Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I never imagined I’d ever get to see the original Urinals/100 Flowers play, but here we are in 2026 with all norms and timelines broken beyond recognition, so why not? 000
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I’ve been looking for this at $1 Bookoff for the last several years and it finally appeared last weekend. The first HTML book I ever bought. It’s a slightly later edition but still tracks. It’s hard for me imagine where my life would have gone if I’d not found this exactly when I did. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Mail call. My brother raved about this book and I’m excited to have the first indie 7” of weirdness from Dix and John Denney from The Weirdos circa 1978 120
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I guess this is one of the first magazine articles about video games? Anything earlier? 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This book from 1982 is fascinating. It’s more right than wrong when speculating about the future use of computers. Very entertaining! 131
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026From 1983. This book shows some promise in the first chapter, but then turns into devils dictionary style diatribe within an alphabetical set of seemingly random topics. 110
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Sure Atari is making new ones, but I still like my tiny but well loved classic Activision collection 140
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 12/08/2026An equally impressive painting of Olive trees sits right next to Starry Night yet only 1 person was looking at it., 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 25/07/2026What’s it gonna be like when games go all digital? I think we know the answer 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Latest arrival. Side A is fantastic. Bass player is Danielle Faye who was in an early version of the Runaways for a hot minute 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Found this piece of vintage computing ephemera at the TRW Electronic Swap Meet this morning. It’s about 100 pages of hand crafted , ink jet printed computer history from the mid 1990s.it feens like folk art to me 30 years down the line. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Galaga personal best busted by 10k points, and I didn’t even start well. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Pick ups from the new Long Beach location of Retro Games Plus 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 31/05/2026My sister kept a detailed calendar in 1977 to keep tracks of all the bands she saw. This was June 21st at the Whisky in Hollywood . She * starred the bands she liked, and wrote “(fart)” next to the ones she didn’t. God I miss my sister. 130
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I found this buried deep in my sisters personal affects: the flyer she drew for the ever live show by LA punk/power pop band The Last in January 1978 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 12/03/2026First thing I see at SXSW is this retro tech themed speakeasy that requires a password to enter. I think Ive found my people 070
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 23/02/2026For our next podcast we visited VCF So. Cal. 2026. I wanted to create "Pop Art Atari ST" for the thumbnail. I was just curious as to how AI might deliver this. As expected, it "looks very AI". (left) My hand-done version doesn't look AI (right) (to me). I'm going with mine. No. A.I. 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 08/02/2026My favorite single image from @obsidianent.bsky.social 's Outer Worlds 2: This folding chair set-up on cliff overlook so a (not present or now dead) NPC could look at the ocean view. 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Re-Playing Stonekeep programmed (in part) by the late Peter Oliphant. It plays much better in 2025 than it did 2005. Dare I say, it's fun? When I met Oliphant in 2001, he felt ostracized from the game industry after it did not live-up to expectations, but I think it needs a critical revisit now. 110
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Another set of local pick-ups. I've never seen a "Fathom" before. 010

Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 21/11/20251971 ad for pinball machine, at...the AKRON! I only remember the wicker at the Akron. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 21/11/2025The state of "arcades" around the USA in 1971. A sampling of local advertisements for establishments that offered coin games to play. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 21/11/2025History of Pinball from May 29, 1943 issue of Billboard. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Back on Twitter before the demise, I used to have great fun posting all these old Atari advertisements I dug-up from newspapers while I was laid-out with (possibly) long-covid. Here are bunch of cutting from 1930 when Miniature Golf was the hottest thing in USA, and especially in Los Angeles. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Chris Crawford sent me this hat in the mail and it be the best day of my retro computing life. 060
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I'm not sure how the world of Titan Quest 2 was constructed, but it feels like it's been hand-crafted with the utmost attention to detail. 000
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 18/07/2025New 7800 games from #atari. What an age we live in. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 23/06/2025One of our subscribers did not like the fact that we didn't shy away from the fact that this story took place during the recent and ongoing occupation of Los Angeles. Sorry not sorry. youtu.be/BcZY75f_oEg 041
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 22/06/2025youtu.be/BcZY75f_oEg As L.A. "burned" we visited the So. Cal Retro Gaming Expo a couple weeks back. 020
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 21/05/2025To me there may be nothing more pleasingly nostalgic than the feel of new inbox, imported Atari ST games. I planned to “crack the seal” on these, but I’m having a hard time giving them up like that so fast. @davevelociraptor.bsky.social @8bitrocket.bsky.social @moorejh.bsky.social 031
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 04/05/2025In 2008, when quite literally, NO ONE CARED we published a multi-part series called "Project Save Atari" with ideas and predictions for Atari's future. In 2024 we sat down to revisit it, and see how we did. These are the lost tapes from 2024 and 2008. intotheverticalblank.com/2025/05/04/h... 030
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 28/03/2025This was my first creative non-fiction story from 2022 which won The Easy Reader Writing contest. I made video essay out if it, with remastered audio for my new "story only" channel geared towards adults who have adult children named "The Empty Back Seat" emptybackseat.com/2022/08/11/e... 000
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 13/03/2025I’ve been playing the sane game of Candy Crush Saga for the past 13 years. Not a flex. A sad state of affairs . 110
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I've spent all morning going back and forth on where to put the possessive apostrophe for "Adventure's". I think this is right now. youtu.be/87tSsCi37-Y 110
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Had a great time today at VCF So. Cal with @8bitrocket.bsky.social . Thanks to @thevintnerd.bsky.social ! Thee is still time to get down there tomorrow if you missed it. 060
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 07/02/2025The first minute I fired up my Atari 800 in 1983 I played this Stuart Smith game. It felt like an RPG to me and still feels it was an RPG, but it gets little credit as an early RPG. Now when I look at it, it kinda feels like Zelda too. 010
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I think uncertain times are calling for me get out this weird analog synth I purchased a NAMM a couple years ago and see if I can make heads or tails of it. 000
Steve Fulton @fultonbot.bsky.social · 17/01/2025I have no idea what this book is that I just bought at the antique store, but it may just become my new Cold War Americana obsession 030
