We're going to be playing a few very influential shooting games from the '80s tonight, which I SHOULD be able to one credit clear? Stop on by! www.twitch.tv/onemillionpo... www.youtube.com/@OneMillionP...

Going live with some more 80s beat 'em up history and 1CC attempts! We'll be looking at more Japanese game magazines too! www.twitch.tv/onemillionpo... www.youtube.com/@OneMillionP...

And as a bonus, I linked to an article translated some time ago from Oh! MZ by @onemillionpower.com for me about the Star Trek game's history in Japan to that point! www.atariarchive.org/article-the-...

YAMAOH is playing the drums! A classic track from the GRADIUS series. Aircraft Carrier This track has been used in nearly every numbered title and is truly emblematic of the series.

A rare Saturday stream to finish up the new Rushing Beat game that just released this week! www.twitch.tv/onemillionpo... www.youtube.com/@OneMillionP...

We're going live again to check the first Rushing Beat game in 32 YEARS! Rushing Beat X! www.twitch.tv/onemillionpo... www.youtube.com/@OneMillionP...

Baby's first stream is about to begin 😅 Starting things off with some '80s beat 'em up history and 1CC attempts! www.twitch.tv/onemillionpo... www.youtube.com/@OneMillionP...

Starting Tuesday March 17th at 7 PM CT, I'll be (attempting) live streaming nearly every Tuesday and Thursday! We're coming up on the channel's second anniversary, so it seems like the right time to start!

This is only something that a true shooting game fan would think!

Live on the free feed: @feitclub.bsky.social @atariarchive.org @johnlearned.bsky.social & @onemillionpower.com talk crush counters, season passes, and the lugubrious launch of Street Fighter V retronauts.com/article/2488...

My 9 are kind of all over the place, but that's because my tastes are all over the place! And I guess only one of these games is newer than the 90s! 😅 #My9Games

They weren't ACTUALLY at the same time, but we still should have done a dueling banjos thing!

I'm finally trying to learn the Final Fight 1CC (with Cody for now) I have a long way to go, but even just learning how to throw loop Sodom is so incredibly satisfying!

The release of this game doesn't actually feel all that long ago to me (even though it was), so it was fun to look back at a game that...well just listen to the episode! 😁

The shooting game known as SALAMANDER(沙羅曼蛇)in Japan was titled LIFE FORCE outside Japan. Later, a title released domestically in Japan that was an arrangement of SALAMANDER was also called LIFE FORCE. It's confusing, isn't it? YAMAOH plays drums on the popular track Thunderbolt from that game.

There's a new Scrolling Down the Belt for February! And in drawing VERY near to the end of 1991, we end up with the unlikely combination of Pu-Li-Ru-La and Golden Axe II! They don't have much in common, but one of them is trippy but simplistic, the other is just...more? youtu.be/4lYMtzdEYi8

With all the Evo shit, it just makes me really glad that Chicago has two REALLY strong tournament events that I love going to every year!

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

Always great to talk about the R360 and to be on a Retronauts episode with maybe some of the best art! 🤣

After a stretch of unplanned downtime, the Retronauts website is back up! Here's a thread of recent free episodes you might have missed, starting with @feitclub.bsky.social @stuartgipp.bsky.social & @onemillionpower.com covering Resident Evil 2 (1998 & 2019) retronauts.com/article/2479...

Hey everyone One of our fans living in San Francisco contacted us while traveling in Japan, saying they wanted our CD. I handed it over today. It's awesome that our music is reaching people across the ocean! YAMAOH gonna express it on the drums! The song is from SEGA's classic Space Harrier

On February 17th, Luna Sea's drummer Shinya passed away due to colorectal cancer at only 56 years old. I didn't get the chance to see them live, but Shinya and Luna Sea have played a big part in my own musical life, along with that of so many others. Rest in peace. www.lunasea.jp/en/news_en/L...

One of the most fun and interesting things that I've ever worked on translating! Give it a look if you're interested in game history and didn't last year!

サザンのTSUNAMI歌ってるんだ! 😂

When I heard that kyo-ji was the one who recorded the Final Fight gameplay in Hi Score Girl, I was very surprised! But going back and watching his 1CC on Mikado's channel, it made sense! kyo-jiさんが『ハイスコアガール』で『ファイナルファイト』のプレイ映像を担当していたと聞いたときは、本当に驚きました！でも、ミカドのチャンネルで彼のワンコインクリア動画をあらためて見返してみると、すごく納得しました！

After literally years of half-assing my Pop'n Music practice and not actually progressing, I finally pulled the trigger on a USB Pop'n controller and a Lively subscription! I figure even if I can regularly do a bit each day I should actually be able to move further than the early 20s!

かっこよすぎ！

as announced via their sns acct: Shutaro Iida ("Curry The Kid"), director of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night & a key figure on Castlevania's Aria of Sorrow, the DS trilogy & Harmony of Despair, among other games, succumbed to pancreatic cancer on February 10 R.I.P.

Hearing about how Castlevania's music inspired musicians like Fantom iris was one of the highlights of making this video! Thank you for being in it! 『悪魔城ドラキュラ』の音楽がFantom Irisのようなミュージシャンに影響を与えたというお話を聞けたことは、この動画を制作するうえでの大きなハイライトの一つでした！ご出演いただき、本当にありがとうございました！

How can you not love a rock band that does songs from Salamander?!

Fantom Iris's drummer YAMAOH will be playing the drums! The track is the legendary piece from The Legend of Zelda, the 'Overworld' theme heard in the fields. Have a lovely day, everyone! #TheLegendOfZelda　#Zelda

I take full credit for the announcement of a new Castlevania game! youtu.be/I5GcsQtf5cI

RayForce (aka Layer Section aka Galactic Attack aka Gunlock) is one of my favorite games of all time, and also a cautionary tale about ceding decision making to AI.

Yamaoh from Fantom Iris will be playing the drums. The song is the classic "VAMPIRE KILLER" from Castlevania. Enjoy, everyone!

Anyone who loves video game music should be following Fantom Iris! They're amazing musicians who not only do amazing covers of the game music that you love, but also their only original songs! They were kind enough to compose the theme song for my YouTube channel as well!

Had an amazing time at Frosty Faustings as always again this year! Mystery was especially nuts since I didn't think I'd be playing competitive Metal Slug 3, Fight Club against Abraham Lincoln, or Toobin'! At least they gave me Samsho 3! 🤣

I'm sorry! 😭 But also, I am the fattest man on Metal Slug 3 Fat Island! 😂

As usual, I'll be at Frosty Faustings this weekend helping run the @enerjax.bsky.social table with copies of Gameplay Harmonies for sale! Though not many...MagFest wiped most of them out! I'll also be frantically trying to manage all the tournaments I entered, so say hi if you see me!

I feel it!

It's great that Kenny Omega is doing the mocap for Alex in SF6 and all, but people are really burying the lead that JAM Project is doing his theme song!

Not bad for going in cold...and I do mean cold because it's like 8 degrees today!

Being in Chicago in January is only mildly preferable to death, let's give this to em
