Super thanks to Mike at @retrosoftstudios.bsky.social for letting me deck out his Sony PVM! Of course Steve @retrotechusa.bsky.social restored it 100% & I took care of the shell. Painted up a great retro Neo Geo look. It's good for the next 25 years. Showcased at #RetroWorldExpo & it was def a hit!

Seeing double and GameCube-ey: speculative renders in April 2004's Electronic Gaming monthly of what the Nintendo DS might look like.
A snap of the issue feature with two renders o a GBA SP-alike design with a flip up screen on a thick hinge and a bottom screen. There's also GC controller alike face buttons and a tiny little analogue stick that looks like it would be horrible to use.

A special extra port that I did over the last week or so. Ice Hockey! In honor of the double gold medal winning USA Men's and Women's hockey teams at the Olympics! No big features here other than a bit of rumble support if you've got the LRG controller. Available Here: mega.nz/folder/4phX1...
Box art for a Super Nintendo game called Ice Hockey, depicting 3 players, a large player on the left, a medium sized one in the middle, and a taller skinnier one on the right, all dressed in white and blue uniforms.  The game is rated Kicks-Ass, has the Super NES Rumble Pad support icon, and the Rumbleminze logo of a beagle on the box.

Happy Mario Day! Safe to say Mario has been in my gaming faves since the launch of the NES. Every new game is almost or is a day one purchase. To this day they remain some of my face titles to just fire up and play from the OG Super Mario Bros all the way up to the newest Wonder. #MAR10Day

The artwork of Minami Taiheiyou Adventure used on the cover of the #NEC #PC88 release as well as for advertising. Still a bit cropped on all sides. Removed logos/text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

On top a giant octopus can be seen with his tentacles swaying around, one of them being bitten by a giant dark lizard like creature. Some lightning bolts can be seen further back up top.

On the background, a city landscape can be seen with high rise buildings and the sun shining behind. Below there are 3 Hind Ds on the left, flying over an exploding battleship on the sea and three tanks with explosions all around on the right side.
