'The one place it's okay to poke a monkey with a stick' is... a credibly funny magazine ad tag-line for Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll on Nintendo DS, right?

Blade Force for the 3DO was shown at E3 1995 with a very different camera position - with your guy right in the middle, rather than at the bottom of the screen. It was also shown using the X-O-Tron VR gyroscopic control! archive.gamehistory.org/item/92b103…

I was looking into a CD-i developer called Vortex Interactive and found some temporarily displaced Sega Saturn media. Their website lists "Assessment of the Critically Ill or Injured Child," a three-disc series for health workers, funded by the Sega Youth Foundation. web.archive.org/web/19980202...

私がこの件を初めて知ったのは、たしか門真なむさんのこのポスト(2000年11月、当時はツイートか)だった x.com/num_kadoma/s... この直後にブックオフで買った鉄道王は問題ない個体だった…けど、あれからもう5年は経過したので、今動作確認して正常に動くかはわからない

壊れている鉄道王がまた一つ。自分が最初に買ったのも起動早々にバグるし、数年前にも動かないって人のツイートをRTした覚えがあるし、近場のゲーム屋のジャンクコーナーにも動作不良品があったし、何か要因があるんだろうなあ。

I worked on data decompression code for quite a few SNES games that Software Creations developed, Including PLOK! This allowed us to fit lots more levels and graphics into the game that we would have otherwise been able to do.

A very brief look at Battlesphere on the Atari Jaguar, from E3 1995. The game did not come out until 5 years later once the Jaguar became an open platform. This b-roll shows a very different UI from the final game. archive.gamehistory.org/item/92b103…
