This is the kind of prototype people who don’t know anything about prototypes assume every prototype is like! And that’s saying something. Prototype prototype.

This Punch-Out!! Prototype is Unlike Anything We've Seen Before YouTube video by The Video Game History Foundation

We handle a lot of NES prototypes around here, so trust us when we say this one is weird. Join VGHF Founder Frank Cifaldi for a look at this prototype version of Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Entertainment System: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T5A...

Holy Shit, it's actually happening. This week's Arcade Archives release is Taito's previously thought to be lost game Benjo de GO!

It was previewed in 1997 but the sole PCB was thought to have been destroyed in an earthquake but one has apparently survived!!

An absolutely unbelievable situation!!

Awesome collection! Those Atari tapes are hard to find!

Thank you! The archive is growing all the time thanks to our generous community. Eventually everything will be properly catalogued on our archive site, and visitors will be able to request screenings of anything in our archive on our livestream! Otherwise the stream plays everything on loop 24/7!

Here’s a small portion of the tapes we have in queue for proper archival! Thanks to @mictlantecuhtle.bsky.social for suggesting we take a photo!

We're all set up for #PAXEast! Swing by our booth to learn about video game preservation, play some unavailable retro games like Duck Hunt or modern titles from our indie partners, get a #GameBoyCamera selfie photo, or fresh new Hit Save merchandise! This year we've got magnets, pins, and lanyards!

We’re getting set up for #PAXEast! Come visit us in booth 10028!
