My playthrough of Hugo's House of Horrors is now up on YouTube! I remember seeing shareware copies of this one beside the register at Software Etc. back in the day, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to play it.

OMG the indoor level editor for EverQuest was converted from the one used in the PS1 Spawn game

"The [indoor level] editor was custom built in-house. It was actually converted from an editor that was built originally for a PlayStation game called Spawn:
The Eternal," recalls Trost.

From the Boss Fight EverQuest book

Okay, I’m like 98.47% done with my parts of 32 Bit Library Greatest Hits Vol 1!

The other cool part is stuff is rolling in from @hg101.bsky.social for it, and…

“HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!”

I got @glitch.mov’s contribution for the book already.

This one is going to be fun!

The True Meaning of Professional

I loved the first Death Stranding. Kojima Productions’ debut sits alongside Astro Bot and Gran Turismo 7 as my favorite PlayStation console exclusives in recent memory.

Feels like a cool time to share that I made some digital zines about Sega stuff a few years ago and they’re pay-what-you-want defstan480.itch.io

Not just any ol’ werewolf, but the comicbook character who I grew up with! A close up of his face and hands. Ink on paper.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.
vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.
