A peek at GAME FREAK (Yep, *that* Game Freak!) tips 'zine issue 22 from 1985 where the solution to arcade Time Gal is lovingly and painstakingly illustrated and written out scene-by scene. 💜

A scan of the photocopied zine with an illustration of protag Reikas sat coly with legs crossed and a marker pen held in one hand, with cheeky doodles drawn over the game's villain's face and a piece of paper. "Time Stop!"

A snap of one of the pages, with painstakingly drawn recreations of hte various scenes of the QTE based animated footage gameplay with directional inputs for each of them.

Another snap of inked illustrations of Reika in one scene and line artworks in the other. Directional inputs can be seen below.

I don’t think an anime opening has ever made me laugh so hard.

the best part about this is that it's blocked really well as far as fights from this era go. Most hits look like they're making contact vs a lot of stuff where you can see inches between fist and face.

"The whole deal's like something a crazy game."

Keith David just telling it like it is holds true in now more than ever.

Yeah, I think it actually slides in quite nicely.

It's a multi-genre film in a lot of ways.

The French national library is such a treasure cave of incredible pics, like what the hell is this: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...

Photograph of a man in a homemade Mickey Mouse costume in 1933. He is walking the street alone, his shadow visible on the wall. He looks wrong.

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

You're gonna get to read stuff I worked on when you play this! I got to work on a scene with one of my favorite characters! I'm STILL losing my mind about how cool that is! Please look forward to enjoying Bachelor Dankovsky's warm, charming bedside manner ❤️
