Ahhaa, I’ve never heard of TranQuillity, but the Irix screensaver is great. It’s called ElectroPaint (ep) and there are plenty of related resources on the web, but sadly no source.

Note: you should be able to DM me now.

Saw these in Manchester Science & Industry (I think they’re still there). I also saw PGR3 in a museum, A MUSEUM, in Melbourne too.

The what, why, and how of playing arcade games at home What β€œWhat” is the easiest part: This is a ramble covering the topic mentioned in the title above – playing arcade games at home, specifically using real arcade hardware connected…

You - yes, you - can play real arcade games at home! Let me walk you through the basics, and hopefully turn something that sounds scary and strange into just another way to experience some incredible games:

Dom and his gang did lovely work on our game. We were delighted with the cover art, promo art, logo and copy.

Space Harrier at 40: how Sega’s surreal classic brought total immersion to arcades in the 80s As they flew above Yu Suzuki’s innovative, psychedelic 3D landscapes combating space dragons and alien rock monsters, the moving arcade cabinet would physically involve players in the action

Sometimes as a writer it is important to really test yourself - to take risks, to break out of your comfort zone and do something radically new. With this in mind, I have written a nostalgic article about a Sega game

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Same. I met him yesterday and was aggrieved that I’d aged, at least, 15 years in the 15 years since we last met and hasn’t even aged 15 months.
Great pic.

Well the good news is my game Millie & Molly works on the #Switch2. I expect a massive uplift in sales with people hoping to push their new hardware to the limits ;) And it’s on sale for less than Β£2 from the shop courtesy of @thalamusdigital.bsky.social

Dean's fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer UK Help Dean Belfield raise money to support Pancreatic Cancer UK

I'm running the Manchester 10K next weekend. It's for a good cause - Pancreatic Cancer UK. My mate Geoff Follin was diagnosed with it this time last year, and it took him by the end of the same month. Please sponsor me. Even a Β£2 donation will make a difference. Proceeds go straight to the charity.

Repost with something that you own that most people don’t.

The SNES was the lead version and was completed first, after I started at the company. The Genesis version was effectively an internal conversion.

I also started my career on Barbie: Vacation Adventure, but don’t tell anyone.
