I had digitized some VHS tapes for a friend, on one tape was a Spike TV Amazing Videos marathon, and ESPN2 covering 2006 Women's Tennis finals and a NCAA college football game, I cut all the commercials out and uploaded it to YouTube. I did not expect anything to come of it. youtu.be/GNtuJTCitEo

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

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

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

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...

Agentic AI feels like everyone using a leaf blower at the same time. It saves someone time only by pushing that time & effort to someone else. Customer Support use cases being touted as a great example always seem to fail to ask the people receiving support rather than the business who saved money.

Switching gears to the GeekEasy Anime cafe to unwind from the excitement of PRGE, feeling overwhelmed by the excitement of it all.

Had to leave PRGE early to make a pilgrimage to the antifa frog at the Portland ICE protest.

forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.ph... wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

Hey! Did you get an NES Classic mini console but you don't care about the manual/poster it came with? Put it to use supporting @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! I'm seeking these out for fundraiser autograph opportunities, but need them ASAP. Let me know! Can pay!

Collectors! Store owners! Hoarders! Help us out! @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is looking to source copies of this 1985 NES pack-in poster for fundraising reasons, and we need them asap. We already cleaned out eBay. Note that they need to be the ones that say copyright 1985, as pictured! Can pay!

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...

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Video from PAX 2025 of the Art of Nintendo Power @artofnp.bsky.social exhibit, I was over caffeinated and moving way too fast but 60FPS & 4K at 50% speed means you can still read everything 😂 youtu.be/NLxP6XL9uHE

I'm digitizing a bunch of VHS tapes of old TV recordings, is there anywhere that has a collection of recordings people are seeking? Hate to just trash the transfers of the parts I don't need if someone is in search of old games or broadcasts. Commercials I'll check YouTube and upload any missing

Reminder that Beats for a Broken World, hosted by @hushtones.bsky.social @vaultofdiscoveries.com and Doki Doki Beats is happening this weekend! My set starts just after 2:30 p.m. eastern on Saturday/day one, but make sure to tune in all weekend if you can at twitch.tv/dokidokibeats :)

I have been on a huge bleach dye kick while hobby-cycling and my Thou Art Dead shirt from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social bleached beautifully, even looks like a tardigrade or exotic flower bloom on the lower back!

You would be surprised, but there's a new Game Processor RAM Cassette dump that works (from 2008). This is "Asameshi Penta" and you can download it and try it out. I have also updated the Mario Factory paragraph with more detail about how it works and more. luigiblood.neocities.org/gameprocessor

We're finally ready to share this previously lost pre-war film from Japan, "Longing for Rocks and Snow," scanned from a 35mm nitrate print in 4K! Documenting a group of brave climbers scaling Mt. Hotakadake, it includes some beautiful & bold photography! youtu.be/6pICJseZTtI

Enjoy cats purring in the sun? You're in luck!

Another lost title preserved - Mechanoids 2: The Final Conflict for the #SNES, an early side-scrolling mech fighter planned for 1993 but never released. We've recovered two prototype builds you can check out: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/04/mech...

just walk out

The expensive item many might not have is Yoshi no Cookie: Kuruppon Oven de Cookie, the autographed items are always neat, but the real likely to not have items are the Chinese & Taiwanese SFC / SNES games, some I have only ever seen one boxed version of.

BRUTAL review of the educational game Money Town in CD-ROM Today. Holy hell (April 1996, p.87)

I have been working on an all JavaScript SNES assembler setup for a long time, recently I picked it back up & now have 90% parity with the asar assembler (skipping patch specific operations) and can now fully generate these lil slideshow ROMs. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish the website half 💖

this isnt the real bleem, it's piko interactive who bought the name years ago famous for being actively against game preservation while hoarding a bunch of old IPs and sending legal threats to those who dump prototype ROMs oh yeah, they were also very big on nfts. funny how that turned out avoid

I see a lot of complaining regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 prices, like Chrono Trigger wasn't $80 on release 30 years ago. I'm particularly understanding of financial hardships and the terrible economy. I want all the people who worked on these games to be paid fairly. Seems like a big disconnect.
