some really incredible sprites in this game
[ www.spriters-resource.com/arcade/momok... ]

Sprites from "Momoko 120%". They depict a girl wearing a red school uniform dress carrying some sort of zapper gun (looking kinda like the NES Zapper).

occasionally between levels you get to play this (surprisingly-involved) space trivia game (??), and if you get all the questions right, uh, this happens

not entirely sure how necessary it is to preserve the genetic code of former Sega employees, but whatever

My name is (still) Gabriel and I'm (still) talking about #retrogaming.

If you love the games of yesteryear as well as indies & doujins, then follow along.
This month, I'm reviewing classic Batman games and whatever else catches my interest.

"Ninja Gaiden" was developed by a secretive internal development team at Tecmo, “Strong Team”, consisting exclusively of the company’s most jacked employees

Image from the attract mode of "Ninja Garden", showing a red stage curtain with an emblem of a very muscular arm flexing, with the text "Strong" below it. Below the emblem, text reads: "Produced by Strong Team".

Honestly I feel like I would have thrived in this era of games if I had been a little more established. I just wanna make total nonsense

Dokodemo Dodgeball Fantasia (どこでもドッジボ−ルファンタジア) was a dodgeball RPG released for keitai in 2006. Yes, you read that right! It's got a coming-of-age story and a real time battle system. We preserved this game earlier this year, and it's incredibly unique.

My daughter was trying to crochet a Hollow Knight figurine, but she messed up the head, and I told her that’s OK, now it’s a Fresno Nightcrawler.

A white and black crocheted head, two eyes and two longhorn

The same black-and-white crocheted head turned upside down so that the horns look like legs. It looks like a Fresno nightcrawler!
