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!](https://youtu.be/uke3YA6aSZk) 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.
