It’s nice to see that even in this day and age Nintendo continues its roots as a playing card company.

Family Karaoke day. This place doesn’t have They Might Be Giants songs 😭(the other place had 3). So my daughter and I settled on Journey.

I’m never sure what to do with things like this. This cartridge works. It has the game Pinball on it. But because it doesn’t have its label no one wants it. So I’ve just been holding on to it (and many others like it) I just can’t bring myself to throw it away. It feels almost sacrilegious to do so.

Yeah, I never throw that stuff away. I always include it. Those are treasures.
Ah! The copy of Theme Park I just received from you has some hand-drawn park ideas, a note, and even a sales receipt!

I love finding handwritten notes in games. Someone put more work into this virtual fighter move list than pretty much any project I’ve ever done in my life.

Great games! I hope you really enjoy them.
Goodies arrived from @japanretrodirect.bsky.social!
Decades ago I would often look at the expensive imported Squaresoft games for Super Famicom like Front Mission in the basement of Rathbone Place CEX but could never afford them, but now I finally have most of the ones I wanted.

Found my autographed copies of 2 of the bit Generations games. Cleaning my game room is like a treasure hunt.

While cleaning today I found the business card Kenji Eno gave me the one time I met him. It was at a launch party for his game Newtonica. We talked a bit then he needed to go back to DJing. A cool guy. Taken way too soon.

Here is a short clip from the one time we were able to interview the legend @burgerbecky.bsky.social We were making a video about the SNES port of Out of This World and were blown away by the coding magic she used to get it to run without any expansion chips. RIP Becky ❤️
