Hello there!

My name is Adam, and I’m a design leader, passionate teacher, music & technology hacker, media connoisseur, obsessive autodidact, inclusivity scholar, recovering hyperbolic.

I’ve been discreetly developing an eclectic array of professional-quality media content for the Internet for decades. Whenever possible, I make sure that everything I produce is available for free, no strings attached. Much of the work I do is anonymous, or under a pseudonym. If you ever see anything with the tag “-AC” or my handle “AdamCatalyst” (or in some case, my real name) that’s me and my work. For copyright reasons, I cannot offer a centralized repository of all this work product, but I can offer some highlights here.

AccessAbility 2: A Practical Handbook on Accessible Graphic Design. I lead the development of the industry standard textbook for Accessible Design in Canada. It’s has been written and designed to be as accessible as possible, and equally useful for the average person, as well as design professionals. And of course, the digital version is completely free. https://www.rgd.ca/resources/accessibility/access

NHL ’94: 2022 Edition by Adam Catalyst. I most recently released a top-to bottom updating and remastering of NHL 94 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. It is available as a ROM patch at: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6929/

Hacking & Mod Technical Documents. I have produced technical documents for hacking and modifying various media technologies, as well as accurate verified translations of key technical documents.

Video Game Box-Art Restoration. I have produced countless restorations of classic video game box art that have ben lost to time, for the NES, SMD, NES, N64, GC, Wii, and more. If you have ever used services such as https://www.gametdb.com, or accessed the cover art collections available at https://gbatemp.net, you have likely encountered my work.

…and so much more. As long as I have the time I will continue to create professional-quality media that fills gaps in the expressed needs and desires of fellow netizens. If you wanted to buy me a coffee or two, you’ll also be buying me more time to produce this work for others to enjoy.

cheers,

-Adam 

p.s. Right now there are no rewards, since accessing me and my stuff is trivially easy. If I ever gain more than a fringe cult following, I will offer some tiers. And I’d love to hear your suggestions!
