Death Stranding concert audience mostly wearing smart fashionable black and white.

I was wondering what the crowd would look like, given past game concert audiences involved Miku cosplay, Shadow the Hedgehog merch, and Undertale white face paint. Fascinastatingsn.

Nobunaga's Ambition article now up over at TangoPunk!

It'll be included when the next physical issue releases.

(Five pages, free tier.)
Nobunaga's Ambition is one of those series that has had dozens of sequels and ports over the years, but never quite caught my attention enough to make me want to play it. It pretty much came across as a 'game for dads.' All numbers and statistics, and not much excitement. I finally took a chance to learn how to play it when it came to the Nintendo Switch Online service, as the SNES version seemed a little more accessible. It's good for something akin to a board game, something not too active, so you can play while watching streams or between doing work. In that aspect, it was pretty fulfilling, for a while at least! It ended up involving a very different kind of strategy than I expected. A game that I was addicted to for a week or so, trying to optimise my gameplay, but once I started seeing all the little RNG annoyances, I don't think I'd want to play it again. Let me get into why. Firstly! I always assumed this would be a strategy game about building armies and regions. It's not. It's a game about one man's lifespan. You pick a region's leader, and then see how far that single daimyo can get before he dies of old age or sickness. With that in mind, although you can choose to be any leader, some of them are literally impossible to win with. The game's called Nobunaga's Ambition because, well, choosing Nobunaga as the leader is one of the few people you can actually reach the end with. (Another viable leader is Tokugawa Ieyasu.) For a while, I tried to play the full 50 Fief mode as Fief 29 (Isshiki, of the region Tango). One of those attempts had rebels in the region defeat me on the very first turn before I even got to see the gameplay menu. Koei. Please stop being mean to me. You can play with up to eight players, but that wouldn't reduce how unfair it would be for different regions. Someone's always going to end up as a leader who doesn't stand a chance.

The 50-fief mode of Nobunaga's Ambition is too big-brained for me.

I can't tell if it's even possible to win as some of the other non-Nobunaga territories on the Super Famicom version.

I've heard it's impossible on the Famicom version, but no idea if things changed between ports.

Special thanks to Ramiel / Pawberry for creating, this perfect Halloween costume art, for me.

I was just looking into Mahjong Gensoukyoku (aka Mahjong Fantasia, by Active) after being on a Sei Shoujo kick, and noticed that the background art for this image has review text of Police Quest 3 and Elvira 2.

That's far more interesting to me than the blue-haired anime's bra!

The Undoukai by Taito, otherwise known as Field Day!

(The Undokai? The Undōkai? I never know the best way to spell it so that I can actually search for it later.)
The Undōkai a.k.a. Field Day, by Taito, 1984. This is more like it! A real fantasy game! The fantasy of school sports days being actually fun, instead of the British-style mix of unhygienic pain and humiliation for the medically challenged. But I digress! 'The Undōkai' is the name for the Japanese equivalent of a sports day. Along with the usual athletic events, there'll be something for everyone, such as the three-legged-race, tug of war, treasure hunt (where people will get a piece of paper telling them to find various things like 'a pair of glasses' from the crowd watching), and obstacle course which, for some reason, often involves jumping and biting some hanging food, usually a bread roll. Released in 1984, this game is the first to dedicate itself to this concept. As it's trying to be a Track-and-Field equivalent, it only covers the more athletic-based events, but it still has a fun vibe to it! All the player characters are women, which is a nice change from the era's predominantly male Olympic-style games. The game is controlled by three buttons. The left and right buttons are labelled the 'action' buttons, and are the ones you'll need to mash to run fast. The middle button is the 'timing' button used for jumping, passing a baton, setting your throwing angle, and so on. Despite its fun theme, the game is tough to get into and tries to take people's money with sudden game overs. Every event has a qualifying score or time that you need to beat. If you don't reach it, which is likely to happen the first time you see an event and don't know when to press specific buttons, you'll be back at the title screen. If you do well, you're rewarded with the flourish of doves taking flight (hooray!), and if you beat the record set on the machine, a cherry icon will appear next to your score. The vibe of the game is intense but fun, especially with the Can-Can music playing throughout. It's possible to earn an extended play via score, but that takes roughly around the time it takes to beat every event on one credit, so it'd only be used on your second loop. Ball Toss Rapidly mash Left/Right to build the strength of your throws, which will affect the angle. While doing this, keep tapping the middle timing button to throw balls. The ideal aim is 73° to get the balls into the basket. As the first event, it's a harsh filter that weeds out first-time players, and you'll likely lose a credit just learning the rhythm. Fortunately, the Arcade Archives release on consoles has a dedicated autofire option for this event. Type 6 autofire matches the rate to get the perfect angle. Three-Legged Race Mash Left and Right evenly to run. You need to use both the left and right buttons. If you're tapping one side more than the other, your runner will trip and fall. By the way, if you're on the Arcade Archives version, the Type 6 autofire from the Ball Toss isn't fast enough to win here. From this event onward, bump it up to Type 20 rapidfire! Test of Strength (Bell Ringer) The strength meter rapidly increases and decreases. Hit the timing button when it's closest to maximum strength. The timing feels somewhat random, and even with three attempts, it's hard to succeed as the timing is frame-perfect. At one point, I managed to score 7m 77cm, and the ringer fell off and gave me 1000 bonus points. Pure luck in finding that one out, and I wonder how many other little easter eggs are hidden! Obstacle Race The most fun event, and also the most difficult to do perfectly! There are Wooden horses, hurdles, a leap to bite a hanging doughnut, and a balance beam. The timing is tougher than it looks, as each obstacle needs you to jump from different distances. You can recover from tripping up on each obstacle, except for the doughnut. If you don't have it in your mouth after the jump, you're immediately disqualified. Make sure to get that bread! Softball Throw Run with the Left/Right, then throw with the middle timing button. A 45° angle is optimal. A classic Track & Field staple, nothing too notable to spice it up with the sports day theming aside from replacing a javelin with a softball. 120-Meter Relay Race Mash Left/Right to sprint; pass the baton with the middle button. If you botch the handoff, you fail. I managed to get a Chack'n Pop easter egg on this event, and I'm not entirely sure if it was random or based on score (9.66 seconds, in my case). He just decided to come by carrying a "1000" point balloon! What a nice guy. Tug of War Mash Left/Right as fast as you can. That's it! The big button-mashing finale. You win immediately if you pull the rope to the edge of the screen. Otherwise, it's whoever is in the lead after twenty seconds have passed. 20 seconds is a long time when button-mashing, and I can see this being a hardcore endurance contest if playing multiplayer! After the Tug of War, an awards ceremony takes place, and then the game loops back to the first event. It's a good, solid game! Honestly, it's surprising how few games there have been based on these kinds of sports days. Plenty of visual novels and romance games have them as storyline events, but few let you actively play them out. Aside from the imposing difficulty/confusion of the first event, it's a well-made competitor to Konami's Track & Field, and the little Taito references help boost its appeal.

I thought I had lost this communication forever after YouTube removed its direct messaging system.

I just found the notification in my emails!

MojoTouch asked me directly about how to access videos for The 7th Guest back in 2014 to make the 20th Anniversary Edition on Android.
Dear TangoBunny, My name is Liron Barzilai and I am the founder of a game studio called MojoTouch. We are developing a '20th Anniversary Edition' of The 7th Guest and would appreciate if you can help me get a copy of 'The 7th Guest Toolset' so we can convert vdx files to avi (and if possible avi to vdx). The original website that published them doesn't hold them anymore... Many Thanks, Liron.

The article itself, back in Issue 4 when my writing ability was even worse than it is now.

(As an aside... if you want the full 44 page zine, it's £7.00 and ships anywhere in the world. In American Money, that's just under $10 USD! Just message me!)
Released on two DVDs, due to using FMVs for each song and using the maximum amount of the brand new DVD technology as they possibly could, the game included an option for Append Discs on the main menu. Konami’s beatmania series popularised this expansion disc content, and Jaleco hoped to follow suit, however no append discs were ever released, making this option useless. The highlight of Stepping Selection is the soundtrack and background FMV. Some songs have official music videos, and it’s truly nostalgic seeing time-appropriate bands such as Steps, Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears playing out. It’s when you come across the selection icon for Ghostbusters that things feel amiss in the best possible way.

Ongoing Scholar Vol 2 magazine research for TangoPunk.

A zine that's currently covering another magazine!
Donatelli Volume 3 PORTFOLIOS DONATELLI MODEL "When I read the cover carefully, it says "Unlimited reproduction rights." So does that mean you can just go off and make other works with this as you please? But then it says "Not to be used with sexually explicit material," so you're not allowed to use it blatantly for H-stuff. Well, that's only natural. Then what are we supposed to do with it!? I feel like shouting, but this is an American product - over there, the land is vast, so I'm sure some people'll find it helpful. As for the content, the image viewer is well-made and very easy to use. At the lower right of the screen, there are Zoom and Copy functions. If you use Zoom, the lady's nice body whooshes bigger. If you want to look around the chest area, slide the bar on the right or at the bottom to move left/right or up/down as you like. If you hit Copy, you can quickly send it to another directory. It works exactly like the manual says. After looking at lots of adult CD-ROMs, seeing something like this makes you think, "Ahh, the appeal of clothes," doesn't it? Nice. If only the photos were a bit more realistic—around FM-TOWNS level. Agencies like HoriPro or Oscar ought to put out this sort of thing." David Bowie Interactive - "Click the camera, and Mr DB becomes the narrator, speaking over a still image. It feels more like a publicity slide from the record company. Clicking the woman in front doesn't make her do anything sexy. Only at this point did I realise the three portraits at the lower right are the menu, so I tried pressing them. Then I get pushed straight back to the elevator. A phone call comes in: "Bowie, you there?" or "Call me more, ooh…"—that kind of thing. We get perfectly well who the star is here. Click the telescope and you can peek at the building in front. A woman waves her hand, so you can't help clicking; then the billboard instantly turns into a promotional video. It keeps playing the new song "JUMP."

One day there'll actually be a social media platform that doesn't restrict text unnecessarily, actually let you attach more than four images, and doesn't crop pictures in really annoying ways.

One day.
