Bugs and Drugs (1978) released on the PLATO mainframe by Mark Gorback, Dave Tanaka, and Paul Alfille is an early edutainment RPG. Targeted mainly towards medical students, players explore a hospital "dungeon" fighting diseases with fists or with medicine! (a deadly residency thread)

Someone also posted this to our forums as well! Here's our article on what was known before this prototype was released! Most of it appears to be in the ROM. tcrf.net/Prerelease:B... bsky.app/profile/fact...
https://archive.org/details/project-dream-snes_202609

Today, I’m releasing the SNES proof-of-concept alpha of Project Dream, the proto-type that would go on to become Banjo-Kazooie.

I’ve held on to this for years, it was fun to have something that only a handful of people had, and as I am several people removed from how it got out of Rare to begin with, I didn’t want to risk that it could somehow get someone else in trouble, (so how I got it is a story I don’t plan to share.) I will just say that I got it from someone who got it from someone, who got it from somewhere.

But with the current state of the industry and Microsoft's current heartless gutting and mismanagement of Rare and other companies it controls, plus with how long it's been, I feel it's more important to make sure this is properly preserved, and the ROM dissected by people with far more knowledge on how to do such things.

I hope by releasing this, that it also inspires other people to release what they have as well. I know the Twelve Tales Conker 64 prototype is out there somewhere, but sadly, this is the only thing that I have.

There is little joy left in the industry, as it relentlessly marches towards AI, layoffs, l anti-preservation and ownership tactics, and, in Microsoft’s case, the support and approval of literal genocide in Gaza.

Let’s get the last beautiful things hiding on our hard drives out there for everyone. That's all we have left.

Please delete Microsoft and Sony from your lives, install Linux, boycott Switch Game Key Cards and buy Nintendo Switch 2 titles that still come with the full game on the cartridge. Your dollar is the only thing that counts in our late stage capitalist hellscape. 

The attached zip contains a .bin file of the raw dump, and then the same file renamed to a .sfc to work in emulators, as well as this text file.
[...some text omitted for limit reasons...]
Be blessed, and love each other.

Signed,

FvckAsha&Phil "DREAM: LAND OF GIANTS" title screen

Adventure for the Atari 2600 is funny because on the first difficulty it's like oh yeah quaint little precursor to The Legend of Zelda, and on subsequent difficulties it's a completely batshit (pun intended) insane fever dream.

Completely redid the cinematic camera for screenshots. Decided to try just freezing Cam's model in place and pausing animation instead of using existing Quake code that duplicates the player model and all the sequencing and blending. Turns out it works much better! #gamedev #indiedev

Before semiconductor RAM, most computers used magnetic core memory. This is the 32 KB core stack from the computer on Spacelab, the Space Shuttle's experimental laboratory. Let's take a closer look...
The core stack from the Spacelab computer. This is a stack of six rectangular circuit boards, joined by blue connectors on each end. The cores are visible on the top board. The 294,912 cores are way too small to see; there are eight large reddish-brown squares, each holding a region of cores. 18 reddish and greenish stripes are slightly visible, showing regions for the 18 bits of storage.

The earliest preview of Fallout (1997) that I've found yet, from before it even had that name. The GURPS licence that it initially had is first and foremost, with comparisons being drawn more to Wasteland's vibe and how it has more of a 'cyberpunk' flavour. 📖: Next Generation, June 1996
A snippet of an article in the magazine with G.U.R.P.S as the title and a few early screenshots. It's described as being more cyberpunk than anything else at this point.

Sting’s 1998 Japanese Saturn release, Baroque, is a 3D, first-person perspective roguelike action game. Luckily, in 2023, Plissken was divinely inspired to bless our tormented souls with an English translation for this most unique of titles. #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #BestOfSaturn
A screenshot from the Sega Saturn version of Baroque in which a character says, "If you go over there, you'll be attacked by fish. If you go the other way, you'll find Lord Archangel."A screenshot from the Sega Saturn version of Baroque in which a fish monster is flashing during a fight with a couple other fish monsters behind it.

"If you don't use AI you'll get left behind" Brother I've sent emails from a Super Nintendo, I fucking love getting left behind
Photo of a CRT monitor next to a Super Famicom console with an XBAND modem inserted. The monitor's screen shows the XBAND's email composing screen. The message being composed has the subject line "I'm writing from a snes :00" and is addressed at a user named "フフフ".Screenshot of the email composing screen from the previous photo.Screenshot of the bsnes-plus Super Nintendo emulator open on Ubuntu. The game loaded is identified as "X-Band Modem BIOS (J)" and the emulator window shows the XBAND email inbox screen. There are two emails: one from user "mrmxy" with the subject line "i'm writing from a snes :0" and one from "System" with the subject line "Welcome!!" Behind the emulator window is a terminal window showing the emulator's log (indicating emulated modem activity) and a file explorer window with some Super Nintendo ROMs and save files.The bsnes-plus emulator's window now shows the content of the email, which reads (beside a profile image of an ape with sunglasses):
