There are a couple gas stations where you can wash car windows for tips. Gotta start someplace. I mean, the working title for my game is Skid Row Joe! #gamedev #indydev #retro #survival #adventure #skidrowjoe #pixelart #8bitart

The Salty Sailor is a watering hole in Port Marina. My game is family friendly, so root beer only! Hint: you can buy a guitar and make money playing gigs here nightly. #gamedev #indydev #mobilegaming #retro #8bitart #skidrowjoe

I’m so excited. My AliExpress Earth Bound works on the Retron 1. This is the sort of game that needs playing in a living room on the TV. Granted, it would be better if my TV was a CRT, but I’ll take the win, I have a working OG NES, but I try to keep it light use. #EarthBound #nes #retron #jrpg #rpg

I just got this NES demake of one of the most influential RPGs of all time. Got it for the novelty, but it’s really very cool. #finalfantasy #ff7 #finalfantasyvii #demake #nes #jrpg #rpg

This is one of my prized books. The Quest for Clues. Before walkthroughs were a thing, before the internet was simple, we had guide books. I got this one for Xmas in 1988. It had the secrets for a lot of cool games. #questforclues #hintbook #computergames #retro

They just reprinted some of the old Choose Your Own Adventure books. These came out in the ‘70s and were one of the things that inspired early computer adventure games. I grew up with these books and love them. #chooseyourownadventure #books #adventure #retro #storytelling

Another AliExpress bootleg of a ROM hack. Dr. Who! It’s weird to me that the NES never had an official Dr. Who title. I mean it’s Dr. Who. #drwho #thedoctor #nes #romhack #nintendo #retro #videogame

Last year I stumbled on some NES bootlegs on AliExpress and couldn’t resist. Turns out a couple of them are rom hacks. I knew rom hacks existed but never really got into them… until now. New rabbit hole unlocked. This one, The Beatles Adventures in Pepperland is cool. #nes #romhacks #videogames

Posting will be sporadic for a couple weeks because I’m overseas for a vacation. That didn’t stop me from trying out Dragon Warrior (a.k.a. Dragon Quest) on my Miyoo Mini during the longest leg of the flight. #dragonquest #dragonwarrior #nes #miyoo #handheld #longflight #jrpg #rpg #vacation

They had some free play multi-cabs at the Pac-Man exhibit in Irvine. I played classic Pac-Man and Pac-Land. Totally awesome!
