TextAdventure is a new blog with the sole purpose of bringing you nothing but typography from videogames. A lot of videogames have used different styles of typography since the original Nintendo days and TextAdventure aims to record all of the best and unique typography out there.
The blog is helmed by the two man team of .tiff and Brilliam, two names most Dtoiders should recognize. The approach is very minimalistic in that only a picture of the game's title is posted, making TextAdventure a very simple site to keep up with on your daily blog browsing run.
Also, I'm not sure why, but seeing the Ultra logo again warms up my retro heart so much.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

One title I immediately noticed right away: The Adventures of Willy Beamish.
Please, someone else out there has to have played this Godly original adventure game.
This is actually a brilliant idea. And I love the way they executed it, with the classic OS theme. :)
A new window opens showing the new website. There are multiple awesome pictures and links.

I'm sorry, I don't recognize the word "monitor"
Reginald, it's tough to actually put typeface information as most of these pieces were made one-of-a-kind by a graphic designer who breated their own font, or used a typeface and modified it so much that it's not really traceable. We also considered cropping images, but in the end, it just made more sense to leave it as it is, as part of the typographical genius sometimes is the way it's placed against the art.
TIFF!
I know those people!
