Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

MiSTer FPGA History Series: Part 5: Progressing Toward The Late '90s
At this point, MiSTer captured the zeitgeist of the 80s and early 90s, in both the arcades and in the home, for gaming. That'd be pushed towards the mid and late 90s as things progressed.

Since the reviews for my previous articles were so positive, I've got another #MisterFPGA History article for all of you, covering the year of 2020: classicgam.ing/mister-fpga-... . This is the year that, in my opinion, the MiSTer really started to resemble what it is today in most respects.

Over the past week or so, I've been documenting and compiling some insights onto the early history of the MiSTer FPGA project; I've just brought it forward through the end of 2019. classicgam.ing/mister-fpga-... is the first post, it links to parts two and three; more forthcoming.
MiSTer FPGA History Series: Part 1: MiST
Now that we're entering 2025, the MiSTer FPGA project is far from new. It's been around since 2017, when it started as a port of the MiST project. MiST has been around since 2013, and is still receivi...
