40 Years - 1986

Arkanoid breaths life into the venerable ball-and-paddle genre, forever changing the way "Breakout style" games are thought of.

One of the creators did a history of Arkanoid published by Beep magazine some years back.

Really love how Generative AI tools are enabling tiny developers like ~checks notes~ ...Ubisoft... to really punch above their weight with risky indie hits like... the 8th game in the Anno franchise.

MY BOY SCREAMING MAD GEORGE CREATOR OF THE WEIRDEST PINBALL GAME EVER!

Thanks to a local volunteer, our Domesday VHS capture setup is working again! This still-experimental hardware mod lets us read from VHS tapes at the highest possible quality, directly from the internals of the VCR

Currently digitizing this goofy Xbox Live infomercial...

I'm curious, peeps: is there a game that's curiously or unexpectedly nostalgic for you?

It could be nothing special, and it could be totally obscure, but just thinking about it or seeing it or hearing a bit of music gets you, oof, right in the <3.

This is one of mine; would love to see yours!

Fearless earnestness is the next cultural phase.
The new Lumines has absolutely killer art direction precisely because it has zero fear of being perceived as corny. It will just throw every idea it has at you and maybe not all will land but at some point you WILL cry about how all humans are connected while matching broccoli and tomatoes onscreen
