it’s very funny to see people panicking over this when google pulled the literal exact same stuffing-by-association trick fifteen years ago

CNN Money article from July 2011 announcing Google+ had reached 10 million users in two weeks (Google was automatically subscribing to Google+ any user that interacted with comments on Google websites)

this trend of tech companies changing the way they approach the world according to the region is nothing new. microsoft came under fire in the 90s for writing conflicting information across regional editions of the encarta digital encyclopedia

“But the Gates article goes on to another and truly egregious example of local "reality." Did the Scottish-American Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? Or was it the Italian-American Antonio Meucci? It is disturbing, to say the least, to read that the Italian version of Encarta, in preparation, will say that "[i]n 1876 another inventor, A.G. Bell, patented a similar device." There was no similarity, as both historians of science and the courts have long recognized. I know, from correspondence over many years, that the Meucci claim is pressed as a matter of nationalistic pride by a few, shall we say, hobbyists; but we also hear from Flat-Earthers from time to time. This is no instance of one "reality" having equal standing with another. The case is clear, and it takes no great courage to state it in Italian as well as in English.” —Robert McHenry, editor-in-chief of the Encyclopædia Britannica, in an unpublished editorial.

even though its script was translated in 2004, mm would only see a full english patch in 2022, mostly due to the slow development of the wonderswan romhacking scene. although it’s not a story-heavy game, the patch is absolutely recommended if you can’t speak japanese. tinyurl.com/rh94znet ■

klonoa and huepow read comics together with an odd creature in a cutscene. the dialog onscreen reads:
“Koof: Oui~ comics are art too, are they not?”

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 12/12/2024

an interesting thing about the wonderswan is that it was designed to allow both screen orientations, and klonoa is actually both. some of the levels require you to rotate the console to better accommodate their more vertical design. (3/4)

klonoa floats in a whirlwind in front of an open window on a peaceful night. the screenshot is in portrait, because vision 5–4 is one of the game’s vertical levels.

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 12/12/2024

it was only released on the wonderswan, a nifty little handheld that never left japan. even though it’s the predecessor to the GBA games, moonlight museum is set in the mainline continuity; a gaiden of sorts. i could say how it fits in, but it would be a huge spoiler for door to phantomile lol (2/4)

the full moon shines bright on the background as klonoa flies across a large pit tossing moos to stay afloat in vision EX–1.

⒌風のクロノア (Kaze no Klonoa): Moonlight Museum this game isnt that obscure, but i had to do something for #klonoa‌’s anniversary :) moonlight museum is probably the least played klonoa game, which is a shame – it’s quite good fun, and certainly better than beach volleyball. (1/4)

klonoa tosses a moo downward to double-jump on vision 4–4.

sound qube came out in 1998 for both psx and saturn, developed by assist studio media entertainment and published by human. the screenshots are from the psx version, but both versions look and play almost identically. ■

Stage clear screen from level 7. The player got the perfect bonus by removing all cubes.

100

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 10/11/2024

core cubes are marked by pushing △ twice and can be removed one at a time. like in minesweeper, □ lets you visually mark cubes to keep track of things. lastly, ✕ cancels any marks. there are also powerups that appear at random when you clear cubes, but the rest can be intuitively learned. (3/4)

Page 12 of the in-game manual. The Japanese text translates to: “Stage Clear – Before you run out of energy and lives… if you can erase all core cubes, the stage is cleared.”

100

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 10/11/2024

it sounds confusing, but there is a very handy in-game manual (sadly in japanese only). the gist of it is that the red sonar is fired from the right side and the blue one from the left. to remove cubes that aren’t core, mark more than one of the same type with △ and confirm with ○. (2/4)

Screenshot of a late stage of level 6. The player has the Active Sonar powerup in effect, which allows both sonars to fire at the same time. The energy gauge is full and there is only one core cube left to clear.

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 10/11/2024

⒋Sound Qube a very off-kilter game that’s basically sound-based 3D minesweeper. each stage consists of identical-looking cubes of 5 different types: red, blue, white, jammer and core. armed with a red and a blue sonar, you must find the core cubes, the only ones that respond to both sonars. (1/4)

Screenshot of a stage from late level 6. The player has visually marked a cube as white. There is little more than one third of energy left and four core cubes to be cleared.

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 25/10/2024

it’s not an elaborate game by any stretch, but it’s a great timekiller that holds a special place in my heart,,, palm made a good choice picking it as the z22’s pack-in. crazy daisy came out on PalmOS and windows mobile, and later got an iPhone port too. ■ (screenshots are from palm version)

Petals, hearts and butterflies fly all over the screen as the player makes a chain on puzzle mode.

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 25/10/2024

⒊Crazy Daisy a mighty fun touch-based puzzle game from astraware, better known for their ports of popcap games on PDAs. it is as simple as it looks—turn daisies to match same-coloured petals and make big chains for extra points. there are three game modes, but they all largely play the same. (1/2)

Title screen of Crazy Daisy running on an emulated Palm M515 PDA.

Arcade mode screenshot. The player is still on level 2 because this screenshot was taken very lazily.

block & switch also features an edit mode, with eight slots for custom levels. released in 2002 – quite late into the psx lifespan –, it is part of selen’s super price series of budget games, costing only ¥950 at launch (as opposed to buttsubushi’s lowkey preposterous ¥3,800). ■

Screenshot of Block & Switch’s edit mode.

yappy ☫ inactive account @rarit.ee · 22/10/2024

if it looks familiar to you, it’s because it’s a spinoff of a game that was released in europe and australia by the dreaded phoenix games: buttsubushi. block & switch is basically a very expanded version of buttsubushi’s puzzle mode, which only had 100 levels. the main game is also quite fun. (2/3)

Title screen of the PAL version of Buttsubushi. This game’s main mode is a four player battle royale, kinda similar to Bomberman. WHOA BONUS INFO ON THE ALT TEXT

⒉Block & Switch a methodic puzzle game with simple rules appropriately based on blocks & switches. the goal of each level is to push the creepy humanoid keys onto the keyholes on the ground by shoving blocks and/or switches at them. it’s simple to learn, but really hard to beat all 450 levels. (1/3)

Level 13 of Block & Switch’s Step Up difficulty stage.

the developer, sky think system, is /less unknown/ for its later game harmful park, a really good parody shooter (and if you played that you Will get whiplash from some characters’ voices) there’s also a sequel, shingata kururin pa!, which isn’t as good imo ■ [rain leonard fanart by 佐藤エリア on pixiv]

the mechanics are intuitive enough that you can guess just by looking at a screenshot. every character has their own special block with a unique gimmick, and everything is surprisingly very well balanced—there are no bad or good characters, you just have to find who best suits your playstyle. (2/3)

⒈くるりんPA！(Kururin PA!) addictive tetrislike from the psx’s first year, later ported to the saturn with different art. framed as a world championship with a cast of Very 90s SFII-type national stereotypes (some of which didn’t age very well), the game is a mishmash of other obscure puzzle games. (1/3)
