Last month at PRGE, we held a reunion panel with Nintendo employees who launched the NES. Hear from Bruce Lowry, Gail Tilden, and Lance Barr about how the scrappy staff at NOA defied all odds and released one of the most iconic game systems ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WDfsiLiRA

STOP THE PRESSES.

The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.

Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

Agentic AI feels like everyone using a leaf blower at the same time. It saves someone time only by pushing that time & effort to someone else. Customer Support use cases being touted as a great example always seem to fail to ask the people receiving support rather than the business who saved money.

A lil something to take the edge off before the train home 🍁💖

Switching gears to the GeekEasy Anime cafe to unwind from the excitement of PRGE, feeling overwhelmed by the excitement of it all.

Had to leave PRGE early to make a pilgrimage to the antifa frog at the Portland ICE protest.

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

Hey! Did you get an NES Classic mini console but you don't care about the manual/poster it came with? Put it to use supporting @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! I'm seeking these out for fundraiser autograph opportunities, but need them ASAP. Let me know! Can pay!

Collectors! Store owners! Hoarders! Help us out! @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is looking to source copies of this 1985 NES pack-in poster for fundraising reasons, and we need them asap. We already cleaned out eBay. Note that they need to be the ones that say copyright 1985, as pictured! Can pay!

Today I'm releasing an early prototype of Nintendo's "Joy Mech Fight" (FC), from over a year before its release! This build, then named "Battle Battle League" (FDS), was created for the 1992 Nintendo-Dentsu Game Seminar. Links are below!

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

Thanks to mo_the_pro, a prototype build of Mario Artist Talent Studio dated 6 months before release has been dumped and released!

You can find it alongside a music rip here on 64dd.org.

Video from PAX 2025 of the Art of Nintendo Power @artofnp.bsky.social exhibit, I was over caffeinated and moving way too fast but 60FPS & 4K at 50% speed means you can still read everything 😂

Mario's Missing?

The art is also a 80MB ultra high resolution PNG if someone needs to see the texture of the canvas 😂

No, that would be awesome but I even gave up on the step down with raw VHS captures and the manual interlacing as each rip was so large for marginal quality gain. I have one Domesday duplicator and put it in a laserdisc player.

I'm digitizing a bunch of VHS tapes of old TV recordings, is there anywhere that has a collection of recordings people are seeking? Hate to just trash the transfers of the parts I don't need if someone is in search of old games or broadcasts. Commercials I'll check YouTube and upload any missing

I absolutely would but I'm going to the opposing Brownies & Lemonade rave at Seattle Center the same day 😂, thank you for offering it sold out so fast!
