I'm the Unreleased NES Games Guy, so "revive a lost NES game and get it officially released" has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. That it is a fundraiser cartridge with 100% of the profits helping even MORE preservation work happen is even cooler than I'd hoped. I'm proud of this.
We're partnering with @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social + @megacatstudios.bsky.social to release Xcavator 2025, a never before seen NES game from the legendary Chris Oberth.
100% of profits go to @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social!
Pre-order now to play the newest old game on the market: bit.ly/xcavator-2025

The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
