Okay, so you know that iMac (mid-2011 model) I rescued from a thrift store for fifteen dollars? After some struggling and a little panic about the screen not working (it was just a cable that disconnected, no biggie), I got it back up on its feet. Hooray for me!...

I'm sure there's a valid reason, but I've got no idea what it is. Why "Kelvin?" Is that a reference to a character in the original Star Trek continuity?

Okay, so I got one of these at a thrift store for $15, and had the galaxy brain idea to open it up and swap out the old plate hard drive with an SSD, even though I don't have much experience repairing Apple devices....

Fanatical is going way out of left field with a selection of old school video games owned by Piko Interactive. They've been scooping up whatever abandoned IPs they can find from the 1990s, and most of these games from the island of misfit toys can be purchased in this collection for as little as fifty cents each....

Mario Ambassador? Did he pay too much for a Nintendo 3DS and get a dozen free Game Boy Advance games?...

Hot on the trail of ten AtGames Flashback consoles and the poorly received VCS comes yet another Atari console, the 2600 Plus. What's so "plus" about this machine, anyway? Well, it runs actual Atari 2600 cartridges... most of them, anyway. It also plays Atari 7800 games, and runs the libraries of both systems in crisp HDMI,...

Here's a Cohost post I made paying tribute to McDonald's Treasureland Adventure. It's the kind of game that could only exist in 1993, back when McDonald's wasn't ashamed to be tacky and weird, and when Treasure was hungry enough for work that they'd take on a nutty project like this. It's not the best Treasure title on the Sega...

The classic puzzle game Chip's Challenge, which made its debut on the Atari Lynx thirty-five years ago (oy vey), has now resurfaced on the Nintendo Switch. For those curious, this is the Lynx game running on an emulator, as opposed to the PC version, which has a higher resolution and a wider view of the playfield, but unsettling...

We've been buried in Atari 2600 game players over the last ten years, including those by AtGames and Atari itself, but My Arcade's Atari Gamestation Pro seems to be the most promising entry yet into this glutted retro market. It's got a versatile joystick (analog and digital controls built into one Atari controller? Viva la...

I realize the Switch is a currently supported console, but this news is a positive reflection on video games in general... the old ones, the new ones, all of them. Next time a politician says the world is going to hell thanks to video games, remind them of this.

The obnoxious 1990s video game mascot has officially returned!...

Honestly, it was a little puzzling that the game didn't ship with these controls in the first place... the Dual Shock had been around for a few years, and the Playstation 2 came with these dual analog controllers by default. But hey, better twenty three years late than never, right? Special thanks to VanLaser for this much...

Good news for fans of the SF2000, the el cheapo handheld game device sold by AliExpress and other Chinese retail sites. YouTube user S1eepy reports that hobbyist programmer Adcockm has brought over twenty new emulators to the system. What this means is that in the near future, you could be playing the software libraries of over...

There's a diagnostic suite of software for game consoles which tests input lag and screen tearing on your display. This suite first popped up for consoles released at the turn of the century (Dreamcast, specifically), but someone has made a version of this toolkit for... the ColecoVision....

MLP (My Little Pony...?) seems to think so, although at the moment, this is just speculation... an educated guess based on past products by Analogue being released shortly after related controllers by 8BitDo....
