June 2025's #MapsOfTheMonth honour @ VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas goes to Vertigo's #JurassicPark: Rampage Edition (#Genesis) maps. Returning to Jurassic Park seems to happen a lot. Do you like to play as Dr. Alan Grant or as a raptor? www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesi...

What happens if you stick a Beyond Shadowgate replica NES cartridge into an NES?

After the credits of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, the game suggests turning off your computer and doing something constructive. Like play a little racquetball. Or wash your car. Or cook dinner. Or join a funk band. Or travel to a foreign country. How many of these things have you done?

In my quest to catch up on the Mario RPGs, I finally got around to playing Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam last year, despite knowing of it since 2015, but didn't realize until TODAY that "paper jam" is a pun. Wow, I'm slow. Are there other video game title puns that I might've missed?

As I am working on another unboxing/review, I figured I'd rewatch my earlier video on the Monkey Island Anthology. This is one of my best videos ever. I also enjoyed making it. Hoping I can remind myself of how I managed that. Do you like Monkey Island? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi82...

Here's ScummVM on my iPad Mini, to play classic point-and-click adventure games. Do you like this way of playing them, or do you think they need to be played on a computer? Is it worth learning touch controls (for portability's sake) or continue using a mouse?

Just learned from @thewellredmage.bsky.social that it is Dragon Quest's 39th birthday! How many of you Dragon Quest fans have been to Dragon Quest Island on Awaji Island, near Osaka, Japan? My brother and I went there two years ago, see that here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=an8A... #JonNJasonInJapan

I FINALLY updated my Nintendo Console History infographic with recent Switch sales figures (up to Mar. 31, 2025) and the Switch 2 release date (only 10 days away). How many of these Nintendo console lifespans have you lived through? vgmaps.com/temp/Nintend...

There are 18 NTSC NES baseball games, 20 if you count the unlicensed Tengen R.B.I. Baseball sequels. We now have maps for all of them on VGMaps.com! Thanks to Rick Bruns for the Bad News Baseball map, and especially thanks to @darklordzagato.bsky.social for ALL the rest! vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/in...

A one, and a two, and a one, and a two... In response to @beatemupswood.bsky.social's X post on May 24: "Call me crazy but this packaging is far too similar and a bit confusing for the general public 🤷" Not agreeing or disagreeing, but it wouldn't be the first time...

"SHOW ME YA MOVES!" The best part about the manuals for Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 are the pages that show Mario's moves.

The "Ultimate Game Guide" app is indeed pretty cool and handy. I have a look at it on my YouTube channel... though a couple years old, as at the time it only featured NES games. Now it has Super NES games, too! And with continuous updates! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWJd...

Before World Turtle Day is over, I made this 12-hour video of Hookbill the Koopa coughing. Because... why not? Like, share and subscribe! I'll have "real" videos again soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=88xg...

Two years ago today, my brother and I did a Harajuku food tour, guided by "Japan byFood" host/Miss World Japan 2020 finalist/fellow Edmontonian, Shizuka Anderson! Have you watched the longest/best/last/most-viewed episode of #JonNJasonInJapan? www.youtube.com/watch?v=777d...

Why not close out Pac-Man's 45th birthday with a look at Steelehouse Digital's "Pac-Man: The Movie [The Fan Film]"? I really like this, for some reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvAA...

Wow! I now have 677 followers on Bluesky! That's also the number of official North American games for the Nintendo Entertainment System! Check out my video showing boxes, title shots, and a minute of music from EVERY one of these NES games (and the PAL ones, too)!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoLT...

It's Pac-Man's 45th anniversary! I felt like making this diagram to show the various forms that Pac-Man can take just on the NES alone! It's just one game with two sets of title credits, three labels, and four boxes. 🤔
