I cannot express how helpful the folks in this community have been in my research since I joined around 2018; lot of expertise and willingness to help in all sorts of corners of knowledge.

Intellivision Archive opens 1982 wirh Star Strike, Mattel’s knock off of Star Wars’ trench run that wound up as a high selling, critically (and artistically) acclaimed game youtu.be/lO0pup2Wizs

So delighted with these posters that just arrived! Vampire Queen, Udon Guardian, and Side Quest Warriors are here~⚔️ The blues and reds pop well, and movement carries through 💕 Please enjoy! enerjax.storenvy.com

this is what will show up if you invite me to your ai & copyright law conference

Can confirm this game is pretty dang good

Recently, on the Norwegian videogame site spillhistorie.no, two new discoveries were posted, games that were previously lost. I've written about one already; the other discovery was of a very early Tolkien game, and the first original adventure we have in Norwegian. bluerenga.blog/2025/11/05/r...

If you're on the fence about voting today and are concerned about pollution and climate, this is just a reminder that they can be meaningfully addressed at the state and local level. How we build and where; infrastructure and funding for mobility; what companies get tax breaks. #vote

I will never forget the time Cheney shot a man in the face while hunting and the guy apologized to him

All the Adventures continues with Comp 1983 and a contrast with the previous game: despite both games being set on islands, rather than staging "scenes" Search for the Ruby Chalice clearly is trying to simulate an "environment" instead bluerenga.blog/2025/11/03/s...

I was front row center for this amazing panel and now you get to watch it too. Probably one of the best panels ever given at a retro gaming show. Felt like the culmination of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's life's work:

This episode brought to you by me reading the National Archives write up about the lawsuit involving Atari’s Asteroids vs clone game Meteors

I saw Marge with Piccolo's cape and I couldn't stop my hands from moving.

Love to have repaired my dryer in August only for it to apparently break down again a couple months later

Remember: this afternoon is the ideal time to visit your local historic cider mill!

Look, you need to stop calling out AI slop images unless you're certain. 15–20% of the time when I see someone calling it out, it's not even AI — you're disparaging an artist's work. Accept that sometimes you won't be able to tell for sure, and hold off. You can't win a battle with friendly fire.

Oh wow, I never expected this one to show up. @sacaitlin.bsky.social

This past weekend, I had a cold, so I setup my Intellivision and the ECS, along my all-new BASIC interpreter, and I coded 9 games. #retro #retrogaming #intellivision #basic forums.atariage.com/topic/385238...

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

I think the show badly needs a refresh behind the scenes. Davies and his collaborators have been major players on it since 2005, and for a show about regular renewal it just kind of makes it stagnant. (And maybe get some consistent season schedules going again too while you're at it)

I FOUND THE BOOK WITH THE ORB

I blogged some links to horror games (they’re the same 4 games I ever discuss, sorry), plus some links to leisure reading: journal.jennfrank.net/happy-days-a...

Bill Gates out here today adding yet another example to the pile of "rich people are very dumb but think they're smart because they have money" with his argument that we should stop trying to curb emissions and instead help vulnerable people, as if exposing them to future disasters is helping them

Closing out 1980 in the Atari Archive blog with Larry Kaplan's Bridge, an incredibly niche game that apparently had quite a following in certain regions. Plus the year end roundup: www.atariarchive.org/blog/bridge-...

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

A good reminder for all the indie game devs out there. What we do is very difficult. It doesn't always work out the way we might hope. But you created something from nothing and put it out into the world. That matters. You matter.

It’s exciting when someone publishes long-form on a subject you’ve been researching for years. Here’s a thread commenting on this article in more detail. If you do the retro computer, read the article & then come back here. Apologies and respect in advance to @ernie.tedium.co 🧵👇

I forget who, but years ago someone once referred to my Atari videos as the "Velvet Underground" of historical retrospectives in that they didn't get massive viewcounts but were influencing how other people considered their approaches and perspectives

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.

hey i know things are hard but just remember YOU are charismatic megafauna

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

I must confess, "China killed fossil fuel hegemony by simply overproducing solar infrastructure until oil couldn't afford to compete anymore" is something I look forward to reading in future history textbooks.

Guess I’ll need to start saving up for this one

huh; today I learned that the Atari 8-bits can do artifact coloring... as long as you don't use the S-Video output (look at the lives in the lower left for a prime example) and of course it's Mr. Do! of all games which uses this
