As a fun weekend bonus, here's the beginning of ANOTHER console chronology. Two kickoffs in one week! Madness? Nah. This is the Microvision. So the whole thing is only like four episodes long. youtu.be/7wGQiA_X5Pc

Have you seen "Jesus: Kyoufu no Bio Monster" in lists of NES games and wondered what that was all about? Watch this video! Highly recommend

i think one of my favorite pointless things i've learned about recently is that they changed the signs that say "BIRDLAND" in arcade super hang-on to say "BIRD BIRD" in the megadrive port instead

A thing that drives me mad as a trans woman in the US is that there is an organized hate campaign that is trying to kill us as a group, and the best the opposition can come up with is "yeah, let's exclude them from certain sports, agreed" like I know that's not quite true but it feels like it

Today's random game Saturday is my most recent purchase; Berzerk for the Vectrex! I haven't actually had the chance to play it yet

But officer, you can’t charge me for robbing that bank. For you see… I have a license to steal.

It's too late. I've already depicted you as the sad cat creature trapped in a bubble and me as the intellectual Not Bub.

The cover artwork for the PAL release of Mr. Do! for the ColecoVision, which features a rather interesting interpretation of both the visuals and general gameplay.

Dark science, cloning, secrets only the Melmacs knew...

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

"I looked, and there before me was a drunk horse! Its rider was named Hubz, and @quarterpast.bsky.social was following him. They were given power over an issue of Play Meter with a devil on the cover and some kids, and they cursed the world with it in the highest of resolutions." - Revelation 69:420

that's true

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

New blog post! When you want to replace an aging SCSI disk, you go buy a #BlueSCSI. What happens if you want a cheaper BlueSCSI? You can order the parts and build one. What if you want one that costs more AND is more work? Now we're talking. #retrocomputing www.leadedsolder.com/2025/09/16/d...

This passed almost entirely without notice, but the 1978 arcade game Block Fever was preserved for the first time and added to MAME. This was Nintendo's second arcade video game, and as far as I can tell the only Nintendo game that had not previously been preserved www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaWr...

Considering the chain of events that led to Portopia, I feel like it's more like this. That contest is a weirdly important event in the development of the Japanese video game industry. (Not to pick on Raisins since Portopia is very significant and often overlooked outside of Japan.)

What in the fuck is wrong with you (positive)

Aspect Star "N" is 24kiB and has 1 developer, glad to be hanging out in the bottom left (this is quite interesting though!)

New blog post! The Sega Master System... Girl? Another variant of Sega's 8-bit console that I haven't looked at before; I hope you enjoy! nicole.express/2025/sega-mi...

oh you fuckers aren't ready for the VCF-exclusive stickers (if I can finish making them in time orz)

Happy 40th birthday Super Mario Bros.

Today's random game of the day of Saturn is Virtua Racing for the Sega Genesis! (or Mega Drive, since this is the Japanese version) I popped it open so you can see the holy source of all dithered polygons, the Sega Virtua Processor itself

Happy 40th birthday Super Mario Bros

you may not like it, but this is what peak radical ninjitsu looks like

yeah i make video games,

Thanks for the mention! Incidentally, Megu-tan has been up to a bunch of Virtual Lab stuff in the past few months; including remixing her soundtrack for it, and currently working on a 3D render of her character. x.com/Derekmegumis...

So the missing titles are Waterworld, Virtual League Baseball, Virtual Lab, Virtual Fishing, Space Squash, SD Gundam, Panic Bomber and Nester's Funky Bowling?

IT'S TIME FOR TELEROBOXER'S DAY IN THE SUN... INSIDE A DARKENED ROOM SO THE 3D EFFECT WORKS BETTER

This week's Arcade Archives release is Video Hustler, Konami's 1981 adaptation of pool, kind-of. Sink the balls in whatever order you like, and go for the pocket with the biggest multiplier! Dreamwidth post, short one this week! tepidsnake.dreamwidth.org/26729.html

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver (大往生DX-ﾚｺver.-) was preserved by Yuuku! Only sold on December 30, 2007, this is a score competition variant of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX. Given how it was only available for one day, this may be one of the rarest i-mode games preserved so far.

wild that MP3 is an audio file, MP4 is a video file, but MP5 is a submachine gun. Digimon-ass evolution line.

Today's Sega Character of the Day is Dreamcasko from Sega no Game wa Sekai Ichi~i~i~i!

here, have not the iPhone SE, but the iPhone SE/30

Here at Nicole Express, we are proud to announce CatGPT! We'll just switch it on and have a perfect language model of the common housecat! *flip* The city gets notably hotter, people around find their toilets can't flush due to lack of water, datacenter noise drives abutters mad CatGPT: ...meow :3

Celebrated Navajo (Diné) artist Marilou Schultz recently completed a striking weaving. Although this rug may appear abstract, it is a representation of the wiring inside an integrated circuit. It shows the 555 timer, said at one point to be the world's most popular IC. Let's take a closer look...

Today's random game Saturday is Double Target for the Sega Master System! Released in the west as "Quartet", look up the box art of that one for comparison if you want a laugh.

This in-store display for a 2019 line of official Mario clothing is possibly the most inaccurate Super Mario Bros. artwork ever used in an official capacity. Nearly every element of the image is either wrongly sized, misaligned, or placed in a nonsensical manner.

Sometimes I just think about this post and blurt out "ethical!" "moral!" "humane!", I'm sorry
