Why hasn't sega released a collection that's just all the arcade games they've put in Yakuza over the years.
Also when do we get Crazy Taxi (with the proper soundtrack)

If you look at the original English voice cast for Yakuza you can understand why sega thought 3 was too expensive to dub. It's a pretty stacked cast including Mark Hamilton and Michael Madsen.

So glad this has been recovered and getting seen. It was kind of legendary in parts of the UK gamedev community at the time. We all knew about it and commiserated that it wasn’t getting released.
Our first big Christmas update is with an amazing recovery of the final build of Resident Evil on Gameboy Color. Hotgen's impressive conversion that got canned. This is much closer to completion, and seems completable too. Lots to discover!

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
