With the price of USB drives and SD cards being so high now, getting back into burning DVD-Rs might be the best option for me sharing data physically now.

Pretty label floppy disks 💜 I was kindly given a heads-up on how the MSX-Fan animal mascot showed up on the floppy disks included with the magazine. And thanks to 'Bin Bowie' who grabbed a bunch of them and did high-quality scans for IA, we can see just how MSX-Fan went to town on the labels too.

Can these weird "save my family" bot accounts stop interacting with my posts please? Thank you.

Bro doesn't know about the hidden Smurfs mode in the console version of The Sims.

Looks like YouTube videos aren't playing for me offsite anymore. It's a real shame since it breaks posts on Reddit and makes it hard to sample songs for releases on Discogs. Dunno if it's just me with this issue.

This is awesome. I can't wait to try this out on original hardware!

I was just looking through my clipping tool outputs on my computer. I don't remember what magazine I was looking at that had this illustration in it, but this Nintendo Playstation concept design is hot.

People used to phreak their phones now their phones phreak them

As a fan of the James Pond series, it's very unfortunate what they're doing with the games' rerelease.

I just woke up from a goofy-ass dream where I unlocked Alec Baldwin in Mortal Kombat 3, but for whatever reason all of his sprites were upside down.

Somehow YouTube's search algorithm has become completely and entirely useless, autocorrecting terms and words used from band names and fiction and not letting me un-autocorrect them. fantastic job, Google.

Oh my god... FINALLY!!! We better be able to print out stickers of cacodemons and cyberdemons with this port, lmao.

Show me a cool physical game.

The notifications for the eBay app on my phone have been going crazy recently. I guess they really want me to completely drain my bank account for junk I don't need, don't they? :V

Ask anyone who grew up with a Dendy or a Terminator or a Polystation if lack of access to the latest expensive hardware stopped them getting into games

It's been a while since I've checked it last, but today I found out Tomato's EB fansite Earthbound Central hasn't been up for over 3 years. ☹️

Shoutouts to BOOTY!!!

Imagine posting on "social media" and having comments entirely turned off for your posts. It's like you only want to be heard but don't actually want to interact with people. Weird shit.

This is in regards to retro gaming. I hate how anything that's remotely good while being non-mainstream costs an arm and a leg now. I do research on games I'd love to own only to see that they're $300+, and that's without the box. I guess I should stock up on flash carts for every system now.

And the best writing in a Sega Genesis game goes to... ...Beast Wrestler. 10/10

Every time I update and start using the Ebay app it gets buggier and more unstable. Vibe coders are gonna vibe code I guess.

Never forget what they took away from you.

God bless the Italians for inventing coffee soda. That stuff is absolutely amazing.

My copy of Mega Drive Mega CD All Soft Catalogue has unfortunately fallen apart due to the adhesive holding the pages together deteriorating, but I figured this would be a good opportunity to scan it. So here it is available in 600DPI! archive.org/details/sb_a...

Windows 11 is going to shit and Linux doesn't support my industry standard Roland Octa-Capture. I hate computers now.

Well then... I never thought I'd own an original copy of 7 Grand Dad, but here it is.

He doesn't seem too pleased that they made a game about him...

"Members Only" videos have to be the lamest thing about YouTube nowadays. I've been seeing them more and more recently, and only from people who have small audiences. It seems a bit counter intuitive to building a viewer base imo.

Just bought a couple of CDs from a Discogs seller in Canada. I've been avoiding buying internationally for a while, but lets see how this tariff malarkey works.

Today I'm releasing an early prototype of Nintendo's "Joy Mech Fight" (FC), from over a year before its release! This build, then named "Battle Battle League" (FDS), was created for the 1992 Nintendo-Dentsu Game Seminar. Links are below! hiddenpalace.org/Battle_Battl...

I know it's a bit of a shite game, but the game over screen's background in Awesome Possum kind of goes hard.

Me trying to sleep: My new cat at 5AM: MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! MEOW!! I really hope he grows out of this... lol

Getting past a toner's DRM by going into the printer's service menu and resetting the value for the toner cartridge's capacity wasn't something I expected to ever do. The future is weird.

I've recently obtained a full loose set of MSX•FAN Magazine floppy disks and scanned them as I haven't seen proper high detail scans (1200DPI) of these on the internet. #01-33 (46 Disks Total) Feel free to use these however you wish but please credit me. archive.org/details/msxf...

I don't know if there's been a change in mentality in Japan with regard to religious symbols in games, or if Sega was aware that people were going to import its console, but in the JPN version of the MD Mini 2, Shining in the Darkness includes the changes made for the Western ver. ~30 years earlier.

Cracking up that Sega ripped off the Black RX logo for Ax Battler on Game Gear.

If anybody knows of any retro gaming feeds on here that aren't just people spouting off surface level knowledge, please let me know.

Yes it's entirely in Japanese, and yes you probably need an old computer to run it, but I thought this was cool albeit niche. I've uploaded the IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder V6.5 suite to the Internet Archive, complete with 600DPI scans for whoever wants them. archive.org/details/IBMH...

Well then... I can't say I've ever seen a game with a "Daddy's Mode" before.
