I'd always assumed Lode Runner IV's hidden message was them dabbing on their hardcore fans, but looks like it may have been aimed at Mr. Heli's planner (who playtested this game, and would clear the stages so easily that they had to keep getting redesigned as a result)

Morio Kishimoto, director of Team Sonic, was an NMK alumni. He worked on a lot of shmups there, including Gunnail, Macross, Rapid Hero, and Desert War. Desert War was NMK's last video game, and sometime after Kishimoto went to Sammy. Guess who Sammy merged with years later?

Ever wondered what that untranslated Siddham mantra says at the end of Samurai Shodown II when you defeat Mizuki?

Clenched the 2 loop clear on Cotton Reboot High Tension! Fantastic game, might even be top 3 in the whole series. Lets see if we can't crack 25 billion before the Marion DLC drops

Was trying to find a tweet showing the comparisons between the old DVD and BDs for Serial Experiments Lain, and I found some funny storytelling

Akira Shoji was the NMK planner behind several arcade STGs of theirs, including Hacha Mecha Fighter & the P-47 series. You'd never know this, as (at his own behest) he was uncredited on nearly everything he touched. He later assumed the alias "Saburo Yotsuya", designing RPGs such as Dungeon Maker.
