Took this pic earlier before the heavens opened up again.
I took the beady art out for a photoshoot. Turned out pretty good.
@bone6502.bsky.social saw this earlier today at the London Gaming Market & thought of you. It's a strategy guide for the Famicom version. It's meant to be 300yen, but today it was more like 2000% of that...

Picked up the latest Retro Gamer magazine from my local Tesco.
I play some Sakura Taisen on the GBC in memory of my good friend Nick Thorpe @hkt3030.neocities.org who passed away at the age of 38.
The latest Retro Gamer magazine features the most successful tester to come out of Software Creations @bone6502.bsky.social as he shares game dev stories for the xbox360. Proud to have worked with Bone testing Tinstar, and Barbie on the SNES. 👍
