Some more shots of the MD Fantasy Zone repro a friend sent me. As we saw with the MD Darius port, I really hope we get an official release of this someday.

The artwork of Fantasy Zone used on the cover of the #MSX, #SegaSaturn (Sega Ages), and #PlayStation 2 (Sega Ages 2500: Vol.3) releases in Japan. Simple upscale with a slight retouch since the source was excellent. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

I’ve been comparing the different versions of Dead or Alive (1-4) for quite a while, and slowly buying different versions on different platforms.
This week I finally got DOA2 on Dreamcast and honestly, with graphics like this, how did Dreamcast fail? What were the marketing departments doing?!

Five years ago today, I was playing Primordia for the first time. A truly excellent point and click adventure. 🥲

Man, I'm looking at Sektori and thinking I need to get this game ASAP. Ex housemarque dev behind this so it's coming from good pedigree.

Gonna wrap this lot up, put it under the tree when it goes up tomorrow and pretend like it's 198-something.

The MD JP Arcade Power sticks are so much better than what we got in the West, given both versions are micro switched. Even with all the various adapters that allow you to play with modern equipment, these are still great sticks.

It's November 26, 1989. You're browsing through the pages of the latest issue of your favorite gaming magazine and then you see this ad.
How's this possible? It's a game that would only come out 26 years later! And for consoles that have not even been announced yet!

I remember hooking this up to a PC monitor via VGA (the picture was B&W, lol), but seeing Sol Calibur running for the first time was one of those 🤯 moments. Sadly, I stupidly blew this up a few years back 😭.

Dreamcast turns 27 today. What an amazing system, what a library of games. I saw Power Stone and the next day I ordered an import-system. No way I would wait for the official release!

I love Black Bird. It's the closest we've gotten to a new Fantasy Zone in recent years. Returned to it last week to crack True Mode and it's been fun.

Shame about the issues with City Connection's R-Type Delta HD boosted release. 🤞🏿At least some of them get addressed. Such a great game.

Flicky never received a physical JP release, but I don't mind the NA boxart at all.

In the original arcade version of Final Fight, there's a third button whose function is to escape grabs. It's not wired by default in arcade machines, but was left in the game code and can be accessed via emulation. Here, I tested it via MiSTerFPGA. It was probably used by the devs during QA.
