In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.
In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social:

Nothing "new" in here, but I just compiled all of my Castlevania retrospective stuff into one massive chunk for easier consumption or maybe to reach anyone new. The culmination of 9 months and over 500 hours of gameplay 💀 youtu.be/7gSuFMTvY_I

NES 203 - Star Wars cleared!
There’s a lot going on in this one, multiple genres at play. I got really angry at this game a few times, and there’s some jank to it, but overall a good game with some excellent presentation

I don't have a 40th anniversary episode of NES Works for you this week, BUT I do have a couple of NES recaps now that we've witnessed the U.S. birth of the 16-bit consoles and can get back to the NES chronology again. Here's a look at the best games of ’88, as determined by… me: youtu.be/Z4UoH9Wo3O0
