The original game director for Milano's Odd Job Collection graciously worked together with us to make this re-release happen. He even gave us never-before-seen concept art and development materials that we translated and included in-game!

surely it must mean something that two games this year (imo, the two best games this year) feature heavy references to Galaxian 3

Not only is Super Mario Bros. 2 a "real" Mario game, but also there's some credible evidence that Doki Doki Panic began as a potential sequel to Super Mario Bros. 1.
There’s Super Mario DNA in Doki Doki Panic — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And becoming Super Mario Bros. 2 was just a return to its roots.

Today (11/29) marks the 40th anniversary of the Famicom ver. of classic ADV "The Portopia Serial Murder Case". This version of the game was huge, essentially pioneering the ADV genre on consoles. It notably used a command-driven menu to guide progression due to limited input.

God I hate remaster/remake culture. Losing my mind at how many reviews/comments I've seen that complain about the vertex jitter in the new version of R-Type Delta.
"Wobbly polygons" are part of the charm, aesthetic, and visual identity of PS1 games.
Old games are *supposed to look old*.
