For those who remember Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures:
I might as well say it: this is one underrated game. Now if only Bandai Namco followed up on the Interactive Cartoon game idea that this started...
-
For those who remember Working Designs, Vic Ireland and Tim Trzepacz can be found on YouTube. However, whatever happened to many of their other members, including their voice talent, is unknown.

-
For those who wanted to hear more Acid:
Tempo: 128 BPM
Scale: G Melodic Minor
Software: Presonus Studio One, Synth1, and Surge.
-
For those wondering about Attack of the PETSCII Robots, the C64, Pet, and Vic 20 versions are complete.
It also got ported to the Apple ][ with a ][GS port in development.
-
For those wondering why the Super NES version of Valis IV ended up being the dissected port, Telenet had Laser Soft do the job. Had it been a better developer, it would have been closer to the TG-16/PC-Engine CD original with fewer cuts.

Friendly reminder that the Camellia City Farmer's Market is underneath the parking lot for the rest of the summer, and it is still 8AM-to-Noon. In the Meantime, here's Art of Trance:
Enjoy!

Friendly reminder that the Pickford Brothers have a Plok webcomic that is still going. Link: http://www.zee-3.com/plok/
That game's soundtrack still kicks ass to this very day.

With that out of the way, more Cowboy Cooking!

Friendly reminder that this year is Image Comics' 30th anniversary. Especially with YoungBlood, Spawn, Savage Dragon, StormWatch, Shadowhawk, Wild C.A.T.s, and The Maxx.

I was a huge fan of this from late 95 to late 96. After reading DC comics in one of their best eras (late 80s) as an 8-11 year old kid, my 15 year old self somehow decided it was time to go back to super-hero comic-books (the painful transition to high school probably helped) and really wanted to like it, so he bought around 30 comics: a couple of issues of Gen13, 3 issues of Savage Dragon, 1 issue of Spawn, another issue of Freak Force, 3 issues of some terrible series by Liefeld called New Men, 1 of Cyber Force, 1 of Deathblow, 1 of The Maxx...
In retrospect, the only interesting things were the Image logo and the 5 consecutive issues of Wild C.A.T.s written by Alan Moore that I bought at the end of that period (at least my tastes improved over time!).
My conclusion is that not everyone can do a John Byrne successfully and go from just doing the art to also writing the book.
(And yes, I know Spawn and Savage Dragon are decent. I liked the art for those, but I can't say the same about the writing).
-
I have to concur, but at least Spawn and Youngblood eventually got good over the years. Most notably, Alan Moore's take on Youngblood and the current run of that series from 2011. Rob Liefeld has started to improve on his art. Savage Dragon, unfortunately, has been going downhill for quite some time. That isn't helped by the fact that Erik Larsen can still draw well.

Fumes, a different kind of car combat:
All set to Surf Rock.

Gaist Crusher, one of the last games from Treasure:
Its sequel, Gaist Crusher God, was the last game that Treasure made:
They still exist, but just barely.
-
Given how SF5 turned out, Yoshinori Ono leaving Capcom would be an improvement.
