Thanks to @retropals.bsky.social, I am now aware of Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream, an unreleased Game Boy game which features some kind of nightmarish creature with the heads of Harry and Marv as its final boss.

And now you are too.

The winter FUNraiser continues at 12pm Pacific: We're dumping a new set of mystery ROMs, live on stream! And we need your help to assemble the data!

Based on the labels on these ROMs, there *will* be at least one new unpreserved game in here.

STOP THE PRESSES.

The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.

Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

Well, that's weird! I just checked and don't see anything out of the ordinary.

This is the 2017 "remake" of the old homepage, though it leads to actual wiki pages and not the original site's content.

For our birthday... quote this with one of your favorite articles!

Here's one of mine: tcrf.net/Super_Mario_...
Super Mario Bros. 3 just has so much left over in it... I remember playing around in this level in Nesticle 25 years ago.

If you buy Midnight Landing on Arcade Archives this week, you'll receive a Biorhythm calculator at no extra cost! You can use it to measure your humors or whatever, I don't know. I'm not from the 70s.

We're a bit late to the party, but Data Crystal turned 20 years old last month! That's... old.

DC is the sister wiki to TCRF, focused on reverse engineering, datamining, and documentation; stuff useful for ROM hacks and fan translations.

Getting into the groove of making articles again. Here's one for Strategy X, which was released on Arcade Archives a few weeks back. Includes version differences with the older Stern set, an unused enemy, and evidence for a possible older Konami set buried in Stern's version.

If you've been sitting on something you've wanted to document, now might be a good time to finally log in and write that article. (Or at least log in.)
going to clean up unused accounts on the wiki tomorrow

if you have an account and have made any edit at all, your account won't be deleted. this only affects accounts that were registered and never actually used, and only if they haven't been logged into in >180 days.

Now that Deltarune has been out for a few weeks, you might want to take a look inside the game! A big chunk of chapter 3 got cut, and there's a lot of unused sprites throughout both new chapters.

A larger number of items from Gaelco's archives were given to us recently. Amongst them was a World Rally prototype (on Modular System) from before Carlos Sainz image was covered with a giant helmet. The development story is well known, so this is an important piece of history.

If you use secure, unique passwords, you should not have any problems (consider a password manager). Also, ensure you have a verified e-mail address on your wiki account for password resets, should the need ever arise.
June 10, 2025 at 10:51 PM
There have been reports of "compromised accounts"; unfortunately, some users used the same password for the wiki as they did on other hacked sites, and those accounts were used for vandalism. Any account that was part of a compromised list had its password reset as a security measure.
June 10, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Ongoing events: Unfortunately, the website and community have been the target of an ongoing harassment campaign by the website KF. For those reasons, we've temporarily locked down invites and wiki registrations to prevent abuse and vandalism. (continued)

Happy pride month! To celebrate, the logo rotates through a few different pride flags, and the Discord server icon has been changed to be a little more colorful.
