I don't have a functioning phone to take a pic right now but it would be this. Probably the earliest in terms of release date (1981) but definitely the 1st in terms of home games I played as it was literally the 1st ever, as my dad got it with his VIC20

REAL GAMERS only play on arcade default settings

Playing your BABY game on the 'hardest' setting makes me think you have something to hide. Are you trying to compensate for something🤔😉

Once again you have proven yourself to be a FAKE GAMER by using later & therefore lesser versions of the real game😈😉

Other unusual Cave toppers:

The 1st loketest version of Mushihime Tama, when it was called Mushi Poko Sama, featured Reko's hand on the 1P stick & her beetle Kiniro for 2P

No images of Kiniro exist but he was on the POP for the 2nd loketest when the game had changed name & no longer used toppers

Reco's hand topper - from Natsuge Museum

They cost an absolute fortune for years but 3D printed copies are everywhere these days so they won't be hard to get if you don't want to spend thousands on a full kit

The Puzzle Uo Poko arcade stick cat paw toppers have been usurped in the fierce battle of 'best cat related thing you can put on a controller'

the 4 cat paw toppers that came with the full Uo Poko kit

AI is the most hilariously inept garbage

Dear AI, what was Mario's 1st game?

AI - Mario's 1st game was Super Mario Bros 3, commonly known as Doki Doki Panic, the sequel to Mario Bros, a famous film from the 90s that was based on VS Super Mario Bros

Don't trust what she says, always trust AI

The correct answer is of course Samus from Metroid, so long as you ignore Kissy from famous Namco game Baraduk🦆 & every other female from games prior to late 1986

Blessed AI being shit & wrong as always. Giving shit answers whilst also contradicting itself in the same paragraph

Nothing that's in a game is ever pointless. Stupid & irrelevant probably but there's no way to know that if you don't even know the thing exists to begin with

I sure many score increases or speedrun times have happened due to seemingly pointless knowledge

I was talking more about the OG game. I stumbled across some people I follow replying to a random box art a/c that had posted it & nobody seemed to know anything about it

Def a nice shock to see it getting a new version though & the people doing it, that I know nothing about, seem to be respected

Quote with two female video game characters you like!

Going with a couple of obvious ones

The Seibu Cup Soccer new year '92 artwork girl. Nobody kicks a smoking chimp like she does

The Racing Hero ending girl who only exists if you clear the American course. The rider's a guy on all other courses

The Seibu Cup Soccer new year artwork girl. Nobody kicks a smoking chimp like she does, as she kicks a chimp that's smoking. Good-by chimp!! It's time up! she says, not noticing her spelling error. A shocked & round chicken watches on

In today's unexpected news, the excellent old Westone PS1 game Milano's Part Time Job Collection is getting remastered & localized on modern systems

Seemingly a lot of people still don't know about this one?
