- The 3D NES Project
  Coverage of the 3D NES project by Ars Technica. Uses graphics algorithms to generate 3D scenes from NES games in real time.
- SNES Code Injection - Flappy Bird in Super Mario World
  Exploiting a series of glitches, Seth Bling managed to inject 65c816 assembly code into memory on an unmodded SNES running Super Mario World. Very cool, and should be of interest to low-level programmers.

- How to Make Insane, Procedural Platformer Levels
  An article on Gamasutra that goes over the theory of programmatically creating randomly-generated content for games.

- Survival Horror game using Oculus and Cyberith Virtualizer
  This YouTube video shows a demo for a horror-based game that aims to completely immerse the player. Very interesting!
- Turn an Xbox One into a Dev Kit
  Using the console as a dev kit may be very appealing to smaller indie developers.

- Video Game Physics Tutorial
  A highly informative (and fairly extensive) 3-part article series on physics implementations.
- Boss Design and Structure
  A theoretical article on boss battle design. Note that there are six pages (the layout can make that easy to overlook.)
