(Oops: the OG Ballblazer was an Atari 8-bit game first, about 3 months before it hit C64, apologies to all fans of balls and blazers.)

It was a remake of an Atari 8-bit game. It was ported to C64 after the Atari version. Would expect VGHF to know better.
Ballblazer X was shown off at PlayStation's E3 1995 booth. A remake of a 1985 Commodore 64 game, it was developed by Factor 5 and published by Lucasarts. It would make it to shelves two years later as Ballblazer Champions.

Back in May, I helped dump seven prototype game cartridges that represent some of the earliest steps toward home video games as we know them today. I've published my findings on a new Archive Annex video: meet the FRED III. youtu.be/180erQryZFw

Maybe I’m old (well, I am!), but I don’t get these events that are one game trailer after another, with release dates in the far-off future.
Miss the days when you discovered games at release, with only a few screenshots to judge it, and prayed that it was good. 😅

When you are dealing with a PR nightmare, you don’t put another PR nightmare out there to talk about it.
I'm just going to say it... It's really spineless behavior that Dan Clancy wasn't the co-host with Mikey Minty.
He's made his entire run as CEO by being front and center on every stream, but when the toughest announcement yet comes, he throws Mary Kish under the bus.

The most surprising thing about surgery recovery isn’t the pain or amount of time I sleep. It’s when I’m awake I can’t find anything to keep my interest for more than 3 minutes. Literally surrounded by games, music, media, and books - yet I’m still bored to tears.

Sad to see EA fall so far from where it started, but it’s been on the downhill slide since the 90’s. But I’ll always have fond memories of them
from when I started gaming on a computer.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The new Alexa+ voice is so terrible. Somehow manages to grate on every one of my nerves. Also a bit dumber than the old Alexa.

SMH at all the Sony ditching physical media drama. This was coming for a long time, so I’m not surprised. I do find it amusing that many are saying “I’ll just get my games on Steam” or “Cancel PlayStation Plus”. Both non-physical platforms 🤔

I reactivated my BlueSky account because of all the news about it becoming the new hub. I follow 3 non-political accounts, yet my feed is nothing but:
- Politics
- Engagement farmers
- Cats
- Artists
Yeah - this is why I deleted all my social media apps.
