Apparently this game was briefly considered lost, but the author found some old floppies in 2017, they were resuscitated by a curator at the Strong National Museum of Play, and now you can play it online — museums rock.

The part in this episode where the idea of playing this game with a partner comes up brought back the memory of my beloved girlfriend watching me play the Cathedral boss fight for over 40 minutes, asking if this was actually any fun whatsoever for me, and me promptly giving up on the game entirely.

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

I absolute love using @jajanken.bsky.social's site, which collates every issue of Jump by both individual issue & collective series, so I though "I wonder how some of these charts would look if various story arcs were listed?"... so I did just that, as a test!
