Hey folks, I need your help. I’m planning a trip to Japan in November, and while over there I’d love to interview people involved with local video game magazines. If anyone has any contacts, or can help, please reach out. This will be for an upcoming issue of Forgotten Worlds 🙏

Strange Phantasy Star 2 review in Game Players magazine… There’s a bunch of info about the plot, but practically zero details about the game itself 🤷🏻‍♂️ #PhantasyStar #JRPG #MegaDrive #Sega #SegaGenesis #RetroGaming

I’m a huge fan of Terarin Games and their indie shoot-em-ups. So I reached out to the founder, Junichi Terayama, and asked him a bunch of questions. Like, will we ever see a physical release? Read the interview 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/blog/terarin... @terarin55.bsky.social #Shmup #STG

I spoke to Richard ‘Rich’ Leadbetter about his time at CVG and Mean Machines (and the glory days of grey imports). [From the archives] 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/blog/the-ric... #Sega #MegaDrive #SuperNintendo #C64 #Amiga #Nintendo #NeoGeo #PCengine #Amstrad #RetroGaming
