🎮🚀 "PS2 games in your browser! Because who wouldn't want to relive the joy of early 2000s pixelated graphics and janky controls, now with the added bonus of #WebAssembly lag? 🙃 Meanwhile, on GitHub, developers pretend this is the future of gaming instead of a nostalgia-driven procrastination tool. 😂"

We'd also like some movement on this goal. When we get 300 followers on Twitch, we'll stream Pit Fighter on the Sega Genesis for you. This is a bad retro game that's quite infamous. Help us reach our goal!

Mein aktuelles Scanprojekt: Das 1993er Handbuch für die Windows Spiele "Bubble & Quaak". Im Original veröffentlicht von Data Becker. Das Ding hat insgesamt 88 PDF-Seiten und wird schon in den nächsten Tagen fertiggestellt und dann natürlich hochgeladen werden. Diese Windows 3.x Spiele sind im Netz einfach immernoch viel zu lückenhaft archiviert! 😎

I've been chipping away at the #Agon #Agonlight version of my 8-bit #infocom Interpreter. It's almost ready, with *some* support for graphics and sound, as well as mouse input. Needs proper testing on real hardware just to make sure everything is stable.

Plutonia [MAP15] The Twilight
Okay, Fediverse!
I recently got back into PSP games after succumbing to the itch to play Black Tiger on the train, but I finished that and need a new drug:
1. Finally crack open Super Robot Wars Z,
2. Try to get further than the first stage of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth,
3. Ghiren's Greed: Threat of Axis V (for the 10th time)
4. Something else (please suggest)
buried in the boxes of Nibble, MacWorld, MacAddict and MacUser mags were these gems.
i'm beyond excited to finally read a Sierra InterAction mag after decades of wishing i had been able to subscribe as a kid 🙏

Starforce - A fantastic 1980s Arcade shooter is coming to the Amiga AGA via Acidbottle

Made some refinements to my retro console cart.
1. Installed the Retro Scaler 2x for RCA to HDMI. It has a much clearer image and doesn't mess up the aspect ratio. Got it for $50 on eBay.
2. Power strip now hangs from the back, freeing up shelf space. I'll probably need to get a bigger power strip soon though.
3. Got S hooks to hang mesh bags on the side to house controllers and etc, freeing up more shelf space. (I had originally intended to use some spare Grid-Its but found them not great for large controllers. )
Now I have space for more consoles! 🤩
(The Xbox that goes on the bottom is still in the shop being recapped.)
