A magazine advert for the unfortunately acryonymed STD's Handy Boy clip on frame, fold out stereo speakers, magnifier,bigger buttons, thumb stick for the original Game Boy.

+++HANDY BOY ONLINE+++

"We had to... We had to do it... We couldn't see your screen... Couldn't hear you... We had the technology... You're an augmented Game Boy now.

"Your move, player."

I had a clip on frame with lights and magnifier for my GBA, but nothing like this.

The Apple IIgs version of this isn't bad but it really cries out for a CPU accelerator

"I bought another Super Nintendo. I wonder how many I've bought so far? I used to play when I was still active, but I was busy with matches and didn't have time. One of my dreams was to buy a white house with a view of the ocean after I retired and play games all day. I'm starting to do that now. First of all, I'll play Final Fantasy, but I also want to play Mario World and Sim Earth. I need a CRT TV."

True pro wrestling legend Bull Nakano: lol I bought another Super Famicom today.

now seems like a fantastic time to mention that while all of the dmca shit was going down, someone put out a fully playable english translation of cookie's bustle! even runs on modern windows (as long as you install quicktime v6.5.2, which is not what the game comes with)! cookies-bustle.net

FYI those logo generators going around lately do not use AI, as per the creator

The fact that one of the bases is in the city of Morón

pixel art of a grey Nintendo 64 cartridge with a white label, bearing the Final Fantasy Ⅶ logo, the image of a buster sword, the Square Soft logo, and the Nintendo 64 logo.

A few of these images I've put together have some aspect of them that is a deliberate mismatch. This is one of them.

Oh dang, that's pretty nice

I do like how you’re only loading the needed tiles; not sure what restrictions the WonderSwan has on accessing tile memory

honestly I find little recursive control code text display systems very fun to write

...VWF, on the other hand, is a pain in the ass

Untrashing a TRS-80 This Model 1 TRS-80 has been through a lot before it was rescued out of an e-waste dumpster by my friend. With some patient work, I should be able to turn it back into a computer. But how bad will thi...

New blog post! This TRS-80 Model 1 was found in the bottom of a trash bin, smashed to bits by heavy printers and cash registers above it. Will it ever run again?

the soda machine in the office got a firmware update and now the plain sparkling water option is branded dasani when it wasn't yesterday

i swear it tastes worse, but i doubt they did anything but change the label

This was Sierra's big thing! As far back as Mystery House when it was just On-Line Systems, though that one didn't have a fill command yet so everything was wireframe art

It's the Pokopia logo, altered to say "Pokopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken". A play on the original Japanese title for The Portopia Serial Murder Case

as a cancer, yeah i can see why no one uses that as their brand

Advert for AI program running on ZX81.

Claude is down this morning, so I am powering up the back-up.

Pretty harsh! I guess I tend to give games more of a pass if there are interesting ideas, and I think there is something underneath all that that could be enjoyable.

Got a new piece here everyone can read on PC-FX exclusive Last Imperial Prince!

A dog toy that looks to be some sort of ball on a bungee cord? With packaging clearly stating the name of the product: N-Gage
