Thanks to @pc98audi.bsky.social, I got this pamphlet for Rune Master, a cancelled RPG from Armor Project for Famicom. While not connected to MSX Rune Master, I still wanted it for my collection of Rune Master stuff. Scanned at 600dpi. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social @gamingalexandria.bsky.social #famicom

Calling all 6502/NES programmers!
We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state.
I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping?

As is tradition, it is time to repost the Holiday special @dark1x.bsky.social and I made a few years ago. 12 Days of Phoenix, putting John through the darkest, most shameful games on the PS2 for a jolly good holiday time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slkt...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

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

Got to do a small lecture/presentation on game development and my career for some students at Hochschule Darmstadt's Game and Animation program. Thanks to @tapirfortuna.bsky.social for allowing me the chance to speak and share my stories!

Back in the glorious old days, we had magazines. And the front cover would have a popular game on it. People would buy the mag for that, and then hear about all sorts of other stuff the journalists think you should know about. The mags were paid for by the readers... it was a solid model
yeah the harsh reality is that we do take a chance on small games no one's heard of a lot more often than anyone thinks we do. but literally no one reads the articles, which then reinforces to the powers that be that they're not worth doing. I don't know how to solve that problem!
I've been doing this all year but indie journalists have the same issues as indie games. Unless it's a big name, nobody cares.

Saddened to hear that Rebecca Heineman has passed away. She was a true legend and all my interactions with her were insightful, fun and inspiring. A true one of a kind. RIP Burger Becky.

After nearly a year of working out 3 times a week, taking more time to myself, sleeping better and generally just watching what I eat a bit more, I am finally at my ideal weight, having lost 27kg (60lbs). Feels slightly bizarre to be in the best shape of my life having passed 40.

One thing I been working on this year is to put proper value on myself and my time/investment into things. It’s easy to say yes to everything but I’ve certainly felt taken for granted too many times. So do a bit less but overall feel more accomplished and appreciated.

So happy to reveal at #LRG3 the official key art for He-Man by one of my favorite artists @freddieart.bsky.social, and the only thing better than looking deeply at his art, is looking deeply into his dreamy eyes. Thanks for making dreams come true, Freddie!

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

Heartbroken to see Itagaki passed away. Never got to meet him, but have mutual friends that knew him and seems he always lived up to the legend, while still being a good person. RIP.
