Bubblegum crisis was one of the first "I should really watch some more anime" series I bought on dvd, although it was initially the 2042 series. Back in the days of play.com being a big source of online dvds in the UK in the early 2000s.

TV FLASH NEWS!

I just felt my bones turning to dust and my hair greying out in real time upon watching this.

Anime Web Turnpike was 100% where I got a lot of my early anime exposure back in the day.

Man what a nostalgia blast 💜

From DOKAN disc 5 in 1998 - this way to the Anime Web Turnpike. 💜

A Japanese ad for the Game Gear with a lady sporting some pleasingly orange and tan clothing and a straw hat holding up a Gear Gear in both hands and smiling at the viewer. Game screenies zigzag along the bottom.

"A handheld game console isn't fun if it's not in colour"

Happy 35th birthday, Sega Game Gear! Released in Japan on 6th October 1990!

Sega's foray into 8-bit handheld gaming carved out a respectable little fan base, has some interesting periphs, and is still getting new games made for it today.

Harajuku Joyful Map (1986 edition)

I managed to scan this overnight at FFS-award speed. Of course, I still need to crop and retouch every page 😄

Sharing some moody Mega Drive beats while I'm all fuzzy for Flashback. 💜

The down real low bass line is just, oof <3 And goes with the title screen colours and mood so well.

A blue damselfly landed on a praying mantis on the ground.

I almost got a super cool shot! A damselfly on a praying mantis.

The battery-guzzling handhelds of 1992 - just how power-thirsty and expensive to run were they?

UK tech news and video games review show Bad Influence totted up the hidden cost of running handhelds in its fourth episode.

A snap of Next Generation's September 1997 issue with a report on Panasonic's abrupt scrapping of the M2 project very close to its intended release date.

The sixth-generation console that never was with an oddly familiar controller: 3DO/Matsushita's M2.

Originally a 3DO successor project, it was sold to Matsushita (aka Panasonic) in 1996, who were in talks with Sega at one point to license the tech to Sega to form the basis for the Dreamcast.

As I'm lazy, I asked ChatGPT why Nanno cried.🤭
chatgpt: Yōko Minamino cried on **March 29, 1994**, during a nostalgic TV special, while performing her 1987 hit *“Hanashikaketakatta”*. It was her first time singing it live on TV in years, and the emotion of returning moved her to tears.

Two designers wearing suit shirts and ties sat and stood behind an array of five monitors of various sizes, two of them small PVMs on a shelf, along with keyboards and other computer tools. Various development screens for Final Fantasy VII can be seen.

From the pages of Gamest magazine: a photographic glimpse into the heart of Squaresoft's offices in Japan during the development of Final Fantasy VII in 1996.

That's one helluva multi-monitor setup they've got there!

A close-up snap of the intro with a brown haired and eyed girl's face filling one of our 14" CRT TVs.

Another intro snap against a kaleidoscopic backdrop with original character design credits

A young boy sits cross-legged in front of a boxy CRT TV on a tv unit with various consumer electronics around it and with a controller in his hand, against a backdrop of a kitchen

Against a yellow sky and a backdrop of power pylons and hanging wire, Lain walks

And you don't seem to understand,
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear. 🎶

The Lainposting continues. Snapped with our 2002 CD Mavica cam for that extra bit of of-the-time feel. 💜
