Thanks for the recommendation! Happy to learn that story arc continues.

Huh, I would have figured Wesley Crusher would feature in this. He was becoming pretty Time Lord-y by "Journey's End".

Try playing Sonic the Hedgehog some more and expressing how it makes you feel.

Damn, and that's for each tape. Total for both tapes including shipping adjusted for inflation:

$ calc '((39.95*2)+4.50)*(315/143)' | xargs printf "%.2f\n"
185.92

For the laserdisc release:

$ calc '(64.95+5.00)*(315/143)' | xargs printf "%.2f\n"
154.09

I imported this game when it first came out and it's been one of my favorites. Very interesting to think about how the strengths of the Genesis vs. the PC Engine could be used. So far it looks like it's aimed at graphical fidelity. The PCE had a wider color palette from which to select and could display more colors simultaneously, but I don't think Rondo really pushed those capabilities. Konami did some really nice parallax routines in this game for the single background graphics layer on the PCE. Those effects are much more common on the Genesis with its multiple hardware layers. Curious as to how the "extra power" could be used if werton opts to explore that. The FM cover tune sounds great, looking forward to hearing more!

What blew me away in the video was the costume change. Was that in the original all this time? I know what I'm playing today!

Lovely dithering technique on a challenging medium. Keep it up!

Very hesitant to offer any criticism (cause who the hell am I) but the hat doesn't stand out from the background as well as you've done for the rest of your subject.

Brave friend of mine went into Forest Conservation and Firefighting, got calf muscles big as cantaloupes!

Fun, spooky, action-oriented*, skeletons, bats: Temple of Apshai from 1983 on the Commodore 64. About two minutes fifteen seconds into the video you'll see and hear its unique spooky atmosphere.

*for a role-playing game of this vintage, anyway.

With you one hundred percent – Devil's Crush features one of the best and longest tunes on the Turbografx-16!

This springs immediately to mind:
