On a related note, it's often said that Ghouls 'n Ghosts MD was developed in 5 months, but this actually refers to the time Yuji Naka spent on it. The same applies when he says that Phantasy Star II was made in 2,5 months (development actually took way longer than that). vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama8/

Made some new mounts for the screen, only an LCD while I look for a trisync that fits (cab was empty!). Now, for some well deserved VF4: Final Tuned
Putting together Save the Games was one of the most important things I will ever do. Getting to do a second time? Unbelievable. Thank you to presenters, attendees, The Strong, and everyone who got the word out. Save the Games will return!
Three complete full, tiring days later... Save the Games 2 was a rousing success! Thank you so much to @borman.bsky.social for all of the hard work and kind hosting...it was a pleasure to introduce the Life Extend Archive to the community...but the best part as always was building community.
Save the Games 2.0 at the @thestrongmuseum.bsky.social was a fantastic experience. Presenting at a video game preservation conference is not something I ever saw myself doing, and I thank @borman.bsky.social for the opportunity.
Thank you to everyone at Save the Games, I had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. :)
This has been an absolute blast! I will miss the people, place, and constant excitement from this experience! So honored to be on a panel with @musicologess.bsky.social, @eightbitaria.bsky.social, and Sarah at Save the Games 2026 at the Strong National Museum of Play! Will hopefully be back again! 🎮
Had the privilege this week to present at the Save the Games symposium at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY! I met so many wonderful people, reconnected with many others, and saw some brilliant presentations. (Photos courtesy of @playhistory.bsky.social and @ftb1979.bsky.social )

I'm really appreciating the international diversity at Save The Games. This speaker is a PhD student from Brazil studying the intersection of games and cultural heritage
Save the Games AND Dippin Dots in one location? What more could you want? The symposium kicks off in just one hour!!
Save the Games 2.0 launches tomorrow! We're ready! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
There is still time to join us here in Rochester!

Doesn't really do anything beyond this, but I finally got those old XBEs for Pinata Paradise to do something. Behold, a (partial?) menu for the game!
Happily watching the Warped Tour stream.

Digital Betacam with the History of MK, which was seen with Deception. Super nice quality.
