I had a moment of realization the other day. Not that I’m old, because we know that’s true. It’s just that I’ve been on the internet for 29 years this month. That makes me feel older than it should.

It’s interesting in how Camp Hyrule has captivated people. Last few years or so there are at least three, that I know of, videos that came out about it. I guess it’s enough to fill a video without being too much. And it’s a blip in some early internet history which makes it fun.

Always interesting to see videos of Nintendo’s old communities come out. A recent one did for Camp Hyrule. Finishing watching that now. I knew it was in works, but didn’t know when it’d be out until I found it yesterday during my regular internet sleuthing. 🔎 I’m always looking for information.

Happy New Year!
W that said, gonna throw out first post of year asking if anyone might have any images, text, or anything from the old official Nintendo communities (LH, NSider, CH). Always on the hunt for new material. Not like I have many leads these days to dig up more info! :( #nintendo #nsider

Here is the second sculpture I created during my « Kent Melton Scholarship Award» by CTN Foundation.
Based on #Ekko from #Arcane
Presented in LA last week.
It wasn’t easy to catch his personality in clay, but I think I got it right.

Gotta admit. While doing research and you have little moments of an epiphany, it’s quite fun. Narrowing down timelines and specific dates. Yesterday had one while just talking casually about the research in Discord. I think I narrowed down a date I'd missed before.

Didn't realize I hadn't showcased any of my translations here yet. Probably the most fun ones for me have been the Mother novels by Saori Kumi. You can find them here! 🌏

Can't believe it's been a year since I gave my Importance of Game Merchandise Preservation talk at The Strong National Museum of Play. Was an honor and I still hope more collectors can come together to help take this seriously.

Man, reading through old posts, here but also Twitter, and realize some stuff I set out to find but haven’t. But then realize it’s all down to someone being lucky enough to have said item stored on a hard drive somewhere. Pretty sure the Yoshi’s Story Yoshi game is going to be difficult.

Good gravy. Is my math right? Happy, what would have been, 30th Camp Hyrule. 👀

It’s interesting to do Google searches from time to time. “Nintendo NSider” and “Camp Hyrule” are my go-to search terms. Interesting to see how many remember CH and want to talk Zelda more recently. I try to leave my marks where I can. This year a little more quiet though. Time marches on...

To celebrate the Switch 2 release, we made a video showcasing all the flash games from Nintendo's virtual summer camp: Camp Hyrule!
Big thanks to @mukusix.bsky.social and the rest of the NSiders community for their archival of Camp Hyrule!
Hopefully even more assets for CH are uncovered one day!

Looking at my two other DCR CH games after yesterday, and I don’t believe they are up. donkey.dcr and kremling.dcr so I’m assuming it is Donkey Konk and Kremling Krunch but can’t be sure. Tried Flashpoint on my new Mac and .. it has given me nothing but issues. But they also don’t say my current OS…

Bluesky tidbit: I uploaded Fish Tails games to archive.org. Even as DCR folks can get it and put it in a flash player to play at least. And gives us another place it is archived. But not only that, enjoyed!
Thanks goes to @bbladem83.bsky.social for the thought today to still upload it.

It’s been a while. Maybe it’s worth asking again. Anyone have any Camp Hyrule games or files we don’t have up on archive.org? Still looking to preserve as much of that as we can. It’s amazing to see how many have connected with that and enjoyed.

I just did a Pikachu gasp when I logged into GOG to download my games to new computer. I only remember buying Torchlight, Descent 1 and 2, and Sim City 2k. Where did the rest of these games come from? 👀

Gotta prep myself to jump back into this project. My medicine is, amazingly even at start, slowly making me feel better. Which means I can work on other things again. Perhaps that means I can work on the outline and all again before jumping into any major writing!

It’s amazing to think about things we think we should archive and catalog. But often times, it’s too late, or much, much harder to do by time we think about it. I’m glad to see all the archiving projects on Bluesky. But also makes me realize how mine is but a spec of dust about to be blown away.

Now that I've finished digitizing and uploading all 230+ of the Dave Lowe disks, I'm pleased to share that I've sent the physical disks to The Strong Museum of Play, who have graciously included them in their extensive archives.
Thank you, @borman.bsky.social and @museumofplay.bsky.social!!

I obtained hundreds of disks from veteran game musician & programmer Dave Lowe, who worked on games through the 80s & 90s; from original music for Beneath a Steel Sky & Starglider (progenitor to @dylancuthbert.bsky.social and Giles Goddard's Star Fox), to port-jobs of titles like Street Fighter II.

I know there is always a chance, very slim as it may be, to find stuff. But when you know so much is lost to the sands of time, it's really hard. I honestly wish I had gotten more into this earlier. But alas. Feel like at this point a lot of it has to come from interviews. Info vs things we see. :(

This is a big deal! I had a long fireside chat with Gail Tilden about her marketing career at Nintendo, where among many other things she:
- Launched the NES
- Was the editor-in-chief of Nintendo Power
- Launched the Pokémon brand in the West
She brought some stories she'd never told before!
