I recently stumbled upon a couple sites where screenshots (often animated) from old video games are posted regularly. Many of these are non-English games that I have never heard of, and I think they are fun to look through.

Here are a few examples:

Me, too. On an unrelated note, I was just recently listening to Zebra Cassettes.

A few more:

oh cool! I just recorded my first new song in about two years, so there will hopefully be a bunch of new zebra cassettes out in the next few months

My first thought was that this was some sort of digital venus fly trap, designed to lure SB posters so as to steal their souls or sign them up for a subscription or something.

And yet I clicked anyway.

Oh wow, thes are really awesome!

New avatar town for me as well!

Now we really need bigger avatar display options.

Is Loki on here yet? His blog I think lunatic obscurity or some such has lots of stuff on games I’ve never heard of. Different era from most stuff itt but still cool IMO.

Real cool.

Sorry for the not-screenshot-ful post but http://easternmind.tumblr.com/archive has features on Osamu Sato’s pre and post-LSD games/phone apps, along with other JP obscure stuff, but maybe nothing pre-90s.

Some nice content here. I hadn’t realized that XBOX 360 had strange little indie games.

That one stood out to me because when I was very young I had a dream that there was a giant stone face in my neighborhood. I was afraid that at any moment it might turn to face me.
