The story of Donkey Kong's development within Nintendo is well-known. But we don't know much about how it got programmed by an outside company called Ikegami Tsushinki. This fundraiser would help translate an article from 1997 detailing the events! paypal.com/pools/c/8Xycs4…

After months of sifting through interviews, doing research, and writing, my latest video script is officially done. This will probably be my longest video yet, so I'll be working away in my editing dungeon until it's done. See you on the other side đź§›

I was hoping this next documentary would be out this year, but it isn't going to happen. It has been a ton of work! I'll be visiting The Strong Museum next month to wrap things up and I hope the video will be done by February / March. In the meantime, Happy Holidays! 🎅

Fire! Norman Caruso covered some info about the Konami LaserScope in his light gun video - like how it's not for big heads. youtube.com/watch?v=keyDD-… It was part of the peripheral explosion that first kicked off for the NES in 1989. Ill-conceived, but heavily memeable.

It took me a couple of months, but I finally completed a full season in Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball and won the World Series! Yes, I'm an old man and took a photo of my TV.
