John Champeau wrings a faithful port of Tutankham out of the Atari 2600 (forums.atariage.com)

Some people are the masters of their instruments. For Rush's Neal Peart, it was the drums, for Slash, it was the guitar. For John Champeau, it's the Atari 2600. He's coaxed games out of this system that just shouldn't be possible, whether it's a port of Galaga that's better than the Atari 7800 version, or a conversion of Wizard...

Anyone know any other games similar to the Oracle ones? Already have a few (Anodyne, Lenna's Inception), looking for more.

The Zelda games on the Game Boy and Colour are unique within the Zelda series as a whole. Strange plots, enemies, music, mystery and even gameplay plague the three games. Hell, in Link's Awakening half the enemies are straight up from Super Mario Bros. And the oracle games come with novels and feature interconnected password...

Spinning Image brings Compile's forgotten puzzler Guru Logi Champ to the Commodore 64 (carletonhandley.itch.io)

Guru Logi Champ for the Game Boy Advance was the last game designed by Compile before the company's untimely bankruptcy. This refreshingly unique puzzle title was a Japanese exclusive, but Western players can finally get a taste of its block-tossing, screen-spinning action in Carleton Handley's Spinning Image, for the Commodore...

The Jeff Minter Story rated Mature, and not just because his fans are old enough to have prostate issues (bsky.app)

A few days ago, a warning flashed on my Xbox Series. "The Jeff Minter Story now rated MA-18!" I was thinking to myself, "What fresh hell do we have here? Did they find naked llamas in the game? Or a hidden game, like Hot Coffee in Grand Theft Auto? Eww, them's some gross implications there."...

Programmer Skyfloogle, has released Red Viper, an updated virtual-boy emulator for the 3DS. (github.com)

From the github description: "A Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS continuing mrdanielps's work on r3Ddragon, which is itself based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon. It uses a dynamic recompiler with busywait detection and a hardware-accelerated renderer to achieve high performance on the 3DS's limited hardware."

Chip's Challenge hits the Switch. Yeah, I didn't see that coming, either. (www.nintendo.com)

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...

Final Fight MD Hits its Halfway Point in Development (www.youtube.com)

Mauro Xavier and his team are still hard at work on Final Fight MD, the ambitious Sega Genesis port of the classic belt-scrolling brawler. The first three stages of the game are fully playable in the beta currently available on Xavier's Patreon page, taking you through the bar, into the wrestling ring with a handful of Andores,...

Stupid cheap handheld gets absurdly versatile with new custom firmware (github.com)

Remember the Data Frog SF2000? It's a re-donkulously cheap handheld game system sold on Chinese mail order outlets like AliExpress and Temu. You can get one of these for as little as twenty dollars, not a bad deal when you consider there's just enough power packed into one of these systems to play Capcom arcade games and a hefty...

Price Alert! Rabio Lepus (aka Rabbit Punch) Gets a Robot Rabbit Rebate! (www.nintendo.com)

Good news for fans of obscure side-scrolling shooters! Rabio Lepus (which I remember in arcades as "Rabbit Punch") is now half off its original price on the Nintendo Switch, bringing the total down to $3.99. This was one of developer Video System's first games, starring two rabbit droids blasting and punching their way through...

Minter comes alive in Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, coming for numerous game systems (www.youtube.com)

Digital Eclipse is on fire lately! The creators of Atari 50 and Karateka Gold are now setting their sights on cult game designer Jeff Minter, who made dozens of twitchy arcade-style titles for home computers like the VIC-20 and Atari ST....

Oh no! Here comes Tokio! (www.timeextension.com)

Coming soon to a Nintendo Switch or PS4 near you, whether you like it or not! It's the Taito arcade title Tokio, a decidedly lackluster shoot 'em up from 1986. Tokio plays like a halfway point between Capcom's 1942 and Nichibutsu's Terra Cresta, with your biplane flying over the Japanese cityscape, blasting formations of stealth...

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 french fried fever dream of McDonald's Treasureland Adventure (cohost.org)

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...
