I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file.

PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields.

For the past 5 years I've been using this tool I made called Binxelview to reverse engineer game graphics and map data from all sorts of different games. If you're curious about it, here's a visual tour of the program.

Did we dig up a totally unseen Atari 2600 game from 1984, programmed by one of the few women creating console games in the early 1980s?

And did we interview her?

Yes we did.

Atari 50's "The First Console War" DLC, out November 8.
Almost lost forever, M Network's Tower of Mystery is a 2600 action/RPG last seen in 1984. Working with programmer Jane Terjung, we are proud to offer it for the first time in #Atari50's "The First Console War" DLC pack, out November 8. www.digitaleclipse.com/games/atari50

Some of you i know from tw/x, but lots of you are new faces, so i’m just going to start dripping my best-ofs.

This is 100% NES displayable without cartridge expansions on its own. Cat & gold chain as sprites. Using emphasis bits to narrow colours towards cold.
