This is a neat segment from an old Discovery Channel feature in 1992 on one of the BattleTech Centers (Chicago) and their immersive cockpit sim pods. I think this might be one of the 'System 1' pods, their graphics in part powered by Amiga 500s. #VideoBytes

If you loved the first bit of Grandia's spirit of adventure as much as I do, I think we'll both enjoy London Spirit Detectives for PS1. Looks and sounds adorable. Another no-AI translation (tools included) hot off the presses. 🔥

I am very proud to announce that our English translation patch of London Spirit Detectives is now done and released on GitHub. Thanks to aishsha, bigbanana23, Cash Ogawa, Pennywise, Ryusui, TheMajinZenki and vervalkon What a wonderful project! See reply for details.

I've got this lined up for after we're done with Majora's Mask and I am so looking forward to it.

When writing down and then entering the password to pick up where you last left off in a game is an endurance test. Oof, that's a *lot* of characters. 📺: Maniac Mansion, Jaleco, 1988 (Famicom version)

I wrote a little bit about how Deltarune succeeds for me with tone and storytelling where Undertale stumbled a little bit. playingps2.xyz/games/deltar...

Long and slender digital cameras of the mid-90s: The Ricoh RDC-2S. I love the horizontal form factor and flip up screen of this 1996 0.4mpx digi cam. 2mb internal storage, and offered photo transmission via a mobile/cell phone and the PHS network.

A far-future, post-apocalyptic 42nd century Brazil, as envisioned with generous dollops of French artist Moebius inspiration. 📺: Dragon's Heaven (1988, Makoto Kobayashi).

Swooping in from an archive of game design and concept docs: Character artwork and sketches from the development of sci-fi dungeon crawler Crime Crackers (1994, PS1) by Masato Kanamono (Kokomahi).

Puma sisters and big guns - the spirit of B-Club in '93. 🔥 B-Club (1985-1998) was a magazine published by Bandai that mostly focused on gunpla and other models and garage kits, but would also cover general anime/manga stuff.

New blog post time! This week's game is Knife Edge: Nose Gunner, an often overlooked N64 rail shooter that looks bland at first glance, but is actually very distinct within the console's library. It's atmospherically compelling, mechanically competent, and it even has 4-player co-op! #blog #gaming

Knife Edge: Nose Gunner

Knife Edge: Nose Gunner is exactly the kind of game I love to cover on this blog. You can tell because it’s one of the longest posts I’ve made in quite some time! It’s been sitting here all t…

Now watching: new Ghost in the Shell episode 🔥 Tuesdays can't come around fast enough while its airing.

This artwork of Naga from Super Famicom Slayers deserves a post all of its own away from the main thread. 😳

Raising Hell in The Killing Game Show, Commodore Amiga version (1990) Run, gun, and crawl your way through levels with water, acid, or lava rising to keep you on your toes. A unique interrupt a replay of your last death at any point to resume mechanic gives it some extra zing.

Get more frags in your next deathmatch! The Thrustmaster Frag Master: one of the attempts in 1998 and 1999 for a mouse and keyboard replacement via a hybrid joystick aimed at FPS games. In this case, something more akin to a particularly cursed looking flight or racing controller.

Covers that hard: Vortex for Super Famicom. Stark contrast from the North American cover with its colourful chrome robots in favour of something almost eldritch in design.
