Rediscovering: Override

This little 2mbit shooter from St!ng, for the PC Engine, was made from pure enthusiasm. It’s not sophisticated or overly polished, but it’s solid and great fun.

Another SuperNES platform game in the Rediscovering series. This time, it’s Sutte Hakkun (すってはっくん), a Japanese puzzle game originally released for the Satellaview satellite add-on, and much later as a retail cartridge in 1999, the year of the Dreamcast.

Rediscovering: Magical Hats

Back in 1989 I had imported a MegaDrive just before the Genesis launched, and got to experience the magic, or rather, the boatload of suck, that was the early 16 bit library.

I’m admitting, finally, that I’ll never play with my treasures as much as I’d prefer, and letting the next person take part in their history. Videogame hardware ahoy!

3D Printing: Replacement Hinge for Hori Joystick

Hori makes some amazing joysticks, but the convenience of a storage compartment in some of them is marred by the their fragility. I whipped up a tiny device that replaces the outside hinge post of a Hori RAP V stick.

8BitDo Retro Keyboard: Famicom Style

I picked up a Famicom keyboard back in Japan, and always wondered about converting it to a PC keyboard. But then, 8BitDo released a pair of mechanical keyboards, one based on the NES colour style, and one on the Famicom. They ticked every box.

Arcade Control Panels and Etc

I’ve been getting back into my arcade bullshit lately, and I’ve started putting together a little repository of information about control panels, joysticks and adaptors for them. There’s a page on the GameSX.com wiki which will lead you to all the details.

Taito Egret II Mini Joystick

Taito’s Egret Mini II Console has an optional joystick, and it’s a modern wonder. New and excellent mechanism, and solid construction.

Arcade Cab Update

I’ve been tinkering a bit more under the hood of my Sega Naomi cabinet. Honestly, and I’m not proud of this, I spend way more time fucking with the wiring than I do playing games.
