I'm a retro game geek who loves Japanese video games especially. MSX computers and game preservation are my passions.

Meet AshGuine -- part human, part reptile. Created by CM Land's director, Tae-Young Lee, in collaboration with Japanese illustrator and modeler Kou Yokoyama. He started off as Panasonic's mascot for their FS-A1 (1986) and FS-A1mkII (1987) models of MSX2 computers.
Back in 2009-2012, when I was playing Ys Online: The Call of Solum on European, Japanese, and Taiwanese servers, I took 1000+ screenshots. I've now made these public:

Here's the final screenshot I took from Ys Online: The Call of Solum, when the last remaining Taiwanese server was shutdown. I miss you, game.

Heh, I wonder what games these title screens from Family Games II (CD-i, 1995) are referencing. 😄

Interesting language selection screen from the Captain Alphabet mini-game from Family Games I (CD-i, 1994):

I enjoyed The Girl from Gunma Kai on Steam so much that I had to get a physical copy of the game. I don't mind that if it's an older version of the game. A physical copy is a physical copy. (:

So, I've had these never-before-seen concept art and other things from Ys Online: The Call of Solum, an MMORPG that ran from 2007 to 2012, for over a decade now. Might as well upload and archive them online:

I love the Eggerland/Adventure of Lolo series. ♥️ If only HAL Laboratory would release a new entry in the series. Even an Eggerland/Lolo collection would be great.

This game is a greatly expanded version of "Lolo no Daibouken", released one year earlier. Not only does it have 94 more puzzles, but it also has extra cutscenes and Super Game Boy support.

This game was released in the West as 'Adventures of Lolo 3'. It has the same intro, map layout, boss fights, and ending as the Japanese release, but the puzzles themselves are different.

Just some screenshots of Lololo and Lalala from the 2001-2003 anime series, Hoshi no Kirby/Kirby: Right Bact at Ya!.

For those who doesn't know, Lolo and Lala from the Eggerland/Adventures of Lolo series and Lololo and Lalala from the Kirby series are technically different characters. Go figure.

For no reason, here's some images that I vectorized back in 2011, featuring Adol Christin, Mega Man, Pietro, and Pikkard.

This 40-page manual was sold separately. The manual that came with the packaged game is thinner with only 16 pages.

Eggerland is the third entry in the Eggerland/Adventures of Lolo series. It's the remake of Meikyuu Shinwa/Eggerland 2 (MSX, 1986). This game also got a 40-page manual, sold separately.
