Qui sont ces yōkai traversant l'écran durant le supermove d'Akari Ichijō dans The Last Blade 1 et 2 ? Un texte fantôme enfin mis en ligne avec les bonnes photos. www.lafautealamanette.org/post/Are-you...

Cet article paraît alors que je viens de perdre le projet que je gérais et traduisais en français quotidiennement depuis 8 ans, l'un des jeux les plus joués au monde au passage. Pour réduire les coûts (espère-t-il), l'éditeur passe à l'IA avec post-édition, que mes collègues et moi refusons.

Des personnes ont fait des remarques concernant le core FPGA NES, comparé en direct à leurs anciennes NES ou Famicom d'origine (ou encore modifiées HiDef NES). Ces personnes ont oublié de prendre en compte que les consoles se mettent à varier dans le temps, avec l'âge des composants. (1/2)

Atsuko Sugisaki / 杉崎厚子, one of the very first known women in the Japanese video game industry. She joined Namco in 1980, illustrated several of its games and designed some of the characters from Dig Dug. She passed away in the early 2020s. vgdensetsu.net/atsukosugisa...

Currently wondering whether the main character in Wonder Boy 1 (1986) was inspired by the 1983 movie ‘Yor, the hunter from the future’.

Please share my post. I publish on old games fanzines and am currently researching the history of moving arcade cabinets. Tell me about EXIDY's 'Rolling Star Fire (1979)' and 'Vertigo (1985)'.
