The founders of Activision were guests at Free Play Florida this past weekend. They still make games for the Atari 2600 as Audacity games and used one on my monitors for their game setups.
Sorry had to flex. 💪

I never heard of NESMaker until these dudes submitted a panel for FPF about it. I have picking their brains about it in my down time and how they got their games on actual work NES carts.
Gears have been turning in my head y'all.

I got to host a panel with a bunch of the indie game devs at FPF. Absolutely pleasure to give everyone a chance to show off their games and tell their stories.
If you are at FPF, definitely hit that area up.

Holy crap I didn't even know this existed. This whole time I thought The Professional was the first time Golgo 13 had an anime.
The "Golgo 13" anime (from 1971) will be released on Blu-ray in Japan.
This series was considered lost until the masters were found two years ago.

This is after Free Play Florida on Sunday, I will be there and I really hope that the #Orlando VGM comes out and shows some love.
I am hoping that this event does well enough that @ceogaming.org will seriously consider music programming at their event finally.

It is definitely Free Play Florida crunch week. I am in charge of panels this year, and apparently guests too. Oh and I have three of my own panels to run.
But hey Team Ongaku hotel at least. I plan to enjoy many cope drinks while watching @bonusstagevan.bsky.social in our room on Saturday night.
