From adventurous trios on the cover of MSX FAN magazine (shared earlier today) to now this, a most knightly sonic in wooden form for the cover of BEEP Mega Drive in 1992.

A new phase of Mega Drive, the issue proclaims! Konami entering the Mega Drive market, Sega CD, Sonic 2, and Landstalker.

A lovely and vibrant issue of BEEP! Mega Drive with a wooden painted Sonic on horseback (standing the horses back!) and holding a lance and pointing dramatically to the side. No doubt indicating the new phase of hoped for success for the Mega Drive in Japan, which was struggling against PC Engine and Super Famicom.

Ruthless savagery toward weak purses

"Though it's small, it's a monster of a machine. A new invention from Canon." (At least new for 1993)

All together now, aww, Baby Godzilla...

An old Canon from 1993 with rubber model kaiju, Godzilla's son, Minila ( I thiiink?) stood next to a compact copier (New Belpia) looking a bit puzzled as Trey hold up a pile of papers.

Square-Enix scanned the original Chrono Trigger production artworks and made a video containing very very close-up shots of them. an opportunity to see Toriyama linework/colorwork in such fine detail is a real treasure www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDI_...

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

"If you decide to challenge him to a Famicom game, just fill the briefcase with your Famicom cartridges. Walk down the street with this case and you'll feel like a pro."

For when you have a business trip in the Mushroom Kingdom - or a score to settle.

For those who haven't seen this one! Just Poirot left of the triad 😄

Stylised painting of Peter Falk as Columbo. He's in his mac and holding his trademark cigar. He looks go the viewer with a twinkle in his eye and knowing smile

@murray.senate.gov, this is a huge attack on first amendment rights and an existential threat for all Americans (regardless of political affiliation). What are you doing about this?

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 28d

They are trying to make it illegal to be liberal in America, because they hate free speech, hate the Constitution, and are a bunch of authoritarian scumbags

If you can manage, try to stay awake until it’s bedtime in local time, I’ve found that significantly helps with jet lag

Hope you have a great time! :)
