I’m now on Blue Sky #BlueSky bsky.app/profile/retrog…

Today's the day. 28 years later... (no, not the zombie apocalypse), I still can't fathom that Zophar's Domain has stood the test of time. Truly unbreakable! While many many other sites are lost to the sands of time, The Domain lives on. Thank you everyone, and emulation forever!

@GameHistoryOrg Despite being free when published, those Silicon Mag issues are relatively hard to come by. Nice score.

Just a selection of VGHF's recently acquired game magazines - picked up for evaluating, archiving, and, if we already have a cleaner copy, de-accessioning for 'blind boxes'. (Magazines: we have a lot.)

Apology accepted, @LimitedRunGames

@v64jr @analogue Looks like the bottom side of another Pocket. Same ports.

@analogue I see Analogue Pocket, books, Game Boy games, that joystick that’s iconic for the C64… but what’s that Famicom or tape recorder lookin’ thing? Teaser for the next Analogue console?

The QJ - SG MegaStar SV-433 is one of the weirder SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive controllers I own. They also made a similar one for the NES, the SV-333. The “C” button is ridiculously clicky on these with a deep plunge depth. It may prove a good fit for one-button arcade games tho🤔

The 1979 Milton Bradley Buck Rogers boardgame has one of the most aesthetically pleasing game boards of the era.

What do you get if you cross Zombies Ate my Neighbours with Doom? ...

Where does the artistry stop and the functionality begin? With these superb sticks from Pixel Memories (@Clive_Frog_2_0) there’s no need to choose. Super solid arcade feels. When I’m finished slinging beers and blastin’ rocks in space, I’ll be displaying them on the shelf as art

.@MondoNews and @AttackPeter have added a bit of a glow-up to my shelf. 😍 #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon #GlowInTheDark

@DigitalEclipse @MikeJMika @Victor_Lucas Hopefully #TetrisForever includes my favorite version of Tetris. The key chain Tetris Jr by SquareSoft! 😜

We don't give studio tours -- but #TheElectricPlayground's recent visit is as close as you're going to get. Plus, @Victor_Lucas got some info on #TetrisForever and #RitasRewind! youtube.com/watch?v=QoquQW…

Como algunos ya sabéis, Ghosts'n Goblins es mi videojuego favorito de todos los tiempos. Así que hoy os traigo un hilo de CURIOSIDADES sobre este fantástico título ⚔️🛡️. Espero que os guste. Dentro Hilo 🧵 ⬇️ ⬇️

Incredible work, guys! Although I’ve played Narc many times in the past, playing this just now it’s finally dawned on me that a good portion of Narc’s DNA harkens back to Jarvis’ earlier masterpiece, Defender. 💡🤔

@Nitmare64 @TakiUdon_ To be clear, this is sarcasm.

It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally scored a nice copy of VIDEO issue #1. Published in late 1977 this magazine would be the first consumer market magazine to robustly highlight home videogames & consoles as a regular feature. And they kicked it all off with a kickass cover too.
