Changed some settings and re-enabled the slot for cartridges. Games runs at quite a high resolution making things small on-screen. Sometimes the text is too small to read. But it plays OK. Love how using 3D the way the enemy swarms enter the screen feels very dynamic. #psvita #taito #retrogaming

Next up to test is Darius Burst CS for #psvita. Never had a #playstation Vita when they were still being sold. Got this one 3 years ago, hacked it and have not really used it again. Just found out the cartridge slot doesn't work with normal games if it is hacked for SD2Vita... #taito #retrogaming

2-for-1; my latest (and final) attempt at that "K.K Slider album art" trend I did all those years ago, and a slight retouch of my most-liked piece on this platform.

#illustration #TheNewZealandStory #TAITO #AnimalCrossing #KKSlider

"Animal Crossing" fan art depicting K.K Slider, Louie and Gulliver somewhere in Cergy, France, purportedly on 6 blvd. de l'Oise.

Part of the "K.K Slider album art" trend, it was inspired by the album art for "Mixtape Messiah 3" by the legendary Houston emcee Chamillionaire.

Fan art of Tiki from TAITO's "The New Zealand Story", standing on a beach and staring at the distance. You can see a cloud formation spelling out "MAN...", a recreation of an old meme with a similar set up and gag.

This is a retouch of a similar piece from earlier in the year to make it print-ready and portfolio-ready.

NEW COVER
Darius - Captain Neo (Space Cave) (Sega System 1, 2xSN76489A)

As it turns out, Darius (pronounced da-RYE-us) debuted in Japan just 40 years ago this month on October 7th, 1986! I was planning on covering a song from a certain game I started recently, but I figured that could wait since I wanted to celebrate the anniversary of one of Taito's most defining series, and their very own flagship STG franchise (yes, other than Space Invaders). Darius wowed folks back then (and even now) with its early usage of an ultra widescreen display, and the game itself is quite a fun time with its weapons, its co-op multiplayer, and its ginormous robot fish bosses (though if you want to play it yourself, I HIGHLY recommend either of the Darius Cozmic Collections by M2 or M2's Mega Drive port of Darius Extra). And of course, I decided to cover the game's first BGM track Captain Neo, which was first composed by Zuntata founder Hisayoshi Ogura for the 1985 game Metal Soldier Isaac II (and its prototype Metal Soldier Isaac) before he arranged it for the more famous Darius the year after. Given that the music in the game uses 6 channels (all 3 FM channels in 2 YM2203/OPN chips), my mind went to the PC Engine at first. However, there's already a PC Engine version of the game, Darius Plus, so that nixed that idea. I was a tad stumped until I remembered that the Sega System 1 used two SN76489A chips, which each have three note channels (plus a noise channel). I've been wanting to do something with the Sega System 1's sound in Furnace for ages, mainly since I love the way Sega and Coreland used it for music back in the '80s (and of course, the games that they made for it like Super Locomotive (which technically was made for a prototype of the System 1 hardware), Flicky, Teddy Boy Blues, and the arcade versions of Choplifter and Pitfall 2). So, I figured it'd be fun to give Captain Neo a bit of an '80s Sega treatment here. It took a bit for me to figure out how I would transcribe the FM volume envelopes by ear to PSG, especially since I take the unorthod…

El juego del día: #RallyBike ( #Arcade)
Creador: #Taito 1988
Tu objetivo era ganar una carrera de motos
El juego tenía otros planes
Hay rivales, tráfico, obstáculos y aceite por todas partes, pero el verdadero villano es el depósito de gasolina, terminas mirando cómo llega a cero.

A sequel to Time Gal, Time Gal Re:Birth, was released in 2023 - almost 40 years after the original arcade release. It was included as a bonus add-on to the Taito LD Game Collection, which included an HD remaster of the original Time Gal.

On this day in 1990 Taito released Rainbow Islands Extra on the Mega Drive. A wonderful conversion of a delightful arcade game that, sadly, never got a western release on the Genesis. #Sega #GenesisDoes #Generation16 #BubbleBobble #Taito youtu.be/pGaSwxq6Yz8?...
