Here's another really old one from Falcom to wrap up my Haloween videos for this year: "Demon's Ring". Have you ever heard of this one? The video should explain pretty much everything you'd ever want to know!

Listening and enjoying it now. My memories of Funcoland are from the 90's. My city had a lot of locations, so they were pretty ubiquitous, and not always people's favorite game store.

Cool. I'll try to grab some time and actually listen. There seems to be nostalgia these days from people who weren't even around, so your perspective is appreciated.

I have good memories and not so great memories of Funcoland. Anything for me in this episode or is it just nostalgic gushing?

You may not like it, but this is what the peak male form looks like (and it only happened in the 90's).

This is the kind of random stuff I think of.

Oh Jesus, here we go... On PC-88 Paradise this time I'm looking at an Enix graphic adventure game titled "Jesus". This game apparently inspired Hideo Kojima to make Snatcher! More details on that in the video...

Here's a PC-98 game I've been meaning to play. Before you play the new Mado Monogatari game, here's a look back at the PC-98 exclusive prequel to the series. Learn the origin stories for some of the Puyo Puyo characters!

We bought Final Fight Revenge for $20. I was going to open it back in the day, but my brother reminded me we don't have the required ram cartridge.

So button-mashing? No depth?

Yahel does the best videos and is awesome to collaborate with! Check out his segment in my 3 Count Bout video from last year!

Haha, that would have perfected it. I already replaced the N64 with the Saturn to complete the group.

After reviewing Farland Saga last month, of course I had to also do the sequel. So here's a brand new video on Farland Saga 2! The game is definitely one of the best in the series, so check it out!

It happens a lot apparently, so I ask for no water when I order. Reddit posts say bartenders add the water because customers complain if the glass isn't full.

Basement Brothers @basementbrothers.bsky.social · Jul 5

Haha. I've never read it that way before.

Basement Brothers @basementbrothers.bsky.social · Jul 5

As long as they don't add water.

What was Square's very first RPG? Why it was a 1986 first-person space adventure called "Cruise Chaser Blassty"; an ambitious title with animation by a major anime studio! It also is often said to be Nobuo Uematsu's first game soundtrack, but is it really?

In this video I finally get back to the "Farland Story" series, with the 1996 game "Farland Saga". The Saturn version of the game is about to be re-released for modern platforms, so it seemed like a good time to finally cover this game! Check it out!

NOS Hyper Neo Geo 64 Road's Edge (aka Round Trip RV) kit from ebay. I don't have the driving motherboard for this.

Fair, universal enforcement instead of just random cat and mouse with the police would be a game changer.

After all these years making PC-88 Paradise on YouTube, I finally got around to one of the biggest PC games of 80's Japan. It even got a release for North American PC's! Please watch this extra-long video and learn all about "Sorcerian".
