Apparently this game was briefly considered lost, but the author found some old floppies in 2017, they were resuscitated by a curator at the Strong National Museum of Play, and now you can play it online — museums rock.

Hironobu Sakaguchi, recently, on his X account, has been posting an absolute treasure trove of design docs and promotional materials from early games. These are early design docs from Final Fantasy 3.

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

Great thread, especially for those interested in the ebbs and flows of manga popularity over the years (a subject that is certainly not immune to all manner of internet rumor)
I absolute love using @jajanken.bsky.social's site, which collates every issue of Jump by both individual issue & collective series, so I though "I wonder how some of these charts would look if various story arcs were listed?"... so I did just that, as a test!

Here's how Slam Dunk works out.

Linda explainer!
-Linda Linda Linda is a 2005 movie about a group of girls covering songs by punk band The Blue Hearts.
-Linda³ is an RPG for the PC Engine CD about attempting to recreate Noah's Ark on the planet of Neo Kenya.

Hope this clears things up!
