I just remember that it could do all kinds of technical wizardry that a handheld from 1989 really shouldn’t be able to.

The Atari Lynx had just a weird and interesting software library for a handheld… almost like an 80s greatest hits package.

Sengoku for the Neo Geo. Released in 1991...

Oh, and the ¥48,800 yen for the system is about $750 USD in today’s money.

Same. I picked one up on a trip to Japan about 15 years ago, and never looked back.

FYI parcel shipments have finally resumed to the US. So if you ordered more than one copy I’ll be getting your shipment in the mail this week (and sending you a tracking number). Thanks for your patience 🙏

The 5th (and final) batch of magazines has gone out the door. Thanks everyone...

Also, are you team Saturn or team Dreamcast?

I’ve never forgiven EGM for their OutRun 2 review scores… 👀

Also, OutRun 3 is late… 🚘

I never had a Saturn back in the day. So it’s been fun going back and discovering the amazing game library. Especially the Japanese shmup imports.
