NES Works Gaiden swings a bat and an axe with the Epoch Cassette Vision

Gaming historian Jeremy Parish takes an in-depth look at the Epoch Cassette Vision, an early Japanese game console with the brains of the system inside the cartridge, rather than the console itself. (Milton Bradley's Microvision, released around the same time, took a similar approach.)

Two games are featured in this YouTube video... Kikori no Yosaku and Baseball. The former game was based on a hit 1970s song* and the latter is a simplified take on the sport, closely resembling Toy Baseball from the Switch version of Clubhouse Games.

I'm grateful America never got a video game based on Muskrat Love...

Old Games For Old Gamers

@OldGames4OldGamers@kbin.social

Discussion of retro video games (circa 1972 to 2013), from the perspective of those who played them the first time around. Pull up a chair and share your experiences. What was your first game console? What retro games have you played lately, and what recent homebrew titles hope to fill gaps in an orphaned console's library? This is the place to talk about it!

Rules

This is still early, so the rules aren't finalized, and are subject to expand and change when the situation demands it.

Don't be a jerk. That should give you a pretty good idea of how to behave, but in case you need specifics, treat other users respectfully, and avoid being racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic. Moderate snark is fine, but try not to make things personal.
Sharing homebrew games is very much encouraged, but don't provide links to officially released software still protected by copyright. Homebrew games based on existing IP is fine, and ROMs released to the public domain or available with a free use license are fine.
No porn, no illegal content.
Trades and sales are not banned, but this magazine and its owner cannot be held liable for transactions gone wrong. This isn't the place for that... have you considered Cheap Ass Gamer instead?
Discussion of older game systems (2013 and before) and classic games for recent consoles is preferred. Right now, that dividing line is set at the Xbox One, which was recently discontinued by Microsoft.
