Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Managed to hunt down two photos of the kitbashed model built by Jim Bowers as reference for the original WipEout game, sometime around 1993 or 1994. You can see the logos on it are harvested from other kits- Toyota and Buick logos, USAF roundels, and more that I'm sure someone else could ID

WipEout was released 31 years ago. Since the game is set in 2052, we're already more than halfway there. 😁 A technical gem, this Psygnosis game made a huge splash on the PS1 (and other platforms). Especially with its electro soundtrack and in-game branding & artworks by The Designers Republic.

I made a ROM hack/patch for Gunhed on the PC Engine also (a.k.a. Blazing Lazers), increasing the overall volume of the music, SFX, and voice samples. github.com/Newsdee/pce-... as a bonus, it includes a utility to inject your own voice samples, if you want to customize yout game further!

Ever wanted to play #SuperMario 64 in a PDF file in ASCII? Probably not, but regardless, "Game of Tobi" over on YouTube has now made that possible, thanks to the #decompilation of #Mario 64 It runs slow & has some bugs, but it DOES work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0F0... #retrogaming #homebrew #N64
