What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

If you see 'Super Mario Bros 0.3' among some shareware and demos on an Apple II GS hard disk image, then it's something that must be immediately investigated. And oh yes, it's as cursed as I hoped it'd be.

🌄 Good Morning It comes as no suprise the Internet replaced CD-i technology, leaving it somewhat redundant, however did you know that the #Internet actually had a home on #Cdi, 30 years ago in 1996? Yes, with a Modem, keyboard & some clever software, it was possible! #GamersUnite #RetroGaming

going to exclusively call it "the sega master system of interactive video entertainment" now

40 years ago: Sega Master System arrived in America with an ad campaign that made it look like the coolest thing ever. (It was, in fact, pretty cool.)

fun fact: the sega master system was not manufactured, they just appeared in stores one day, a bit of the universal video game technology field fluctuating and producing console hardware except in brazil, where they were made by tectoy

for the authentic ender's game experience, when you're playing it you think it's a virtual pinball but then after you lose your last ball it's revealed it was all real

Old 3D Zelda games are like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask right? Breath of the Wild is still pretty new...

For @nicole.express. I was looking around, for a list of Arcade Card Pro enhanced games, and, saw your blog post. So, here's two photos I came across on a forum. I figured you might be interested. For everyone else, it's an open Arcade Card Pro! Open Super System Card 3, for comparison.

This issue also has an amazingly negative review of the Commodore 64. "Nobody likes programming for it." The sound is too complicated and worse than Atari's. The text is unreadable. The sprite support is bad. Joysticks don't work right.

If you're looking for a gift for the Atari enthusiast in your life, look no further.

Lockard's story is incredible. He appeared on a 1987 "Computer Chronicles" to discuss turning his Mahjong Solitaire game into Activision's "Shanghai." www.computerchronicles.blog/computer-chr...

The original Mahjong Solitaire (Brodie Lockard, 1981) on the PLATO looked glorious. Also clever to show stack height with outline width.
