In 1997, Maxis revealed a new version of SimCopter for the Nintendo 64. Two years later, it disappeared. We found out why...and we found a copy of the game.

Check out this awesome scan of the Fairyland Story guide put out by Game Freak. These are generally VERY expensive so huge thanks to @PictoDev for purchasing and scanning this to share with the world!
Before they were game developers, Game Freak made magazines. I've scanned their guide for The Fairyland Story, check it out! #GameFreak #RetroGaming

Yes, I'm the poor soul who ported DOOM to the 3DO. Gaze at the source code, if you dare. github.com/Olde-Skuul/doom3d…

All five volumes of Club2HD Positive have been scanned and uploaded. This was a Japanese zine that ran for a few years in the mid to late 90s covering early game emulation, copiers, piracy, and all sorts of interesting stuff. gamingalexandria.com/wp/tag/…

Really cool Nintendo history:
This is a flyer from WCES, Jan. 1987. This was the announcement of both Zelda and Punch-Out!!, which did not yet have Mike Tyson attached.
At the time ALL packaging used the "black box" design from 1985, so they mocked the two games up with it.

As you may know we've kicked off our Typing Taskforce for preserving old type in games from mostly Micom BASIC magazines. With our Patreon funds we managed to grab ALL the early unscanned issues as well as some missing 1986 LOGIN's. THANK YOU SO MUCH PATRONS!

Here’s a recently discovered image of the very first drawing of #MortalKombat’s dragon icon. I designed the icon as both a symbol of our game and its fictional tournament… (thread) #MK30

#ChampionWrestler had several name changes during development:
🤼Taito Pro-Wres(tling) and
💪Strong Muscle!
were amongst the choices!
Bonus trivia: the game went to test locations with a trackball, but no one played it😭

Jina Ishiwatari Tsukahara spent one year designing Sonic's Green Hill Zone.
She had just graduated university, and she was working from 6:00am to midnight on the game.
She deserves way more credit for this.

Illustrator Lawrence Fletcher passed away last month according to his sister. He did many game illustrations from the late 80s to the mid 90s, especially for the US branch of Vic Tokai, starting with Clash at Demonhead.
