Hard to believe it’s been a dozen years since a film crew was following, and filming, my every move for the documentary, Console Wars. Haven’t seen it? Check it out on Paramount +

Sega joined with Michael Jackson for what seemed to be a fever dream made playable in Moonwalker. We take a deep dive into the making of the arcade version, with newly-translated information that gives us a more complete perspective on this one-of-a-kind video game.

I’m still amazed, going through a bunch of press kits this week from both indie and triple A studios, how few promotional screenshots are actually useable. I reckon maybe 10%? I often post about this but should I make a little guide or is that horribly presumptuous?
