Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

On this day 27 years ago (1998), Japan saw 4 amazing PS1 games on one great day!🎮 - Fighter/dungeon crawler Ehrgeiz (ft. FF7 fighters). - Unique SRPG/musical hybrid Rhapsody. - Thousand Arms was the right kind of cheesy/funny. - And Suikoden II which makes players feel many feelings.

Today is the 26 year anniversary of The Legend of Dragoon Released December 2, 1999 (JP) for the PS1 A true RPG gem that is frequently compared to final fantasy series, though I feel it has its own vibe!

One hella cool and rare PC Engine model: The PC Engine LT. Released in small numbers in late 1991 for just under 100,000 yen, this laptop PCE sports an attached LCD screen, giving it a PSOne-with-screen feel. Or rather (given its squarer appearance), an oversized Game Boy SP.

A photo of two PCE T's on a table with their screens flipped up and on.

A Computer & Video Games magazine news piece about the PCE LT and its expansion ports, CD compatibility, and TV tuner. "One of the swankiest pieces of to ever come out of Japan"

We were working on a SNES 'Taz' game at Software Creations in about 1993/4 and all that remains of the game are these three Taz sprite frames. That may change if I uncover any other artwork. I believe these were drawn/animated by Andy Wilson ( RIP ). Andy is at the front in the photo.

I love anime girls with magical orbs in video games. They used to be really prevalent in the late 80s to mid 90s. You know, those solid, spherical objects, often floating in the air. Here's just a small collection of such girls (I'll leave out obvious fortune tellers):

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6? Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

"I'm still here. I just abandoned my body." The hum of wire and data. A late 90s tech-vibe and aesthetic of all of its own - Serial Experiments Lain.
