Sometimes as a writer it is important to really test yourself - to take risks, to break out of your comfort zone and do something radically new. With this in mind, I have written a nostalgic article about a Sega game

Space Harrier at 40: how Sega’s surreal classic brought total immersion to arcades in the 80s

As they flew above Yu Suzuki’s innovative, psychedelic 3D landscapes combating space dragons and alien rock monsters, the moving arcade cabinet would physically involve players in the action

They wanted a super elaborate photo verification, I just couldn't be bothered. They refunded me and I bought it from Amazon Japan, using a proxy. It'll be arriving when I ship out my next box of Japan loot. Anyway, congrats on the purchase. 👍

While I was on the subject of zombies, I also played around a bit in The House of the Dead 2. I needed to test the lightgun thoroughly. 😉
I spent my fair share of time playing this at the arcade back in the day, I loved it.

Broke out the keyboard to play some The Typing of the Dead. Yes, they are wearing Dreamcasts as backpacks and keyboards strapped to their shoulders sitting at waist height. They are the true keyboard warriors! Sega quirkiness is never not fun.

Just doing some light maintenance on my game collection.
Sadly I couldn't find my battery cell holders, so I used tabbed batteries.
First up was Super Metroid with new battery and capacitor. Also, cleaning of the contacts. Saved and restored the save file.

Another day another Sega Genesis triple bypass install 😂

No fancy flexes on hand this time so back to the ol’ wiring method

Just gotta do audio and headphone restore wiring and that’s another job in the books, with an N64RGB up next!
