In this edition, I’m examining Planet Joker, the 1997 shooting game for Saturn. This game doesn’t have a whole lot of fans because (a) it was never released outside of Japan, and (b) it’s kind of c…

Reminder to stop using Spotify.
Not only are they shit for paying artists but their CEO invests in military drones for war and they apparently love and support ICE.
Buy music. Support artists. Curate your listening with a human hand. Or listen to radio. Find a DJ you like. Whatever.

Title screen for NiGHTS into Dreams… from Sega. The character NiGHTS floats at the center with a mischievous smile, their large purple jester hat forming twin curved points above narrow, glowing blue eyes. They hover in front of a stylized futuristic city at night, filled with tall, illuminated skyscrapers in blues, greens, and purples. A yellow crescent moon hangs in a deep navy sky streaked with faint clouds. The game’s logo, “NiGHTS into dreams…,” appears large in white and blue lettering with a red diamond in the capital “N.” Below, text reads “PRESS START BUTTON” and “© SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD. 1996.” Title screen for the Sega game Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams. The character NiGHTS stands in a dynamic pose at the center, wearing a red and white jester-style outfit with tall pointed hat and curled shoes. A bright yellow crescent moon glows behind them against a dark purple night sky filled with stars. Below is a stylized city skyline in silhouette. The game’s title, “Christmas NiGHTS,” appears large across the screen in white and blue lettering with a red diamond accent. In the upper left, a gold starburst graphic displays the date “2023/12/25” and time “13:18.” The copyright text at the bottom reads © SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD. 1996.

Early maintenance is the worst!

My type 2 human character Masumi glares at the camera with her hands on her hips because early maintenance is the worst. She's wearing a red strapless dress with white belt and what the game calls a "chain vest" underneath. Her white panties are slightly visible. Her Saturn earrings are very visible.

(1/2) In Doukyuusei If, the Sega Saturn port of elf's 1992 dating sim 同級生, there's a file called CLASS.DAT that looks like a normal game file. It's actually a disguised .LZH archive. Open it with 7-Zip to find 5 .BMP files. The first four are bonus art not found in the game, attached here.
