Some powerful wrestling art, look at the cameos in the audience, can anyone tag them all? Not sure if I: Ryo Nakamura is the artist but guessing so? Looks like he did ActRaiser artwork too if I am right

"BREAKING: Discord is said to file confidentially for IPO, per Bloomberg." - oh, let's see if they finally want to hire product development people in Japan...nope...just an account exec and account manager to start to sell ads as expected.

Only 5000 of this Special Laserdisc Box was made for the animated movie Nemo's video release, a VHS collectors edition also is described. The artwork shown looks pretty awesome, not sure if it is small card sized, says "image board"...comes with quite a lot of stuff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_...

Going ahead and pushing out this other Mega Drive/Genesis video so I can focus on other things the next few days: ESWAT! Pretty slamming boss tracks in this one. often misunderstood that this was meant to be a sequel to the arcade game. Check out the prototype title screens youtu.be/ak9CLg8LS7g

A million modern games to play vs hearing that a new Quest 64 de-compilation dropped

There was a Dorama in Kichijoji up until 2018 but it looks like it shut down and got replaced by some sort of insurance consultation center...I didn't know it advertised having Famicom games back in the 90s, would have been a nice place to shop for good prices likely...

This high res Project Reality screenshot shows kind of how far vaporware this was to be shown to gamers in 1993...and also looks like some sort of Mario Grand Theft Auto city LOL. "Development of the N64 began in 1993 in collaboration with Silicon Graphics, initially codenamed Project Reality"

Anyone brave enough to take a ride on the Neo Geo blimp?

Just dropped: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker / stage music is captured with real hardware VA4 mod / remastered with modern mastering chain #megadrive #segagenesis #gamemusic #vgm youtu.be/5fMUCDqZH9Q

Was going to upload latest video before going to sleep but got waylaid by some unexpected duties, I just hope I am allowed to upload it at all (you will see the reason why when you see what it is...). The next two videos are Mega Drive/Genesis games...maybe will sneak in a X68000 video after that

Ok here is a mini thread dumping the photo packed pages covering Origins 90 held in Atlanta 1990...starting with High Powered American Cosplay en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins...

1990 New Years greeting from Game Arts is pretty cute

Otaku Club might have been a better name for BlueSky...join us, we got plenty of good vibes over here

The "Get Up" playlist on my phone usually has metal but it gave up and started serving me only 80s music, probably because that is almost all I have been listening to...its not even because it is nostalgic, there is a sweet spot there between the raw instrument 70s stuff and over produced 90s+ world

"Surely just opening Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and playing Closest to the Pin a few times will not make my PS5 hard crash" I thought optimistically just 5 or 10 mins before staring in disbelief at a black TV screen

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

I didn't do much research into the reason why yet but I was so confused to see this fully finished looking Sega Saturn 3D dungeon RPG "Castle of Monica" (モニカの城) was never released, advertising a voice actor packed special CD pre order bonus. segaretro.org/Monica_no_Sh...

Gamate sounds more like some sort of martial arts tournament to me than an obscure handheld

Legit a pretty awesome ad for this Tiger LCD version of Simon's Quest

Had to cut out this cute dragon art...not sure the best word for this art style but I like it

Bart Simpson hard repping magazines

Deleting that last post because I read even more shocking things about what is happening over there on the Hell Site that crosses many a line, I hope it is a big enough deal to receive government level attention already (please 2026…start cashing those karma checks)

I was surprised to see there are some magazines on Retromags that are not anywhere on Internet Archive...not sure the reason why (600dpi scans of Game Players in this example)

Somehow managed to squeeze out a video over the holidays, a surprisingly bombastic soccer soundtrack from my Super Famicom list of 320 games to do...J League Excite Stage 95 #gamemusic #vgm youtu.be/xxwiqbWT3as

The one guy Whelan in Slow Horses sure does a good job portraying sniveling politician

Not sure how many this would resonate with…but this 1982 Spandau Ballet song “Innocence and Science” kind of sounds similar to “Aqueous Transmission” by Incubus, the whole album is very experimental but that song stands out because it sounds almost belonging on a more modern album

The person who invented this is a bit of a genius

That feeling of losing so many people…and knowing that previous generation went through the same thing

Magazine scan nerds: you may hear the term crushed blacks, there is a particular magazine where the scans have amazing white and black for text but the screenshots are weirdly dark like this, if you isolate and color correct only the screenshot it magically improves...still too much pain to use RAWs

Wikipedia calls out this unreleased Atari Lynx game "The Guardians - Storm Over Doria" as being only 30% complete, who wants to find the source code and finish it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Could extract pretty high res screenshots of the unreleased Cu On Pa for N64 #n64

This game shop is basically in what you could call a Shenmue neighborhood in Yokosuka...lemme photo shop Ryo Hazuki shopping for some karate SFC games

What a set of giveaway items...Darkseed telephone card, Super SF II Championship 94 backpack, Zero4 Champ RR stickers

"Mr Mario is going to take him out first thing if he gets a chance on the next try..."

Kind of nice staying in Tokyo over the holidays because somehow it feels a bit like a ghost town - a lot of paper drivers on the road…saw three different Ferraris, the 60yo ossan dudes driving them proudly on maybe their one week off in the year (i look in the window to see if it’s a celeb or not)

Speaking of which, here is a Night Striker metal mug that I would duel someone for the right of ownership of

I have a folder just called "social" where I dropped magazine pages I don't want to delete because they have something interesting on it and it has somehow grown to 30GB...I don't want to be one of those accounts spamming random pages and ads without adding context/some basic research though

Sweaty gaming was held at regular SEGA TECHNO NIGHT events this one at Roppongi "Bar Isnt it?" that closed in 2005. The zine style article notes "since you can't hear any SFX there is a high amount of tension in the air as the Virtua Fighter 2 battles happening surrounded by extremely loud techno"

Your Amiga AMERICAN SOFTWARE INC needs could have been covered by Hands On Computer in Yokohama (Fujimigaoka, kind of a rural spot) - now seems to still have a PC repair shop in the same location next to a Family Mart... Top software is ATOMINO which has a powerful cover art

Best game ending sequences as voted by LOGiN users in mid 1994: 1. Eiyuu Densetsu III (the Falcom "Legend of Heroes" game) 2. Princess Maker 2 3. Dragon Knight 4 4. Daikoukai Jidai II (Uncharted Waters II) 5. Emerald Dragon

My summary of this article is that the universe is built by Housemarque graphics engineers www.quantamagazine.org/inside-the-p...

Konami Kukeiha Club

Was TEC a secret superpower behind Nintendo's success?

Similarly from 1991 recruitment ad for Quest/Bothtec that had just merged in 1990. They were about to release Magical Chase on PC Engine the month after this was printed, and then would dive into development on Ogre Battle after that.

Recruitment ad for Intelligent Systems (developers of Fire Emblem etc) from 1991...right after when they helped with development on SimCity for SFC. Specifies looking for staff for developing SFC and GB games. Oh and if you are over 25 years old: get outta here

Nice photo of early Japanese electronic / ambient musician Kousei Morimoto vgmdb.net/artist/65104

Yuzo Koshiro showing off the newly released ActRaiser Symphonic Suite in 1991

POV shopping for Japanese computer games in 1991

Look at this amazing Naoyuki Kato artwork from Wasurenu Honoo 忘れぬ炎, I have heard almost nothing about some of these late era PC-98 games and finding a bunch of them going through the later years of mags #pc98

You know inflation has been crazy when these numbers do not look as ridiculously high as they did back in the day
