I'm a retro game geek who loves Japanese video games especially. MSX computers and game preservation are my passions. I also livestream frequently at: https://www.twitch.tv/themp83

28.01.2026 15:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0[2/2] This game is very flawed, but funny, and could really use a remake with better video quality and gameplay, as the original had the impossible second portion (unless you used pause scumming).
28.01.2026 13:14 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0[1/2] Does anyone know who now owns the rights to Midnight Raiders (1994, Sega CD)? It's a live-action, full-motion action game developed by Stargate Productions, directed by Sam Nicholson, and produced by Tony Cabalu. The music was composed by Mars Lasar.

I've played Doki Doki Penguin Land (SG-1000/MSX/Arcade) many, many times in my lifetime and I've never had this happen before. Does anyone know what the trigger is to have the mole appear from the window like that? I'm having troubles trying to recreate this.

Bringing this up to you since these things were mentioned on one of your unboxing videos some years back.
In the early 2000s RH Plastcenter Oy (now known as Plastcenter Nordic Oy) published 24 unique Windows games in Finland. They came on credit card shaped CDs called Pocket Playcard Game. They're now all downloadable for free with the original publisher's blessing:

What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

It's a silly thing to archive since the game is long dead, but preservation is preservation. π
