Katsuya Terada given the job of writing a comic about Kusoge, which he is says is NOT Sword of Sodan (he actually liked that one) and instead remembers the deep pain of having finished Daimakaimura and being told at the end to start again from Level 1 because your training is not enough

"American game life" in 1996: note the lack of computers running Steam taking 30% of all revenue from digital-only sales (*even though you are giving 100% of shit to Sony and somehow not any to Valve), also bonding in a living room setting on a TV like that one Videogamedunkey viral video

Ghost in the Shell and Memories on one page, dangerous power levels

Don't know if I had this one in this video or not because I just found it...love the little grid of pixel art portraits. Max Voltage is one of the games I fell in love with soundtrack, checked and it's available for 2500 yen from Surugaya... youtu.be/NEJwWFpjC-0

Just dropped: X68K Gemini Wing OST from the very unique arrangement to CM-64 MIDI by System Sacom wonder musician Manabu Saito. With this OST this is kicking off getting back to covering MIDI which there are a bunch queued to do youtu.be/6kxWljRzxFY

Masashi Saeki / Sony - SCE VP Marketing pictured in 1996 Jugemu / Pretty sure these cases went flying out of his hand right after taking this photo. When I search for his name in Japanese (佐伯雅司) I find a quote where he said "adults buy PSP, little kids (お子ちゃま) buy DS"

It's quite amazing how often putting off dealing with something is almost never the right idea, something you finally learn only after 20 years of doing proper adult paperwork things the wrong way LOL (at least for someone like me who sort of enjoys doing things at the last minute or under pressure)

Kagemasa Kouzuki founder of Konami, found couple interesting blog articles (in Japanese, but probably fine to use auto translation on) dispelling rumors that he disliked games, his background sounds pretty hardcore/hands on. He is still alive at 85 years old! amd-ryzen.hatenadiary.jp/entry/2021/0...

Wild that Sega did not port Flashgal in any form for consoles over the years...the game was way ahead of its time segaretro.org/Flashgal

Unreleased Super Famicom game...because it was made by a student at Enix Game School (looks pretty cool though...)

There are four full pages dedicated to TX-1 in the new Famitsu..(one of them being the regular Arcade Archives photo of the arcade board, the other 3 are sort of a full blown retrospective/preview style introduction of the game...). I never saw this in arcades but remembered bsky.app/profile/john...

So i am going to try to record Gemini Wing CM-64 to get back into MIDI swing of things because 1) there is a reference to compare in downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtr... 2) I am not going to use those MP3s I would rather delete my channel 3) Manabu Saito was an amazing composer left us too early

Since Windows 11 borked my loopMidi setup so badly I could not fix it even after two weeks of debugging I am going to give the new built in loopback support / official MIDI SDK a shot…at least the dev team behind it is available on Discord

Crazy to see so many arcade machines shoved into Shibuya O-EAST for "Polygon Junkie 3" techno arcade gaming Dec 1995 event...this venue is pretty small so shoving arcade machines AND 1500 people into it must have been a pretty sweaty time.

Famitsu 1996 / History of Game Ads / Includes throwbacks to Nintendo classic TV commercials, iconic/memorable commercials, and Dragon Quest / Final Fantasy breakdowns

Famitsu in 1996 / "Look at what we found! Beautiful PR reps from different game companies!!" ..... Maybe they got a kick out of being featured like this in a nationwide magazine? Companies: Namco x2, Mizuki (became Spike), Gaga, Pioneer LDC, Panasonic (3DO/M2), General Entertainment ("Game Ware")

I had some sort of big brain idea to mix sparkling water with lemon and coke zero - it seems ok?? I had far stranger combinations as a kid LOL

Watching this documentary right now and the footage really is beautiful

It doesn't seem like this is going to run in Japan theaters...(unless I am wrong) It is sort of not surprising but if it is a good movie, there are much worse ones running here all the time...

Just dropped: X68000 Étoile Princesse OST (Boost Mix / Normal VGM-file Mix) by EXACT / 1993 / Extremely cool big-sprite stage based action game with banging soundtrack that as a rarity actually has solos/breakdowns in it www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzTn...
