- The UK Parliament held one of the most eloquent debates ever about video games on November 3rd. Not about violence, but about preservation, ownership, and culture. It’s a pleasure to hear lawmakers speak about games as art worth saving. #StopKillingGames #DigitalOwnership #UKParliamentDebate #SKG

- A dreamy blend of Irish folk and Celtic atmosphere. From one of the most beautiful video game soundtracks of the 2000s: the music of Braid by Jami Sieber, Shira Kammen, and Cheryl Ann Fulton. #VGM #Braid #Celtic #GameMusic #ForgottenMelodies
- From ZX Spectrum beeps to symphonic gothic soundscapes: The original Heavy on the Magick (1986) theme (linked in comments) reimagined as background music for my attempt at playing this one-of-a-kind adventure from another era. #GothicMusic #Symphonic #VGM #ZXSpectrum

- Games tied to servers are destroyed 70% of the time, with no end-of-life plan in 97% of cases. Planned obsolescence dressed up as “services.” #StopKillingGames #ConsumerRights #DigitalPreservation #GameIndustry #SKG #GamesMedia

- In this video, I experimented with expanding the original in-game artwork while keeping its authentic style. The untouched versions appear at 46:24 (original resolution: 103×128). The music, composed by Michiel van den Bos, is one of my all-time favorite fantasy soundtracks. #vgm #retrogaming
- Master of Orion (1993) laid the foundation for one of the greatest 4X strategy franchises of the early PC gaming era. The game ran in classic VGA 256-color mode at a native resolution of 320×200. #upscaling #lowresolutiongaming #OPL3 #RolandLAPC-I
- Master of Orion 2 (1996) will forever be one of my top favorite 4x games. I loved everything about it and especially the incredible soundtrack by Laura Barratt. I’ve been experimenting with upscaling the old Smacker video files. Original resolutions: 480x160 and 288x208

- Check out the classic 1993 Fantasy Empires soundtrack by Eric Heberling! I dug into the game files, extracted the original .XMI tracks, and recorded both the OPL3 and Roland SCC-1 versions. A hidden gem for fans of DOS game music, D&D, and retro strategy. #DOSGaming #VGM #OPL3 #RolandSCC1 #DnDMusic
