New on the Secret Area: "Halo with chips" has been found.

A dumb back of the box quote from Maxim magazine promoting a poker video game had become a small meme. I wanted to find out where it came from.

Likes, shares and comments are really appreciated. https://asecretarea.com/2025/02/21/halo-with-chips-found/

Imagine me rolling up to someone going "hey, you wanna see my old Panasonic VHS-C camcorder?"

"I have these VHS copies of a James Bond movie, some delightfully faded from constant watching, wanna see?"

"You like old Windows XP-era software? I got that, *and* a burned WinXP CD with the FCKGW CD key!"

The downside of coming from a packrat family is realizing how much excess stuff we have

The upside is I now have stuff that I could share to folks that might find it neat, like fountain pens, or old printers

New on the Secret Area: I decide to do some digital exploring to discover a Jeopardy fan game based on Star Wars that someone submitted to Mobygames, and whether or not I can find it 27 years later.

Another digital dive into the weirder, forgotten side of computer games.

Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

it's fun to have something to tinker with

A few days ago, I was reminded by a friend about Star Wars Jeopardy, a fanmade trivia game by a Star Wars fan.

I'd been trying to find it online, to no avail.

Then I stumbled upon a version of the creator's site through the Wayback Machine, which was a Star Wars fan site. And the game was there to download!

Anyway it's now on the Internet Archive for everyone to enjoy: https://archive.org/details/starwarsjeopardy

I like alternate versions of films, probably as much as I like watching the originals

Ted Turner's colorization of old movies, Giorgio Moroder rescoring Fritz Lang's Metropolis, hell even those TV edits of Casino and Die Hard 2 where they have to censor so many swears it's comical

It's amazing
