Step aside, Spike! Donkey Kong comes to the Vectrex, and in color! (www.youtube.com)
The Vectrex was an impressive system for its time, but despite its ambitions of bringing the arcade experience home, its manufacturer GCE (later Milton Bradley) didn't have the broad access to arcade hits that the competing Atari 5200 and especially the ColecoVision did. If you wanted a Vectrex version of Pac-Man, you had to...
240p Test Suite Ported to... COLECOVISION?? (forums.atariage.com)
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....
Where is Johnny Turbo?
Lately, not on the Switch. The entire Johnny Turbo's Arcade line, featuring middling emulations of Data East arcade titles, has recently been purged from the eShop. Golem's Retroclassix, also featuring Data East titles like Heavy Barrel and Bad Dudes, has similarly been excised from Nintendo's online store....
The triumphant tragedy of Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Game Boy Advance (www.timeextension.com)
Time Extension recently posted this excellent interview with Cameron Sheppard and Mike Merren, formerly of Crawfish Studios, about its ambitious Game Boy Advance port of Street Fighter Alpha 3, and how it significantly contributed to the downfall of the company. Numerous delays to the game led to Crawfish losing the royalties it...
Fatal Fury resurrected on the Sega Genesis (www.youtube.com)
The original Fatal Fury on the Neo-Geo was ported to the Sega Genesis thirty years ago, but a slim cartridge size meant there were a lot of compromises to what was already a fairly simplistic versus fighting game....
Super Joe DiMaggio Bros. (www.youtube.com)
A coder named Mairtrus made a conversion of the original Super Mario Bros. for the Sega Genesis, and it's quite faithful to the NES game in most respects. That music, though... it sounds like the cheap synth organ you might hear at a baseball game. Stepping up to the plate... it's a-him, Mario!...

Semi-sweet nothing: Clockwork Aquario
Westone's Clockwork Aquario is the quintessential arcade game... loud, colorful, and unapologetically dumb. Perhaps a little too dumb, considering that it missed arcades entirely and was instead ported to modern game consoles like the Nintendo Switch. While it's great from a preservation standpoint that Clockwork Aquario was...
Apple iMac (mid-2011) woes. Can anyone help?
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....
It's-a... someone else: Charles Martinet distances himself from the role of Mario and instead becomes a "Mario ambassador" (www.gematsu.com)
Mario Ambassador? Did he pay too much for a Nintendo 3DS and get a dozen free Game Boy Advance games?...
Why are fighting tournaments always the front for an evil scheme, anyway? (www.youtube.com)
It's not just Street Fighter 2, but a lot of competitors, particularly King of Fighters. You've heard the line from Terry Bogard before, I'm sure... "KOF was just a front for something bad?" Yes, Terry, yes! Just like the last fourteen times! Like the time they were going to resurrect an unstoppable eight-headed serpent from the...

Fruit Stripe Gum Is Gone Forever (www.foodandwine.com)
If you call yourself an older millennial, then you definitely grew up with Fruit Stripe gum, its wildly erratic zebra mascot, and the brightly colored sticks of gum with bold fruit flavors that lasted almost as long as it took you to read this sentence. Almost....
Elon Musk's luck has finally run out (www.businessinsider.com)
This is why using Tesla stock to source cash all the time gets hairy. If Tesla shares fall below a certain level, the banks can call in those personal loans — leaving Musk on the hook. And the quickest way for Tesla’s stock to drop off a cliff is for investors to get wind of a big Musk sale. And of course, he needs to make...
