Interesting SNES Demo Cart

I bought a few EPROM boards from someone recently and some had chips on them. Turns out it’s a 1996 Tokyo Toy Show version of Nazo Puyo 2, with new special screens, but missing about one third of the content in the released game. It’s kind of neat.

IS Electronics Saturn Address Checker

I picked up a huge and rare Saturn Address Checker made by IS Electronics. No, this isn’t a repeat, this one’s a LOT different. About 8kg different in fact.

New word!

I coined a new word today: Uglygons, n. Used to describe the primary 3D components that make up beloved 2D game characters or items when they’re re-released on a new generation of hardware. For examples, see any Bomberman or PS2 Sega Ages remake. Usage: They remade the game with uglygons instead of sprites.

So, how about that Nintendo DS, eh?

So Nintendo has announced their new amaze-o-tron product, the DS. According to the official press release (seen here on GameSpy) it’s a dual-screen portable system. The press release is phenomenally light on details – there’s no information about titles, developer support, design, features, resolution, processor… Just a vague comment about ‘semiconductor memory up to one […]

New graphics…

Some of you may have noticed the new NEC consoles gracing the background of this page instead of the screenshots that used to be here. Please rest assured they’ll be back after I tire of my own vektorgraphik magnificence. I whipped up a CoreGrafx, PCE and TurboGrafx so far, and as you can see here […]
