You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour the Korean PC port of Vandal Hearts, which removes the blood, features a Korean language dubbed intro, has a full MIDI rendition of the soundtrack, and shipped with a bonus disc featuring a host of demos and the full game of Sexy Lion?

Sometimes I browse through heritage auctions and I find the occasional odd gem, but today I stumbled upon the mother-load: these ridiculous grocery store ads promoting the release of The Jungle Book, and each one has me absolutely reeling. Sharing them here so you too can share in my bewildered joy

Happy Fat Uncle Calnot day to all who celebrate

"CARNOV

It's a horizontal screen scrolling action game which major role is the fat Uncle Calnot. The player uses the informations in cartridge to proceed.

O Good background music, bald-headed major role
(Uncle Calnot has a relative - Cherunot.)"

Continuing on the Popeye tip, I was delighted to rediscover in an old scrapbook that I'd kept these stickers from the early 1990s, handed out by our (then) local pizza takeaway, 'Popeye Pizza' off Mare Street, Hackney. I don't believe they were affiliated with Kings Features Syndicate.
A sticker for Popeye Pizza. Popeye is driving in his trademark red 5-door Austin Metro. His pipe is emerging from the back side of his cheek and his legs are protruding from the bottom of the car's clearly fucked chassis. The text across the top reads: "POPEYE PIZZA". A circle reads "In this AREA We are best". The slogan at the bottom says" "Hey if you want very testy & Delicious PIZZA. CALL US"A Popeye Pizza sticker. Another crudely drawn Popeye, this time in a more traditional boat, but a boat that appears to be carelessly emitting a cloud of raw effluent, which a fish is jumping out of the way to avoid. The pugnacious mariner's clay pipe still appears to be stuck in the back of one of his cheeks since it's nowhere near his mouth. The slogan reads: "Sailor-Man PROMISSING You that PIZZA Will Reach You Very Soon." another one reads: "when you CALL US".Another Popeye Pizza sticker. This time Popeye is riding a delivery moped with the slogan "DELIVERY MAN" carefully sidestepping any possible "SAILOR MAN" legal confusion. The slogan reads, semi-apologetically: "We are New But What A Taste"A final Popeye Pizza sticker with Popeye in a more easily traced, 'Trad. Popeye' pose with can of spinach in one hand and the other arm ending in a clenched fist. The ad claims: "I will Get MORE PIZZA ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY"

been watching this Japanese youtube channel covering Famicom game secrets and unusual hardware recently & in a video about Bubble Bobble they incidentally showed this inaccurate but very cute artist's depiction of Bub from a magazine around the time of the FDS version's release. i love him actually
Some "anatomy of Bubblun" feature from Family Computer magazine depicting him as a kind of chubby furry dragon entirely in green with lil arms and haunches

I won't belabor the point when I've written about it plenty, but if the source material took time to get made, then so does good loc. Without due diligence, it's ego stroking at the expense of others' labor. That's why these AI patches aren't respected by pros, not because we're elitist gatekeepers.

AMOA 2001 was also the North American debut (and probably ONLY sighting) of Boong-Ga Boong-Ga and thankfully I got proof. I did not try it. Details in ALT caption.
Boong-Ga Boong-Ga (Korean: 붕가 붕가, Japanese: 開ウン!ケダモノ占い), sometimes advertised in English as Spank 'em, is an arcade game developed by a South Korean company, Taff System. It is the first arcade game to simulate kanchō—a popular prank in Japan and Korea where the victim is poked with two fingers in the anus unbeknownst to the victim. ... While an initial contract was made for distribution of 200 units in Japan, only 5 units were ever actually distributed in the country. [Source: Wikipedia]

Interestingly, this version has a large "whack-a-mole" hammer attached to it. Was the game adapted for the US by making players spank the ass instead of poking it with your finger? Hmm.

Gooey is grabbing an apple with his tongue and Kirby is holding the Star Rod.The same figures under softer lighting. Whispy has a big striped caterpillar in his canopy and a Gordo is visible. Gooey is sitting on the stump.Overhead shot of Whispy. He has a Gordo and a striped caterpillar with huge eyes in his canopy.
