Looping the Zelda one into the thread (also not on YouTube)

Nirvanna the Band the Show - Piano Sessions 01 - FFVI YouTube video by Nirvana The Band The Deleted

I've never even played this game and this one still gave me chills (it's possible I'm easily moved by video game music played on piano) www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJAx...

Here ya go, a masterpiece

Yeah, I can't even find the Zelda one there and that might be the best... inexplicable unless Nintendo or some copyright troll keeps taking them down

I'd been missing out on the Nirvanna the Band "piano sessions" stuff not on YouTube, like this strangely moving short set to Dire Dire Docks from Mario 64.

Been going down the Nirvan(n)a the Band the Show rabbit hole in an attempt to not go insane until I can see the movie and reaching the Wii Shop Wednesday outtakes feels like walking into a room I never knew about in my childhood home.

I'm assuming someone somewhere has speedran two Marios (or two versions of the same Mario) like that at some point, but using emulator trickery instead of a little antenna. This would be far more interesting to me.

A KONAMI HYPERBEAM, a device shaped like a small dish antenna with the words "KONAMI" "SUPER FAMICOM" and "FAMICOM" on it and cables coming out of it, one for plugging it to a Super Famicom's controller port and one for a Famicom's EXT port. It comes with a wireless Super Famicom controller.

Manual for the KONAMI HYPERBEAM, showing the little antenna shooting a laser at the wirless controller.

Ran across a KONAMI® HYPERBEAM™, a wireless controller for Famicom AND Super Famicom that works via an adorable little dish antenna. Wonder if you could connect it to both consoles and play, say, Super Mario Bros./All-Stars Super Mario Bros. at the same time... auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r...

*mad (I blame the fact I'm now typing on a keyboard and not a Sega Genesis 6-button controller, the superior tool for internet communication)

Chatting on my Sega Genesis after a Mortal Kombat XBAND match just to spite this guy from 31 years ago who was made at people accessing the internet from their consoles: bsky.app/profile/mrmx...

(I got these screenshots in 2019, but still)

I don't know how I feel about reflashing Satellaview-compatible games with potentially useful save data to make these... but if I saw Pico Pico Pirates or a Kirby's Toy Box collection I'd probably snatch it in a second

heh, the (NSFW) back of the case admits it's from another game (while claiming the board is original) so I wondered which one it was, good to know! www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auc...

Whoa! Never saw that! I'm very curious to know if the batteries are still alive. I know the Turbo File ones are sadly all dead, according to Luigiblood.

hahaha, sure looks like it!

Love that the Donkey Kong series is STILL fucking with people's heads decades later

Spine for a VHS-looking case that says: Danger! Adult with All sexual scenes SFC SOF7 Copyright 1995 Nisshin affair.

Something I can find almost nothing about (maybe my search terms aren't daring enough): a Super Famicom game called "Danger! Adult with All Sexual Scenes" which came in a porno VHS-looking case. Apparently it was made as a gift for answering a survey in another naughty SFC game. Just sold for $1.4K!

I'm guessing they were flashed over Derby Stallion 96, the cheapest of the Satellaview-compatible games (sometimes I see a big lot of them for cheap). Hope one day someone makes a reflashable Satellaview memory pack so that something cool can be done with the thousands of these on every auction site

I keep seeing these fake Satellaview cartridges. These are games that were downloadable via Satellaview and never got a physical release; someone reflashed them over another cart and slapped a fake label on them. The memory pack slot on top does absolutely nothing... but they do look cool, dammit.

PyroPlayers Magazine - Reviews

The "latest" issue has a Bomberman 64 cover! But they called the multiplayer "weak." Friendship ended with cool fake '90s magazine website. pyroplayers.neocities.org/reviewstatio...

PyroPlayers Magazine - Your #1 Source for All Things Cool!

Ran across a Neocities page made in the style of the "official website" of a nonexistent '90s videogame magazine, complete with period appropriate articles and low-res .GIF screenshots GALORE. There is still good on the internet. pyroplayers.neocities.org/main

I'm glad the Word text-to-speech feature I used on every call was more convincing

@thelogantrent.bsky.social this is exactly what I sounded like in the Cracked calls didn't I

Incredible (pronounced "incredíble")

I think you're onto something @maxkriegervg.bsky.social

Vette! (1989 DOS) multiplayer YouTube video by ZaRR

This is the only footage I can find of the multiplayer mode in the DOS version of Vette!. I'm assuming the online-capable Genesis port would have been about the same but with cooler music and 5fps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoK8...

TIL that Vette!, the DOS open world racing game where you could run over pedestrians in a virtual San Francisco, was supposed to have a Sega Genesis port with online multiplayer via the Mega Modem/Tele-Genesis. (So was Falcon, a flight simulator by the same devs.) Imagine 16-bit GTA in 1990.

Yeah! It was released and you could even continue playing some of the games (like Cyberball) after the service went down during the landline era.

Wow, I didn't know about Vette... just reading up on the modem support now, that's fascinating!

ha, should have guessed it was stolen from something like that
