The Website of the Blue Sky Rangers
I'm surprised these folks are still around! The Intellivision was an ancient property even by the time the Blue Sky Rangers were founded, and their site is still up, even now in this blasted dystopian year of 2023.

They've been making collections and remakes of, and retro consoles containing, the old Intellivisio

I've mentioned both Roguelike Celebration 2023, and its upcoming preview event, before, but it's getting close now, happening on September 10th. It's free to attend! Here is the signup link.

One of the fun touches the Roguelike Celebration people do is provide a MUD-like chatroom for attendees. Both the previe

Save Point brought a whole bevy of Japanese arcade music games to DragonCon this year. I am of two minds of them: it's definitely niche and I'm in favor of that, and it's nice to see a genre like this represented well. But they brought so many of them, and they were stationed close

DragonCon 2023: Gaming Options & Gamecube Events
DragonCon has had a variety of gaming options going back at least a decade.

They used to have, for a surprisingly long time really, a set of networked Battletech pods that some people would dutifully bring every year, with N64-level graphics, that had a dedicated following. The pods were made up in an imm

For some reason, the Hilton Atlanta's public spaces were decorated with a Mario theme. Here's some documentation:

Famicom Family BASIC
I love BASIC! I don't make a secret of it. It was the product, even before DOS, that launched Microsoft. It was invented to be the language to bring programming to the masses, and, for a short time, it fulfilled that function. (These days, if you want to learn coding, I suggest Python.

Unexpected Pinball Cow
Cows have had a long history associated with pinball. Not that long compared to the whole range of pinball, going back to the Great Depression, but in the days of games with dot-matrix displays, it became a tradition to hide cows in pinball games in some way.
