If ever there were a site deserving of my favorite approbatory “Radical Ninja,” it were insertcredit.com. Today, Brandon broke a Brazilian story about a new stand-alone console for that country. Long live the Mega-Drive 3! Even if it’s just being pressed onto a board with no cartridge slot. Course, it’s not Sega really doing the [...]
Hit my favorite flea market this past Sunday at Laney college in Oakland. While I didn’t score anything amazing, I did get a legal box full of carts for $30. The guy wanted $50, but I walked away, and by the time I was 2 booths down, he was shouting “$30!” All of the above [...]

This company, Tilestack, is bringing Hypercard to the Web. In theory, it should work like: Upload stack, view stack. Simple, right? This got me thinking. For years, we’ve been chasing emulation as a means to bringing old software back to life. Unfortunately, building a new emulator for every system, and for every OS to run [...]

We published my chat with Sony Online. The print version’s out now, but the online version went up last month, I now find. Had no idea!

I’m always peaking at speed runs on YouTube. Archive.org has a section dedicated to them as well, but it lends itself to lengthy 100%-style runs. Who has the attention to watch a 5 hour run? Great for ambiance, though. Anyhoo, I thought I post up a few well done runs. First, no death Contra run [...]
My heart goes out to all the magnificent people I’ve worked with over at GameTap‘s media efforts. Turner started GameTap a few years back, now, and they’ve, evidently, decided to can all of the ephemeral materials and concentrate strictly on the game services. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be writing any more articles for GameTap, [...]
I’m just back from EA’s Spring Break event, at the Supper Club in SF. The first thing I thought when I got home was to write up a quick synopsis of what the world’s largest game company did wrong at this massive press event. Bringing ya’ll up to speed: E3, the consumer oriented game conference, [...]

Well, that about wraps it up for the ROMs. All has been revealed. I’d like to thank everyone who helped out (Kevtris, Kingpin, and Zylon) in identifying the games, and making them available to the world. I’ll be returning to my normal, silly blog thingie now, and allow the games to speak for themselves. Another [...]
This is Dragon-80. It’s a very playable Colecovision action game. There’s sword swinging and jumping and falling floor tiles. But the loading screen is broken and says nothing. There’s no way I can tell to find out what game this really was supposed to be. Unfortunately, The Sword and the Sorcerer looks to be a [...]
