this illustration was commissioned for a type-in program called Islands for the commodore 64, in the august 1988 issue of RUN magazine.

i am in love with the line-art/woodcut style, painstakingly inked and coloured. it was a different age in which a work of art could be commissioned for a BASIC game that a handful of people in the world would bother to hand-code and play.

this is better art than 90% of the physical big box games i own

update: as it turns out, there is not merely emulating etching/woodcut with inked lines, it IS an etching by artist doug smith who was famous for this style.

@csilverman i’d be interested in seeing those next ads

@vga256 hmm. I'm trying to find them and the only thing image search is bringing up is that woodcut pile of cubes. I'm almost positive I saw at least one NeXT ad with a woodcut illustration of several people in front of a computer, but maybe I'm thinking of something else.

"Atari just bought Intellivision, putting an end to the very first console war."

https://www.engadget.com/atari-just-bought-intellivision-putting-an-end-to-the-very-first-console-war-172320606.html

Real retro-veterans of course know that the first console war was between Atari 2600 and the Philips Videopac, known in the US as the Magnavox Odyssey.

Later, the Mattel IntelliVision was the arch-enemy of the CBS ColecoVision.

I owned an Atari 2600 and later a CBS ColecoVision. Precious childhood memories. 💚

@metin As a company, COLECO had quite the journey

@markmalowany Nice! Sega and Nintendo (Bandai) also started way earlier than I used to think.

You know what! Plugging a Nintendo Wii with an RGB Scart cable into a CRT TV is actually the best way to play this console (I know I know not 480p!).

The CRT TV is very sympathetic to the low resolution nature of the Wii.

I'm having fun reliving some nostalgic memories with Broken Sword Shadow or the Templars Director's Cut plus some other titles.

NE PAS RENOMMER LES ROMS.
Gestion du multi-disque EN COURS de partie :

  1. Créer une liste de lecture .m3u avec les noms originaux des roms de chaque disque.
  2. Renommer le fichier de save (jeu_disc1).srm en (playlist.m3u).srm
  3. Au besoin, renommer les fichier (jeu_disc1).slot1, slot1.metadata, .state et .state.metadata avec le nom originale de la rom du premier disque
  4. quand il faut changer de disque : ouvrir le menu de Lemuroid, l'option est là.

Pourquoi ce pouet ? Car arrivé à la fin du disque 1 de Parasite Eve, je ne pouvais pas passer au disque 2 car je n'avais pas fait de playlist et mes sauvegarde correspondait qu'au premier disque...
En bricolant un peu, ça fonctionne !

Miłe wieści - zupełnie z cichacza na łamach słynnego czasopisma RetroGamer pojawił się artykuł o naszym Wrocławskim Muzeum!

We wrześniu co prawda byliśmy już obszernie obecni w hiszpańskiej edycji - ale o tym wiedzieliśmy - bo mfx udzielał wywiadu.

Tutaj natomiast zupełna niespodzianka! Artykuł z nienacka!

Tak sobie myślę... Muzeum wcześniej pojawiło się w kilku innych wydawnictwach naukowych, jest nawet kilka prac poświęconych częściowo, a nawet całkowicie jemu.

Nie udało nam się tylko zdobyć jednego przez te 7 lat działania - jakiegokolwiek artykuły w polskim czasopiśmie piszącym o retro... ani w takim jeszcze wydawanym, ani już takim padłym.

Do poczytania:

Hey!

We thought about renaming DOSBox Staging but couldn't come up with something better so here is our new easier to remember domain name.

"Atari" acquires "Intellivision".
Not sure about the number of quotes.

@OutofPrintArchive I'm so annoyed with myself that I slept on this back in the day. I feel personally responsible for the future of the series.

@tk

I wouldn't take it personal.

I still remember there being a ton of hate towards this game on message boards back then.
They were focussed on the art style and little else.

Then again, Nintendo got a ton of hate back then no matter what they did. People just couldn't handle them being so successful for some reason.
