Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

When pigs flew: The strange history of Capcom's Big Bang Bar A story of passion, creativity, bankruptcy and pinball’s downfall

This Polygon article about Gene Cunningham is good background reading, if you don't know much about him. It's about his ordeal with Big Bang Bar, but that took place AFTER all these events I'm retelling.

Thank you @simogo.com. It's great to finally have a game like Device 6 on other platforms. Securing it's longevity. What a great anniversary gift to us. Cheers.

The icing on the cake, of course, would be a physical release (also for Lorelei). @lostincult.co.uk, maybe?

super deformed figurines of the cast of Twin Peaks.

SD Twin Peaks figures made for an issue of Hobby Japan (issue unknown, but safe to say early 90s). Not my scan, so I gotta track down this issue.

Heimlicher Notruf Ihr könnt auch einen Notruf absetzen, ohne zu sprechen. (z. B. wenn ihr euch bedroht fühlt und nicht auffallen wollt) z. B. über nora, die Notruf-App der Bundesländer. Startet den Notruf in der App. Notruf starten Wo ist der Notfall? Bestätigt den genauen Standort (und gebt ein paar Details zur Situation an). Ja, diesen Notruf als "Stillen Notruf" absenden. Setzt dann das Häkchen bei „Stiller Notruf". Die Einsatzleitstelle kommuniziert dann lautlos über die Chatfunktion mit euch.

Teilt bitte und erzählt es weiter🙏

Over 5,000 games released on Steam this year didn't make enough money to recover the $100 fee to put a game on Valve's store, research estimates And over 8,000 games are estimated to have earned under $1,000

Citizen Sleeper 2 received the "Code the Rights - Best Game 2025" award from Amnesty International earlier today, at the CEEGA Awards in Poznań 🥳

It recognizes "games that address human rights topics in an innovative way" and it's a really cool initiative:

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6?
Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

Tariffs might sting the Temus of the world, but they can definitely kill small special interest shops like this.

Still working on my order (funds are tight), but please all don't forget about loverly, small shops like @japanretrodirect.bsky.social !

This is awesome, Ropoko is coming to the Switch (and Steam) on the 9th October. It will include the English translation which I helped the author with :) As for the MZ-700 English release, this should be around or just before Christmas time.

Super, danke Dir. Da werde ich mal einen genaueren Blick riskieren.

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

Und, was denkt Ihr so über das Spiel?
Sieht ja recht interessant aus, für Freund:innen des gepflegten Kartenspiels wie mich.

Neu um Blog: Grafikadventures auf dem SEGA Master System gibt es nicht? Falsch! Es gibt einige Spiele, die man sehr wohl in diese Kategorie einordnen kann. Darunter sogar ein äußerst prominenter Vertreter des Genres.

Einführung in rechte Memes, Gamergate, Affektpolitik der neuen Rechten, Metapolitik, 4chan, Radikalkulturen, Manosphere, Meme Shooter, und und und.

London’s Trans Pride March Just Shattered Its Turnout Record Organizers say it was the largest transgender rights march in the world.

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today.

Gameplay footage of Get A Way, a game released in 1978 by Universal in Japan, and then a year later overseas.

Get A Way used the 16-bit Texas Instruments TMS9900 microprocessor for its CPU, making it the first arcade game to use a 16-bit processor, something its flyer proudly boasted about.

Swear to god, I go offline for a couple of hours and the WILDEST shit goes down

Anyway, prepare yourself by buying my book. It will help you to understand how much Innsmouth no Yakata rules

limitedrungames.com/collections/...

Alles gut danke Dir.
Du bist mit dem Wissen mir schon meilenweit voraus. 😀

"mainly", sorry.

I'm so looking forward to finally play all these games. It's especially great to see Innsmouth no Yakata and Jack Bros. on the list. I would have never dared to dream.

And games released by publishers long gone, where the licenses might be scattered in the wind (J-Wing's Virtual Lab; Coconuts Japan's Space Squash). But why wouldn't Nintendo release their own Nester's Funky Bowling? And hopefully Konami will make a Panic Bomber release possible. 2/2

The cover of the book Virtual Boy Works by Jeremy Parish.

So thank to Virtual Boy Works by @jparish.bsky.social, I saw that the remaining 8 games, which have been published for the Virtual Boy but are not in the teaser picture, are manly the ones to be expected for licensing issues (SD Gundam: Dimension War; Waterworld; Virtual League Baseball). 1/2

Das mit den Tipps, war aber eigentlich als Spaß gemeint.
Nicht, dass Du Dich da jetzt reinstresst.

Uh, I love this.
I'd been dreaming about this, since Labo VR. And finally it's here.
Hopefully the emulation will be good.
And of course, I would love to see a physical collection.
@nintendousa.bsky.social wouldn't you like to contact @digitaleclipse.bsky.social?
