Look at this handsome individual

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!

Kick back and check out this collection of vintage photos documenting Japanese video game culture

at a launch event for Toshio Iwai's Electroplankton, Nintendo pulled out various development materials for his unreleased SNES game Sound Fantasy/Factory. including what appears to be a prototype PCB. archive.gamehistory.org/item/dcd26cf...

This was out of scope for the VHGF photography collection, but I found a bunch of photos I'd taken on my Game Boy Camera. Here's one of me and Todd Howard in his late 20s when I was interning at Bethesda Softworks in summer 99. We played a lot of imported Dreamcast games.

Richard Garriott will restore the FUCK YOU cut

I looked at this stupid site again, and I'm pretty sure they just scraped a bunch of fan wikis and asked Claude to "summarize the game design." So it's just a mishmash of statistics and content summaries organized in a way no human would ever use. What a cool original website you made!

Currently my video of the year. Bizarre, beautiful, weirdly human, paints a whole world in about 2 minutes, mostly incomprehensible

Always funny seeing someone ask Claude to do work for them, then the next day they're like "I DID IT 😎 THE EPIC PROBLEM SOLVER GENIOUS"

Oh okay cool

This is what I feel when I watch Mareepathon

I am at the Cheese Parade, the most Italian thing I have experienced in my life

From VGHF's William Volk collection, here's a design doc for Dinosaurs, an unrealized 1990 idea planned as a point 'n click CD-ROM game with a 'Han Solo-like' dino sidekick: https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/89fdaa09-4c1c-4362-921b-915ed327674e

The Mareepathon finally ended on Day 21, over five times longer than it had been going when I posted this video. I am totally desensitized to Mareep now

@tolkoto.com Give Dan Dragon's Lair SNES and let him use the password system

@mrdo.pro It's truly over...

Has anybody done this yet

Burger King Big Plain (1973-1975): A plain, unadorned burger patty on a sesame bun, with no toppings or condiments, rolled out with a massive advertising blitz. It fizzled out almost as soon as it arrived

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!)
