We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

The music for Gigalopolis Zone in 'Sonic Chaos' is different between Master System and Game Gear. Turns out, the Master System version uses the song "Oh Yes!1 (SONG 0)", which is a demo tune from the KORG M1 synthesizer. Here's a comparison of the two.

Why in 2025 can I not think of another single screen shmup that's a bit like Donkey Kong 3 on crack?
That game was pretty sick. Surely someone's made something a bit like this already & I just don't know about it? If not, someone else is putting that idea into practice here💪

We've been thrilled to bring a number of Crystal Dynamics games to Evercade both last year and this year, and several of them are enjoying anniversaries today. Give a big happy birthday to Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (1996), Tomb Raider II (1997) and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999)!

Can't wait to see where the Tiger Electronics game(dot)com port of Symphony of the Night lands. I am guessing not at the bottom!
Hey! Happy Halloween! A few years ago I ranked every single Castlevania game as a Patreon article, and I’m making it free to read for 24 hours to celebrate the holiday. It’s missing a couple games now, but I’ll be updating it soon. Subscribe for more writings!
