Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

Waixing throughput was massive in 1996: the chinese copyright office lists more than 50 titles released by Waixing that year!
Churning out that many games possibly came with disorganization. It was just faster to implement the splash screen everytime than align and design a reusable template.

shoutouts to how Waixing clearly recoded their alien intro logo from scratch every single time to the point of even fucking up the colors

Taiwanese bootlegs in the 80s and 90s often came with translated manuals or instructional inserts like this one for Shiten Myooh/Shadow Blasters/四天明王 on the Mega Drive:

It's cute the things people are saying. Mediocre but functional video games and even well regarded ones that just weren't for them. Me I finished Pokémon Jade (Special Pikachu Edition). A game where you have to use a cheat code to stop it crashing at the end of the first level

Waixing's "Boat Race", a hack of Eliminator Boat Duel, is probably the closest we'll ever get to seeing an "actual" VT03 game that utilizes the hardware properly and that's mainly only because it's based on a pre-existing impressive game lmao

Can you believe there are at least five documented revisions of Rad Racket II: Deluxe Tennis? We got various beta and nearly final builds due to hiccups from Both TXC and AVE!

Breaking news! 🔴
The MaxiVision 30-in-1 had a prior iteration, without AVE involvement! In mid 1991, MaxiVision International Inc. had contracted NTDEC to produce a compilation with NTDEC and Color Dreams titles!
AVE took over the project within a year and released the 15-in-1.
