New acquisition for our library: GameFan magazine was briefly rebooted in the 2010s and only ran for 11 issues. This is only the fourth issue in our collection. You rarely see these show up!

the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 💀

Becky Heineman's TASS TIMES IN TONETOWN source code just got dropped at Kansasfest, the big Apple II meetup. Contains source for C64, Apple II 8-bit and Apple IIGS. Contains a higher-res version of the "Becky getting decapitated" image in the IIGS source! archive.org/details/tass...

(Re-uploaded with improved video quality and an error fixed.) Here's the spiral staircase scene from Ys III: Wanderers from Ys across the different versions of the game. For some reason, this scene isn't included in the Famicom and PS2 releases. #Falcom #Ys

Pal demo/prototype of FFX dumped today and I love the menu and thank you for playing screens I live for this shit

Random game Saturday: let’s keep going with Falcom on the PC Engine…oh no, this was localized! I mean the TurboGrafx! I played pretty far into this back when. I’d love to finish it some day.

Oh hell yes. This I honestly never expected. The original is simply lovely. The little bonus one on Steam is also worth the time.

Post a memorable music video. Essentially, anything directed by Michel Gondry (including quoted post)

I had a fansubbed Gundam VHS with this. Immense nostalgia. (I think it was 0083).

Snapped from a Black Magic M-66 LaserDisc release: An earlier version of Bandai Visual's wonderfully mysterious EMOTION label ident.

Can I get some lost media found hype for this uniquely awesome-looking two-part Win95 RPG by Cybelle, called Dungeon Toon: Hottara Land no Ohimesama?? 😸 Available from today at: archive.org/details/dung... (Part 1) archive.org/details/dung... (Part 2)

This is 🤌

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Pristine pick, aces the assignment

#RandomGameSaturday Hop on the Ace Combat game that's based on a Mamoru Oshii movie (it's as good as it sounds)

Today’s #randomgamesaturday is the original Street Fighter on its only port back in the day for the PC Engine CD. It’s an awful game. Horrible control and little fun to be had, but we got very good sequels a few years later. It wouldn’t happen without the OG.

Today's Random Game Saturday is Blue's Journey for the Neo Geo AES! (Raguy if your AES is in Japan region) A fun little side scroller with an amazing game over screen

Random game Saturday: Legend of Xanadu for PC Engine. Somehow I’ve never played this for more than like 10 minutes. One of the first imports I ever got, too, back in the Turbo Mailing List days.

"The usual, sir?" "...Please."

Decap Attack's opening sequence is still the loudest sequence of sounds known to man.

We brought Poinpy back and it's totally free, as in real free, not 'mobile game free'. Please go and squash some fruit immediately.

Crush fruit and feed the beast in POINPY! Back on mobile...FOR FREE! 🍎 🍋 🫐 🍊

I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I’m miserable now

In conclusion, Swatch Internet Time is the way and the light. It always has been. See you suckers on PIONEER 2

Sega CD reverse engineering. Fascinating stuff. fabiensanglard.net/silpheed/ind...

Spotify radio is evil. I listen to a song I like and then suddenly I’m staying up too late listening to a bunch of good music. (Started with Hairstyle of the Devil by Momus and now Give Me Back My Man by B-52s via Sparks, XTC, Bow Wow Wow…) youtu.be/61Ejm_jC3L8 if you’ve never heard it.

Really hope this movie can singlehandedly justify the continued existence of a genre that’s been actively run into the ground. Hmm.
