EVERYONE HEAD ON OVER TO ROME'S TWITCH REGIME ROYALE IS GOING TO BEGIN www.twitch.tv/rome_himself...

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.

All of my new followers who are confused hearing we have C23, C++23, and the bleeding-edge on the Sega #Dreamcast, here’s the FOSDEM 2024 talk in the GCC devroom about our quest to bring modern things to 1999 game console:

Sega Announces Fighting Vipers Soundtrack for 30th Anniversary It’s Fighting Vipers’ turn for the 30th anniversary treatment, as a two-CD set of the fighting game’s soundtrack is set for release next month, Sega announced Sunday night. Each C…

We've seen sites sell off to the highest (gambling corpo) bidder, shifting to grifting, or changing course for one more monetarily rewarding. Fellow site operators we considered friends have done it.

It helps that our site was run out of our very own passion, and not for any other personal gain.

Discussions around AI slop and dead internet theory are hard to disprove when it's rare to find other community driven websites like ours. People theorised years ago that, besides the Sinister Six (Reddit, X, Facebook, TikTok, Insta and LinkedIn), most sites would die off... We won't stop fighting.

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SEGA Mark III console in Japan, Astro Climber is now available for free on Itch ⬇️ #homebrew #mastersystem

NES Spieleentwicklung (#45) Christian Dinse von EASTPIXEL erklärt, wie man Spiele für das NES entwickelt Bei Spielen für das NES denkt man zuerst an Retro-Games aus den 1990er-Jahren. Das stimmt jedoch nicht unbedingt. Denn auch...

Last week I was a guest on the ‘Grobe Pixel’ podcast, where I discussed video game development for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). If you're interested, you can listen to it, but please note that we speak German.

Yeah, the Modretro Chromatic may be a cool gadget, but in case you don't know, Modretro's owner is a MAGA Zionist piece of shit. There are plenty of options today (from Analogue Pocket to amazingly modded Game Boys) if you don't want to fund fascism and genocide.

An E-Reader card illustration for the game Pixel Pup. It shows a large illustration of a fluffy dog to the left done in ink and watercolor. She is smiling with her tongue hanging out, and wearing a color that has a "RDC" medallion hanging from it. She is blind and she just has folds for eyes. To the right is the game logo in black and white. To the far left it says "how to play retrodotcards.com/pixel-pup"

About what I'm thinking for the card art for Pixel Pup, a nonogram game coming out for the Nintendo E-Reader.

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)
