Phantasy Star IV (The End of the Millenium), what a masterpiece from Mega Drive (Sega Genesis). I think it's on my top retro JRPGs, together with Final Fantasy 4 and Chrono Trigger and phantasy star 1

Quality to hear the SMS2 looking good. I never had one back in the day instead on the SMS1.
Excited to get my zines and stickers from @deeliteyears.bsky.social in the post today. The SMS2 has never looked so good.
After many runs of Maxim's ZEXALL Z80 test, and opening up the console, I can also confirm, there is indeed a Zilog branded chip inside! Thanks Dee!

Kiki's art is absolutely amazing, and Ashes to Ashley is a brilliant heart warming story about a brave and joyful bunny girl.
Anytime I see her art I usually end up thinking about it in the back of my mind later.
Inspired enough to try to make some SMS Ashley fanart. Drawing is fun!
