Here's several hundred art assets from the canceled Midway/Warner Bros. game, This Is Vegas.

It's mostly scenery props and clothing. Some may be the original source assets, not the final game-ready assets. There are even some original Zbrush sculpts!

I realized the moment the Riven legos went on sale that I wouldn't have as much money in the bank as I had planned. My balance continued falling due to that scary expense which I made after only a fleeting glimpse. Still, questions of whose hands may one day hold my dollars are unsettling to me.

We finally have a photo of the previously unseen Zelda 1 art on display at the Nintendo Museum.
The cartouche in the top right, subtitled "THE MAP OF HYRULE," depicts 3 fairy/goddess figures unfolding a cloth (making the world?). Miyamoto's signature is on the bottom right.

10 minutes of unedited February 1988 Japanese TV news footage of Dragon Quest III release day in Shinjuku. The long lines outside stores and the cold weather! What's even more profound are the YouTube comments of those that remember their Mom or Dad buying it for them.

R Fred Williams' 2nd batch of game development disks have arrived and are now queued for archiving. These look much more interesting and may have one or two of his 'lost' games on them, along with source code for other titles. New York Warriors and several Dizzy games are written on the labels.
