Writes about obscure & forgotten anime/manga/games/media at The Land of Obscusion over on Blogspot. Hopeless fan of all things Masami Kurumada. Published (once) on ANN. Living contradiction. He/him... Who again?

Instead of crapping on YouTubers who want to get attention & make people annoyed by calling titles like Escaflowne or Tenchi Muyo! "obscure" or "forgotten", I say visit this here blog, which for ~15 years has focused on stuff that ACTUALLY IS "obscure" & "forgotten"!

If any of my mutuals could help promote this over the next two weeks, I'd be immensely grateful. I would love a wide swath of gaming types and perhaps avoid a Nintendo-focused Top 10. Thank you so much!
Almost a year ago, I started this crazy project. And now, it's finally time to vote on "The Greatest Game of All Time!" 501 entries across all of gaming. Choose your Top 10 and let's see what ends up as the greatest! Voting will remain open until the end of 11/23! forms.gle/JLjvxFZYUwSa...

I celebrate 100 Obscusion B-Side/List pieces by going over the short existence of Fresh Games, Eidos Interactive's attempt at a boutique label that was to many years too soon.
From Mister Mosquito to Mad Maestro! to Legaia 2: Duel Saga to Swingerz Golf to R-Type Final... it's all here!

Obscusion B-Side #100!!!
The Short (But Memorable) Life of Fresh Games
For this milestone edition of Obscusion B-Side I take a look back at the label Eidos created for "Quirky" or "Odd" games in 2002... which Eidos then pretty much killed later that same year, minus one "Final" game in 2004.

Just wildly coincidental timing that I was able to put out the 100th Obscusion B-Side/List in the same month as what will be my 300th "traditional" review (Galactic Patrol Lensman), and both are literally the last two things I put out before the blog hits its 15th Anniversary three weeks from today.

I keep people saying Lupin: Fuma Conspiracy, but I feel like simply re-releasing that wouldn't be quite "big big"
Nah, it's got to finally be a new release for Lupin: Green vs. Red, now with a dub that unites as many English voices of Lupin as possible to voice all of the various Lupins seen in it!

This is a big big one that means a lot to us, and to a lot of you.
We also have an unhelpful clue for this one in the next post...

It's a well known fact that video games peaked 30 years ago with a Space Invaders sequel where Ultraman Ace uses the crosses of Planet Golgotha as cover while shooting down Kaiju but it's nice that everyone keeps trying anyway
