STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

Did another playthrough of Clock Tower for the spooky month, and I had a lot of fun
I really appreciate the art in this game
Each room is meticulously designed. Clock Tower has an incredible variety of color schemes, yet the main character always manages to fit perfectly into them

![From the cave story post, quote:
"What's more, as indie games improved dramatically in quality over the course of the ensuing decade, the technical skill floor lowered by the first wave of hits would get raised back up in the end. You could get away with pixel art and chiptune now, but it had to be the pixel art and chiptune of a professional. Tools would be released to help control the ballooning scope of new indie games-Unity, Unreal, GameMaker Studio, and the, like. [15] But somehow this would just move the goalposts further. When these were released, we didn't make Iji faster and more comfortably-we made Hollow Knight."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4qqkfpczj6ys2ljs42hkityz/bafkreiejgumy3g3apz6pxm276igau6md5yqnsrpasdcdvs43if5tfr5dn4@jpeg)

As an archivist, this keeps me up.
LINK ROT: 38% webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer available 10 years later.
Even among pages that existed in 2021, 22% no longer accessible just two years later. This is often because individual page was deleted or removed on otherwise functional website.
Many implications for knowledge 🧪

Most notable about this new release is that they found the long-lost workprint cut of A Better Tomorrow II with 30+ minutes of extra footage.
A BETTER TOMORROW TRILOGY comes to 4K November 18, bringing John Woo & Tsui Hark’s iconic saga back to life for a new generation. These films launched Chow Yun-fat into superstardom and reshaped action cinema across the globe.

From 1989 to 1993, FM Towns issued a number of freeware discs - including a pair for the Marty - whose covers consisted entirely of clay sculptures. Though not videogames per se, these exist in a space that is adjacent enough to the subject of this thread to deserve a mention.
