Finally got a copy of Q*bert’s Qubes for the Atari 2600, and after taking the time to figure out how it works, it’s actually fun! I got through 5 boards and a bonus round #atari #2600 #qbert

Thank you to @GamemasterH and @MatthewPTaranto for this awesome new book on Nintendo and Howard’s experiences at 1980s Nintendo! It is precisely what I have wanted for a long time.

Finished Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time since 1990. It is still great fun. Fairly long and slightly stressful since you can’t save and thus have to do it in one run. But immensely satisfying! On to SMW.

I said I was done buying #VHS. But these three perfectly hit the nostalgia spot.

When is the last time you bought brand new 5 1/4” floppies? Today! 💾 #floppy #floppydisk #retrocomputing

This is really the main reason I wanted to get my Tandy back! My original childhood pirated copy of Prince of Persia still works! #tandy #princeofpersia #dosgaming

Played through Luigi’s Mansion for GameCube for the first time. My son and I really enjoyed it. Luigi nervously humming the theme song as we wandered around the mansion was a highlight of my Nintendo experiences. I couldn’t get enough of it!

Have you looked in the last place you left them?? Seriously, though, I don’t think I could live without my repair tools 😆

It is kind of a simplified clone of Star Raiders/Starmaster. Not so complicated as that, but for example I never knew there were star portals you could find to refill energy or what the different audio tones meant.
