fwiw I asked multiple Rare- and Magazine System-adjacent folk about this a few years ago, and was told (paraphrasing):
"possibly? idk I don't remember"
"that sounds like the sort of thing we would have told a magazine for no reason"
"we published bullshit all the time"
"possibly? idk I don't remember"

According to the official British Nintendo Magazine System magazine, Panel de Pon was originally planned to be localized with Killer Instinct characters before being changed to the Yoshi-themed Tetris Attack.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Alice Gear Aegis (3D mecha musume STG by Dariusburst devs) is currently running an event with one FG-obsessed chara that goes through numpad notation, leverless controller hype & ends with the player constructing their own fight stick based on a ton of needlessly specific hardware parodies

Rick is a Rider who specializes in racing on land. Despite his heavy weight, he's also great at rounding corners. #KirbyAirRiders

My students were telling me that they really liked this SpongeBob game so we pulled up the cover and I realized that I had drawn it, haha. I didn't do the cleanup or color, just the pencil sketches. #spongebob #battleforbikinibottom #videogame #cartoon #animation

Mario Party: The Top 100 contains the unexpectedly profound test message "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." This is actually a quote from the 1999 film Fight Club.

Been a while since I posted a progress update on Marathon Recompiled, so here's where we're at!
We have working builds for Linux and macOS, and I'm working on sorting out the remaining blockers for Windows.
Bugs in game, and singleplayer 3D not rendering properly yet but stay tuned...
