Good on him. I’d love to see these return. Screw the greedy studios and their shenanigans.

It’s so cool this is now playable in the Master Chief Collection.
YouTube copyright strike ruining the encore at the end.

Never give up, also there are now two ultra fast blue game characters. Take that Sonic! 
I have no idea about the game this is from, but I watched this to the end for unknown reasons. Worth it.

proud of blue dog.
i have a memory of that glitch occurring to me! At first I questioned if my memory was lying to me, but then later when they discover it is one in about a thousand, I don’t find it that surprising. i played a lot of Majora’s Mask as a child.

It is good to see old Macromedia games being preserved. I would love to see some of them again. They made hundreds of children’s and educational games using Flash and Director and they need a complete redo to run on modern systems, but they represent a very German approach to educating children and “children’s first video games” that is vastly different to games from other countries and so many grew up with them.
What is rarely mentioned when discussing game preservation are the various game localisations that are in DRM hell because they are often not owned by the same people as the source code.
Early on in my gaming career, I owned a German version of You Don’t Know Jack and it was amazing. I can now download that game and play it in English (it makes no sense because I don’t know the answers to the English questions about famous people for example or can’t understand English wordplay), but the German localisation is gone. The same goes for music in games. Some games could easily be still sold or preserved if the rights to the music in them weren’t owned by someone other than the source code.
If game developers cut corners to get the rights to localisations and music today, they’ll be harming preservation tomorrow, and I think that’s still happening unfortunatley.

For those who may be unfamiliar with England outside of London, this is sure to be an eye opener.
I’d never heard of Frank Sidebottom/ Chris Sievey but after watching this I need to know more. Stick around to the end for an absolute banger of a song and the accompanying video programmed and displayed on a…ZX Spectrum?

While this concentrates on the US, I’d say much of it is true for many countries.
Further to the above (in a way) I am currently listening to a podcast where it was mentioned that if a teacher tried to discuss sex/sexuality and consent in school they risk losing their jobs. Is that for real or just hyperbole? Sexuality, and in particular consent, is one of the most important things a person can learn going into adulthood.
If teachers are not allowed to teach these things…well, I’d hate to think what the country will be like - particularly for women - in 10 to 20 years.

Real, but only in certain states. Same with teaching the history of race in the US.

This. It’s a shit show that just makes the states that already suck even suckier, while gay and trans kids are more likely to be ostracized and die. All to curry favor with “christians.” Well, christians and idiots.

Fuck me. I really feel for those who live in America, but I honestly hope the rest of the world pulls together and starts building itself up and moving forward while ignoring the the idiot in charge there.
Maybe Trump with be the world’s “Watchmen’s giant alien” moment.

That future is not going to come to pass. And, I don’t mean that in an “It’s no big deal; don’t worry” way; I mean that in a “People are waking up and people are fed up; they’re fighting, and they’re not going to let that ******* fascist and his cronies win in the end” way.

I hope so but I also feel as though Trump is doing the stuff he said he was going to do. just yesterday, my daughter’s dance teacher wore her maga hat for the first time. idk some of these people are emboldened despite trumps constant obvious buffoonery and evil.
