I did Hydlide 1 on PC-88 last year, so I'm afraid this was inevitable... Well, glad I survived anyway...

Good news. I've added a new variant of the SCART-SnapFit for gscart switches, snap-in clips to securely hold your SCART cables in place!

This one fits the gscart v3.4 VGA output model.

It is available for free on Printables and for purchase on the Kytor store.

An early title screen (left) for Phantasy Star II (MD) compared to its final release (right). Besides the similar but nude single woman, the same planets are there, but a nice portrait of Alis/Arisa(?) disappeared for the final title screen.
