Does anyone on here have any Australian BBSes archived? I'd appreciate it if what's left of twitter could do it's thing. I'm interested anyway, but it's obviously quite topical rn, so it'd be a great time to get them widely seen... 😉 #bbs #comphist #digitalheritage

To celebrate the 30th birthday of DOOM, here's a thread of everything that I've found that DOOM can run on. Some are real, some... maybe not. It's up to you to figure out which 😉 Let's begin with: DOOM... on an ultrasound scanner.

@DarkMatterzine Yes! We are just in the process of moving our archived #PopularMemoryArchive, but the 1980s content is also in our 1990s PMA at playitagainproject.com The earlier site is also in the Wayback Machine, if you prefer that. Thank you!

How well do you know Bathurst's Mount Panorama circuit? Team Holden or Ford? Record your memories of playing these iconic local racing games (& many others) in our #PopularMemoryArchive playitagainproject.com #KingoftheMountain

Play It Again@AgainPlay

Racing games have gone a long way to tap into Australian car culture. And most of the time that meant letting us drive a Holden - HSV. Read our latest blog post by @CJBats on Australian Racing Games. playitagainproject.com/aussie-racing-…
