NEW BANGER!!

Classic Sonic got me into video games as a whole, and today I figured I'd talk with you all about why that is, how well they still hold up, and how much they shaped what I continue to look for out of the industry all of this time later. Enjoy!

If I may beg a small favour: would you mind reading/passing on my Shining Force III page if you've got a moment? Literal months of hard work went into it, so it'd make my day if it didn't instantly sink without a trace :)

Did you know many previously untranslated retro games received first-time official English releases on modern platforms?

I've created a little site with a list of 60+ newly translated ports/remakes: sites.google.com/view/retro-g...

This list (& thread) will be updated over time.

Here is some cool footage of the tools used to make Arcturus: The Curse and Loss of Divinity, a Korean RPG that was very influential in its home country.
