29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

"Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!"

Happy 40th birthday, Space Harrier! Released into Japanese arcades on 2nd October 1985, and blowing arcade fans away with even more advanced sprite scaling than Sega's first forays into it and an absolute riot of colour.

"ARRRRGH!"

👀 I remember the giant single tome of a screenplay passing through our office when they were shopping it to game publishers. Excited to see it on screen as that singular epic.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

In just a few days, you can see SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES on various large screens around the world. I’d recommend it, if only for the greatness. And the loudness. Plus Junior Mints.

After a bit of a break, I've begun work in earnest on my next project! This one is a bit different, and I'm hoping to leverage the amazing work that @bisqwit.bsky.social has done on Castlevania II amazing improvements. I'll be porting their romhack version instead of the original game.
