#konami Bubble Memory #arcade
systems are interesting.

Bootup has two steps - first is warming up the bubble memory chip on the cartridge, then there’s a song and countdown as the entire program is copied from the bubble memory card to system RAM.

Gotta ask people here if they’ve ever seen or used bubble memory in other applications. It was a short lived media that was replaced by “typical” ROM chips.

New in my collection "Gradius" by Konami for the Famicom (NES). I love these little Japanese games. Great artwork on the packaging. #nintendo #famicom #konami #gradius #retrogaming #retrogames #8bit

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...

Cognition Dissemination: Aria of the Solar Eclipse
I wonder why I’ve been thinking about Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow recently.

Konami just put out a HD collection for one of my favorite games ever, Felix the Cat, for Switch and PlayStation (it's among several for a blog post I almost have done on video games I'm obsessed with).

The new collection includes both the NES and Game Boy versions & allows for saving and rewinding at any time (maybe I'll finally beat it! 🤣)

This'll eventually be a must-grab for me, but I gotta wait for a sale on this one.

This week's Retro Game Of The Week features spaceships. And pigs. And penguins. And mermaids, babies, draculas and paper planes.

It's the truly wonderful, slightly weird Gokujō Parodius for the Super Famicom!
