Most of the actual news about this project has already been covered elsewhere, so this is really just me indulging my love of strange physical gaming media and the wonderfully impractical things people come up with.
I’ve always been fascinated by oddities from gaming history, and the idea of someone getting Doom and Super Mario Bros. working with VHS tapes was far too interesting for me to ignore.
So here’s a little/casual dive into GCVHS, the bizarre Action Max console from 1987, and why I think there’s something super curious about people finding new uses for old technology. Sometimes I just like writing about things because they’re weird :)
My Atari used cassettes too. All things considered, I prefer NVMe drives and SSDs.
You can have cassette images on your NVMe and SSD drives. :D In an emulator they load basically instantly (if the emulator supports such functionality to load them quickly). In example C64 cassettes load basically in an instant, instead 20 minutes.
