Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

THIS is my favorite version of Redline. I remember when this first spread across the Internet and the collective, "Holy shit" reaction. I rewatched it so many times 😆 Everything in this is turned up to 11, but gawd, you can FEEL every sexy chunk n' crank of that gear shift sequence

I seem to be contrary to popular opinion again but I really like this trailer. It shows so much individual character as each participant joins the march. It tells a small story about who the key characters are without words, it has a narrative arc, and of course the music sells the whole thing.

It's 1988 and your phone became the gateway to an RPG adventure with Fantasy Interactive Scenarios by Telephone (F.I.S.T.) by Steve Jackson (the UK one!) Originally launched in the UK, audiences in the USA could now join the adventure and romp through a Demon Prince's castle for "REAL GOLD PIECES!"

"FIST is an exciting new concept in fantasy gaming! Simply pick up your Touch-Tone telephone, dial 540-FIST and experience a dungeon adventure which YOU control! YOU make the decisions which direct your adventure by dialing numbers, as you compete for REAL GOLD awarded monthly.

The creatures and deadly traps which await you are brought to life with dramatic sound effects. Hear the ROAR of the FLESH EATER as you lock swords, the SIZZLE of the FIREBALL bursting towards you, the CHINKING of the GOLD PIECES you will find hidden in the Demon Prince's underground dungeon."

* Keep a pencil and paper handy to track your choices
* Dial 0 to hear the previous message
* Dial 9 to store your character in LIMBO for your next visit. Limbo saves time and money!
* Send in for your free starter pack for more information.

This one page ad wasn't quite as awesome as the two-page one that ran in the United Kingdom and offers a lot less information. For the most part, players can dial into FIST and experience monthly competitions for prizes by adventuring through a scenario.

Dialing into the service gave you a menu for options that described the rules, laid out the background for the scenario, connect with other adventurers to discuss the game, a shop to spend gold earned during the adventure, and even a training academy to get used to the combat.

Players could mail in for a FIST starter pack and their characters could even be saved by the service for later adventures, all driven by your phone. Hope that no one else needs it while you're on a dungeon crawl!

Also, there were TWO Steve Jacksons (hence the clarification). Steve Jackson in the United States was known for RPG systems like GURPS and his company still works on other RPG related materials today. Steve Jackson (in the United Kingdom) co-founded Games Workshop (of Warhammer miniatures fame).

Trying to design a sort of croco-gator thing for a birthday illustration. Just kinda thumbnailing and doodling trying to feel out the basic how's and what's. I think this is always the fun part of every illustration. But that enjoyment can lead to staying in analysis paralysis and never committing.

Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

An illustration by Tetsuya Nakae (aka Daichan) featured in the third issue of Capcom's Japan-only newsletter, the CFC Style Fan-Book, from early '97 It imagines the hero from 1986's hack 'n slash, Tatakai no Banka (aka Trojan), noting it was the first time the name "Ryu" appeared in a Capcom game!

The text in the ad describes that as tyranny takes hold at the end of an age, a new hero named Ryu rises up to fight evil with his blade and bring justice to a ruined world.

The added text below provided more information about the game that Tetsuya Nakae chose as to illustrate for the third issue of CFC saying that it arrived in arcades in April 1986 as a side-scrolling action game. It also noted that this was the first time the name Ryu was used in a Capcom game. It also notes that a Famicom version was released on January 1987.

As a side note, in the West, it would become known as Trojan! The name of the hero wasn't mentioned in the English manuals (simply referring to him as the "TROJAN warrior"), but the Japanese manual for the Famicom game names him Ryu.
