Quizardry tabletop RPG from Lost In Cult.

Many moons have passed since I’d ordered Quizardry from Lost In Cult/DYKG. So long that it was a surprise upon arrival as I’d long forgotten. Despite the tardiness, this card-based “Trivia Dungeon” game looks absolutely pitch perfect. Spoof? …homage? Maybe a bit of both? The cover has me lol’ing 🤣

There are much more exciting #Zelda 1 maps to come BUT at least these are cleaned & done. If you want the RAWS, or 2400dpi files that were often too large for Flickr to handle, there should be links with each file to the Internet Archive pages with the download zips: www.flickr.com/photos/histo...

Title screen for Vampire Killer, an MSX2 videogame. Title in blood-red lettering is overlaid on a solid blue ribbon with a film strip motif. The scene evokes a classic Hollywood horror film vibe. Dracula’s castle is seen in silhouette alongside the title. ©️ Konami 1986

I finally got the excellent 1chipMSX core running on MiSTer. And just in time. 🧛🏻‍♂️

Colony Wars ad poster is bordered in red. Artistically rendered chained hands reach for the sky while space ships fly overhead. In the background a mysterious figure’s outline looms ominously among the stars. “Cry Freedom” is printed in bold yellow lettering along the bottom. The game’s screenshots, title copy, and ad copy are featured under the poster art.

Totally kickass ad poster for the criminally underrated Colony Wars on PlayStation 1.

To my of-age Glow-in-the-Dark fanatics out there (you know who you are) don’t sleep on the Angry Orchard hard cider thriller pack. They have a fun Friday the 13th tie-in and as a bonus the box has a pretty neat GitD design. I’d post a pic but it’s funner if you see for yourself.

Image shows the cover of the Summer 1979 issue of VIDEO magazine. There is a fit woman in a gold bikini kneeling on some grass in a tropical setting. She is holding a mobile camcorder to highlight the advanced state of the art camera technology for the time. On the left side of the cover, article summaries are printed in bold white text. Vacation With Video is the featured article.

This issue of VIDEO marks the very first appearance of the first recurring column on home video games to feature in a nationally distributed consumer-focused magazine. The column was called Arcade Alley, written by Bill Kunkel and Arnie Katz, and would continue to run until the August 1984 issue.

Then, like, just turn the feature off that’s annoying you?

PCEWorks correcting the mistakes of the past.

Awesome! Please sell a batch of these so we can play too 🙏🏼

Director: we need you to cry in this next scene.
Crawford: which eye?

Crawford is the best that ever did it.

Immensely thankful.

Game over, man!
GAME OVER!

Audacity Games’ award letters and achievement patches for Allen Abduction for the Atari 2600.

With a nod to their Activision roots and the halcyon days of the Atari era, Audacity Games will still send you physical patches for meeting certain achievements on their Atari 2600 games. Shown here are the two patches and letters you can get for Alien Abduction, the spiritual sequel to H.E.R.O.

So here I am, just y’know, casually flipping through issues of The Logical Gamer, like one does now in this modern world of wonders. 🥰

Doom: The Dark Ages looks phenomenal… meanwhile

Good things come to those who wait - the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library launches on January 30th, 2025. (We'll tell you all about it then!)

I just scored tix to the Seattle show! 🤘🏼🤖🤘🏼

EDSAC FPGA

Altair 8800 FPGA

Mind blowing that we can boot up historically significant systems like the Altair 8800 and EDSAC (+ many more) on MiSTer FPGA. The pix show the UI overlay for these running on the 77” OLED 😎 - it’s a great way to experience and interact with the history of computers. #knowyourroots #notjustforgames

Ah yeah, that’s too bad as Goofy deserves better. Might be worth it just to hear that sample a few times tho 😜

Looks like this action focused Goofy game would’ve felt right at home on the NES. Too bad we never got a port. I unfortunately don’t have the disk (box only), has anyone played this? Any good?

Bram Stoker’s Dracula for SegaCD (title screen)

Bram Stoker’s Dracula on SegaCD is uneven, unfair, crudely animated and yet… it has a certain charm.

Strider. As a SNESie I’d never been so jealous of the SEGA cultists.

Assembled my new transparent smoke MiSTer Pi case. Feels more like a legit console now. Totally love it.

Playing Arkanoid vs Space Invader+ (Apple Arcade) using iCode’s Arcade Spinner Ultimate controller.

Probably a small niche of interest here, but for what it’s worth iCode’s Arcade Spinner Ultimate works with zero configuration on Arkanoid vs Space Invaders+ on iOS Apple Arcade. Hold yellow button to move vertically, hold blue button to move horizontally. If you tinker I bet there’s better configs.

BigPEmu version 1.16 is out now, and the iOS port is live on the App Store. This version boasts an incredible number of improvements to the emulation core along with more than a few new features!
