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...

Regarding Sony's disc-continuation: What I will settle for in 2026 is a FREELY SHAREABLE LICENSE. There may be nothing on a Game Key Card or the majority of PS5 discs, but at least I can hand it to my friend and they can play the goddamn thing.
I've been doing some archaeology on 90s CG boards and I'd like to talk about the completely unhinged texturing of Virtua Fighter 3. VF1 was literally NO texturing; all detail was in flat shaded geometry. VF2 was beautifully painted textures (16-shade grayscale colored with a LUT). VF3 is this: 🧵
A lot of people think Mario’s full name is “Mario Mario,” but that’s not right. That’s the Japanese name order. Here, we’d call him “Mario Mario.”
if you're not in the know, hourences leaving epic is the reddest red flag of all time
Okay folks, I have checked my catalogs and I cannot find any indication of what the hell this stick is or what it once was. PS1 connector, The back is entirely custom squishy vinyl so I can't find a maker. The POPEYE is an obvious sticker. What IS this?
How is it that Bubsy gets re-releases and BOOGERMAN gets absolutely nothing
NEW THREAD of videos now that I got this installed and working! It's amazing! This is the mega-jackpot!!
Maytera Marble@mayteramarble.bsky.social · 2mo agoI found a weird object at the thrift store tonight about which nothing is online. It contains a Japanese CD-ROM from 1997. Let’s see what we can do.

NINTENDO PEOPLE HELP. I'm going through my DV tape rips and I found one of a Spaceworld presentation but I can't tag the year. We've got Yamauchi (???), Miyamoto showing off the original Celda trailer to polite applause, and Iwata talking about Pikmin. Is this '01?
Yo I am about to transport +10kg of cat food and supplies to the cat rescue group leader lady who is in the city to the west of me. It's 18km but there's a mountain in the way. Mathematically my e-bike should be able to handle the round trip (49km range) but LETS SEE
I'm calling it, the store brand beers you can get from Don Quixote are great. They're coming out of somewhere in Vietnam and deliver A+ cost performance.
So hyped to be working with Gamma Studios on AWAYSIS. If you're aiming for reference-level HDR implementation for your game across all platforms, I honestly don't think there's anyone better on the planet.
@filoppi.bsky.social · 3mo agoGlad to announce Gamma Studios is working with 17-BIT, Inc. to bring you the best HDR experience on Awaysis! The game is wonderful and unique, check out the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpgT... Coop demo is already available on Steam, go try it!
I've been playing the heck out of the classic KING OF CHICAGO, and after growing up on the Apple IIGS/Amiga version, what in GOD'S NAME is going on in the original Mac version!?
Oh my god, how is Unity's Shader Graph so incomprehensibly bad compared to Unreal / Amplify Shader Editor? I'm kind of in awe that it's this bad (switching back to ASE immediately)
Got this Switch 2 vertical grip 3D printed in honor of Joe @gamesack.net , thanks for the splendid work @allymobbs.bsky.social!
Q: How to make katsudon tastier A: Cover it with ground meat
I went out to buy milk but I wound up biking home with a 550 yen color CRT
I am in Boston right now for PAX East and did a trip to MIT to explore; classic game company Infocom (among others) came out of here and it was awesome to see places that were referenced in games like Lurking Horror (like the Infinite Corridor)
Time to go through crap in the basement and stuff it in a box to go to Goodwill! Here we go! Paging @jeffgerstmann.com who may remember some of this junk.
Back in my day, 75% of video game marketing was talking about how polygonal boob ladies were going to kick the shit out of you, and I kind of miss it
how dudes see themselves when they boot up Ridge Racer Type 4 for the millionth time It's me. I'm dudes.
Background asset in a video game that you aren't meant to look at too closely
Manhunter New York (1988, Sierra) is a game with an incredibly weird/oppresive vibe and I would REALLY like to reboot it. Pretty sure Microsoft has the rights. Come on guys, I will promise you Gaming Copilot integration or something, just gimme funding
