New video out now, buying my DREAM CRT!

Because of this post I learned that there’s an author who wrote a book on this exact subject so I immediately got it. Documenting all of the old Famicom shops and their mascots, it’s really thorough and very well done with tons of pictures. Looking forward to reading it!

My favorite part of retro game shopping in Japan is that sometimes you find these unique items. These are cartridge sleeves made by certain video game stores that no longer exist, in the case of “Famicom Shop Top Boy” they even have a whole character/mascot set with their own lore and everything.

It’s been a fun week.

I found this whole set of unlicensed adult Famicom games, surprised to even see these at a Hard Off! They’re mostly Hanafuda, Poker & Mah Jong games with some 80’s 8 bit pictures thrown in. Fun novelties but not sure I’d want to pay that much for these lol

Score?

Why does Eltale Monsters always fade like that? Some games seem a lot more prone to this than others, maybe it’s a certain type of ink they used? Maybe @quest64official.bsky.social knows? 🤔

ポケットモンスター 金・銀「キキョウシティ」 Pokémon Gold/Silver: Violet City

And that’s all 8 badges! I wanted to experience Pokémon Gold in its original form since I never got to as a kid. It seems I really missed out since it’s an improvement on the original in every way. What do you think about the original Gold?
