Got the printed proofs for Ys and Other Falcom Classics, and Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Other Konami Classics. Just needs a final review and they'll both be ready to go!
Here's the cover for our upcoming book, Ys and Other Falcom Classics by @dicesms.bsky.social! Featuring many sketches from assorted Falcom games!
Bubsy is back....again.... in Bubsy 4D. Except this one is pretty good! www.hardcoregaming101.net/bubsy-4d/
This is the shirt, from Uniqlo a year or two back. Technically Metal Gear Rising
I had never heard of this game until I stumbled on it on the Internet Archive. It looks absolutely terrible and I must play it
This is what that shelf looks like zoomed out. Because I've crammed as much as I can into this small room, I'd need to move my desk to even get at some of these big boxes. But it's an IKEA desk with adjustable height so it's not too hard when it's cleaned off.
My wife's book, So Totally Undead, is out now on Amazon! It's about a teenage vampire girl in the '80s. If you anyone knows anyone who might be interested in a review copy, drop me a line! amzn.to/4vHEAd3
How much you wanna bet these goofuses would turn it into a gambling site?
Veritas Tales: The Witch in the Dark Castle, a modernized gamebook with gorgeous illustrations by a Vanillaware alumni www.hardcoregaming101.net/veritas-tale...
A few more, there are roughly 30 of these, will probably make a gallery when I get a write-up up for the site
Extracted all of the event CGs from Pixygarden, the PS1 pixie raising simulation recently that was recently fan translated. The artwork is by Mugitani "CHOCO" Koichi, who also did the mecha designs for the Xenosaga games
Steins;Gate: Hen'i Kuukan no Octet, the retro PC spinoff of the sci-fi visual novel. That 5.25 disk looking thing is actually a CD sleeve that holds the game. Beneath the manual is a soundtrack CD with the music in the chiptune style of various Japanese PCs
Putting together the movie book Now Playing (now available on LRG's website!), there are plenty of licensed games that are unplayable. Not salvable at all, remembered only through screenshots and maybe videos. These Ghostbusters games are gone forever!
Visited Kinokinuya in NYC and grabbed this cool Hulkenberg pin
Got the printed proofs of our Metal Gear/Silent Hill book. It still needs some editing and tweaking but it should be out soon
I have an ancient netbook I bought for travel 15 years ago. It's very slow but it's handy to run DOS and some early Windows games
There's a full list of movie games covered here, my spreadsheet says there are roughly 900 games included in the whole thing, it's probably the densest book we've ever done www.hardcoregaming101.net/books/now-pl...
