Heroes Inc. I was locked-in on this thing. Pixels (2015) did something similar, right? Never saw it, but I believe it has some similar imagery, though the narrative might be different. The whole world as a computer is very Douglas Adams. TV Gamer (Sep. 1984). @retromagazines.net #retrogaming

It's no coincidence that Kojima's games can be edited into movies, he has a film director's vision. So here's MGS3 by Gamer's Little Playground. 🎬🍿 #metalgearsolid #konami

Kojima chose Aug. 24th, 1964 as the date of the Virtuous Mission because it aligned with his birthday. I initially bemoaned the fact that I kicked off "Kojima Week" posting about Gex, but it turns out that's Dana Gould's birthday too. Amazing coincidence! @danagould.bsky.social #kojima #mgs #gex

"This is absolutely the last Metal Gear Hideo Kojima is working on." ...and he worked on 11 more. I think the author guessed this and was making a joke, but it's hard to tell in print. Official PlayStation Magazine no. 76 #metalgearsolid #konami #kojima

The NES shaped me, but the 3DO meant the most to me as it was the first console I bought with my own money. I mentioned it on here recently, but I was able to afford the costly 3DO after a retail CEO lost a bet to me, a 12 year old kid. Never bet against a kid's ability to manipulate gains. #3DO

Robert the comic book store guy built a niche legend out of Hideo Kojima in our town in the '80s. His comic shop was in the side room of our local video store, across from the game shelves. If you came in to rent Metal Gear, Robert would certainly tell you about Kojima and the superior MSX version.

Gex was a mainstay for me on my 3DO. Story goes, retail CEO made a bet against me at 12 years old that I couldn't make 3 toothpicks into 4 without breaking any. One "shape-of-a-4" later and I bought the console. Game Informer (May 1995). @retromagazines.net @danagould.bsky.social #3do #retrogaming

"Making Doom run on a new platform is only a couple days of work. Making it a really good game on a platform that doesn't have a keyboard and mouse or an excess of processing power is an honest development effort." -John Carmack in 2009, regarding Doom Classic (iOS) web.archive.org/web/20090530...

Screencap of Doom Classic on iOS, from John Carmack's progress report on the port hosted on id Software's website.

Road Rash informed my musical tastes for years. Carrie Akre of Hammerbox told me that the band still considers their inclusion in Road Rash to be a tentpole of their career, and they were obviously very celebratory upon hearing the news from their label. #roadrash #90smusic #retrogaming

My local rental store used blank snap cases before converting to Permastruct™. It was nice to have instructions that wouldn't get lost by irresponsible renters. I appreciate that someone, somewhere, familiarized themselves enough with each game to write tiny little guides for them. #retrogaming #nes
