Here's a collage I put together using the original #SuperMario Land (1989) character art. #vghistory

@alexfkraus oh I know. I feel like every time I go there it just so happens to be one of the days the shop is closed..

@alexfkraus The RetroFreak console itself is basically retro at this point and needs a further price cut. I've always thought it was too expensive.

@alexfkraus at first glance I thought you said Book Off Isekai

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus Wow, great finds.

I spent like 10x that for my Mother 2 Hobonichitecho cover.

@toomanywires_ Great write-up! The Prodigy has been one of my all-time favorites since the early 90's. Can't wait to get to that part in the game (right now I'm a level or so after Macaron joined).

@GameOverGreggy Been sticking with "Gooey Yet Firm" since I haven't seen anything better. I really wish the titles didn't take up a slot for other rewards..

When are you going to have @bbrode on the Gamecast to ask him about this kind of stuff?

@rural_cloud84 @HeadcaseGames And also much more enjoyable than the NES Back to the Future game

@DinosaurDracula FYI Micro Magic french fries are available in Japan. I get them all the time and they're still just as good as you remember: https://t.co/rspZuCXFib

@toomanywires_ My tiny brain had a hard time grasping the overarching story that the game was apparently trying to tell, but Immortality was quite an engaging and unique experience nonetheless.

At midnight here (Japan time), NHK's educational channel broadcast a really cool video game-themed animation to ring in the year of the rabbit. Check it out to see if the heroic little bunny can collect enough carrots and defeat the Potato King!

@toomanywires_ Wow, that was a really quality year-in-review write-up. I could relate to most everything and don’t have much I’d disagree with.

I’ve had Immortality on my ‘play later’ list for awhile, so I think I’ll download it tonight and not put it off any longer based on your high praise.

@alexfkraus @supcat I would have guessed 1000 years based on its name

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus Did it taste anything like red velvet at all?
Was it sold at a national chain?

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@RoyAshton @toomanywires_ I agree, it was a great article that I really related to as well.
I just got 117th achievement today and it is so satisfying to see something pop on practically every run.

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus Certainly seems like a good price. And I think it's a damn good game too.

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus I got this too. Shame to see only one page with video games, but still super happy this even exists.

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus Still going strong, but I got a bit of a scare last year when the TRU closest to me closed down. Luckily that wasn't the start a trend.

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@alexfkraus 🤔Hmm...what's the story here? I've never seen Lipton Brisk, Sunkist, Mountain Dew KickStart, or bottled Starbucks Frappucino in Japan.

[FuguEye 👁‍🗨 Video Games & Unique Gaming History @FuguEye]

@toomanywires_ Yeah, we really got screwed on the price this time. It's like somebody went to a $ to￥conversion site and just put down whatever that happened to say.
