Bonus bit: the planets seen in outer space beyond the mirror in Beyond Shadowgate reference the title screen of another of (@grahfmetal.bsky.social)'s NES-style point-and-click games, "Infested".

Hallowe'en post #12:
Speaking of jumping out into space (like yesterday's post), here's one of the more "out there" deaths in Shadowgate (NES) which is also in Beyond Shadowgate (PC).
If you don't know about Beyond Shadowgate, I unboxed/reviewed it here:

Hallowe'en post #10:
Did you know you can easily kill Death in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES) by using just one bulb of garlic?
Eat your vegetables, kids!
(I thought I posted this before, but apparently not as part of my 31 geeky Hallowe'en-related posts this month.)

Hallowe'en post #11:
In Super Castlevania IV (Super NES), you can fully power up right before facing Dracula if you make your way down here with the invisible platforms and back up again.

This young guy already settled on the look he's going to keep until he grows old.
That's very progressive of him.

Hallowe'en post #9:
As explained in The NES Endings Compendium - Vol. 1: 1985-89 (which I reviewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH6s... ), there are three endings to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES) that are dependent on how fast you beat it, but the endings seem to be mixed up.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

I learned to use it in less than a week following tutorials on youtube + building a test page using that knowledge. I've published 3 books since.
It's very important you figure what page size you're going to use from the get go, plus the margins and stuff.
If it's for print, always use CYMK colors.

What are some other crazy game marketing quotes?

Hallowe'en post #7:
In Mega Man 7, if you hold down the B button when selecting Shade Man's stage (if you haven't defeated him yet), instead of the normal Shade Man stage music, you get music from another Capcom game, Ghosts 'N Goblins.
