My Shinobi hot take is that most fans ignore the PS2 game which, while being very arcade-y, was still going into a character action game direction. There have been so many takes on the IP, but people only cling to their favorite one as the correct one. They're all good in their own way.

@clydemandelin.bsky.social I have a request to examine a translation, please -- the PC-98 version of Space Quest IV: Roger & The Time Rippers. The original game was known for often being sarcastic and rude to the player, so I'd love to know how they handled that, if at all. Thanks!

Sonic 1 and 2 for SEGA Master System, but if they had gotten that Crap Master System Box Art treatment (please enjoy both "somewhat crap" and "really crap" versions).

Happy 8-Bit Day (8/8)! ...Which isn't a thing but my friends and I think it ought to be.

Still one of the best game installers. <3 Does some lovely worldbuilding and mood-setting for the air adventures ahead with its 1930s/40s-ey radio play.

(Note: This kind of installer was rare even then)

I love unofficial DOS game art so much.

I really need to document these somewhere…

This may be of interest to Disney TV animation fans - rescued from an ancient cassette tape found deep within my archives, here's a 1988 demo for an unused RESCUE RANGERS theme song… (More to come!)

So there's this game right and when you press the button right you're just like, you're now a beast right? There's only like 3 games that do this you understand? What are you doing? Why doesn't your game have a button and then you're a beast are you stupid?

Big day for me -- I bought my first non-digital RPG books. Truth be told, I'm really, really not a fan of 5e, so I feel kinda bad about picking up something based on it. Thus the Pathfinder adventure to balance it out. I'm probably just gonna skim these and keep them on the shelf, but still!

@davidxnewton.bsky.social Hi there! Could I get a hold of you on Discord about a podcast, if you'd be interested? Bluesky still doesn't have DMs, sadly, so I gotta ask here. Thanks in advance!
