Excellent. Thanks!
That's from the ending, so it means "END". If you want to do that one too, go ahead.
@flashpv.bsky.social Hey FlashPV, are you still making title screens? If you are, think you could make one for me close to the original style?
Game: Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Okhotsk ni Kiyu (translated as The Hokkaido Chain Murders: Vanishing in Okhotsk).
Let me know and thanks!
It had new/different content, but yeah, basically.

There are two different Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade NES games; one published by Taito, the other by UbiSoft.
(Doesn't help that their boxes look so similar!)
@darklordzagato.bsky.social has mapped both of them!
See them on VGMaps.com:

A screenshot of a mock-up used to promote the then-in-development Final Fantasy IV for the Famicom, taken from https://shmuplations.com/ffiv/
I just learned that there was a Final Fantasy IV in development for the Famicom at the same time as Final Fantasy V for the Super Famicom. This "IV" was canceled, and the "V" in development became the FFIV we know now. The lost "IV" may have been as close as 80% complete?!

Tell them the obscure story about how the American Super Mario Bros 2 is based on Doki Doki Panic.

A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening?
