Tangentially related as Nolan Bushnell is the co-founder of both Atari and Chuck E. Cheese! Enjoy a silly look at the history of this scary, weird, and funtastic brand :)

Fun video about picking the NES lock that your parents might have used to get you to do your homework before playing games :)

I've been restoring old open source games. I make them easy to build again and add new features. Recently I've started creating videos to promote this work.

I created some bad artwork of the characters in Fight or Perish, an open source Dandy/Gauntlet clone and pretended to discover this lost arcade cabinet artwork. https://youtu.be/V2n4WDZ346o

A deep dive on the cultural and gameplay inspirations behind the Nintendo franchise Metroid.

I recently decided to embark on a quest to see if I could preserve a little piece of Nintendo memorabilia: a set of three Super Mario Bros 2 View-Master reels from 1989! I wanted to not only preserve their contents, but also find a way to display the images in 3D the way they were intended to be seen! The Imgur post goes into my process. The part I'm most proud of is the stereoscopic VR video! If you have a VR headset, it's absolutely worth a watch! I even added sound clips from the corresponding episode of the Mario Bros Super Show cartoon to make it more immersive.
