Having grown up as #VideoGames became a “thing”, I splurged on one of the many #retrogaming handhelds for me and my son. He’s an avid gamer of the #GameBoy generation.
Impressed by this little device, the Miyoo Mini+, which can be had for $60 to $80. Emulators for a bunch of handhelds and consoles. There are more powerful / larger options and plenty of software mods you can do.
Now my son wants us to start a YT channel and “review” old games as if they just launched. 🙄
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. 💚
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.
To fully understand the #Atari takeover of #Intellivision, imagine a hollowed out corpse, piloted from within by a #French armadillo, devouring the dessicated remains of its former rival.
Anyway, the shitposts on Atari Age should be a sight to behold.
TIL that Intellivision still exists as a company. I had an Intellivision in the 80s, and it was technically superior in every way to the Atari 2600... but all my friends had Ataris...
i'm finally opening up boxes of software from my archive that haven't seen the light of day in 15-20 years. today, i found a program that has never been archived or probably seen in over 40 years.
i absolutely adore this dungeon mastering program for the TRS-80 that was distributed in ziplock bags in 1982
i can find only one mention of it on the web - the august 1982 issue of TRS-80 Rainbow magazine that advertises it for $19.95 + S&H
happily, i found the cassette, which has never been archived anywhere AFAIK. i am scanning in the printed documentation, along with making a recording of the tape.
💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 We checked out Dungeon Keeper, the game in which you are the baddie, developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by EA at the very tail end of the DOS gaming era in 1997.
This was another huge hit for Bullfrog, but does it hold up nowadays? Let's find out!
