Looks like we have another ancient #NES / #Famicom ROM that has just saved from status of lost-media.

"Splatter World"
By Namco, 1993.

It has now been dumped online and can be played on your favorite flash cart of emulator!

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

The NES is 40 years old today, and so is the North American release of Super Mario Bros. I wrote about its various forms over the decades for @endlessmode.bsky.social: each a little different, but always vital, and always Super Mario Bros.
Whether 8-Bit, 16-Bit, or Battle Royale, It's Always Super Mario Bros.
The original Super Mario Bros, which turns 40 this week, is lucky: it got several remakes over the years that retained what makes it great.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Well it's taken a few years but we have finally made it. It took quite a bit to get it over the line in the end, but Lee Bee has done a phenomenal job on the music

BubbleBack, our sequel to Forward to the Past, now available for free on Itch.

I took a Bitsy game I never finished, about a maple syrup heist, and turned it into a poetic memoir about finishing things, for a @gamepoems.bsky.social submission. I'm told it will be shared this weekend at the Winchester Poetry Festival in the UK, which I'm excited about. Takes ~5 mins to play.
