F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"

Just updated the site! This update is all about Splatterworld, of course. And I'm putting out a request for help with expanding the Splatterworld section of the site (details in the update). splatterhouse.kontek.net/new.html

I finished porting my Klonoa collection stuff from weebly to neocities. The other pages are still under construction. mushroom32x.neocities.org/joilantfunpa...

Holy shit. @shmuplations.bsky.social translated a massive thread of old tweets from Hideo Yoshizawa that goes deep into the NES Ninja Gaiden's development, including finally confirming the Castlevania influence shmuplations.com/ninjagaiden/

A prototype build of the unreleased Famicom RPG "Splatterworld" has been found. It was posted by an anonymous user on 4chan and appears to be a later build compared to the then-only known footage of the game. I'm curious to see if there will be efforts to fan translate this into English.

As it’s now officially #karnovember, here’s my contribution: instruction manual scans for the Neo Geo CD version of Fighter’s History Dynamite/Karnov’s Revenge -in Japanese and English! rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/NG/MS/FHD... rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/NG/MS/KRc...

It's been one year since #MONOKURO was released. Thank you for playing~ Next time, let's fly away on wings of a different kind.☁️

And we're back to Colors and done with the full chapters for Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog (for now hopefully)! Scans by @randomhoohaas.bsky.social (Where to in thread)

Episode 22 of Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog done! Scans by @randomhoohaas.bsky.social BIG'S HERE! YAY! WOOH! W- oh (Where to in thread)

The making of Phantasy Star, or how a female duo managed to break the mould and go beyond. An opportunity to learn a little about Chieko Aoki, one of the first female directors in the Japanese video game industry. vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama5/ dispo en VF vgdensetsu.net/riekokodamav...

Continuing Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog with the Chronicle arc! Poor Knux... Anyway, all scans left will be by @randomhoohaas.bsky.social only with these comics left. (Where to in thread)

New on Neo Geo Wubba Wubba: a list of differences with some prototype Samurai Shodown II footage. Nothing too major, but it seems Nicotine's name was decided late on. rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/NG/SSSp/1...

3 and a half years of isopod rolling down big hills! Isopod is finally coming out tomorrow! store.steampowered.com/app/2053910/...

I truly love discovering how some very culturally American things become popular elsewhere in the world, and how and why people relate to them

Ok we have liftoff! (Still have to tweak the controls a lot, and wait for more parts before putting it together properly)

In my spare time, I am working on a mapmaking tool #dnd

Part 3 of Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog 's Black Knight arc! This should be all the scans from @randomhoohaas.bsky.social too! Cover scan by @retromags.com (Where to in thread)

October is upon us, so the Treehouse of Horror opens up again. Let's look at "Hell Toupee" of Season 10, the twisted tale of a dystopian justice system where smoking violations will get you executed live on Fox for public entertainment. Also a couple of supernatural killings occur in the aftermath.

Continuing the Black Knight Arc of Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog NGL I really like how Merlina is drawn in this. Kinda reminds of how Elise's proportions were changed for that one drawing with Silver. Scans by @randomhoohaas.bsky.social & @retromags.com (Where to in thread)

Introducing @keitaiarchive.bsky.social, a website for Japanese feature phone game preservation resources. As keitai game preservation grows, we want our tools and preserved abandonware media to be as accessible as possible. Read on for more information! (1/6)

Some useless Earnest Evans trilogy trivia: years ago, I found some unused building sprites in El Viento. They get loaded during the start of the fourth level, but are never seen. Turns out if you die, then use a continue, it'll make the building sprites appear when the level restarts.

Gonna continue the Dengeki #SonictheHedgehog train with the Black Knight! Episode 09 starts this arc off! Scans by: @randomhoohaas.bsky.social & @retromags.com (Where to in thread)

It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

My September Simpsons review is up. This month's specimen is "The Canine Mutiny" of Season 8, in which Bart's dreams of boat ownership and event attendance are threatened by an unpaid credit card bill. Justice for Mr Mitchell; Laddie is a very bad dog.

Dengeki Sonic again! Yeah, forgot about the one Colors chapter (still need to get to the Black Knight ones). Since I did two full Super Robot Wars volumes, decided to do something small. Scans by @randomhoohaas.bsky.social & @retromags.com (Where to in thread)

I will always give this ad a share when it shows up. Before watching it: imagine being an Irish kid, who has barely watched any anime. You switch on TV one evening, and *this* shows up on your TV. It blows your goddamned mind, and is seared into it forever. The Celtic Tiger was a strange time.

Today's 3D scanned keshi is God Bomber, from the unreleased (!) Virtual Boy game Virtual Bomberman! A keshi figure for a game that never came out is pretty unusual, isn't it? In fact, I think this is the only one I've ever encountered! Download the scan here: archive.org/details/kesh...

Yknow everyone dumps on the Land of Sura arc and everything but no one ever talks about the Jetski arc of FOTNS

I really enjoy Henrique's videos and I'm looking forward to digging into this one after work. I just spent a few weeks with Snatcher, and I've never played Policenauts, so this is super timely. Check it out—Spanish audio, English subs, and great perspectives and trains of thought.

Looking for recommendations of places to get (non A.I.) stock footage, or people I can commission to record something to use as stock! I'm looking for clips of wolves, specifically, so they'd have to be like, legit nature photographers. I'm not sending randoms into the woods.

I've got a pretty bananas idea for an Altered Beast sequel if Sega wants to hear me out uwu. Or, like, a fangame/fic I suppose.

I love this Adventure of Link #zelda strategy guide so much! It's kind of the epitome of 80's era enemy art & it hasn't been online before either! I had to scan both copies bc the printing is misaligned in different sections of each. Those are uploading at 2400pdi now: archive.org/details/guid...

Bomberman 64 battle mode online remake - work in progress

Do itttt! It's under $5, If you like 5th/6th gen era titles like Pac-Man World, The 3D Bomberman games, 3D Frogger or even something modern like Super Mario 3D world you should absolutely give this a go, it was such a a hidden gem in 2024.

The original i-mode release of #Bomberman 3D was preserved by @yuvi.app! Released in 2004, the game has fully 3D stages with multiple elevations. Its EZweb, Yahoo Keitai, and international J2ME releases have also been preserved to various extents.

As the summer draws to a close, my TAC retrospective resumes. This time we're looking at "Bush Telegraph", which has one of TAC's nastiest surprises - and one of their most distressing casualties.

After 22 years, Typepad is shutting down with one month's notice. Go back up your old blogs, old-school blogger friends. everything.typepad.com/blog/2025/08...

Here's my big passion project to round out the summer. You know that Penny Kid from "Final Destination Bloodlines"? I'm going to fight in his corner a bit, because he's a fabulous little Dickens and the film's MVP.🪙🗼🎹

to get a little personal, one of the reasons i'm glad i'm no longer in the games industry is that i found it difficult to not take statements like "the dev team doesn't care" or "they clearly actually hate this game" personally nobody loves this game more than we do. nobody cared more than us.

I'm finally ready to share my concerns regarding the #Bomberman series in the form of this video essay I've quietly been working on since January. When you really care about something, some times you must take action, I appreciate the time of all who may check it out! youtu.be/S1xMwFb_jGg?...

The GRANDMOTHER of all Neo Geo manual scans! Fatal Fury Special is now available in English: rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/NG/MS/FFS...

"Ganbare Goemon World", a toy set containing minifigures of the characters and structures, manufactured by Bandai.

And now my Harada interview is up! We talked about Season 2 woes and online negativity, the possibility of bringing back old games, and how he feels seeing Virtua Fighter come back: www.gamespot.com/articles/tek...

Is Donkey Kong Bananza's DK and young Pauline story Nintendo's take on the "sad dad" genre of semi-recent years, like The Last of Us, Dad of War, and Sonic Frontiers? Probably a coincidence but kinda funny.

this week @endlessmode.bsky.social - I dug thru the storied history of one-time PC Engine mascot Bonk! plus, I talked to @jstatz.bsky.social on the cancelled 2011 reboot. I've loved this series for a long time, and learned so much working on this piece 🍖 🦖
