Wow! There is so much unsourced information, and a lot of misinformation about Hudson and NEC's follow up to the PC Engine, the PC-FX. But, what if you did original research, in Japanese, what story would you uncover about this fated machine - this video is what! #retrogaming #pcfx #pcengine

I know I posted this cleaned image before but I just re-cleaned it from my own scans. More editing than it looks. Anyway, worth it, because it's incredibly epic. #Zelda Link to the Past, Junichiro Saito, Shogaku Ichinensei Magazine, Sept. 1992

Alright everyone! Here is the ever beautiful #Zelda Link to the Past work by Junichiro Saito / 斎藤純一郎 in the May 1992 issue of Shogaku Ichinensei. I scanned the issues in order of ease- so this is Chapter 2 archive.org/details/zine...

The cleaned art is at 2400dpi in its own download zip.

Like some episodes of the Gradius and Rockman series, Star Parodier on PCE CD was the subject of a design contest for fans. Organized by the magazine Marukatsu PCE and Hudson Soft in 1990, 1857 applicants submitted their ideas.

I've wanted to break this down for a bit: Wrote about a big quirk in how Game Awards is structured that makes it tough for small games to compete at a top level. Localization matters! And it creates a tough battle for the Blue Princes and 1000xResists of the world. www.polygon.com/blue-prince-...
In the GOTY race, localization really matters — which is bad news for Blue Prince

Very saddened to hear Kazuki Motoyama recently passed away. He was the man behind Kodansha’s Super Mario manga that covered a lot of Mario’s adventures, including spinoff games. I’m hoping the series gets a reprint one day.

Britain in the mid-1930s does not seem like a time or place of leisure innovation with the circumstances of war in Europe, yet it proved a fertile ground for the evolution of #arcade games.

Today we'll look at one of the most fascinating games from this period: Spotlight Golf!
