Illustration of Mario & Toad foiling Bowser's theft of various NES games. Scanned from the January 1990 Swedish Club Nintendo leaflet ("Nintendo Videospelklubb") promoting the 1990 Nintendo Calendar. It's notable for using a Bowser design more like Miyamoto's original 1985 Super Mario Bros box art.

From the same episode that gave us Tuna Ice Cream and Arino pwn’ing a child at a whack a mole game… absolute peak product hustle from this lad. It was also on our first February episode! shows.acast.com/underconsole...

Heartbroken to read this, The Phantasm series holds a special place in my heart and they have carried me through some dark and dour moments in life. Reggie’s constant presence has been a big part of that, -Ash

I always doff my hat to any tv show that goes out live, Scripted or otherwise. This is a great thread, and I love that they had 'wet' and 'dry' takes.

Our episode on the origins and history of the Sega SG-1000 is out! I'm irritated by inconsistencies, and in turn Cliff is irritated by sound effects interrupting him. This is one of my faves for the absolute WTF'ery of repetition becoming history. -Ash shows.acast.com/underconsole...

300+ episodes over 5 years, and were niche AF! We’re doing our best to keep our podcast free of doom… but we will talk about DOOM.

Gone north for a few days and second charity shop turned up a nice little cache of music pin badges. Fairly certain the Black Sabbath one used to have a plastic jewel over it like the Hawkwind one to its left, but it’s still in very good nick. -Ash

I was never someone who hated on No Mans Sky when it first came out. Actually quite enjoyed it. The game it’s evolved into today is quite astounding. I can see why people still don’t like it, but for me I think my blood pressure actively lowers when I play it. Top stuff. -Ash

Joycard Sansui SSS controller (NES, 1989) created a stereo effect from the console's mono audio by momentarily amplifying the left or right channel through an inbuilt headphone port when the corresponding direction was pressed.

Was very happy to not only be present for this very enjoyable live actual play, I did a Multicam shoot and live edit on the fly. All things considered very happy with how it came out. Big love to not only all the players but the Omnibus Theatre too, who were lovely and accommodating. -Ash

So if you see a post from us, be it in the 'sky', 'on the wing', or at the end of a 'piece of string' and it has the letters xpd at the end, it means it's been crossposted between 3 platforms. Trying this to reduce mental workload for some socials bits whilst also hopefully engaging more. -Ash
