The last pattern of the final boss is impossible for me without the heavy bomb! BTW, I would love to know how to trigger the MS exclusive bosses on the Switch Sega Ages version.

I know there's a new and hot shooter out today, but if you still think you can't possibly beat Sega's classic Fantasy Zone...you CAN! With this video! youtu.be/MJv6inxdpSU It covers not only the original arcade version, but also many of the more common ports!

I tried that with that piece because it looked familiar but I couldn’t put a finger on it, it wasn’t giving me anything, although I wasn’t focusing it on the environment. Good catch!

Kai Magazine did this since starting as a hobbyist on the MSX scene decades ago. Here’s another one I found. Also, on @goatistream.bsky.social stream for their latest game, chat found the ending traced backgrounds from Last Blade 1 & 2.

This is why you cannot trust YouTubers and publishers in the retrogaming space. This 2025 megadrive game presented as "better than most snes game" has assets traced over existing sprites (Wild Guns and Shinobi III) and AI-generated backgrounds. Garbage game, garbage company, garbage shill youtuber.

According to former Sega hardware designer Kenji Tosaki, the Pluto was developed by Sega of Japan. 5 units were made. It was intended to be a device for a subscription-based game distribution service. It was too expensive, so the project was cancelled.

Akumajou Dracula XX (Castlevania: Dracula X) was released in Japan on July 22, 1995. Development was impacted by the Hanshin earthquake. They couldn't go inside Konami's Kobe HQ for a month, but they still had to get it done by the end of March. A lot was cut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AufK...

Toshinden chara-designer Tsukasa Kotobuki explains that the Toshinden URA core team was reassigned during development on D-Xhird. He also points out that Leila Marcus from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was pretty much based on Sabrina, both designed by Yutaka Minowa.

Shinichi Morioka in the january 1999 issue of Game Hihyō:
"My recent work in games has taught me to be careful when signing contracts."
At the time, he was working as a chara-designer on Hybrid Heaven and Skies of Arcadia, 2 games in which he is not credited. He left the VG industry shortly after.

This time on Scrolling Down the Belt - sometimes you get a Final Fight...and sometimes you get a Riot City and a D. D. Crew! They may not be great, but they sure are funny (well at least one of them) If you don't watch it, you're in for some roughin'! youtu.be/7Mx68gxVQHo

Several Sega characters in front of a Dreamcast. You can see Beat playing Virtual Fighter 3TB, Sonic, Gum, Beat, the Crazy Taxi car, a Ryo Hazuki figurine, etc.

Time to start with Side B of the β€œ95–97” demo tape. All the remaining tracks are from 1995 and are either old recordings of songs they later re-recorded, or unreleased material. Also, all recorded with Yasuhiro Ogura on drums before he was replaced by Toshiki Shimizu in 1996.
