Here's the first footage of the cancelled SNES/SFC port of Railroad Tycoon to ever be posted online, captured from my promotional tape made by the would-be Japanese publisher. For a long time, the only evidence of the game's existence was two blurry Nintendo Power screenshots!

"Feel the wind in your hair..." Okay, there's a big anniversary today: the 40th since the release of Sega's sublime arcade racer OUTRUN! Sometime between today and the 25th in 1986, arcade goers were being taken on a Sega multi-route race for the first time. Share the OutRun love, peeps <3

From Sega Retro, a scan of an arcade flier with OutRun screenshot blown up and a photo of the arcade cable below it.

Yeah, that’s why I specified Premier League. They genuinely don’t know what they’re doing.

Ravi Hiranand @ravi64.com · 19/09/2026

You see objectively wrong decisions being given because they do not meet the extremely murky bar of “it wasn’t a clear or obvious enough mistake to overturn.” And yet they’ve just overturned a perfectly good Forest goal for the most minor of touches. It’s mad. What are they doing?

Look, I remember football before VAR. it was bad! Premier League VAR is so bad. SO bad. It is the goddamned worst.

One more in the list of things that would turn the Famicom into more than just a games console: The Study Box. This was an educational program accessory that used tapes rather than cartridges or disks, and was rented out rather than sold. 📖: BEEP, April 1986

A snip from an upload of the issue from Sega Retro. The page has a photo of a big CRT TV with a Famicom atop the boxy Study Box, a hardwired controller, and two audio cassettes next to it

People are talking shit but this is a good loadout for most races. Light weight, decent speed, and good maneuverability.

I need to find a good solution for this with retro devices so I can move between playing on Thor handheld and playing on Steam Machine. Haven’t figured out Syncthing. I tried NeoStation but the save syncing broke and deleted my newer save 😭

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Honestly I am pretty understanding as far as F1 fans go. I get shit tracks in big markets. I get shit tracks in nice places. I get that the sport needs money and exposure. But there’s absolutely zero redeeming features here. Even Miami’s cheesy fake marina was them TRYING. Madring has nothing.

Ravi Hiranand @ravi64.com · 13/09/2026

Madring is genuinely one of the worst F1 circuits ever. The most fun thing about the Madrid GP is Lando saying he can drink whatever he wants in the cooldown room.

I know it's still early etc etc but it's all just a bit depressing, isn't it? Playing at half-speed, positioning all over the place, constantly getting carved apart. It's a hard, hard watch.

I don’t have numbers handy, but I’d heard anecdotally that DS1 did well and DS2 did not. Which explains this, but still…

Ravi Hiranand @ravi64.com · 10/09/2026

I get that DS2 was probably not successful, but surely driving away Kojima isn’t smart in the longer term? First thing that comes to mind is WB pissing off Christopher Nolan and sending him to Universal…
