29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

What's your opinion of reddit? Seems that anytime I make a post on many of the gaming-related subreddits, there's always at least 1 reply that seems designed to launch... well, back in the 1990s, we called them "flame wars". The funny thing is... a lot of the time, it's the moderators themselves!

Being laid off stinks. That said - I have free time now! I think it's time to finally finish editing my interview with ZSKnight (one half of the original developer team of ZSNES in the 1990s). Let you all know when it's done, should be this week, and I hope you all enjoy.
