Gargoyle Games made 4 titles where a slouching guy walks around mazelike worlds of these very monochrome screens. He can turn in place and the "camera" turns with him. It's incredibly disorienting.

Tir Na Nog for ZX Spectrum. Slouching guy walks across yellow field.

Dun Darach for ZX Spectrum. Slouching guy in yellow room apparently making a bank transaction

Marsport for ZX. Slouching astronaut in red, red maze of pipes and machines

Heavy on the Magick for ZX. Slouching guy in cloak walks through fantasy cave.

Johan is nice to me, personally. I'm sorry you had that experience with him but I've never had that kind of problem.

usually whichever bird is nearby. these ducks hung out with me, they were the best birds. a goose hissed at me and he was the best bird. 2 geese who stood on a building screaming & honking. I fed little bits of my lunch to a sweet pigeon missing one foot outside uwajimaya and that was the best bird.

I like the period where the old arcade-y publishers were like uhhh fuck it, Bomberman Wars. Parodius Wars. R-Type Tactics. TwinBee RPG.

Bomberman Wars screenshot with a bunch of Bomberman units doing stuff on a tactical grid

Twinbee RPG fight screen. Twinbee vs... vegetable guys.

Paro Wars attack animation, like Famicom Wars but with Maoi heads or little cartoon babes driving the vehicles

R-Type Tactics screen. A hex-based fight playing out in a sidescroller type view, with a big R-Type alien on the right.

the other good quote from the interview

Itoi: But so-called arcade games have a vibe similar to gay magazines. It's a closed world, a world outsiders don't understand, where like-minded people gather as their circle shrinks. Like narrowing concentric circles. So I think it's really important that what I did this time with MOTHER went in a different direction.

applause for this Gundam pilot who seems to have been created just for the PS1 era fighting games

For Woman Day we celebrate the farming games so loved by women and femmes, and fems, and inverts. The most woman-centric formula? A grid of squares! By pressing a button near each square, following intervals, woman's sadness is kept at bay. 💜 Game on, no matter how your body is! 🌄🌽🎮

the first time I went to LA I saw a prop collection that included these disintegrating gizmos and it felt like I was on a pilgrimage to see a reliquary or a fragment of the True Gizmo

Vegas Dream / Vegas Stakes HAL Laboratory In an era where you could profit releasing "slots and blackjack" on console, these add a lightly immersive RPG flavor by depicting your trip to the city, lodgings, and various encounters on the casino floor. This is the true leisure of hospitality gaming.

NES Vegas Dream. Blue slot machine screen. At the top, blue haired woman's dialog portrait. she says: "Thank you Mr. Deadpark." (that's the website this screenshot was grabbed from.) "I'll never forget your kindness."

Vegas Dream on NES: a figure in silhouette sits at a dimly lit bar, tended by a mustached dude in a vest and bow tie. at the top of the screen: dialog portrait of a woman with brown hair and sunglasses and like a blazer over a low cut top. she says: "OH I'M SO HAPPY THAT I MET YOU LIKE THIS."

Vegas Stakes, SNES. a "Digitized" photo of Vegas as the background image. a weird looking photo referenced drawing of a white dude is your chosen gambling companion. he says: "Which casino should we visit?" The choices are: THE HIDEAWAY, GOLDEN PARADISE, BUFFALO HEAD, THE 2020, LAUREL PALACE

Vegas Stakes, SNES. at the golden "Laurel Palace" slot machine. a photo referenced drawing of a long haired girl is saying: "I'm so sorry to ask you for a favor, but I desperately need some cash."
