Patricia Laffan in the British science fiction film Devil Girl from Mars (1954)

I would die for this little duck and his pushcar

Hey: turn off the news and watch this. Feel wonder archive.org/details/rick...

I guess I forgot to announce I released Emobble.

Here is something super cool for all #dreamcast and #minecraft fans out there. I've gotten permission from the project's creator, "meesedev" on Twitter to share some WIP footage of his #homebrew port of Minecraft for the DC. The madlad already did a port for Wii & Ganecube too. #indiedev #retro

want to get started making a #GameBoy emulator but not sure where to start? here's a video to help youtu.be/SCHlyX2sFN8 It's not a step-by-step guide, really I try to give as little guidance as I think is reasonable! beginner friendly too I hope

Slept badly last night because Too Hot, so I put on the most boring video ever made to help me doze off. Unfortunately(?) it was actually kinda great youtu.be/Jk71bPz5VLo?...

What do you think they do at the beach? 🤔 🏰 Sand castles 🌊 Swim 😨 Scare or impress small children with cool sword 💤 Nap

FYI: Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal clash in the anxiety-inducing full trailer for EDDINGTON, Ari Aster’s pandemic Western hitting theaters on July 18 via A24.

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

this is so cool. a previously unnanonced game by Metal Slug team that was completed 20 years ago, but was never released to the public, is releasing on Switch. www.videogameschroni...

Having a coding free evening. I've spend quite a lot of time recent assembling, patching, splicing and generally hacking binary data into NES ROM format so I can try and recover lost game builds. I do enjoy working with 6502 code. I've also been learning the Mesen debugger so I can track down issues

IGN has fifteen minutes of Super Meat Boy 3D! Feel free to hold a controller and pretend that you’re playing it. www.ign.com/videos/super...

BLASTER MASTER SUNSOFT/TOKAI 1988 NES

You’ve all heard of metal type but what about gourd type (yes this was printed with movable type that was made out of the dried inside matter of a gourd)

In the 1990's and 2000's, I used a CoStar LabelWriter II Plus to print shipping labels for my shareware games. CoStar's driver didn't support the II Plus on 32-bit machines, so I wrote this. It emulates a LabelWriter XL and converts the datastream to LabelWriter II Plus format. Now on GitHub. 😃

I don't know what's going on here but I'm all for it.

🎉 Big update! The #InternetArchive has launched a new version of GifCities, our search engine for vintage GeoCities GIFs. Search better. Blink more! Check it out ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/06/09/k... 🧵

Feels like a good day to post this. It would've almost certainly been terrible, given the state of Hanna-Barbera in 1977.

RIP: Bill Atkinson, co-creator of Apple Lisa and Mac

Yep. It's true. I've had the other pine version (meant for on-screen) of Rosebud from Citizen Kane since the early 80s. I snuck it in four of my movies. It's clearly in the Klopek's basement in The Burbs. 🤭

Playing Wave Race 64 on the Switch 2 and that bit in Drake Lake where the fog suddenly clears on the second lap and reveals the perfect mirror surface of the water... that's Video Games.

A good time to watch the recent documentary Sly Lives! if you didn't catch it when it came out

Don't know anyone personally but reposting for visibility. Please do the same if you can, this could potentially destroy a career!

What an amazing title!

Digitizing a copy of Ultima IV at The Strong Museum today, it includes some hand drawn maps! Always cool to see! @richardgarriott.bsky.social

Impossible to understate how important HyperCard was to the classic Mac era, even if Apple themselves (and esp. Steve) never seemed to understand that. It put software creation in the hands of an entire generation that might never have considered it, and was just damn fun to play with to boot.

Ah, bummer. Bill Atkinson has passed. Kind of an unsung figure in the early GUI-based computers and, before that, image processing.

This is awesome! The story of how Boulder Dash was created spillhistorie.no/2025/06/06/h...

Morning all - does anyone by any chance have this CD version of EPIC by Ocean Software for #PC? Can't find a preserved copy at the moment, and wanting to check the CD audio. www.mobygames.com/game/2080/ep...

Jaime Hernandez’s splendid cover to 1985’s Amazing Heroes Preview Issue.

This was one of my favourite games from IMPACT! Indies. Wondeful logic-y puzzle-y goodness. And Allison and Daniel are super nice and talented too, so get this on your list.

Anyone got a favorite cyrrilic/russian pixel TTF? Specially one between 7 and 10 pixels tall?
