We had a blast being a part of @liretro.bsky.social last weekend! Thanks to all the friendly folk that came by, played our games, chatted, joined our discord, picked up merch, and shared the joy of the arcade with us!

An image of people lined up to play a series of indie arcade games, including Dyebreaker, Nothing Good Can Come of This, HoverBurger, and Nightmare Kart.

An image from above, of the entire Arcade Commons setup, including the four arcade cabinets, and a table with the games Steam and Glory and Ziggurat of the Titan Beetle, as well as a merch booth in the middle with one of our crew chatting attendees.

Above the scene, there is a yellow biplane suspended on cables.

A group of four people are around the Ziggurat of the Titan Beetle control console, with the store screen for the game on the monitor behind them. In the background a person is locked in playing Nightmare Kart.

Now that I've had time to rest up. @liretro.bsky.social was incredible this past weekend. It was my first time at the convention and it was the best convention I've been to in a long while. I'll have a full episode out about the convention with more thoughts in a few weeks. But until then... 1/5

I’m used to seeing games I worked on at retro shows like @liretro.bsky.social — but the labor of love from the first five years of my career is a new one. That’s a stack of about 20 OPM (all issues I worked on), going from $10 to $30 each (depending if disc is included).

One of the coolest moments this year at LI Retro was preservationist Callan Brown of @74xx.bsky.social Arcade Repair bringing his miniaturized version of the fabled Nintendo coin-up, Wild Gunman - a rarely seen or documented media, until his incredible work in recreating the full fledged coin-op.

Another awesome year at @liretro.bsky.social. Highlight was definitely @74xx.bsky.social’s presentation on his restoration of the 70s Wild Gunman cabinet … along with this playable scale model. The game Nintendo (seemingly) doesn’t want you to know about:
