Thanks for the read, I always enjoy learning of insightful stories like this one.

Now I'm in the mood to listen to the soundtrack of this amazing game. Still one of my favorite Castlevania and also SNES games ever.

Amazing gameplay, stealth mechanics, and engine (the Fox Engine that is). The rushed story and almost everything else however are something I just want to forget about.

Yes please, fingers crossed.🤞

I miss Cate Archer, she is without a doubt one of the best well written VG characters ever.

Good list of games included in the book.
While I get that there's supposed to be a limited amount (the title itself says all), there are some more games missing that I would have liked see. Nevertheless, I want to read through this one.

@Kingy: Cave Story is actually included in here, as noted by the website.

Never heard of the game before but I always liked the idea of playing as an insect in a shoot-em-up. Count me in.

Another one bites the dust.😞

Fun fact: the update features the voice acting of the original Smash 64 announcer Jeff Manning.

Great video, I'm gonna watch more of this channel's work now.

Happy 65th anniversary Sega.
Now give me some reveals on Sega characters in Crossworlds.😆

Good memories with this game, I don't think I ever finished it though.
I would love a remaster.

This is nice news for a change. I'm still not without worry since anything can happen but its good to hear they are safe for now.

Interesting, I will be on the lookout for this one.

I always pictured a official Metroid 64 game, had we ever gotten one back in the N64 days, would have used the 2.5D perspective (pretty much like Samus Returns and Dread) but this is nice too.

I wasn't even aware he initialy had "retired". So whats his role at Sega now? Is he still a composer or…?

Thanks for the interview. Samba de Amigo was and still is one of the top gaming highlights for me personally.

Right……no thanks.😑

Sigh, not much to say that I haven't said before regarding Sega's film adaptation plans. As for this project, I was never much of a OutRun player (I only played that OutRun 3-D port on the 3DS and thats about it) so nothing there.

Oh, and Michael Bay being in charge of this makes it way too easy to pass.😑

Pouring one out for the loss of another comrade.🫗

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember this series. Didn't realise it was a new entry.

Thanks for the read. Monolith will be missed, and their legacy will forever live on (atleast in my mind).

"So we had talked about sidescrollers, and there was a game called Jazz Jackrabbit that had just come out at Epic, which was a cool game and had an awesome soundtrack"

This bit I loved. Jazz Jackrabbit is one of my favorite 90s games ever, and yes its soundtrack is killer.

"Did you already know about Shinkai's past career in the video game industry?"

If you mean before the movies no, but if you mean by the time this article was published then yep. I looked him up shorthly after seeing "Your Name" for the first time back then.

Glad to hear he had a good time visiting his old job here.

Thats nice, its been a long time since I played these two. Wishlisting now.

Neat, I have seen a few video walkthorughs of this game before and have been wanting to try it myself.

If they wanted to make this anniversary truly memorable then they should work on buying the full rights of Ms. Pac-Man.

@slider1983 : Great minds think alike.👍

@HammerGalladeBro : Far as I can tell its a series of music albums for several of their classic titles…I think.

Thanks for the read. Hart sounds like a wonderful person and, like NinChocolate above said, its nice to read about positive experiences in the industry, especially in these worrying times.

This hits my 'cozy, relaxing' nerve just fine. I really wanna try this.

Wasn't aware til now that it got canned, thats a shame.😞 I will try the build later then.

Thanks for the review, I love me a good adventire game made in this style.

I have a lot of respect for this man and his work. Keep it up Terada-san!👌

I would like to hear it from Reno himself, but still this is good to know.

I liked Steel Assault so I will be checking this out.

If I was alive during the 80s (I was born during the 90s) and worked as an employe at Nintendo, I would have thrown a big 'calm' party at my house celebrating the anniversary.😋

This was honestly one of the most bizarre but still somewhat amusing 'gaming staff stories' articles I ever read, thanks!👌

I never watched the Darkstalkers cartoon so I can't comment on that.
Regarding the Street Fighter cartoon; tbh, even without the other (more superior) SF animations in mind, I always found this show to be one of the more weaker 90's cartoons back then.
Nowadays I mostly remember/watch it for the memes and the 'funny bad' bits.

🤣

@Tasuki : You are right, they did have a Final Fight-based episode.

So sad to hear.😞
I hope nobody was hurt.

Thanks for the read, I heard about Uchida before but didn't know much about him (other then his work on Altered Beast and Golden Axe) until now.

Somehow, I never even imagined the possibility of Lizardcube making a MS game until I read this. Now I wanna see it.

Who knows, maybe one day…

Another great man taken from us,😞 RiP David Lynch.
I need to re-watch Twin Peaks again.

Seriously? What a piece of shift.

Thats terrible to hear, I really hope the best for the museum and its recovery.

Sad. Truly tough times for game preservation everywhere.

I remember seeing this fan game at a previous SAGE event, looks fun. Will download the demo when I have the time.

Another 'too soon' loss of a legend.💔
RiP mister Brown.

How in the world did I miss this top-notch article?😅

Happy 30th anniversary SF '94 film!🎉
I remember feeling a long time ago how the movie was one of my "guilty pleasures" but I wouldn't admit it out loud, nowadays I'm proud to say its one of my absolute favorites, video game-related or otherwise.

One of my favorites is the "change the channel" moment with Zangief, I feel like thats one of the more underrated funny moments in the movie.

@KitsuneNight : I mean sure, that is obviously the case here but even that feels suspicious as Gioeli is known (atleast to most people within the Sonic community) as a chill guy, doing gigs for little to no compensation. I know that you could never be truly aware of people's true nature but for him to take up legal action like this so suddenly, and right before the Sonic 3 movie was released, is uncharacteristic of him.

But I wait until we hear something directly from Gioeli himself before fully forming an opinion.

There is something not right about this whole ordeal. I still find it hard to believe he's not been aware of the song's widespread use for over two decades until now, and the timing (right before the third Sonic movie's release) is a headscrather as well.
