Rebecca Heineman's source code disks for Apple II, Apple IIGS, and C64 versions of "Tass Times in Tonetown" were recently imaged at KansasFest 2026 and are now archived. Burger Becky was an incredible and beloved engineer and raconteur who we sadly lost last year. archive.org/details/tass...

TIL Super Punch Out was a Nintendo Power only release in Japan.

Hitting a milestone, about to scan my 500th issue of Famitsu! Scanning all these has been VERY time consuming but I think it's been well worth it for research purposes now and in the future. Hoping I keep my sanity for 500 more! Thanks again to @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social for loaning these.

After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.

www.gofundme.com/f/fund-expen... Hey! We have the last Aerosmith: Quest For Fame in the world. We're trying to crowdfund to cover the expenses to preserve it. This is a unique piece of rhythm game history, and we plan to place it in a public arcade! Any support would be wildly appreciated!

Today is another special day. I am so proud to say I have finally recovered the FULL copy of Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode for Japanese cell phones. After many years of this avoiding us, it's been done. youtu.be/UfpwhMTwMgM

Previously only available as a weird (tape-to-disk?) warez compilation with multiple games on one disk, enix's Magic Garden (PC88 disk ver) has now been properly preserved: archive.org/details/magi... no working crack patch was found, so the D88 was cracked by hand courtesy of the amazing Alpharobo😸

Y'all are amazing. Thank you so much for all the donations. I was able to pool enough to cover all the items and a good chunk of shipping. This means a whole lot and I'll be excited to share with the world
