Hey zusammen, heute vor genau 37 Jahren (am 21. April 1989) kam in Japan der allererste Game Boy auf den Markt. Ein absoluter Feiertag! 👾

Ich habe dazu gerade auf Mastodon ein bisschen in Nostalgie geschwelgt, weil ich als 3-fach-Dad heute sehe, wie meine Kids bei jedem kleinsten Ruckler meckern – während wir früher auf dem Rücksitz im Auto krampfhaft auf die nächste Straßenlaterne gewartet haben, um bei Tetris oder Super Mario Land überhaupt was zu erkennen. 😂

Mich würde mal interessieren: Hattet ihr damals auch diesen völlig absurden Lupen-Aufsatz mit Licht? Und was war euer allererstes Spiel (außer Tetris)? Lasst uns mal ein bisschen in Erinnerungen schwelgen!

Is Y2K: The Game a deft exploration of late '90s digital anxiety? No! But is it a fun game anyway? Also no!

"[Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain] is expected to offer at least 120 hours of gameplay."

Hii everyone!! ☺️ Here's my two GameBoys that I have had since I was a kid. I'm thinking for the GameBoy Color to do the screen upgrade with backlight. For the GameBoy Pocket, I will need to do a screen replacement which I want to go with an OEM replacement, or at least OEM spec. I also need to find a battery cover replacement for the Pocket.

Any advice on what to look out for opening these up? And also any advice on where I can start sourcing what I need?

Thanks in advance!

Like many of you, I have a decent amount of systems. Unfortunately, this means I always have a mess of cords. I don't enjoy unplugging and replugging stuff to move it around (not to mention it's hard on the ports) so I usually leave everything attached. But I pretty much always have a mess of cords, just from controllers alone.

This is probably unavoidable. I was thinking of getting some commercial shelving like I've seen some people have so at least every console can have room on it's own shelf, rather than being squeezed together on a desk like I have them now.

The Warhammer Classics initiative re-releases 28 vintage Warhammer and W40K games, with Steam debuts for Shadow of the Horned Rat and the original Chaos Gate.

Pure. 1990s. Fantasy. Soundtrack. Stuff. Enough said.

Also I thought the game was basically unplayable for the longest time! It's now on GOG preservation.

In these interviews, developers from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems discuss the making of the original Paper Mario, an RPG with a unique papercraft aesthetic.

PS1 games and memory cards are all originally mine from when I was a kid, same with the GameBoy games and the GameBoy Pocket.

The Pokemon Stadium and Digimon card books are complete as well 😊

I’ve been meaning to share this documentary on the blog for some time. I met its creator, Max, a couple of times while visiting the Freeplay Florida event a few years back. He mentioned that …

A "new" prototype of the game Punch-Out!! on NES was been found and archived. It's one of the most unique prototypes found ever given its a game from Nintendo. There are placeholder stuff everywhere, its unfinished and has no audio. Playable on any NES / Famicom emulator.

Download playable Rom: https://tcrf.net/images/a/a0/Punch-Out_%28Prototype%29.zip

Learn more about all the differences at: https://tcrf.net/Proto:Mike_Tyson's_Punch-Out!!

And the already linked post video from The Video Game History Foundation: This Punch-Out!! Prototype is Unlike Anything We've Seen Before

Important note: Rename the Rom to "Punch-Out!! (Proto).nes", the way No-Intro group does. Why? Because not following that naming scheme is a crime. (Just a joke, do whatever you want.)

Found through Spillstorie.

It will be available on https://psytronik.bigcartel.com/, the coming soon entries already up in the catalogue.

Also going by the description of this edition specifically, it sounds as if users will be able to buy just the digital contents, instead of having to get a physical edition for those.

I've been playing Old School Runescape during zoom meetings but I've done all that can be done in a free account and I don't wanna pay the exorbitant membership fee.

Looking for recommendations for a similar game that doesn't require a lot of attention and can be easily paused/resumed at will.

Must be able to run/emulate on Linux

Insanely good game, can't wait for Tomba 2 with a good sale.

Thought this would be interesting. Anyone else see examples of historic art that inspired gaming ?

Despite a few initial issues like screen flickering, and a persistent 1fps problem when winning a car, I would say RPCS3 has been easy to setup and the game looks decent upscaled to 4k.

Disclaimer: the image in the post isn’t from my game (its from a wiki) because I’m away from my PC right now.

I bought a red Toyota MR2 GT-S ‘97 ASAP and put some 18” 5 spoke wheels on it. I love this car.

The lack of a 20 minute unskippable intro video, not having someone ranting at me the whole time I try to play and a clear game loop with satisfying progression means GT6 easily dunks on modern games like GT7 and Forza Horizon 5.

Get car, tune car, race car, win car, do the licensing tests and then buy a new car and repeat for the next class. Fucking perfect!

Damn near all my favourite cars are included in the game so modern games offer little more than graphics and claims of a better driving simulation.

I find GT6s driving to be a near perfect mix of sim and arcade with enough options to tweak.

Feel free to discuss what you like about GT6, favourite car/s, other retro racing games and emulators you’ve had experience with. I’m just dropping this post here because I’m so happy with this game.
