#RandomGameSaturday this week brings us one of my favourite SNES games, and the one that always comes to mind when someone asks about games that made you sad. It's the world-reviving action RPG, Terranigma

Here's a cool bit of old video game lore!
The phone jack in the bottom of Konami's Gun Controller (Genesis) was so you could phone up someone you don't like and just fuckin shoot them.

FULL SIZED HDMI I/O panel for the @PixelFXco RetroGEM DOL-001 GameCube is in the bag. Need to knock out the DOL-101 version real quick and launch this puppy!
The DOL-101 RetroGEM support is a game changer. I constantly pass those over when thrifting. Not anymore!

We've been talking more people into getting hall effect sticks, so we've been messing with them more. Interestingly unlike carbon circuit potentiometers, hall effect pots are not interoperable between controllers.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a bad name and that's why it rules
There's something so quintessentially videogamey about leaping directly into the name/colon/subtitle format in a convention that would take movie franchises several entries to achieve, such a presumptuous colon speaks to its gaminess

Now here’s a display where seeing it in person *really* makes a difference. Physical multi-layer display in the back that the black and white game is projected onto. Gives it a genuinely three-dimensional experience; seeing a replica on a TV is so different.

Young people won't remember this, but there was a time when you could just play the Sims by clicking the icon with 'the Sims' on your desktop and it just booted up, without making you log in past three or four different EA players.
