It's the 1990s all over again, you're a 10yo #ADHD child and Santa finally brought you a NES Control deck for Christmas, and you're here scratching your head watching at the stock photo on the box and noticing some things are obviously very wrong in it. 😁

Blockout was one of the first games I played on the PC, a 286 back then. California Dreams didn’t make many games, and this one stood out due to its high res EGA graphics. #msdos #retrogaming
The Commodores were a 70s funk / soul group with hits such as "Easy like PET BASIC", "Once, Twice, Three times I've had to do the tape drive head alignment", and "Keep on loading".
So this is it: I am starting a new adventure on Mastodon with Kilobyte Magazine. This is a free PDF-Zine about computers and consoles from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, fokussing on #8bit machines. Newer projects around these computers and consoles are also very welcome. For starters, I will probably post some older articles on here. You can find back issues as PDF easily for free online (like e.g. on archive.org). See you arond here! #introduction #retrogaming
I present to you: The GB Interceptor. It is an adapter that goes between an unmodified Game Boy and the cartridge and offers a video stream of the game via USB. Click the image to see the video on youtube.com.
a sad story with happy ending: back in 1995, in the netscape days, there was this little site called Betrayal at Krondor Help Web. some icelandic guy did the thankless job of mapping every treasure chest, enemy, dirt pile, maze, and moredhel chest puzzle solution. i visited and used it for decades.
Professor Eysteinn Björnsson updated that #retrogaming site for 25 years, until he unexpectedly died in 2021. i am honoured to now host it in his memory in perpetuity at dimwood.net
