Old Vintage Computing Research Presents Rare 2007 Talk On C64
This is one of the rare times where I won't embed the video myself, because the blog Old Vintage Computing Research presented it as a link to their readers, and the video itself is unlisted on Youtube, so it won't turn up in searches […]

Zelda Day 2025
"Zelda Day" is a random thing over at Metafilter. One day long ago, on December 26th, there was a day in which three Legend-Of-Zelda-themed posts were made in one day. Since then I've commemorated the event by making another Legend of Zelda post on the same day each following year […]

Sonic on the Amiga: Mega Drive Sprite Pushing
It's Christmas Day! So naturally the best thing to do is to settle in for a deep dive on programming sprites on an Amiga (20 minutes), from the guy who recently ported Outrun to the Amiga, reassembler.

It's Christmas Eve, and at the moment I'm maintaining a Christmas video watch thingy for friends, so not a lot of time to post something deep today. Here's a video that's been hanging around my linklist for a long time, Nostalgia Tech Lounge on Youtube musing on the […]

Sundry Sunday: Videogame Christmas Radio
I was going to use Pannenkoek's Christmas video this week, but then realized that I used that one last week. Serves me right for doubling up!

Instead have a listen to this collection of video game songs with a Christmas vibe. There's no length notice […]

60 Animated Nintendo Commercials
YES I KNOW, yet another Nintendo thing. Nintendo Adults are the video game version of Disney Adults, in so many ways. One more way now because there are actual Nintendo theme parks.

I maintain that I am not a Nintendo Adult. But they have had a long history of […]

PC-88 Versions of Nintendo Games
It was a weird time. Around the time as the Famicom was just getting started, Hudson Soft struck a deal with Nintendo to release some of their games for the PC-88 Japanese personal computer platform.

Many of these games had weird differences from Nintendo's […]

Action Retro Demonstrates PS2 Linux
It's a weird bit of console gaming lore than Sony was so proud of the PS2's Cell processor that they actually officially ported Linux to it. All you had to do was buy the "Linux Kit," which contained two DVDs, a module that added monitor-capable video out and […]

Leaving Kakariko Village At The Wrong Moment Makes Hyrule Go Crazy
Wow, Ocarina of Time has some bizarre glitches. There is one where if you talk to a character with a specific object in hand, you get absolutely the wrong item in return. I need to pin down the details so I'll talk about that one […]

Sundry Sunday: The Amazing Circus, and Christmas in Mario Land
Two new items. The short one first, a brief holiday video from pannenkoek, the Mario 64 expert. It isn't about beating the game without pressing the A button, nor is it a deep dive into the game's internals in such a way that you […]

Super Monkey Ball All Glitch Breakdown
This one is incredible. The Monkey Ball games are as hardcore as they come, and, for the most part, have reasonably accurate physics that's consistent under normal circumstances. But normal circumstances do not apply at extremely high speeds, where weird […]

Jeremy Parish vs the Nintendo 64
I still don't know how Jeremy Parish can finish all of his video game history subseries before the year 2084, when the Robotrons revolt and destroy human-kind, but he's making good time. He's at last started on his examination of the Nintendo 64 era, with N64 […]

The Basement Brothers look at Popful Mail for the PC-88
Falcom's Popful Mail is one of those games that takes after classic anime. It's almost the perfect anime-styled light RPG, with appealing and fun characters on a quest that doesn't take itself too seriously. It got a good number of ports […]

Sundry Sunday: Eggpo Speedrun
To recap. Ten years ago, Disney hired the Brothers Chaps, creators of seminal Flash series Homestar Runner, to make for them a series of Flash shorts for Youtube and (I think?) broadcast as bumpers, called Two More Eggs.

At that time Matt and Mike Chapman already […]

Blippo+
Blippo+ is a game because it's presented as a game, it was originally presented on the Playdate, and these days games are defined so maximally that anything could be a game. But there is no gameplay in Blippo+, unless you count the random times the signal drifts, a purely artificial […]
