- w00t, beat Micro Mages hard mode tonight, shortly after I hit hole 3000 of Desert Golfing.
I've been working through an F* tutorial, somewhat slow going as I'm trying to learn Emacs and fix issues with my system at the same time.
Next step is to run through Micro Mages in one run (I can get up to hard mode pretty easily without losing a life), then figure out what the other 3 special items are, I guess that they correspond to beating the bosses in some odd way (as with the one I found so far), but maybe they're hidden; there are a few out of the way places I know of that I haven't reached yet.

- Happy 35th anniversary, Super Mario Bros!
Thought I'd play through (with warps) in celebration. What an amazing game!
(My own 35th birthday is 2 days later)

- Finished Micro Mages without continues, final score 145100. Still no wiser about the other hiddin items, though I have found at least one unhelpful warp.

- I played through A Monster's Expedition (Through Puzzling Exhibitions) this weekend, great game! I haven’t enjoyed a puzzle game of this type (Sokoban-esque with discovered mechanics) so much since Stephen's Sausage Roll. The aesthetics are nice and peaceful. The puzzles are clever, often tricky, yet restrained so things never get out of hand. The humor is low-key. I enjoyed the dynamic music cues a lot, and I usually don’t like those much. Check it out!

Speaking of Stephen's Sausage Roll (which is a good deal harder), there's a bundle on Steam with A Monster's Expedition, SSR, and Baba Is You (a brilliant puzzle concept, meta-Sokoban) called Baba's Sausage Expedition - Puzzle Game Masterpieces .

- Zachtronics is running an Indiegogo campaign for an NES version of HACK*MATCH, a mini-game from EXAPUNKS. The game was written with a "custom C compiler" that will be included with the game, the campaign includes a run of physical NES cartridges or just digital stuff.
I didn't play enough of EXAPUNKS to get to HACK*MATCH, but this seems interesting so I signed up as soon as I heard about it!

- Finally finished a project that's been on my mind a lot. Two tapes, two tape repairs, and several recordings later, it's Nintendo 64 Original Soundtrack Greatest Hits - Cassette Version. There's a lot of noise, but the signal is pretty strong, as this was taken from a freshly opened tape (which I nevertheless had to repair when the leader separated). I'm thrilled to be able to fill in the vgmdb entry!
Also, I see the forum got a link from an Ars Technica article about instrument source research, congrats to those interviewed! And welcome to anyone new coming in from the link!

- I played through an old classic of the interactive fiction community, Spider And Web, over the past two days (got stuck yesterday, eventually needed hints). I'd heard interesting things about its structure from a co-worker. It was great! There were a few rough patches that a more seasoned IF player might have had an easier time with, and I had expected a more intricate endgame, but it was a truly fun puzzle to work out, and well written. I started playing Hadean Lands, a commercial release by the same author, a few months ago, I may try finishing it again off of this success.

- I've made a page on the Intelligent Systems Video Boy, a device that plays Virtual Boy games on a TV, with internal photos of the unit I bought a few months ago.
Glad to finally feel like I can be done with this, let me know if anyone finds issues.

- Very interesting, hcs! You could make a YouTube video about this machine.

Thanks!

I'd like to, but probably a better idea to loan it to someone else, I fear I'd drive myself crazy trying to produce a video.
