i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding

It will be very interesting to know about the journey of this creative industry from the very beginning, i.e., before the advancement of modern technologies, to the recent times. Let’s delve into this long journey chronologically: https://redappletechnologies.medium.com/from-atari-to-augmented-reality-a-video-game-development-journey-1950-2023-284df822c572

Sometimes I can't help but feel that my experience with old-school point and click adventure games is an impediment to fully appreciating the genre in its modern form. If I'm playing a retro pixel-art adventure game published in the year 2023, and I encounter a restroom with a mirror you can look in and a sink where you can wash your hands and (discreetly off-screen) working stalls complete with an artfully bit-crushed toilet-flush sound effect, but no obvious gameplay challenges present, the part of me that lives in 2023 understands that this is almost certainly just a set-piece with lots of interactive widgets that the developer put together for love of the craft – but the part of me that was playing Sierra On-Line games in 1988 knows with cold certainty that if I don't make very sure that I use that stall before I proceed, ninety minutes and three irrevocable hard-saves later later my character will somehow contrive to piss themselves to death.

✨✨ Congratulations to Sega of America and our INDUSTRY LEADING union contract ✨✨

With a gratifyingly massive vote in favour we ratified our contract guaranteeing worker protections, increased wages, credit for all games worked on and more!

We are the largest and only multi-department video game union, and hope this joyous news will encourage others to organize and fight for their own employee rights in our beloved, but layoff-plagued industry.

I'M SO PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF AEGIS 💙💙

Solid Snake, in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the first ever game character to utter the word 'bisexual'.

I've always wanted a plush of the cat from Ghost Trick! so when the Switch port was announced, I decided to go ahead and make one for myself! ...and then didn't think to post it until now, for some reason! I modified BeeZee Art's sitting kitty pattern to get the right shapes; he was made with many mistakes, but also much love. 🐈‍⬛

(everybody go play Ghost Trick, it is my favorite video game of all time! if you like unique puzzles and a really fun mystery, then you will probably also enjoy it! and as you can see, it has a cat!)

(it was very hard to get a picture with Niko that didn't look like this:)

can we take a moment and ask what happened here? like what did they do to her??

oh.

Poly-Play (In-browser, Arcade, VEB Polytechnik, 1985/1989)

Soviet East German arcade multi-game cabinets - each of these versions has some games the other doesn't. You can play them in your browser here.

Controls: arrows, Ctrl & 5 (1's unneeded here).

Tip: you can make the screen less wide by pressing Tab, then using arrows and Enter to select Video Options and then Screen #0, and turning Maintain Aspect Ratio on, then leaving the menu with Tab.

Happy 30th Anniversary to the original Mortal Kombat that hit arcades on October 8, 1992. FINISH HIM!!!!

Man, I was 20 when that game came out and plunked many a quarter into those cabinets.

can you draw klavier gavin ?!

yeah sure :-)

Also, as a side note: if any of you ace attorney fans out there want to listen to a courtroom/law themed love song, theres one from the 1920’s called ‘my fate is in your hands’ !!! (link)

(the best cover imo is by josephine baker. Also if any of you don’t know who that is, you should read the wikipedia page for josephine baker because she was like the coolest woman of all time)

With lyrics like ‘wanting you is my offense, you have all the evidence, now i wait for you to sentence me.’ And ‘there’s no use pretending, love needs no defending, what is the verdict? My fate is in your hands.’ i feel like this is a song every ace attorney fan should listen to.

(Also my real motive here is that i just want everyone to listen to more 20s music. i love 20s music)

Support game history and watch me possibly break my wrist playing with an experimental controller

ROMchip, the first ever video game history journal, is going independent! They're doing their first-ever fundraiser stream on Saturday, featuring gaming notables like Bennett Foddy, Rami Ismail, Nina Freeman, and John and Brenda Romero!

And also, I'll be there! Last month, we were donated a Novint Falcon, an experimental 3D haptic controller released in 2008. This thing is absolutely hogwild. It can exert several POUNDS of force feedback. And I'm gonna put it through its paces.

As an incentive, if ROMchip raises all $6000 they need to keep running, I will go into the Falcon settings and turn force feedback up to maximum. Will I get hurt? WE'LL SEE.

The fun begins Saturday May 11 at 11am Eastern and goes late into the evening!

The reason it's so difficult to get a handle on the history and development of interactive fiction is that we're never going to be working with a complete picture until we're prepared to acknowledge the vital role in that history of all the weird porn.
