I recently added index pages to #PocketCollection. If you’re looking for something specific quickly, it‘s a handy shortcut. What do you think? #pixelart #gameboy #retro #gbstudio

Did you know there was a #C64 Games System?! If not, I bet you‘re not alone. Only 2000 were sold. It used game cartridges only and I guess the cool kids back in the days were more into disk-based local safety backup sharing… However, of course you‘ll be able to read more about it in #PocketCollection! BTW, if you like this kind of pixel process content, let me know! #pixelart #8bit #retro

As the year comes to an end it‘s time to slow down and to take a look at what happened in 2025. #PocketCollection has made good progress but there also remain a few gaps to fill. I’m so glad that I was able to add 2 quality of life improvements: interruptable dialogues and – thanks to a fix in the latest #GBStudio beta release – accurate paper feed for the GB Printer.

Here are the most recent entries. Have a wonderful holiday season and see you all next year!

These are the 1970s gaming consoles I included in #PocketCollection so far. Of course there where more than 16 devices released over the decade but not all left a mark. Which ones do you miss? Please let me know in the comments!

I recently added “Bildschirmspiel 01” from 1979 to #PocketCollection. It’s the only home gaming console that was ever developed and released in the German Democratic Republic. Despite Western embargo on higher technologies, the #GDR managed to import Pong's AY-3-8500 integrated circuit as basis for the “BSS 01”. Only 1000 units were produced, so it was – and is – quiet rare.

@kronicd Thank you! :) Not yet, there is still some work to do. But I'll post updates every now and then...

Some images of #PocketCollection running on an unmodded #Nintendo #GameBoy. You know, I like modded screens but it’s the look on an original DMG that really gives me the chills. It reminds me more than anything else of the lil’ wonder Chris Maltby worked when he created #GBStudio to let people like me bring their ideas to a piece of 36 years old hardware. 🖤
