I'm scanning the front surfaces of the CDs to capture what's written/printed on them

I never noticed how expressive Kirby's movement is. When he lands after a long fall, he bounces (on his face)! You're playing as a *character*

Got my flight for MAGFest! See y'all in... three months??

Decided to revisit Kirby's Adventure, which I haven't played in ~30 years. Boy that's a great game! Maybe the best NES game?

Interesting! I believe these spreadsheets have a separate schedule for Genesis development, so it could be interesting to compare/contrast them

Items on the development timeline include "Terminate old animation contract" and "David Perry enters the team."

Wait wait wait hold on. Did Dave Perry consult on SNES Pitfall? That would explain so much about why the final game looks/plays looks it does

An extremely detailed week-by-week development timeline noting various phases of testing and art production.

I also caught some non-specific mentions of "Pitfall turmoil," in reference to production issues with Pitfall: the Mayan Adventure

The development timeline for that game is unusually detailed compared to other projects, so they must have had to micromanage it to meet their deadline

It's such a silly idea, but realizing that it was being done in the vein of their own Mutant League-esque franchise, it makes so much more sense

My favorite is that we finally have context for images that popped up online a few years ago of an Alien vs. Predator football game?!

Activision had previously made a combat football game (Grave Yardage) and they kept pitching this concept of Fox, who said "ABSOLUTELY NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gonna keep tooting my own horn for a second: This collection is a lot of fun for researchers to dig into. People are already finding info about unreleased games, the inner workings of the games business, and data points that are helping us put together new stories about Activision in the 90s

Giving yourself a disease to avoid having to play Banjo-Tooie

An isometric game with skulls in it. The graphics are done in the 4-color DOS CGA palette (red, orange, green, black).

‪It's October, which means it's time to play ｓｋｕｌｌ, a game that is only available in October ultimatewalrus.com#skull

You can just buy a calzone. No one can stop you. It's incredible

A fluffy tabby seems surprised that I interrupted her playing

Hi Mirri! #cats

I think that one was also called The Sex Issue
