I tried to pass on your greeting to Mungle but he threw a skull at me.

Don't worry, Mungle is here.

it's a cellphone charm and the Prince's antenna was supposed to flash red when you got a call, but it never worked on my phone... the prince never came alive ....

Thanks, flying spoonful of chili, I will do that.

From manual for Rocky Rodent, SNES. A spoonful of chili advises you read the consumer information about your game pak. This kind of thing happened a lot in the 90s.

Not sure if I'm just over-tired or what but the sheer "graphic design is my passion" energy on this Puggsy review from a Finnish magazine keeps making me laugh. Just whack the Puggsy sprite on there again. Now make it 8% larger. If you flip or rotate the sprite I will destroy you.
