8-Bit Bros

Throwback to my life in gaming circa 1990. Wearing a T-shirt that says “Die Harder” a free gift from seeing Die Hard 2 at the movies. The classic roll cart for the tube TV and gaming goodness underneath. The good ol’ days.

40 years of slayin’ Happy Anniversary

Shout out to my Dad for keeping the original receipt for my Castlevania The Adventure Game Boy game!

@takiudon.bsky.social Added some flair to the SS1

40 years! Iconic in every way. Crazy…it feels like not that long ago I was staying over at my friends, eating pizza and staying up late trying to beat this game. The game felt so massive in scale. I hope the younger generation feels that same magic in their gaming adventures. Happy Anniversary LOZ 🎉

Alright, here's our look at the Analogue 3D! youtu.be/wyIDr_PDIbI

Made some Banana Bread tonight. One of my favorite snacks.

Hey everyone! Today at 11am EST I will be Premiering a video that's been nearly one year in the making. I worked with some amazing modders and @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social to make this Project a reality and I really hope you all enjoy it! WATCH HERE 👉 youtu.be/0OMP8JvGWNY

40 years!! Crazy to think. My brother and I got ours. Christmas ‘88 with Zelda II The Adventure of Link. It was my first experience with the Zelda series. Needless to say when I discovered the first Zelda game a year or so later, I was taken back by how different the games were. Iconic!

Wouldn’t the better name for this console be the JVC Cross-Eye? You know seeing double and all (Genesis & Sega CD). How did marketing not make this happen?

Can’t believe it’s been 30 years ago yesterday! I remember deciding to rent one right after it lunched at Blockbuster and loved it so much I decided I wasn’t going to wait for the N64 anymore. So many good times with this system.

Commodore 1084 is my go to 15khz CRT. Beautiful picture and more style than a PVM/BVM.

Found these in a Sega lot I picked up at a yard sale. Got them home a realized they both were brand new. Was very surprised!

Happy 36th birthday today Sega Genesis!

Pass it on. #EPClassic #PlayForever

Operation C - I played this a ton as a kid. Portable Contra. What more could you ask for?

Kinda crazy looking but still a lot of fun!

This console revision has had no equal.

SNES Jr w/Voultar RGB board and FX Pak Pro. 8BITDO 2.4GHZ controller. Great Combo!

Found one of those fancy VA3 Model 2 Genesis boards from a lot I picked up. Rubycon caps and a smaller footprint motherboard. Great picture and sound!

I finally found one of the rare NES test market era controllers from a pickup. The board is different and the crimpings for the controller are wired vertically instead of staggered and labeled like the normal later model. Some models also have a resistor on the back.

Tariffs aside, I think the bigger fallout of the terrible communication by Nintendo has led to its loyal base feeling like they are being punished for upgrading to Switch 2. The pricing structures for new and old software clearly was a huge miss for a transition that Nintendo SHOULD be making smooth

1993 side-scrolling beat 'em up arcade game by Capcom, based on the comic book series Xenozoic Tales. The game was produced as a tie-in to the short-lived Cadillacs and Dinosaurs animated series which was aired during the same year the game was released. Lots of fun!

Anybody else hope that #teamasobi is working on an Astro Bot Kart Racer? @playstation.com

Screenshot of Switch 2 home screen. Didn't see this in the Direct. Very similar to Switch 1 which I'm OK with.

Love this franchise and happy to see it’s back!

This is actually the Commodore 1084 monitor from my childhood. We found it some years ago in my parents basement and my Dad let me take it. Still my favorite monitor.

Looks incredible 🔥

New product announcement! There are incredible high-quality audio/video solutions for our retro consoles, but power has been sadly neglected. Not anymore. Introducing the RetroTap -- retro gaming power system. Wire up to 10 consoles to a single power distribution block! /1

Got one of those Summer Cart 64 flashcarts. Seems to work pretty well although I haven’t had too much time with it yet. A cheaper alternative to Everdrive that is also open sourced.

Acquired the last game I needed to complete the original 30 black box titles. Still need some manuals but love how they look together.

Clearly Nintendo pulled an audible here due to the leaks with this very brief hardware look of the Switch 2. Very curious why there is a USB-C on the top and bottom of the console. Maybe some type of planned accessory or system link up?? Really wanted to see more. youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

Picked up a frame for this print I have of Contra III The Alien Wars. Tom duBois was my childhood. Such a talented artist.

The Game Boy has some great platformers. Rare's Game Boy programmer, Paul Machacek, developed Donkey Kong Land as an original game rather than as a port of Country after convincing Rare co-founder Tim Stamper it would be a better use of resources. I think it paid off. Give these games a try 👍

Found a crazy good deal on this locally so I picked it up!

Big pickup today. Happy to have this. Missing the manual and the hang tab is ripped off the box but otherwise a great copy. Only missing Donkey Kong Jr Math now from the original 30.

Been a rough 3 weeks. COVID went through my whole family. Things are better now and I wanted to post something cool I found cheap. Very used condition but very interesting poster from Nintendo and Kelloggs Cinnamon Mini Buns (bottom right). Love the old artwork.

This is looking fantastic! youtu.be/d8DK6Dl3RvA?...

This score is sounding fantastic already. Loving the world created here despite seeing so little of the game so far. youtu.be/o7TVPoxwi74?...

Just came in… now I need to find one of those disc drives that resellers seemed to have taken a liking to.

Contra III: The Alien Wars Cover by Tom duBois

Victor has done an amazing job bringing these classic episodes back to life. Give it a watch and see what gaming was like back in the 90’s! Great interviews and retro goodness in every episode!
