I'm a terrible musician, but I made a 2nd tune for my sound engine's test ROM today.
It's from Sorcerian by Yuzo Koshiro

Making boss #2. Trying to setup a fancy demo trick, but so far it's going about as well as you'd expect😂

RIP my wallet
On the positive side, I now have 12 carts left for a full PAL/NTSC NES set. Used to be my main focus before moving to Japan/getting into PC Engine, but I'm still grabbing the ones I need when I have the chance!

Haven't had much chance to work on the game recently, sometimes life gets in the way.
Still planning to go back to it as soon as I can though!
For now, I found this silly manga about salaryman ninjas, I feel like I might get some inspiration for Special Ninja Squad :P

Stage B-2 is in, and I've made a lot of custom elevator routines for it to make it look like you're inside them :D

Building a new level. A concept I had in Space Soviets already, but a bit more refined!

1943 Kai (PC Engine): More Than Your Run of the Mill Arcade Conversion - Beyond The Scanlines #063
YouTube video by Beyond The Scanlines 1943 Kai (PC Engine): More Than Your Run of the Mill Arcade Conversion - Beyond The Scanlines #063

Something else from the video archives, and it's my look at 1943 Kai for PC Engine!

You might just think it's a darn solid conversion of Capcom's remix of 1943, but then you find out it's more.

So much more. Which makes a darn tight conversion *truly* special.

Does smashing the dead miniboss's head around bring anything to the gameplay?
 No.

Is it hella fun?
 Absolutely!

Love seeing you make pixelart!
How many colours on this? Since it's 512px I almost want to stick this onto a PC Engine ROM just to see if it works :P

Great read! I have two, one I got for less than peanuts in a lot of Famicom(?!) games on Mercari, and another one gifted to me by a friend on the condition I repair it and I give it a good home.
It is such a fun handheld, especially for nerds beyond saving like me :P
