本日はPS『戦国サイバー 藤丸地獄変』発売31周年だそうです、おめでとうございます。遡ること1994年10月19日(水) SCEが開発するプレイステーション用ソフトに久保田麻琴を起用するための初会議が南青山アンティノスレコードで行われました。ここから藤丸の唯一無二なサウンドが始まることになります。

Commanche FX was a planned port of the DOS game Comanche: Maximum Overkill to the SNES using the Super FX chip. Here it is running at Winter CES 1995. One of several 3D SNES games shown at the event that would never release. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/c9adc7ca-554b-44ea-bac5-c0998c3e1888

Last day to get the free Castlevania app where the A button doesn't work if you try to use a controller. Touch controls were surprisingly decent. www.konami.com/games/castle...

'The one place it's okay to poke a monkey with a stick' is... a credibly funny magazine ad tag-line for Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll on Nintendo DS, right?

I'm not familiar with the game, but apparently a number of people from Team Andromeda worked on Genshi no Kotoba (PS2). x.com/okunari/stat...

Innovative controllers? Sure! This video game 'glove' for PlayStation 1, released in the late '90s? Generally considered to be a gimmicky novelty, sadly... (Unless you disagree?)

Electronics Boutique's August 1992 catalog - https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/0b364f69-bb09-4f5f-939a-0282bbd46ff3 - devoted one single page to 'Turbo Technologies' (that's TurboGrafx-16 and Turbo Express, aka the PC Engine!) Like what you see?

The Sacred Pools was a FMV game developed by SegaSoft. Posed as an erotic thriller, it apparently had a huge reveal party at E3 1996, though response to the game itself was poor. Here's a quick clip of the booth. archive.gamehistory.org/item/189ba87...

Razorwing was a cancelled battle game for the PlayStation developed by N-Space, but it was on display at E3 1995! https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/92b1039b-bed4-4454-a312-d25bc6b88958 #PSOne #PlayStation #PS1 #Razorwing

Whilst Strider Hiryu is one of the most perfectly paced, beautiful, action packed cinematic masterpieces of games, it is also possible to break literally every scene in many ways if you know how, including bosses Let's beat the game, die, survive & then game over whilst the CPU is in control🤦‍♂️❤️

I recently bought a bundle of old computer books from eBay and this included a brochure for Tiertex, a videogame development studio based in Manchester. Over the years I worked with several people who once worked there. It looks like a trade show brochure that they would give to new clients.

All they had to do was capture 15 seconds of good Bug! footage on the SEGA Saturn for E3 '95, but in the first second they deBug! themselves out of a pit. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/92b1039b-bed4-4454-a312-d25bc6b88958 #SEGA #Saturn #SEGASaturn #Bug

Yoichi Nishimura worked at Busicom (calculators), Commodore (VIC-1001, C64, Max Machine); was apparently invited by Jack Tramiel to join Atari. Nishimura is donating hardware, material to the Microcomputer Museum, the computer museum started by Takeshi Yoshizaki in Ome, Japan. x.com/Dream_Librar...

New blog post time! This week's game is Battle Monsters, a fighting game that sometimes gets mistaken as a "Mortal Kombat clone", but is actually much different and far more interesting. Silly characters, grimy aesthetics, and even a bit of platforming made this a pleasant surprise: #blog #gaming

NES Wizards and Warriors was originally titled 'The Tale'. I took this screengrab from an early build of the game from Paul Proctor's original development disk which I was preserving.

BMX Heat, an unreleased prototype by Atari, uses some hardware similar to Hard Drivin (or Street Drivin), and would have had a bicycle controller to play! Image from the collection at The Strong.
