People who make margins on misery complaining about increased taxes on margins of misery. Let’s have a complete ban on advertising gambling too.
A great version of one of my favourite coin ops ever.
Blooming software houses trying to get you demonetised and censored from YouTube 38 years prior. That’s some 4D Chess move.
That’s an eclectic set of recommendations.
To be fair, when the Megadrive appeared on the virtual console, or when Nintendo released a Megadrive controller for NSO or when Sega put Sonic on the Gameboy advance had similar hell freeze over vibes. Buying your competitor and releasing it yourself feels like a hold my beer moment though.
I watched The Dead Zone on the plane for the first time in many years, what a cracking watch, it’s still stands up as a cracking story, a great ensemble cast, with Christopher Walken nailing it. I find I’m too squeamish for David Cronenberg’s body horror but this was a great watch.

Just finally clocked the right hand picture. Bruce Lee and the sumo wrestler look great for an Arkanoid level. I’m sure a Paradroid or Nebulus screenshot might work too.
Gamepass and streaming is blinding MS from the obvious solution, an affordable Xbox handheld, made by themselves or licensed to someone else to make. A $1000/£800 premium pc that doesn’t actually play Xbox games natively never was the answer and will just cause confusion.
On one of my first jobs working for a local authority involved me leaving a school site to get a replacement terminator from home. I fixed the networking issue but got a bollocking for leaving site without telling anyone. It still smarts 25 years on.

New blog post! A look at the region converter hidden in some early NES games, an analysis of an NES epoxy blob cart, and an attempt to repair a broken Famicom cartridge. A bit disconnected but I hope you enjoy! nicole.express/2025/not-jus...
Cartridge Chaos: The Official Nintendo Region Converter and More!
This post is a combination of looks at several oddities among my pile of NES and Famicom cartridges. Why, for example, do I have a copy of Gyromite when I do...

Some photos over the last year as I began building the system for the LAN Party, testing to make sure it all worked and committing everything to the case as I was repairing cracks and gluing on magnets to support the liquid cooling system.

Shite’s the word your looking for. Half way through a meal, you stop your better half and say “stop eating, love” and pass her the plated, statement piece… and say “I’ll get my coat” 😂

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SEGA Mark III console in Japan, Astro Climber will be released and available for free on 20th October. #homebrew #mastersystem
Maybe with a little Bombjack close quarter platforming too.
It’s like Bionic Commando and Xenon 2 had a homebrew baby, in a good way. I need to try this out on my Mastersystem.
