this one is wild, i guess some sort of online play system, though the fact that they only mention playing with people "down the block or across town" sounds strangely limited lol. looks like this one never actually came out, but i'm curious as to how it was intended to work

never knew about this cartoon maker, sounds pretty cool! there's a reader question from earlier asking about this same method of capturing gameplay on your VCR. i actually did sort of accidentally discover this in 2001 and made Halo trick videos with friends, but sadly taped over them at some point

had no idea Hudson games had these unique branded boxes on NES, the bomberman 2 one is actually kinda cute imo.

also i just really like this illustration of tails.

got a really good mag from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social this month; GamePro from March 1993. in really good condition considering how old it is, and most surprisingly, the poster is still in here!

here's a lil thread of some interesting stuff inside

i think i'm a few months late to the party, but i played the demo for Phase Zero last night and this shit is so good.

this game is a great example of how there's still plenty of value to pre rendered bg's and (especially) static camera angles in terms of how they can enhance horror games

this game is so cool

woah that new silent hill sounds cool

found it! the mod was called Desert Crisis. took some screenshots from a beta version from 2001, likely what i would have played.

i distinctly remember there was a map that played the song Safety Dance, and the mp3 for the song *is* in the files, but i couldn't find any map that uses it. oh well!

enjoyed my first night out of the video production mines by playing some Culdcept Saga with buds. game still absolutely owns and it kills me that it's stuck in 360 jail. would kill to get a new one, or for some indie devs to just fully copy it tbh.

New video! From 1998 to 2011, "KS" created a series of maps and mods for Quake and Half-Life that embrace an unlikely fusion of first person shooter with surreal art, film, architecture, and, naturally, anime girls. youtu.be/M8Dr2CxUeME
