Today's reviews are the SNES, NES, Game Gear, and Genesis versions of Batman Returns.
Originally, I'd have spread these out over a few days, but I'm already tired of #Bat-Octoberfest. The numbers suck and I just want to move on.

"To save the Queen, you must battle the Cellulite Monsters rampaging inside of her. You must destroy every single one!"

Gedd: "Good, good! That's how it's done! Keep going!"

Next up in Breath of Fire 2 is body horror.
In order to stop the Queen from turning into a monster, we explore her innards and destroy all the demons rummaging around.
Occasionally we're shown status updates of her half-fattened body.
Yech... not even Deviantart is touching this. #retrogaming #snes

It also features this iconic game over screen.
NO FUTURE!

Wild Fang aka Tecmo Knight is a violent brawler with some mechanical depth to it. Both the Tiger & Giant forms have their uses, and you can save yourself trouble by blowing up monsters with bombs.
Also neat is jumping between bosses and bashing them to bits.

That's the thing though. Whether or not people think my work is great is irrelevant because they never voice their thoughts.
I have to rely on literal poison (social media) to assess my writing.

The confidence required to attempt something like this was stamped out years ago.

Now? I'd rather just lament.

Just gonna nap.

Heading into what I believe is the halfway point in Front Mission: Gun Hazard.

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SEGA Mark III console in Japan, Astro Climber will be released and available for free on 20th October. #homebrew #mastersystem

Wow.
Batgirl has Cool Spot's jumping animation.
#retrogaming

I'm playing Batman: Chaos in Gotham for the Game Boy Color, and I have questions about Batgirl's animations.
#1 - Is she firing batarangs out of her posterior?
#2 - Jiggle physics? Seriously?
#retrogaming

I'd say do it. 100%.

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Front Mission: Gun Hazard
Just admiring the variety of wanzers.

Shit. Now I wish I had written a book.
I could be total dick to everyone, cry about cancel-culture, and the publisher would still cover my ass.

(Yeah, I'm not the least bit surprised by the recent turn of events)

BATMAN Also, you can sort-of see my "entertainment center" mini-consoles and regular-size consoles are strewn everywhere.

Paul Reubens & Diane Salinger playing the part of Oswald Cobblepot's parents in Batman Returns. The two of them starred in Pee-wee's Big Adventure as Pee-wee Herman & Simone, respectively.

Spent the night watching both of Tim Burton's Batman flicks.
Always weirded me out that Batman Returns apparently exists on the same timeline as Pee-wee's Big Adventure, except Pee-wee never found his bike...

Old repaint of thief from Capcom's D&D Shadow over Mystara. Was initially a doodle on a post-it note.

IIRC all of the recording sessions were done with everyone in the booth at once.
It makes the dialogue scenes more natural.
