Retro Ruins

Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy. www.sega-16.com/2026/02/clas...

the machine translations on facebook are pretty rough, so here's a more accurate translation via eurogamer:

My attempt to restore the artwork of #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons: #EyeOfTheBeholder by Jeff Easley used on the cover of the #CommodoreAmiga, #MegaCD, #MSDOS, #PC98, and #SuperFamicom releases. Added the missing bits on each side, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

So, pretty much most of the stuff I like is here, people wise. Wonder if the content will catch up.

Blue Sky has really taken off these last few days. I approve.
