Oh boy! Link: The Faces of Evil & Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon were both released on this day, 33 years ago, on the Phillips CD-i. (October 10, 1993) We will never stop talking about these games. 😁

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

I remain pretty bummed out by the state of decompilations, ports, FPGA cores etc these days. The rise of GenAI has really flooded the whole scene with garbage and kinda poisoned the whole concept. Good piece from @pandamonium.bsky.social on it www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c...

"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

🎂🎂🎂Happy 27th Birthday, Dreamcast!🎂🎂🎂 I'll never forget the depth of your game library and how wonderfully diverse and creative your peripherals were

An illustration of Sonic holding the Dreamcast Twin Sticks next to Ulala from Space Channel 5 Part 2 holding a Dreamcast controller with a Seaman microphone, with Beat from Jet Grind Radio behind them holding a fishing controller. They are all intertwined by the cords of their peripherals, while behind them is a giant Dreamcast glowing gently over them. In the background are floating Chao, Light Chao, and Dark Chao, Amigo from Samba de Amigo, and a Chu Chu and Kapu Kapu. Also Seaman looking upset at Ulala, maybe Ulala said some crass words that he didn't enjoy

in honor of the IBM PC's 45th anniversary today, here is the original prototype motherboard! which side is your favorite?

a large prototyping circuit board with a grid of holes. it is covered with chips and red bypass capacitors soldered diagonally across many of the chips. you can tell it is a PC because of the 5 ISA slots and the keyboard connector.

the bottom of the board reveals a ratnest of yellow wires along with a few thicker blue and black wires, presumably for power and ground.

I have a real issue with the misrepresentation I see regarding performance characteristics of older hardware. Everyone seems to have put on rose tinted glasses when discussing this topic and regularly misreprsent how things actually were. This is why showcasing vintage hardware is so important!

Magic and mecha… crossbows and cybernetics… and fast 'n' furious light gun action in a fantastical land of wobbly polygons both 3D and flat. No ammo to manage; instead three magical weapons: slow and heavy, cross-shaped shatter, and rapid fire. 📺: Elemental Gearbolt, Alfa Systems, 1997 (PS1)

This is why i think people should be regularly playing retro games, like sitting down and finishing them. It really puts things in perspective when a game can satisfy you in a few hours vs. a few dozen.
