That's me!!! Later when I moved to Japan I was like "Wait there's more Ys's? You mean the Apple IIGS game!?"

In his review MVG said "there are a few things that might be deal breakers with this" but for me the biggest deal breaker is the fact that it makes you play N64 games

And here's YUMMY.BIN, a hidden image on the 8-bit Apple version of TASS TIMES IN TONETOWN of a hapless programmer being decapitated. Seems to be a recurring theme.

Here's some fun stuff! If you type BURGER at the first screen of TASS TIMES IN TONETOWN, you get instantly decapitated.

and her asking "Wait a minute, you sound like a little kid, how old are you, anyway?" (I was 16.) I got to meet her and Jenelle in person many years later in Seattle, and it was a delight. I also religiously watched her BURGERTIME Twitch streams and pester her with Apple IIGS questions.

Becky, I want to thank you for all of your awesome games that entertained me so much when I was a kid with my IIGS. I got to meet you years ago in Seattle, and it put a smile on my face that lasted for weeks!

I live in Nara and I haunt this place a few times a week late at night. However I only play TGM2+ since there's a Switch port of that and I can religiously practice on it!

Also the guys at Cue are really responsive if you ask them for maintenance help, they've swapped buttons for me before.

There's a wide variety!My local high school band was playing Casiopea and T-square jams and I lost my damn mind.

I'm really confused how this works, is the OS language locked to Japanese or is there a layer of secret region encoding on discs that I'm unaware of?
