The quest to find every NES game ever made
They were on the road towards Oklahoma, six hours out, when the van began to sway. For filmmaker Robert McCallum and his friend Jay Bartlett, who had spent the past 26 days chasing obscure vintage video games across North America, making a schoolboy mistake and running out of fuel on the highway was just the logical next step of a madcap journey that had left them as sleep-deprived as it had exhilarated.

Kick had been trying to license the rights for I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream—not Ellison’s famous short story from 1967, but the largely overlooked PC game from 1995.

The Kick Off 2 World Cup: Competitive e-sports with a 25-year-old Amiga game
Amidst rows of battered tables and chairs, some which look as though they've survived a few rough terms at a British state school, the world's best Kick Off 2 players are preparing to compete. The venue—nestled in the heart of Dublin and a stone's throw from the infamous Temple Bar district—is the former Williams and Woods chocolate factory, a grubby graffiti-covered building that's home to the city's burgeoning creative community.

How a new emulator generates 3D scenes from 2D NES games
The world of NES emulation hasn't been all that exciting since the late '90s, when NESticle provided "good enough" emulation accuracy and stability for any NES game out there (though there has been a lot of subsequent work to get that final bit of true emulation accuracy).
