Parasite Eve’s synth-heavy OST combined with snow-covered 90s Manhattan is a vibe so specific and immaculate that nothing has ever successfully replicated it.

Tonight I start #TengaiMakyouZIRIA ( #FarEastOfEden) for the #PCEngineCDROM²! ZIRIA was a big hit in Japan in 1989, but it was never localized for various reasons. I'll be playing a #TranslationHack that debuted in 2023. Looking forward to sharing this game with you! I hope you will join me!

"Panic Horror" is just 90s Capcom code for "a raptor will kick down this door and beat your ass while you're trying to figure out a water valve puzzle"

Yasumi Matsuno based the political nightmare in Ogre Battle on the real world Yugoslav Wars of the 90s. Instead of standard good vs evil, it forces you into terrible moral grey areas. Asks if committing atrocities is ever justified for a rebellion. Pretty heavy stuff for a 90s tactical game.

Before Pokemon was a thing, Dragon Quest V let you catch monsters back in 1992. Yuji Horii wanted your party to feel like a growing family across three generations. Recruitable monsters filled the gaps when the story left you isolated. Wild how much modern creature catchers owe to a SNES game.

The Opera scene in FF6 was almost just a plain cutscene. Kitase designed it that way until Uematsu stepped in. He argued if players weren't manually pressing buttons to make Celes sing in time, the emotional hit wouldn't land.

EarthBound flopped in the US back in 1994 mostly because Nintendo’s ad campaign was literally "This game stinks!" They printed scratch and sniff ads with bad smells trying to push 90s gross out humor. Completely missed what made Itoi’s writing special. Took a whole decade for people to catch on.
