New Time Extend's up! Listen to Adam suffer through Me, Paul, and Jayson ramble excitedly about primordial arcade racers of the early 1980s, and uh, Problems Clown for some reason!

Go to newsagent with your mum or dad, look over the £2.99 games on cassette whilst they pick a newspaper. Take your pocket money that's saved from 50p a week, buy a game for your Amstrad CPC6128 with cassette player connected via audio cables, get home and load it up whilst eating a Twix bar. Bliss

Can’t recommend the Resident Evil Archives book enough if you like doing lots of research for an upcoming article/want to feel your blood pressure rising at the sight of ALL THE CRANKS

A cropped photo from Resident Evil Archives. This part lists every item in the early games in the series, complete with a small picture and description. The image shows four different cranks.

During the developer Q&A stream for Ridge Racer's Arcade Archives release, a treasure trove of development materials and historical documents were shown off! It's truly wonderful to see all of these items well preserved after all these years. (1) #arcadehistory #coinophistory #namco

This was a great article as always from Adam. This news has been truly heartbreaking for me. Out of my 25 years working in games, being part of Codemasters rally games was a huge part of it, and something I will always be proud of.

Just completed 6 Golden Coins on the Pocket, it’s been years since I played through it as my go to is always SML1 or 3. Still a class game and a big jump over the first game.

Random game Saturday! Another portable game for me. Always loved this on Amstrad CPC, but the Lynx version was fantastic too and maybe the best home version along with Amiga and MD.

-1° outside, so let’s warm up with California Games and some coffee! Always loved the impossibly thin Lynx carts and their little grab handles - so.. handy!

Thanks again for the awesome US delivery! @aismail.bsky.social I love ex-rental carts, and always wonder about their journey. How many people have played it? How many N64s has it been inserted into? How long was it in service for? Fascinating stuff!

The artwork of #Gradius Gaiden by Yoshihiro Hashizume used on the cover of the Japanese #PlayStation release. Just a small upscale with a slight retouch since the original source was already pretty good. A big thanks to @ovga.bsky.social and the owner for sharing this piece!
