These aren't new to the internet or anything but I just dug out these Mother 3 screenshots from 1997, I heard Bluesky likes Mother 3

I've got the original gigantic Konami horse render you've been asking about, freshly digitized from a press kit

So the good news is that we won that mysterious promotional Toonstruck VHS on eBay. The bad news is that the tape inside is labeled MAGIC TAPE and has some off the air recordings of The Simpsons and wrestling

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Hi, please give what you can

I was asked to see if we had anything showing the StarFox demo animation that Nintendo had when it debuted the Virtual Boy at E3 1995. We do, but it cuts out really quickly, and the jump cut to the confused man is making me giggle.

Restless at work for a bit, give me a game title that was announced but never came out from, let's say 1993-1999, and I'll dig into some of our unprocessed material to see if we can shed any new light on it.

If you give Mario a happy meal he glitches out and gets weird, that's why you never see a McDonald's in a mainline game

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

Someone dorkier than me please ID the artist so I can spend the rest of my life trying to find the original art for Superman Raisins

This game was crazy, they were like cars sliding around on the ice into each other. Jersey colors were Invisible Snow Camo vs. Loud Safety Vest. They had to stop throwing the ball because no one could see it.

PS1 Beavis and Butt-Head are here to make your day better

I didn't know he lived in Vermont, crazy

If game jams are still a thing there should be one where every game starts with this screenshot

Please enjoy this nearly three seconds of footage from the original Mother 3, newly captured off of a tape we're working with

Some days at work you digitize long-lost video game ROMs like you're a video game Indiana Jones and other days you babysit a video tape of someone playing "Blasto" by Sony Interactive Studios America for the PlayStation home video game console

When shit is bad I seek art with uncompromising beauty, like these screenshots of "KONG KING" recently posted on the bootleg games Discord

If I were hiring games writers I would be laughing like a super villain at my sudden fortune of having Ash Parrish available for work

Me when you show me an Amiga-ass demo scene thing 🥱 Me when you show me an Amiga-ass demo scene thing but it has Batman in it and is sold by Sega 😍

This is sort of a niche topic I guess but I met the author of my favorite Atari 2600 game and he was cool as hell, so I got him on the show. I also brought in my former co-worker Kevin, a programmer who was inspired by the game, and we had a really great chat breaking down what makes it so great.

Currently watching these guys tell me about ken griffey jr. on the n64

My high school had two cops that hung around doing whatever the hell school cops do, Officer Baco and Office Chavez. Someone, I wish I knew who, started calling them Bacon and Chives one day, and it spread immediately. Just absolutely savage, literally no one took them seriously after that.

I need you to know that I don't make these posts and that this display of Dizzy does not represent the views of all employees of the video game history foundation, inc.

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

Got an email from Shopify letting me know that our items will be on external AI storefronts soon. Asking their AI help page how to turn that off hallucinated a link, then hallucinated connecting me to a human. Made my own way to a human, they made me screenshot the email no one told them about.

extremely funny youtube thumbnail I just saw

Every slide by @kendraserra.bsky.social is 🔥 This was their hot take about Stop Killing Games

Recovering the digital files for a Super Nintendo box feels like forbidden magic. It is the Very Canny Valley. It's like I'm emulating real life without an analog filter.

I spent the morning going into an unprocessed collection because "I think we have footage of this too!" and it turns out that we have the exact same tape. I think ours is the master shot by @parisi2274.bsky.social

I was already upset about not being there but damn, this really hurts, I'd have loved to have seen this.

I spent this afternoon digitizing "magneto optical" disks, a format I'd never handled myself before today. It's a pile of stuff related to marketing at Time Warner Interactive. Here are some very high res digital paintings made to promote Primal Rage.

Thanks to your donation dollars we can do important data recovery work, like uncovering the print art used for Generations Lost on the Sega Genesis, revealing two abs that were thought to be lost due to cropping

I found the original vector files for Game Gear boxes and I can't be trusted with power like this

I recently said that my motivation for preserving video game history is to inspire beautiful new things in the world and then five days later this happened

I lived in Vegas for 23 years and have put at least 250 hours into Fallout: New Vegas and it JUST hit me that Jacobstown is Sam's Town, a way-off-strip casino I have spent a lot of time inside. No bowling alley in Jacobstown though

Just when you thought a landmark year for historical video game research was over!

damn that baby looks cool as hell

Trying not to dwell on weird comments but this response to my video "The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System" is next level. This should win some kind of award. This is a fifth grade playground burn, a troll I didn't know I was nostalgic for.

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...

There is a YA fiction book about meeting Honus Wagner, a baseball player who is only known today because his baseball card is worth a lot of money. I hope I live long enough to see the film adaptation of Stadium Events.

Having a video go viral is a chilling reminder that there are humans out there just choosing to stumble through life with zero curiosity and a lot of anger. I'm really thankful to have found (and/or founded!) communities that try and leave the world in better condition than we found it.

And on that night, Ebenezer Sega, CEO of Sega, was visited by three spirits: 1. The Ghost of Christmas in America, who recommended they make the 32X 2. The Ghost of Christmas Japan, who recommended they make the Sega Saturn 3. The Ghost of Christmas Brazil, who just wanted more Master System

Christmas gift to myself was a nice high end dedicated audio player! I'm getting rid of all subscription services and focusing on offline media, this is full of FLACs of cool 2025 albums I bought directly from the artists.

And Tiny Sim, who DID die

Four minute warning! Come hang out!

Miles Morales is a great Christmas game btw. If you've played it before you can blast through the main story in 8-9 hours and there's decorations and snow through the whole thing. Also it's really sweet, it's about loving and protecting your community.
