I've finally added a dedicated Baroque page to my site so you can easily find links to the articles I've written about this incredible series!

You can access it from the home page or using the direct link below:

“This is the age of Great Heat. This is the world it destroyed.” It’s easy for a game to be mysterious. Just throw a few fancy Proper Nouns around, hopefully have some great art to back them …

Oh, I almost forgot #OSThursday!

... Can I just post MUSIC♪ from THE iDOLM@STER again? I'm sure I've done it before but it's a song that makes me very happy, and it has a perfect music video ♪

Let's sing! There's no barriers in music.

I am absolutely *dying* at this proposed US boxart for Mario & Wario as seen on... The back of a Kellogg's box in Canada. Beautiful.
snescentral.com/article.php?...
A zoomed-in look at a potential US boxart for Mario & Wario- ultimately only released in Japan- for the Super Nintendo. Mario is stumbling around with a bucket on his head as a generic fairy is helping him and blocks are falling around him. Meanwhile, Wario menacingly lurks in the background with the wrong colours entirely- dark blue hat and shirt, black overalls and red gloves.

Looking up info on the rumoured Sonic the Fighters port to the Saturn (leaning towards 'considered but never really started') and, well, I couldn't find a Mr. Han Lee attached to Square LA / Square USA, so kinda doubting the veracity of this for some reason!!
archive.org/details/Comp...
A segment from Computer & Video Games Issue #177 (August 1996) talking about Sega Saturn demos shown 'behind closed doors' at E3 1996. Supposedly. The segment is adorned with a stock picture of Sonic and screenshtots of what is clearly the arcade version of Sonic the Fighters. SEGA SATURN UNTOLD POTENTIAL When you see the shots of Saturn Fighting Vipers we have for you this month, you will be amazed. It seems the new Sega Graphics Library (SGL 2.1) is pulling tricks out of the Saturn that even the world's leading software developers are stunned to find. Most notably Squaresoft who, as you know, recently shunned Nintendo to concentrate on PlayStation development (Final Fantasy VII, and Tobal No. 1) A representative of Squaresoft LA, Mr.Han Lee, posted an excited message on the Internet recently, detailing a private demonstration of the new Windows 95 hosted Saturn development environment, and SGL 2.1, which took place behind the scenes at E3. Here's what he saw: "a demo driving game, sort of like Gran Chaser (Cyber Speedway) that had a real-time Gouraud shaded lightning and ran at 60 frames per second. In a tunnel scene, there were actually real-time generated light casting from the tunnel windows onto the walls." "VF2 Akira with real-time Gouraud shaded lighting." "3D Sonic doing Fighting Sonic moves on Saturn. What was so impressive about this was that the entire process took palce click-and-drop easy." Sega Europe quizzed thier Japanese counterparts about this information, and were told that the content was accurate. So to fan the flames of desire even more, we'll leave with this final comment from Han Lee: "One of the senior programmers of Square Japan recently told me tat Saturn has several undocumented DSPs that Sega never released any information about. If this is indeed true, we still haven't seen half the potential of what the Saturn can really do!"
