Happy spooky week, everyone! I'll be posting a SpOoOkY 3D scanned keshi every day this week. First up is the Zombie from Ghosts 'n Goblins! This comes from a set of Ghosts 'n Goblins figures released by Takahashi, likely in or around 1986. archive.org/details/kesh...

Your 3D scanned keshi figure today is Grabber, one of the enemies from TwinBee on Famicom! archive.org/details/kesh...
I've scanned a new "uncut" copy of the Super Mario World Morton Koopa Jr. keshi which still has his Fire Flower accessory attached. This is pretty rare! Both the cut and uncut version of this figure are here: archive.org/details/kesh...

I've spent the last week and a half printing and painting these lovely keshigomu figures scanned by @mrtalida.bsky.social for table top games to play with my kids. Thank you sir for all your outstanding work preserving video game history.
Your final 3D scanned Super Mario Bros. 2 board game pawn, and the final one to complete the set (!!!), is..... Hammer Bro! His thousand yard stare and white knuckled grip on his hammer clearly communicate his fervent desire to inflict blunt force trauma. archive.org/details/kesh...
Today's 3D scanned Super Mario Bros 2 board game pawn is Lakitu, who jealously guards his cloud as he looks down upon the Mushroom Kingdom and judges all that he sees. archive.org/details/kesh...

This rules: Knoxville's NBC affiliate made an hour-long documentary about Cyberflix, a local CD-ROM developer in the mid-90s. Drawing on a lot of materials in the VGHF Library from the Andrew Nelson papers! (and feat. cameo from me!)

Your 3D scanned Super Mario Bros. 2 board game pawn today is... Cheep Cheep! That menacingly vacant expression... archive.org/details/kesh...
Castlevania has just marked its 40th anniversary! To celebrate, I've 3D scanned what is by far the rarest keshi in my collection: Simon Belmont! Created by boutique toy maker Zoomoth, as few as 80 of these figures were ever sold, during just two days in 2014! Enjoy: archive.org/details/kesh...
Today's keshi scan is ANOTHER pawn from Bandai's Super Mario Bros. 2 board game! This time it's... Goomba! This week is going to be all SMB2 pawns, by the way. archive.org/details/kesh...
Today's 3D scanned keshi is a board game pawn depicting Buzzy Beetle, from the Bandai board game based on the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2! If the figure looks familiar, it's because Bandai reused it in their Super Mario World board game too! archive.org/details/kesh...

Please check out the following wonderful folks who are archiving our world! 🧵 Starting with @ozidual.bsky.social, a total underdog when it comes to scanning Japanese games magazines and boxes! He’s been especially great with Famitsu spinoffs and Famicom stuff+type-ins archive.org/details/@ozi...
I strongly believe guerrilla archivists and amateur preservationists should stick together and be less insular. If you’re a scanner, digitiser, ROM ripper, or anything of the sort please let me know I would love to follow/signal boost your work! 💛
I've just uploaded a "Demo Disc" prototype build and electronic press kit for the PS1 game BoomBots, dated from May of 1999, around 6 months before release. archive.org/details/boom...

I interviewed @sincama.bsky.social and @luigiblood.bsky.social about bringing the most obscure bit of Super Mario Bros. 2 fandom to the English-speaking world for the first time ever. Also? Peach utters a profoundly offensive swear word. Really!

Dug in and seems Pandemic's The Saboteur used the name "Wildstar" in its files too. Was it an engine name, or Saboteur's codename and they didn't update the project name for Batman? Supports @liamrobertson.bsky.social 's research that Dark Knight was built on Saboteur. Leftovers in Batman files:
