This means you'll be able to pick up a copy of my book on 50 years of home gaming history, The Console, at Debug Games Festival.
Or pick it up and have a leaf through the pages, at least. Every little helps.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially.
I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game.
Pixel approved!
Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

📬 Got my bundle of the first ten issues of @debugmag.com in today 🤗
I’d previously sampled the first two issues and was utterly delighted with the ‘in my hands’ experience of a high quality magazine. So I swooped on a bundle to fill out my collection. Will give dupes away 📮

Chris’ insights into the UK video games sector are always well worth your time
The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality:
On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing.
On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9

"Dreamcast", a haiku
Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."
