Wow I remember downloading that off a BBS, I don't think I ever beat it! I also remember little kid me going back to "regular" Namco Pacman afterwards and being disappointed the sprites weren't as big and detailed 💀

The controller would later go on to have an even more powerful grandchild

That's the best part! It's kind of a blessing the console can't really do FMV so instead we got so many beautiful voice acted pixel art cutscenes

I believe this is also the only game to officially get a release on both Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 at the same time

Nice! Last time I messed with MD homebrew I should have probably tried to do horizontal scaling first for that reason. Instead the first thing I did was the vertical scaling trick, I think I got the interrupt handler down to just two instructions

Other unexpected favorites were Road Fighter, Knightmare, King's Valley.

I am still terrible at Antarctic Adventure and Penguin Adventure, so after dying a lot I went and replayed Yume Penguin Monogatari on Famicom. This one also has some Good Penguin Faces

By the way Konami Ping Pong is SO GOOD. This game rules. Pictured is the FDS version but it also is nearly identical to the MSX version. I can't believe this was one of my favorites of the bunch, but it is! This right here is my Marty Supreme

Posting this once again lmao
That would go well with a Beeshu JetFighter

Oddly good music in that one, the composer is apparently a very accomplished J-Pop producer who did a short foray into video games for that random pinball title

Same and I always have to remind myself the 6502 carry flag is inverted compared to basically any other cpu

The PCE CD and PSP versions also have awesome soundtracks! I was working on a MSU patch for the SNES version I need to get around to finishing, that allows you to play with either of them

Really fun game though with a banger soundtrack, unexpectedly tight combat and platforming, translation is actually good for the most part even though I am memeing on it! Enix does not disappoint.

You're a bad one Mr. Brain

Is that a threat?

(There is no additional context, this is the whole bit of dialogue. Also there is no "milk" item anywhere in the game)
