I've spent the last two years developing firmware and software for a WS/WSC/PCv2 flash/development cartridge. Now, it has finally been announced and will be sold by 49bitcat in Germany. Sales start November 24th! Learn more here: 49bitcat.com/news/2025-10...

Jill, I was under the impression that your skillset would have allowed us to avoid this specific scenario PlayStation 1 Barry had explicitly assured me I needn't worry about this happening

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

Incredible to think that Capcom had the confidence to put Street Fighter Alpha into the hands of a team with lots of new hires and initially gave them just three months to get it made. (From readonlymemory.com/products/lik...)

Loved this so much when it came out. Very flawed in lots of ways but that just made me like it even more. Really wish Konami would hand it over to the likes of @nightdivestudios.bsky.social for another N64 remaster.

Single screen platform games were a whole sub genre back in the day. Here’s Rod Land from 1990… #Cute #Jaleco #Design #Aesthetic #RetroGames

Sigh. Of course Nintendo are locking the NES and Game Boy games behind the NSO subscription.

So happy that this seems to have turned out well. Earmarked for my Christmas holiday game this year.
