I'm going to assume any Game Gear-to-Master System conversion where they mapped the start button to the pause button on the Master System was a Tectoy hack.

I’m not a smoker, but this Magical Drop Zippo makes a good case for me to pick up the habit. Has anyone seen this mentioned before? I’m assuming it was a giveaway for the Saturn version of MD3.

With David Rosen's death, bad information about Sega as a company is starting to re-emerge across the internet. I will try to give a very condensed version of the Sega corporate shenanigans here as to clear some of the air. 🧵

Has anyone documented or scanned these Nintendo brochures? Were probably aimed at retailers rather than direct consumers. Not sure if the images are fronts or interiors. SNES one saw additional use in international Nintendo mags (Chile, Sweden) but I'm looking for info on the actual brochures

David Rosen, who helped create Sega and changed the coin-op industry forever, has passed away. www.replaymag.com/segas-dave-r... An absolute titan in video game history. May he rest in peace.

It's interesting they were trying to make the Artdink brand a thing in the US (distributed by Seika, which was also publishing Kemco's NES games in the States). bsky.app/profile/game...

Mr. Do's Castle is now available. That also hasn't been re-released. bsky.app/profile/gdri...

Mr. Do's Wild Ride is now on Antstream. Unlike the original game, I don't think it's been re-released anywhere. Snow Bros. was also added recently.

Natsume-Atari's rebranding as Winning Entertainment Group in 2026 https://www.winning-ent.co.jp/ this rebrand is is partly due to the confusion that comes with having "Natsume" &/or "Atari" in their name, but also coincides with a tie-up with Tamkeem, the Bahrain Royal Labour Fund. happy holidays!
