    Hardware Nintendo stops wiiu production

    I just made a web comic called No Credit Gaming. The second issue is about how I feel regarding the Wii U: http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2016/11/04/no-credit-gaming-issue-2/ Basically, the hardware didn't impress me. The lockout if you don't agree to the forced firmware update sealed the deal.

    Game Panic 2 for the Sega Genesis (Pre-release)

    I put in no DRM or other copy protection. Technically you can dump it for your own personal use. I'd use a Retro Freak or Retrode to do so. Real cart + your favorite emulator = win!

    Game Panic 2 for the Sega Genesis (Pre-release)

    Me and John Hancock (collector and YouTuber) are collaborating on a game called Game Panic 2. The original game was for the Atari 2600 and simulated a Radio Shack LCD title. This one is more Game & Watch /Super Gameboy. Currently it's in final testing before being put on cart and SegaCD...

    Upp Plus released for the Atari 2600

    Upp Plus is a unlimited variant of Upp! for the Atari 2600. The gameplay is Arkanoid-esque but you do not control the "paddle". Instead you control a ship that must avoid the ball and pass up through the level. It can be bought here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Gemintronic ROM of original game...

    Fallout 4 can wait for the bargain bin

    Yeah. Perhaps bug free was a huge overstatement :p I love Bethesda bugs that let you get an edge. There are some situations where I'm just not a good enough FPS player. Glitches help.

    Fallout 4 can wait for the bargain bin

    I used to scrounge around the bargain bin because cheap is good. The only time you bought new is when a major title was released like Super Mario Bros 2 or Final Fantasy 7. Now I can’t bring myself to buy Fallout 4 new despite the hype and anticipation. This is going to be a bargain bin purchase...

    What developers consider "retro" is all wrong.

    As I’m winding up to start my own indie game development studio I’ve come to realize just how warped the “retro” genre is. Many “me too” mobile developers seem to think oversimplification equals retro. Many retro gamers never get beyond the brands and games of their youth. Did David Crane...

    Upp! new Atari 2600 homebrew

    Just released a new Atari 2600 homebrew called Upp! Kind of a reverse Arkanoid as you must avoid the evil paddle and ball :) And, hey! The ROM is a free download! http://theloon.itch.io/upp

    Code Eliminator for the Sega Genesis to be released at PRGE

    Hey! My first sega genesis homebrew Code Eliminator will be released at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. A cart and SegaCD version will be available. Code Eliminator is a very simple shooter in the same vein as Atari 2600 games of yore. One or two players must survive endless waves of "code...

    Game Panic LCD [Atari 2600]

    Jason Santuci & John Hancock have collaborated on a new Atari 2600 homebrew called "Game Panic LCD". The aim was to see how closely an Atari 2600 could reproduce LCD handheld games such as Tank & Plane. The original release topic can be found on AtariAge...

    AtariAge may have gotten cease & desist for Princess Rescue

    That's very interesting. You'd think the big N would kill any form of release like what happened to Crimson Echoes.

    AtariAge may have gotten cease & desist for Princess Rescue

    That's your opinion. Nowhere on the packaging is any mention of any Nintendo character. The sprites were not ripped but almost coded in. The music was transcribed by ear and stuffed into DATA statements. There is no way you would confuse this with a branded Nintendo product. It's an...

    AtariAge may have gotten cease & desist for Princess Rescue

    They've got an in-progress tribute to Giana Sisters here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/201771-s3-the-sensational-santuci-sisters-wip/ Although if similar gameplay gets you threatened by lawyers that will cease to exist too. In this environment NO new games will come out for old systems.
