A copy of the softcover book From Pixels to Prose in a plastic sleeve, with a free bookmark from Retro Game Books. The book cover features several JRPG characters like the Dragon Quest hero, Secret of Mana characters, and Final Fantasy heroes listening to Mega Man orate from a stump by a campfire. The bookmark has a few characters like Link, Cammy, Mega Man, and Charizard

This years @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social is done!

One of my favorites due to the publishing power partners of @retrogamebooks.com, @bossfightbooks.com, and @pixelsandpolygons.net.

Didn’t get to walk around a ton, but it was super fun!

Bonus thanks to my wife for all the support all weekend!

Got my cooy of this—such a gorgeous book. Great job @retrogamebooks.com .

I had completely forgotten what I’d written for this Zelda 2 blurb, hahah

 Photo of a big 2-page spread of the world map from Zelda 2. A quote from me is highlighted:

“Adventure of Link eschewed the intimacy of the first Zelda's Hyrule in favor of an iconic, zoomed-out map. In doing so it gave us the biggest Hyrule in the series, a title it held for 30 years. Zooming out and seeing how the entire world from the first game could fit in a small corner of this one fired the imagination.
This was our first glimpse of Hyrule as a realm, one with castles, towns, a history, and a future. The first Hyrule with people to save. A Hyrule with stories to tell. A more sophisticated Hyrule where you had vanquished evil but now had to grow into the people's hero. Showing that Hyrule was a vibrant place with real stakes was Adventure of Link's enduring gift to the series."Another photo of a blurb by me, this time sbout Zelda 1. It’s not all visible though, so I canmt write the text here. 

Below the blurb is a blank and white drawing of the Zelda 1 map.Another image of the Zelda 1 map, drawn in a different style. Above are scans from a Japanese guide. A 2-page spread of panels from a Zelda 2 manga.
