Cracking up that Sega ripped off the Black RX logo for Ax Battler on Game Gear.

If anybody knows of any retro gaming feeds on here that aren't just people spouting off surface level knowledge, please let me know.

Yes it's entirely in Japanese, and yes you probably need an old computer to run it, but I thought this was cool albeit niche. I've uploaded the IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder V6.5 suite to the Internet Archive, complete with 600DPI scans for whoever wants them. archive.org/details/IBMH...

I swear this is the 3rd time I've gotten a dead/malfunctioning hard drive from a seller on eBay. Nobody seems to know how to ship HDDs. The one that arrived in the mail today was shipped bare in a cardboard box without an anti-static bag or any padding whatsoever.

Well then... I can't say I've ever seen a game with a "Daddy's Mode" before.

Reminder to clean the pins on any used game cartridges you get right away. I was wondering why this game wouldn't boot... Nasty!

Pixel artists! 🗣 When posting your art on here, if you don't want it completely mangled, export at 16x the original size (or a multiple of 8) because JPEG processes blocks of 8 pixels. At 16x, the artifacts are very minimal, and similar to JPEG quality of 100%, even with a quality of 20%!

Well, this certainly flew under everyone's radars! In 2022, Max Nasikan did an interview with Eurocom programmer Jon Williams and released four demo levels from the unreleased Maui Mallard 2 on PlayStation. I've just created a Hidden Palace article for this here: hiddenpalace.org/Maui_Mallard...

I was just browsing games on Yahoo Auctions and saw somebody use the term "Banana Quality" to refer to yellowed out plastic. I think it's way too funny not to use that term from now on.

Oh, okay, cool... I went out to the store for a little bit and it seems Windows decided to restart itself while I wasn't home. The track I was working on in Reaper is gone now. Awesome stuff...

It's Spotify wrapped season! I'm really not too surprised by who my top artists were, but I didn't expect Pop Will Eat Itself to make it to #5. I don't recall listening to them all that much.

For Dinocember, I'll be releasing dumps of the entire Dino Republic series, along with hi-res scans. It appears to be a cute Japanese virtual pet game with extras like trivia and artwork. I'm pretty certain this can be considered newly-found "lost media". 🦖👀 archive.org/details/dino...

Releasing some new hi-res (600-1200dpi) scans and raw flux dumps of "E.V.O. The Theory of Evolution" (46億年物語) (PC-98) today! (The art shown here is downscaled from 6766x5098)! More information below: archive.org/details/46ok...

I got a voice data card for my Yamaha SY77 in the mail today and one of the patches on it is literally named this...

I just came across the first music CD in my collection with disk rot. Sucks because otherwise the disc looks immaculate, the fluttering sounds during playback speaks otherwise. 🫠

Finally got around to scanning/dumping this one: The System Install CD for the NEC PC-9821Cb2! Contains some hard-to-find bundled software, tutorial programs, drivers, and more that might be helpful for some PC-98 users overall! (More PC-98 and DOS/V stuff coming soon.) archive.org/details/nec-...
