Got my @limitedrungames.com order of Dreamcast sleeves and a single hobby box (4 packs) of Dreamcast trading cards and opened a numbered Skies of Arcadia card!

Can't wait to use this as a token in MTG lol

Forgot I ordered these Dreamcast trading cards from limited run. I love them?

Happy 25th anniversary to Shenmue, one of my favorite games of all time.

I hope we get to see Ryo's journey continue some day.

Oh, it doesn't stop after three hours. The characters in this game never shut up. I'm five hours in and there's still endless amounts of painfully slow conversation.

People can disrespect the Digital Pictures library all they want, but Slam City and Prize Fighter are actually pretty fun when technology isn't holding them back.

I'm excited to re-release these.

Ten years ago, right around this exact moment, I clicked a button to launch sales of Breach & Clear on the PS Vita. I had no idea this journey would last this long or where it would take me. I am grateful for every moment. Thank you to everyone that has supported @limitedrungames.com!

If you've never been to our physical retail store in Cary, NC, there's no better opportunity than our 10th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, October 25th!

Apparently Red Hot Chili Peppers actually signed for an MMV game, but SEGA demanded a less controversial band and that's how we ended up with INXS

No, unfortunately the archive is pretty scarce on MMV materials. I did unearth some emails between staff brainstorming ideas for future MMV games.

The Hasbro footage? I believe I have that and some footage of the Axlon offices.

I don't have access to the full clip right now as this archive is scattered across several 2TB - 5TB HDDs at my office, but I posted a clip of it on LinkedIn a while back www.linkedin.com/posts/joshfa...

Oddly enough, I have a great video for that of Bill Gates playing an unreleased "Make My Video: The Cars" on Hasbro's Control Vision console

I have some paperwork that shows DP actually licensed a few stock video explosions for Citizen X and I have a U-matic tape containing film for the game. It's possible I have the missing explosion somewhere.

I will try and remember to upload it somewhere along with the 15 minute interview that preceded it.

Even worse, imagine paying that for Make My Video with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

Yeah, pre-Windows that was probably the easiest way to distinguish the section.

Extremely rare b-roll footage of an Electronics Boutique in late 1994 or early 1995. Enjoy it!

I found this among 40TB of files from Digital Pictures' archive.

We spent the last two days in Redmond for a few meetings with Nintendo. Today, I got to eat a pizza cooked by Doug Bowser himself. We also played some Mario Kart, and one of my co-workers narrowly defeated Doug in a knockout tour! It's going to be very hard for any other work trip to top this one.

I am in love with our Dreamcast game case keychains. If it wasn't clear from our mockups, these little guys open up and have tiny discs inside.

Everything snaps securely, but I loosened it all up to show it with one hand.

Even after 30 years, the Windows 95 startup sound still gives me chills.

Something about it is nostalgic in a way few other startup sounds are.

If they'd gone for a complete boxed N64 set, they would have quickly come to realize how hard it is to find the two Elmo games CIB.

This is why I like collecting full sets - discovering the deceptively rare games that otherwise are never talked about.
