We return with another amazing tale of video games past!
This time: The international story of Taito. Learn about the colorful Ukranian founder, the origin of the modern crane game, and how a peanut vending company redefines the world of video games.

Due to the fact that the apk and obb are from two different sources and my current Android phone is too modern to run the game, I cannot verify if the game will work as-is. People who are able to test it are free to report back, though.

Turns out I couldn't find a reliable download for the Android version either despite assuming otherwise, so I have made a mirror. Using my Google-fu and the power of Internet Archive, I found both the apk and obb on two different sites.
It should be fine on modern Windows considering its a Unity-based game from 2012. I ran it on Linux via Heroic Games Launcher and it was fine there, too. Enjoy!

Haven't archived anything like this in a while. Here's a rarely-seen PC version of the 2012 advergame Crabs & Penguins by Coca Cola, made as a direct tie-in to the similar ad campaign they were running at the time.

There are some real gems in these archives.

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

Even some people that will lap up stuff with 70 layers of irony like all the recent Bubsy stuff (and will unironically go to bat for him) I've seen aren't crazy about this.
In addition - not to get too political, but the fact 2097 goes for more of an anti-American angle rather than the anti-commie angle of the original will turn off righties, and the lefties that don't care as much will turn their nose up at the AI art usage. Nobody wins here.
24.10.2025 06:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I kinda insinuated this on Twitter, but this is a game literally made for nobody. Part of the charm of the original was how it was a total shitpost made with duct tape and broken dreams, and trying to keep that aesthetic with much more powerful hardware doesn't work.

A drawing of Rouge the Bat, of Sonic the Hedgehog fame, riding on top of a broom in the moonlight. She's sat on the broom sideways, looking at the viewer and beckoning them over to her with a finger.
Rouge as a witch is a good concept. :3 So I drew Rouge as a witch.
Took some inspiration from the Halloween costume she had in SA2.
It do be like that, Mr. Stancil.
