During the developer Q&A stream for Ridge Racer's Arcade Archives release, a treasure trove of development materials and historical documents were shown off! It's truly wonderful to see all of these items well preserved after all these years. (1) #arcadehistory #coinophistory #namco

This was a great article as always from Adam.
This news has been truly heartbreaking for me. Out of my 25 years working in games, being part of Codemasters rally games was a huge part of it, and something I will always be proud of.

RIP Codemasters makers of many of my all time favorite racing games.

EA Sports WRC Is Dead—And With It, the Legacy of Dirt and Colin McRae Rally
EA Sports WRC will receive no further updates or new content, and Codemasters has no sequel in the works for the 2023 rally sim.

Just completed 6 Golden Coins on the Pocket, it’s been years since I played through it as my go to is always SML1 or 3. Still a class game and a big jump over the first game.

Random game Saturday!
Another portable game for me. Always loved this on Amstrad CPC, but the Lynx version was fantastic too and maybe the best home version along with Amiga and MD.

Thanks again for the awesome US delivery! @aismail.bsky.social I love ex-rental carts, and always wonder about their journey. How many people have played it? How many N64s has it been inserted into? How long was it in service for? Fascinating stuff!

The artwork of #Gradius Gaiden by Yoshihiro Hashizume used on the cover of the Japanese #PlayStation release. Just a small upscale with a slight retouch since the original source was already pretty good. A big thanks to @ovga.bsky.social and the owner for sharing this piece!
