The Amazon Holiday Kids Gift Book is out, with the various console ads. #Nintendo up 1st with Switch2 & a ton of games. #Playstation is next with one game shown and then mostly hardware. #Meta next with a big ad…and then, #Xbox with half the space, and much less shown. The state of the industry!

New pickup from @brokestudio.bsky.social, Soldam! This was a #Famicom puzzle game from Jaleco that was never released on the #NES. Looking forward to both the single player mode and trying the 2 player mode with my wife. #Retrogamer

A programming bug in the arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man can occur depending on when a coin is inserted into the cabinet.

Starting the game at the right moment gives the first maze a blue color inside the red outlines.

Atari’s Centipede. Very unique controls, and so much fun and replayability.

That Gamepass price hike is a bit much. If I had all the time in the world to play, I’d still buy…but I don’t. And at that price, it’s too much money wasted. My backlog is huge anyways, time to dig into that. #Xbox #Gamepass

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Wild Glide Galaxy is "larger than the universe", going outside the boundaries of its own skybox. The game simply drags the skybox alongside Mario's position to keep the area immediately around him within the boundaries.

My backlog is so big, it is in essence a mini Gamepass, so much so that I may cancel GP soon as I don’t need it anymore. And I think GP is a superb value…but…too many games still unplayed.

Pac-Jr. is a game available exclusively within the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive version of Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.

This is not a port of Jr. Pac-Man, rather it is an official modification of Ms. Pac-Man with altered stage layouts, as well as new sprites and intermissions.

I had to pay a similar sum for a surgery to one of my cats, when he was less than 1 year old. He would’ve died without it…it’s now 12 years later and he’s still around. I applaud the fact that you paid for the procedure. And I’m glad to hear the kitty is still with you. Hang in there!

In honor of Myst's birthday, here's some footage we helped Cyan recover...

This is part of an unused easter egg from Myst that would've appeared in the Mazerunner puzzle, featuring the original dev team!
