Doraemon: Nobita no Dorabian Night is the final Doraemon game on the PC Engine and it definitely does not play like a Doraemon game. Unless you think Doraemon should be running around shooting people. And as tie-in to an Arabian Nights themed movie, not much Arabian Nights. youtu.be/OLgoINNP1GQ

Ever played a Sokoban game? Well you should, whether the answer to that question was yes or no. Here's a brief history of Sokoban, with the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 Sokoban World/Boxyboy as highlight.

One of the earliest console releases in the hugely important and influential Sokoban series, as well as one of the first released in North America.

The artwork of Shin Onryou Senki used on the cover of the #NEC #PCEngineCD release in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Shin Onryou Senki clean artwork used on the cover of the NEC PC Engine CD release in Japan. Image depicts a young woman with long dark hair in a shrine maiden attire with another woman with short hair below, a young man in a white shirt with his eyes closes and right arm above his head, and another man in glasses to the right. Above there are some ghoulish looking creatures with red eyes, sharp teeth, and a menacing look. The background features some contrasting colors between blue and orange.

Spoiler for next video, but I can't find a single article in English about Crystal Beans from Dungeon Explorer besides some little mentions from trade show reports and one proper article in German. The game was obscure in Japan as well, kind of lost in so many huge titles releasing that year

After I finished Torneko no Daibouken the other day, I jumped right into another Mystery Dungeon game--Shiren the Wanderer 2 for the N64. I quickly realized I wasn't in the mood for more MD. So, last night I switched to Tengai Makyou Ziria for the PC Engine CD. I'm already loving it ^_^

Traveling Tengai Makyou Ziria's with my frog friend, Kogama, and a human party member I haven't met yet. (I didn't take this screenshot!)

Instead of using cartridges, Hudson made HuCards for the PC Engine. These slim slabs of plastic could hold up to 4 megabits of data, which was massive for the late eighties. #Gaming #RetroGaming #HudsonSoft #PCEngine #TurboGrafx16 #RetroGames #Photography #Art #GameDev #IndieDev #BookSky #PromoSky

Added PC-Engine style wavetables (32 x 5-bit) to my music thing. Not sure how actual PCE music is made i.e. how often the table gets swapped out during a note - but I was able to make some gritty 8-bit style sounds with it already. Mouse editing is fun too and one of the reasons I wanted to add it.
