🕹️ Bytes of Gaming History ⏳ Accompanied by an adorably fuzzy squishy Sonic the Hedgehog, the Mega CD debuts at the Tokyo Toy Show in June 1991. All together now... Aww... 😊

Here I thought grading and slabbing video games was already stupid enough, but noooooope...

Anyone want to play some Zillion? What? No, not the video game. You child. You simpleton. I’m talking about the REAL Zillion.

I am really annoyed at Patreon's requiring to merge creator and fan profiles; they even say "You can also cancel any membership before combining.", knowing that this is going to encourage people to cancel memberships! But they're desperate to be a "social network" for some ungodly reason

certainly the Devil’s own Course must be on some layer of hell

TERRIFYING machine from the 50s designed to help you relax

The Samsung Z130 (2005) with a swivel screen, revealing an additional camera for widescreen video calls.

can't believe they added cat ears to c++ :3

Stumbled across the art for SEGA NERDCORE GENERATION, a 2014 album from independent J-core label ALLKORE, and I absolutely love it. Each package variant's modeled after a SEGA console game case, with mascot AK-tan dressed to match. I've included 🔗s to artist pages and Bsky handles in comment below

A Java phone remake of the original ‘Streets Of Rage’ included a remade sprite of Blaze, using her ‘Streets Of Rage 2′ sprite as a base, but wearing clothes more in line with the original game.

One of the early British female video game entrepreneurs and programmers: Anita Sinclair. Co-founder of Magnetic Scrolls (1984). Magnetic Scrolls made a name for itself from 1985-1992 producing acclaimed graphical text adventures such as The Pawn and Guild of Thieves.

This is what I love to see! Aaron reverse engineered the Apple /// Profile interface card and released it as OSH, so any Apple /// owner can now get up and running with a Profile hard drive. (Incidentally AlexTheCat's ESProfile emulator works with the Apple ///) github.com/PCGamerAaron...

Inspired me to create a pride flag on my Apple //e. Happy Pride Month! (Colors are slightly off due to hardware limitations)

I was hoping to demonstrate this last weekend at RetroFest 2026. A true 8-bit Pocket Computer running CP/M on an 8Mhz Z80. On board storage, USB-C or battery powered, internal module bay and full RC2014 expansion bus. It runs Microsoft BASIC and Zork. So it's called the Zorkulator. Please share.

the big problem with electrostatic capacitive rubber dome keyboard switches is that they're too perfect i want to buy more keyboards to satisfy the desire for stuff, but it's not going to be better than what I already have.. even tried the beamspring and model f remakes but just went back to topre

This was my introduction to both handheld gaming & fighting games some time in the earlyish 1980s when one of my dad's clients gifted it to him. The high / low mix-ups I learned at a young age would later translate to many Super Turbo tournament victories🥊

Happy Pride month, from VGAPride and my 60mhz Pentium running MS-DOS.

nice video! i guess copyright law is just over now; starbucks releasing SMB1 rom hacks on emulator handhelds, whatever (they swapped the A and B button positions because we live in a fallen world)

The Berlin Wall has appeared a surprising amount of times in the Mario series, being featured in four games and one ad campaign.

A young Richard Garriott, aka Lord British, in Softline Magazine, 1983. Even as Ultima II prepares to roll out with preorder sales already topping all he's made so far combined, he's still making $1000 a month in sales of his first game, Akalabeth.

only true #starwars fans get it

digging out a classic for the month

I am exclusively on Bluesky to see images of naked breasts. Why are they constantly adding moderation features that hide the posts that people actually WANT to see while I still can't turn off retweets from people who are constantly putting excruciatingly stale discourse on my feed

columbo got the death note

Fact: You can move in the X, Y, and Z axis separately Apparently "you can move in three dimensions, so it's 3D" is a technicality

New blog post! I came across a fully-interactive offline archive(!!) of a BBS from 1994 and wanted to share an interactive walkthrough of it. Let's explore 90s Kansai online and see what people were chatting about. cdrom.ca/games/2026/0...

tragically while gumby did appear on CED he never made it to laserdisc

No accounts. No logins. No day-one patch. No battle pass. No roadmap. Just the controller, and 76,000 games. We didn’t realize how good we had it.

takahashi meijin no bug-tte honey may be among the most baffling video games like, literally, baffling why is it a framing device around breakout, why the wrong letters, why can't i be honey on every level, why is the fairy the girlfriend and not tina, why any of this

Some kind of explosion in the Boston area? Anyone know what's up?

Want to copy Famicom Disk System games in 1987? The appropriately named HACKER magazine will show you how with DISK HACKER. Just how rife computer software piracy was in Japan is a fascinating rabbit hole to fall down. And it extended to the FDS too with the aid of tools like this.

Today's Random Game Saturday is King of Fighters '94 Rebout, the 10th anniversary remake for the PS2! This game's upscaled sprites weren't very well-received, which probably is what led to the much more elaborate redrawn sprites in King of Fighters XII and XIII...

Any time I think about "Sluggo is lit" I imagine a Nancy pinball machine That'd be fantastic tbh

FemLink comics! Link returns, but-

This is one of my favorite rare interviews in our collection. The technical director on Superman 64 just publicly eats shit and is like "our team was terribly managed, we knew the game was terrible, there was nothing we could do and we're embarrassed it sold well"

being a lesbian is so hard. every time a beautiful woman says a truly god awful pun i have an insatiable desire to passionately make out with her.

Pro tip! If you're thinking of getting a Nintendo Color TV Game 6 or 15 because newer game systems are so expensive, make sure you get the variant with the "V" at the end of the serial number, not the "S". Otherwise you won't have true potentiometer controls! nicole.express/2023/not-ano...

It's time.

i wonder why. by the way, did you see the three video ads that followed you as you started scrolling? or were you too busy dismissing the newsletter pop-up? neither, you were doing the cookie consent? yeah, understandable

We're so fucking back dude #BRICKGANG #BRICKGAMESWEEP #YEAROFTHEBRICKGAME

lmao

Patreon really, really wants to surface what patreons I, as a creator, contribute to. Which seems odd to me; like a lot of them are completely unrelated to the sorts of things on my blog? At most you get a deeper idea of Nicole as a person, but who goes to Patreon for that

A white unicorn has appeared! The "GB Smart Development Kit" was a standalone GameBoy cartridge copier that saved dumped games to FDD, and could load them onto a rumble SmartCard. Really primitive FAT functions that formats as it writes the ROM to 16-sector-per-track High Density FDD only.
