March bonus #1: Misplaced Childhood [airplay banded vinyl rip, Side A]

Although this little Patreon endeavor primarily concerns itself with video games, I do occasionally stumble across little bits and pieces of lost media worth sharing. Here's one of them: a record that I've owned for more than 30 years and which do...

Segaiden 77: Final Bubble Bobble & Bomber Raid

We have reached 1989, friends. The gap between Master System coverage and NES Works grows ever slimmer. I'm still torn between whether I should just plow straight ahead and get Master System up to August 1989 and the Genesis launch, or if I should...

Tensai Bakabon & Nekkyu Koushien: Segaiden 76

This episode seemed as good a time as any to mark Japan's transition from the Showa era to the Heisei, a significant cultural shift that happened during the period of time that I've been exploring in the majority of my videos over the past few yea...

February Bonus #4: Virtua Racing [Genesis] VHS promo

Whoa, gosh. I almost let February slip past without sharing a fourth bonus item. Well, here it is: a promo tape for the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing. It's short and a little disappointing, much like February! Actually, no, it's hard...

Segaiden 75: Hoshi o Sagashite...

"Another Japan-exclusive Mark III game?" you muse to yourself. "Boring. No thanks!" Ah, but what if I told you that this was a Phantasy Star spinoff? What then, wiseguy?

I mean, it's not, really. But it kind of is? I guess you'...

Megumi Rescue & Super Racing: Segaiden 74

Friends, my survey of Japan-exclusive Sega Mark III games continues apace this week with a couple of games that surprised me with their sheer goodness. Megumi Rescue in particular is a load of fun, and I have to imagine that people w...

February bonus #3: The King of Fighters R-1 [Game Boy Works Gaiden/NGP]

This has been one of the most taxing and time-intensive "side" videos I've put together to date. But, you know, it had to be. Not only did I need to do justice to The King of Fighters R-1 and its place in portable gaming history, I a...

Segaiden 73: Solomon's Key and Galactic Protector

Wow, up to episode 73 of Segaiden already. I would never have believed it five years ago. Life is a miracle sometimes. This episode concerns two more Japan-exclusive Mark III releases, although Galactic Protector feels a lot more exc...

February bonus #2: Street Fighter Game Simulation Video VHS rip

I had hoped to have the latest monthly bonus original up this past weekend, but the next Neo Geo Pocket piece is a bit of a doozy and is taking longer than anticipated. So please look forward to that next weekend. In the meantime, here's another V...

Segaiden 72: Miracle Warriors & Argos no Juujiken (Rygar)

Wow, gosh. This episode brings 1988 to an end for Master System. Well... mostly. I do want to cover the handful of Japan-exclusive titles that showed up between March and September 1988. Hardly anything to speak of, really, but I'm gonna do it any...

February bonus #1: Game Tech Video vol. 14

So. How's it going today? (Feel free not to answer that.)

For this weekend's bonus video, I just remembered that I had never posted the last two VHS rips of Game Tech Video. This one lacks the manic charm of the early volumes, but it does in...

January bonus #4: Baseball Stars (Neo Geo Pocket / Game Boy Works Gaiden)

I dunno, maybe I should have branded this NGP Works or something. Oh well!

ANYWAY. Here is the first proper episode of my Neo Geo Pocket/Color series—that is, the first episode about a game rather than the system or market conditions into...

Segaiden 71: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

I always thought San Diego was in SoCal, just an hour or two north of Mexico. But here's Sega trying to gaslight (or maybe Gaslamp?) me into second-guessing myself. Rude.

Oh, wait, that's not Sega's doing. It's Parker Brothers. The audacity ...

January bonus #3: Seta Game Works Scene One 4K VHS rip

Sorry, it's a spicy one this time. Atypically so. Hence the age-gating—you'll have to click through to YouTube if you want to see this tremendously naughty video.

The thing is, though, I didn't realize it would be quite so na...

Segaiden 70: Rambo III & R-Type

"R" you ready for this episode? Looking back at this one, I think I was feeling a little punchy when I scripted it. But, really, there's only so much you can say about a mediocre light gun game based on a mediocre movie from the "transitioning int...

January bonus #2: Contra BGV VHS rip

Here's a fun one—an official Konami-published video tape of the Contra arcade game. If you couldn't afford to own an arcade cabinet back in the day (and whomst amongst us could, really?), you could have the next best thing in the form of a video...

Segaiden 69: Power Strike

Segaiden is back! Provided you subscribe to the Sega Challenge newsletter, that is. The rest of you are out of luck, because this episode is not available at retail in the U.S. That's right, this episode tackles the stunning Compile ...

January bonus 1: Taito History Vol. II VHS rip

Good evening (somewhere in the world). Here is the second and to my knowledge final volume of the Taito history VHS series from 1990. As with so many of these tapes, I sure wish I had known about these VHS tapes back when I was covering the Famico...

The NES Era Vol. III promo trailer

I should have posted this weeks ago, I know. But I didn't! And now here it is. What a world, what a world.

This is the final volume of the NES Era trilogy of photo/text coffee books. But I can tell you that sales have already b...

NES Works Gaiden 76: Solaris / Tax Avoiders / Cubicolor

First: avoid this episode if you have a sensitivity to strobing effects. Solaris goes way overboard with them.

Second: you're watching the forbidden version of this video. The final public release will have a different media co...

NES Works Gaiden 75: Jr. Pac-Man / Track & Field / Midnight Magic

Hello to you, now that you've slept off your New Year's Eve hangover and groggily logged on for the year 2025. We're entering January 2025 by looking back to... 1986? Games for a console that debuted in 1977?! Yes, I'm afraid so. But no, wait... i...

Final 2024 bonus: Neo Geo Pocket intro

One last video to close out the old year—one I've been wanting to create for a decade now and finally decided to pull the trigger on. I was hoping to be able to record this as an analog RGB signal from Analogue Pocket, but Analogue still hasn't ...

NES Works Gaiden 74: Atari 2600 beyond the crash

I've been mulling the prospect of tackling the latter-day Atari 2600 library for years now. Given all the other material I've set up recently as a supplement to NES Works, I realized I'd be abrogating my obligations as an elder nerd with noisy opi...

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Thanks for everything, and... late episode post this week

I figured if I started this post with a lot of positive vibes, the fact that this week's episode is running behind wouldn't feel like such a bummer. It's not the season for bummering!

Anyway, the delay is all for a good cause... sure, famil...

Segaiden Episode 67: Phantasy Star

Whew. It's here.

My one regret with this Phantasy Star episode is that I didn't have more time to play for my recording sessions. Not just because I would have liked to have recorded material further into the game, but also bec...

And the actual video...

Sorry, folk, it's been A Week. And the progressive enshittification of the Patreon interface doesn't help! Here's Golvellius.

Segaiden 68: Golvellius

Yeah, I skipped over Segaiden 67. You want to fight about it?

Nah, I'm just running these out of sequence here on Patreon because I had to completely rearrange my office over the past week and haven't had my capture system hooked up to recor...

December bonus #2: The History of Video Games (Taito Vol. I) VHS rip

Hey kids, you like the video game history, huh? Well, here's a look at video game history that is, in itself, historic. This VHS tape from 1990 helped pioneer the art of talking about how old video games brought new ideas to the table and influenc...

NES Works Gaiden 73: INTV feat. Thunder Castle

I won't be spending a HUGE amount of time at once on any of the sidebar also-rans of the late ’80s, so even if you have no interest in latter-day Intellivision, you need only wait until next week to get back to the juicy Sega and Nintendo stuff ...

December bonus #1: Square Soft 1996 Marketing Reel (feat. Super Mario RPG)

A new month, a new count on the bonus material. Numbers, am I right?

This one is a lot less obscure than the other videos I've posted this weekend, but I figure it never hurts to go with a crowd-pleaser from time to time. This tape shows off...
