Rescuing the lost code and stereo sound to Sinistar [video]

We'll have extensive documentation and understanding of pre-2000s games one century from now due to their simplicity and modularity. The same can't be same of more recent games protected by DRM and with "always online" requirements (which often implies server-side logic)...

oof, that part about some MAME developer telling him to fuck off on his valid criticism that his pull request got modified and merged ineffectively.

I made a playable Sinistar clone as an instagram filter. Looks like it&#x27;s fallen victim to the never ending progress of the Spark AR platform.

Wow. I love older arcade games. The level of effort put into figuring all this out is amazing.

I used to play this after school at Timezone in Fremantle. It blew my mind. I was never very good at it though; Spy Hunter and Joust were my best coin op games at Timezone.

Wow, this is a good documentary. Thanks for posting.

Admirable effort!
