Famicom in 1983: This isn't even my final form. Famicom in 1985: Just need the disk drive now! The Family BASIC Pack (1984) enabled the Famicom to live up its name and evolve into a home micro. Quite a few type-in and hobbyist games were released that took advantage of it. 📖: BEEP, March 1985.

Bronchial Asthma. Now you don’t have to give them clicks profiting off of someone’s death. He was one of the main dudes that got me back into wrestling through NXT. I need to watch his Dragongate runs.

Gameplay footage of Devil Zone, a single-screen shooter released in 1981 by Universal. Conceptually similar to Nintendo's Radar Scope, Devil Zone's main attempt to deviate itself from the sea of early-80s space shooters is its bizarre, erratic enemy patterns.

Scanline Sunday! Snatcher MSX looks fantastic. Art is much more raw and hard-edged than later ports that progressively got softer. Truly shines on crt tvs.

Another Scanline Sunday dawns! Show us your delicious phosphors, masks, and CRTs (and really good shaders!) I've chosen some Tactical Espionage Scanlines this time, courtesy of the STATION 7 demo disc and its cool themed menu and meaty MGS demo. (PS1 RGB SCART Goodmans GTV372VCR.)

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.
